Ok, which out of these, which is the most important thing for a company: 1) users 2) paying customers 3)share/stake holders, 4) company's employees, 5) society & 6) others (please specify)

Journeyman Geek

2 and 3

user202362

2) and 3) are more or less related

Elephant

user's satisfaction?

Journeyman Geek

no one gives a shit about employees.

Most companies probably consider users a product these days ;p

Elephant

well, without users, what's the point of the company anyway

user202362

what's the point of capitalism?

Jason C

@Telkitty VTC, unclear. Needs company details. Facebook vs. Boeing vs. Exxon vs. GitHub, Inc, totally different priorities.

user202362

how are Facebook, Boeing, Exxon & GitHub different

Jason C

Also depends on what stage the company is in.

But generally, without 2 and 3, you got nothing, and having 2 and 3 implies you've got the rest of the choices covered. So, yeah. 2 and 3.

Or, more ultimately, 6) Net Profit. Which implies all other options are taken care of, including 2 and 3, and covers all cases aside from companies in an initial startup phase.

Well, more accurately, "Money in the bank"

Journeyman Geek

@Telkitty basically all the other systems vaguely suck unless you can completely remove the human element

command based economies can't really react as quickly

not to mention, most states don't have real capitalism

Of course, one can argue true capitalism is impossible as long as too much money, power and the ability to use knowledge is concentrated and doled out by a few.

@JourneymanGeek One could, but first one should question if the world really needs yet another copy of that conversation in some chat room transcripts or comment archives somewhere, lol.

Journeyman Geek

@JasonC I'd personally would argue less if I had gainful employment.

Jason C

hehe

Journeyman Geek

I would very much not mind trading my skills for money so I can trade that for material objects

that is the very definition of capitalism.

(granted, what is SE? I am trading my skills and knowledge for... imaginary internet points)

Its even arbitrary values of said imaginary internet points.

Steven Vascellaro

Stack Exchange is like unpaid work writing documentation for random people's Google questions

And I wouldn't have it any other way

Journeyman Geek

lol

I actually vaguely disagree there ;p

I actually learn stuff/dig into stuff I wouldn't know of otherwise too

tchrist

3:05 AM

@JourneymanGeek That's what she said.

Journeyman Geek

@tchrist all work is a form of that economic model

If you do it for yourself, its probably fine

but then you need to find work.

and then there's a whole pyramid of people atop you

tchrist

inverted pyramid

Journeyman Geek

and there's body shops who primary concern is making as much profit off you and your customer...

tchrist

aren't they all like that?

Journeyman Geek

yup

@StevenVascellaro facebook, linkedin & twitter are probably worse

Steven Vascellaro

I mean, I managed to indirectly create a bug report on meta with one of my posts, so I'm pretty happy with my work today

user202362

I used to be an attention whore, but I used to have next to nothing ... nowadays I almost exclusively want to hide

Steven Vascellaro

Actually, @JourneymanGeek, did you want to tag that emoji post with status-bydesign?

@Telkitty What's there to want to hide?

A: Are Canon Rebel T3 lenses compatible with Canon T6i?

I wish I have seen this board before. "Community" username just summarized everything so efficiently with lens compatibility. I hopped from one site to another and still didn't get the clarity of lenses. Thank God for your post.

user315433

Community gets all the credit... and all it did was replace http with https.

user315433

And God gets thanks, for doing even less...

No, not another form. What happened to drinking someone's blood, anyway?

user315433

Vampires used to have less bureaucracy in the good old days.

Journeyman Geek

@StevenVascellaro eh, not really

user315433

You're a creature of the night, Mike... you should have scrolled to the bottom of that form before clicking "Agree"

Journeyman Geek

its more of a "end user system" and "end user" bug

than something SE's probably thought of

@ShadowWizard I saw, once, on MSE, a feature request for the ability to add anchors to answers and link to arbitrary locations within an answer. Now I can't find it. Have you seen that one? Do you know where it's at?

... O god of duplicate finding, I humbly beseech thee.
