are you seriously arguing for having to interact with the justice system for not responding to an email within an hour as anything but totally wrong? jesus christ, where am i?
tell me there's an "acts interpretation act" interpretation. or even "acts interpretation act" interpretation act.
the government stifles new businesses, news at eleven.
that's until tech-savvy people make a simple script/installer for the common folk. something like what happened with the LOIC. it's a cat & mouse game and i'm willing to bet there are far more hackers outside of goverment than inside it.
interventionism? communism? cronyism? statism? what do you mean?
only if you subscribe to the notion that current social democracies are not socialist. "opposition to enabling people to live off the back of others"? strange, the left implements that everywhere already. and of course marx would be opposed, because his belief in LTV is an entirely different kind of wrong.
if the market price for garbage collection rises that high, every other job that seems 'better' will have to rise the pay too, else people will all go into garbage business. who will clean my seat at the peep shows then? and if every job costs that much, the product of it will have to cost accordingly. in the world of UBI, either a loaf of bread will cost 300000 of cold hard cash, or there will be no one to build the first generation of your precious robots. hence the nightmare. anyway, back in the 1960's some idiots already forewarned that factory automation was fast approaching and it would make everyone lose jobs. google automation hysteria. what they proposed was eerily similar to UBI. this new iteration is just history repeating itself. guess they didn't predict society just changing to find new jobs.
i wholeheartedly agree. the present crony capitalism and government interventionism into the market are damaging to the honest enterpreneur - one that doesn't have a senator's ear. the only way for free market to work is for goverment to back off. it's good that at least one other person understands that!
and at least one abandoned it - finland.
personally i hope with all my heart that your socialist nightmare will never come to pass.
i think it's called connecting a lauterbach or whatever to the server and giving remote access to the machine running the debugger. we just need a catchy name for it.
baby don't ret me
oh wow, it can play chess. can it efficiently stack shelves in warehouses yet?
this is why openbsd foundation is based in canada.
can't you just slow the simulation down? processing one second would take (for example) one year, but the creatures inside the simulation wouldn't know that, would they?
can wireguard work over tcp? many captive portals i encounter daily block most ports and almost always allow only tcp. so i set up openvpn on port 443 over tcp, which got through everything so far.
he also wouldn't have gotten any traction if people had no concept of envy. yet eliminating envy is just as stupid as eliminating natural differences between individuals.
i agree. free market capitalism should replace current corporatism. but that's currently impossible - there will always be lobbying and special treatments while the goverment is able to interfere with the market.
because people continue to live. those skilled in making money make more money, those not - lose more money.
Rothbard, Hayek, Hoppe, et al.
from my point of view all those deaths and massive unrests resulted from various groups trying to do away with inequality, usually by taking what's not theirs.
and that money, where did it come from? look at fortune 500, what percentage inherited it? what percentage inherited it from someone further down the ancestral line than their parents? rich people without skill will squander their fortunes.
unequal society was sustainable exactly until now. there is no evidence whatsoever that it won't still be.
inequality is rising because some people are simply more skilled than others.
can we finally offer scientific explanation for why we rarely clean our apartments??
'we'? wow, yet somehow you're free to broadcast your beliefs for all world to see. it's funny you talk about a revolutiuon, since all revolutions ever did was take things that don't belong to revolutionaries and distribute them among them. are you sure you're oppressed and not just envious? maybe the more moral thing is to invest in self-improvement and find a better job?
maybe to those poor the current system was the best available way of making money? if it wasn't, surely they would find something better. have you asked them whether they were actually exploited or did you just assume?
welp, i hope you like paying more for food. and since all workers need food - for everything else too.
could we use this on earth in the future?
