Comment Own the company you Work at (Score 1) 353

The only way.... Ignore the people saying contracts, no employer is going to sign a contract stating that all work you do for them is actually owned by you and they cannot profit from it. And even if they did, they sort of cease being an employer, and begin being your employee, except they pay you for the privilege of being your employee. It is sort of a contradiction, so it's impossible

Not a legal structure, a cultural one. About 50% of political Quebecians do even want to be part of Canada, so have no respect for its laws. They have enormous political clout, so pro French laws pass regardless of their legality or not.

Imagine if 50% of voting British citizens were proponents of Sharia law, it would not matter what laws where in place to restrict the governments power. When you have a highly organised majority of a democracy, there are not really any working legal restrictions on their power.

Its not Muslim-like, it is French-like. I was really worried, as a Canadian, until I noticed this is in Québec. Their entire legal system is filled with laws that could never pass our constitution, for the rest of the country. We don't tend to have legal precedent bleed into the the rest of the country; Quebec is more like a separate country to Canada than America is.

Comment Dilution Factor (Score 1) 1097

If there were thousands of such events that Lampooned not just Muhammed, but all religious trappings, each year.... would this sort of lunacy of attacking people over cartoons become less common?
If the scope of the event was big enough would become more of the norm throughout the world?
Seems like killing people over imagery should be what is not tolerated in a civilized world.
That sort of thing is what needs to be extincted.

Comment Re:Far too expensive for a used car (Score 1, Insightful) 65

Theoretically, I would like to see in a few decades if a Tesla engine lasts any significant amount longer than a standard well made combustion. And batteries really take the place of the engine for a combustion car (they are really the heart and soul of the electric car, on which everything else depends). They are super expensive, and I have yet to see any battery tech that lasts over 4 years, and normally it is performing far worse than optimal at a fraction of that time. I think Tesla claims that theirs are suppose to last well, but still not anywhere near where a few years of wear is not a significant chunk out of their value.
