blamed

Please, remind me why Amazon should be blamed for this and not praised.

So "this would never have happened under Steve Jobs" can partly be blamed on him.

Pl is being blamed for over 100 bugs. Not just security flaws.

Yes, well, the US government can hardly be blamed for not being concerned about its own influence.

Facebook can't be blamed for the cultural and relationship issues at play here, but they can be blamed for how they went about this. And we can be blamed for trusting them.

> Please, remind me why Amazon should be blamed for this and not praised. Because taking advantage of desperate people isn't an honorable thing to do.

They didn't ask those questions, they couldn't take responsibility, they blamed the junior developer. I think I know who the real fuckups are.

Look, I get your point that shutting up is a good idea, but we can't blame the person for not shutting up, the police should be blamed for their actions. The fact that we have people like you standing up for the police here makes me think we probably have no chance as a society anymore.

Wow. This stuck out so much:\n"My mother, who'd earned degrees in physics and electrical engineering in the 70's, cried when I told her that I was leaving and why but she never blamed me. She'd hoped that my generation’s experiences would be better than hers."

Shares in major US record labels have fallen over 40% in the past year, which industry insiders have repeatedly blamed on the way that Europeans "don't respect copyrights." As one CEO put it, "If they won't respect our rules voluntarily, we have to make them respect them."

Everything the government does right is lauded while everything it does wrong is blamed on "corporate interests" and capitalism.

I discovered soon after that the company blamed me for the attack, saying I turned the firewall off and hacked the servers myself. The school immediately started expulsion proceedings without even contacting me.

We all understand fixing someone's computer and then being blamed for any problems it has from then on; or for making a software estimate and being held to it as a requirement. In short, hackers are used to being scapegoats, so the first conclusion we jump to when one of us is accused of something is that they're being scapegoated too.

But he had had a very bad cough for a few months that to be honest, had become kind of a workplace annoyance and was blamed for everything from loss of productivity to a rash of URIs that ran through the office for a few weeks. He didn't show up one day and everybody assumed he had finally decided to take some time off and attend his cough.

He told me that it all built up; he was being blamed when things went wrong and weren't done on time and not being praised when things went right and were delivered within unrealistic time-frames. His girlfriend had also left him the day prior to the meltdown, he said she was unhappy because he was never home and when he was, he was always fixing something remotely or had to come in to fix something.

Instead, he wrote a brute-force solution with a simple optimization, and did not realize that this is the real cause of his code under-performing, blaming the Ruby's slowness for it, when he really should have blamed the Dunning-Kruger effect.

The dispatchers hated me because they constantly had to explain to management why my loads were late and how I could not be blamed for the delays as I had documented everything and communicated the delays well in advance. Every other driver would have gone over their hours illegally to compensate, but I always stopped when I ran out of driving hours and therefore missed appointments.

So, this board has recently brought in a software guy who doesn't seem a good fit for a company that does a lot of hardware, had him make a bunch of unpopular decisions, then quickly replaced him with somebody that's been on the board for quite some time, without reversing any of the previous "damage" that Apotheker is being blamed for. Apotheker appears to be the fall guy for some unpopular decisions that the board wanted made anyway.

Technology was just about to solve many of the problems that had him so upset-- that he blamed on industrial society. My view of technology and progress is that it's nearly monotonic in "goodness", but that the old humanity we're now trying to distance ourselves from is quite tenacious and willing to use technology toward pre-technological purposes, and so the long-term convergence toward democracy that we'd like to see doesn't come nearly as fast as we'd like.
