I think it's good the reward is small. Otherwise it would "force" employees to not call sick days to get the big reward
This way it's just a small thing to recognize someone who (hopefully) didn't get sick in any of the days thay had to work
That is a graph of the official exchange rate, set by the government and not moved by the market
Every day the government moves devalues the peso gradually.
If you search for a graph of the market valued dollars (MEP, CCL, Blue, etc) you'll find they look a lot more spiky
This one in Alphacast (a platform for economic data) compares the blue dollar to the MEP dollar https://www.alphacast.io/p/lisandroiriarte/charts/dolar-mep-...
The downside is that you lose seigniorage (basically the "tax" the government gains from printing coin), so now the country gives that to the US and can only take money from debt and taxes
This is, of course, a different way to name the "lack of control" you mention
The idea of the language is that you describe what you want to say in order for yourself to understand what you mean by each word
The commenter thinks justice is good and about equality, do you? It's mostly a challenge in self-discovery, to know how you would describe different things with the limited dictionary
It's not really made to communicate, although it is of course possible
i assume they're talking about an Arena Allocator
While I'm not an expert, it's probable some things directly cause addiction by modifying something in your brain, while others don't do it directly with the chemicals but by other means
The divide is probably clearer with non-drug addictions, like gambling. Gambling isn't some drug that modifies chemicals in your brain and makes you addicted, and yet some people are addicted to gambling.
It's possible some drugs function like gambling, where they don't actually modify chemicals in your brain to make you addicted, but you can get addicted anyways, psychologically
I'm not sure about "obviously necessary", but they are one of the few cases where they may be somewhat justified
You should always check
The argument is that Rust forces you and in C++ you can forget/the compiler can do what it wants
manipulation
This seems to be the case being argued here
explicitly illegal content
Illegal according to who?
fraudulent content
Fraudulent according to who?
These things you name are an editorial decision and are not unbiased
I think they are talking specifically about complaining though, not about anything in general
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_schooling has several sources if you want to read, specifically the first argument, of the school system as government control
But I didn't think I'd need sources, it's almost a meme how everyone thinks school is where your curiosity dies.
Everyone says we need schools, just not the ones we have, or the ones we had, or the ones we will have.
The school system is the monopoly of the government to say what is important for children to learn, mostly to obey authority
Yes, the education system is hand made to make the students into good employees for the corporations
Sure, you were being stupid only because you though my argument was stupid
You should not convince people that your fantasies are mine
A right is not given to you by an authority. You are free to live your life, as long as you don't control/damage other people.
The State takes away your right to live your life and use your property, and empowers Corporations to make them richer at your cost. In the meantime, the State murders a lot of people.
Your rights must be enforced by yourself until free-market alternatives to the State are created
Everything the State does robs you of your freedom and gives power to corporations, not in North Korea, in all countries
You actually wrote a huge wall of text without addressing anything in my comments, and even managed to insult the intelligence of me and every anarchist in existence in the process, cool
I actually have NEVER heard of someone being satisfied with the roads or strees in their city/county/
The problem is that the State doesn't work, it continually murders tons of people every year, it continually suppresses peoples rights every day, and it continually robs everyone of us of a better world.
The fact that you are currently privileged enough to not feel the oppression, or not understand as oppression and just accept it as a fact of life, is good for you, but it is incredibly abhorrent to just dismiss what I say by saying absolutely nothing
The existance of the State is an infringement on your rights, any good that comes out of it isn't really an argument. It's akin as saying that killing all poor people would eradicate poverty, so it is harmful in some ways but it has some benefits
Other actors would also be States, we the people should fight against all States, not just the current one
Oh no, what a nightmare, if you want something done you have to pay for it
There is a lot of material to read on the denationalization of roads, it's not impossible by any means
The problem is that the State exists to abuse the rights of the people
I don't understand how or why profits ending up on private hands is bad, you are a private hand and the State robs you all the time
AFAIK, most empirical studies don't show any benefit of patents for innovation
I'm not sure specifically about pharmaceutical companies, though. They may be an exception.
Patents have never contributed anything to society.
I think I fixed that for you. Patents have only caused Corporations to battle each other and bully normal people into compliance
As someone not versed in Virtual Machine development, is goto so important? What do you gain by using it?
Intellectual property isn't property (at least, it shouldn't be)
Maybe you should point me to a source
Bank failure is a different problem than bank consolidation, of course it would happen less when you don't allow small banks to exist and just give money to the ones that do so that they don't fail, making them richer and protecting them from their mistakes
It's really easy to say something dumb, but it's hard to actually think about the subject.
I don't really know what happened in East Palestine, but I haven't found anyone saying it was because of deregulation
Economies of scale aren't the only thing that matters
Banking is already one of the most regulated industries, regulation takes out smaller companies and leaves out only the ones that are big enough.
It seems to me way more dubious to claim that more regulations would solve this problem in an already incredibly regulated industry
I'm claiming we need less government intervention
I'd argue it's the opposite, government intervention and existence explicitly favors the biggest players and nudges the market into oligopolies and monopolies
