People arguing against parent are Property Thieves. see 5th amendment which requires "private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation". It's your property. Do what you want with it. In a…
Why? The Beatles really wrote and performed Strawberry Fields. Why are you entitled to it for gratis? It’s a taking for public benefit. Ancient writings like Plato or Marcus Aurelius somehow feel different. But…
Don’t be so nasty about w2 workers. Incredibly unbecoming. Also see comparative advantage re best roles for each actor in an economy

I like Elestio for managing devops of self-hosting. I don't want to do backups, monitor and fork git repositories for updates, etc. It's non-trivial. My time is scarce. However, I'm extremely reluctant to give my…
Mine shuts off because of conditions regularly. It's very annoying. FSD is a better driver than me 99% of the time.
Where does all of the money go? New York City is spending nearly $30,000 per student this year.
You sound like a great parent doing right by your daughter. She's lucky to have you. The point of school is to learn to think + learn to face adversity & failure....
"_*Permanent liability*_" Are you insane? You have the cash in-hand. The customer has made an interest-free loan to you. You're ACTIVELY trying to *DISCOURAGE* positive cashflow!?!?!?!?!?! You should execute the exact…
Just signup for Shifter (https://www.getshifter.io/) and call it a day. The point of static hosting is to simplify things, not feed into developer fever dreams of complex systems. Plus, Wordpress is established, mature…
Long distance calls cost a pittance now. Service is better. VoIP is a big innovation. Lack of competition in cellular is another story....
How is money not speech? Jeff Bezos is able to buy the Washington Post (or multiple TV stations if he wanted) and can say anything he wants under the guise of free speech. I don’t have Jeff Bezos’ resources, but if I…
The right to petition the government is guaranteed by the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution.

#1 was great. This is a joke right? You do know the US Treasury is the safest financial instrument in the known universe, right? I'm sure you also know that French debt is denominated in Euros a currency which may or…
Move to France. You'd find their backwards, less competitive economy to your liking.
Brilliant response. Economic ignorance encountered here can be stupefying.
This is an idiotic argument that ignores/sidesteps the main point of the parent. No matter what you think of China's economy, it is leaps and bounds better than what it was 20 years ago and provides a dramatically…
Is the answer cars, cheap land, big houses?
By your logic, pharmaceutical companies are exploiting cancer patients. Patients with horrible, painful, fatal diseases are certainly miserable. Pharmaceutical companies are certainly looking to further their own goals…
By the way, as a separate issue; if people were allowed to bid for organs. And assuming you're right that rich people horded them, then wouldn't the supply rise up to meet that new demand? Wouldn't more people sign up…
I agree with everything you're saying (except the part about hording) perhaps.... My expectation is that donors would be paid based on expected value, which is how (I believe), the issue is being framed in debates. ie…
Ah, now we arrive at the real nut of anti-Libertarianism: paternalism. The notion that somehow adults are not capable of making their own decisions. This is our fundamental disagreement. To me, impoverished, indigent…
Libertarianism would say that hit-jobs (and stolen organs) involve coercion. That is, it's not "2 consenting adults", but rather a market for doing harm on to other people and creating a "externality effect" of harm.…
I agree with you completely. As engineers, our instinct is to build things. Business discipline requires focusing on profitable uses of time. It's highly unlikely that building expense tracking software was the best use…
