Well, you have a plan? Because right now, taking over the bad countries and making them good countries that don't starve their citizens doesn't seem to work. I suppose we could create a dependent, exponentially growing dependent class of people who need our continued munificence to survive. But last I checked our resources weren't similarly exponentially growing over the rest of eternity.

Or I suppose we could just kill the starving people. But that's not in the spirit of the thing.

Ultimately, it's going to be those starving people who have to help themselves. And they are, depending on location. The developing world is in a far better state than it was in 1950, which seems to be a low point for what was at the time, the Third World.

Ugh, that's a terrible characterization especially he actually has a valid business model, invest in start ups whose business model is doing highly profitable services for government. It's not about "making" jobs, but hoovering up public funding for profit.

I think the spin about returning tech to government is an attempt to evade the opposition to government expenditures. It may also be an attempt to portray the VC fund he represents as being one of a few players in that sector, even though it probably isn't IMHO.

That's not what he's doing. It's a standard VC fund with the expectation of profit. They just happen to specialize in start ups providing government services.

If you were accurate, he'd be fleeced in short order (your last sentence in other words) and life would move on, but with one significantly poorer and wiser entrepreneur.

"is it really possible to express an idea in code that one cannot express in one's native language?"
Yes.

Tell that to conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt, who said he believes semi-automatic rifles are great for women because they don't have to worry so much about aiming.

Believe it or not, this is a common trope in the gun community. They need lots of bullets in case they miss.

You will find that all of those quotes except that of George Mason are fraudulent.

The actual Thomas Jefferson quote is, “No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms [within his own lands or tenements]“

The George Washington quote isn't found anywhere but on Second Amendment activist sites. It doesn't appear anywhere in Washington's papers. The first quote, which you attribute to Alexander Hamilton, is usually attributed to Samuel Adams. The only problem is, Adams never said it either.

That's the thing about this Second Amendment "movement", which as I said, started in the 1980s. They lie. They make stuff up. Maybe they don't realize that people can check these things, or maybe they don't care. As I said above, it tells you everything you need to know about the intellectual honesty of the pro-gun movement.

Please, explain in what way there aren't talented?
It's fine you don't like their music, but to say they don't have talent indicate you have some professional music creation detail they are doing wrong.
Wrong notes? off timing?
I look forward to a detail analysis of their work.

", but if people don't want to hear U2 from their own music collection, they shouldn't have to."
When did Apple force anyone to listen to it?

It wouldn't be stuck in your library if you setting didn't allow for it.

Modded insightful because you think making music isn't real work?
Idiots, all of them.
I wonder what you consider real work?

Accept you would violate several laws in doing so.
However, if you give me your address, I"ll be happy to send you a book on logical thinking, as well as the proper want to go about finding a therapist.

Wrong.
Apple thinks it can give someone a gift, and trust that person setting to accurate reflect the user.

" I want my library to be composed of material I choose, not apple."
The turn off that damn feature., IT's not Apples fault you don't know how to use your phone.

I bet you are so outrage, you'll get rid of all your Apple stuff, right? what's that? you won't? Then you don't care that much. do you?

Yes, it is overblown. People got a free album. It was downloaded to device that were set to allow automatic downloads. End of story.

You can be a hypocrite and still realize change needs to be made. When you are entrenched in a system, you can only change it from inside the system.

People in sweatshops are often treated as property. Hence, slave.
also:

There are many methods of slavery.

People aren't arguing semantics when they say it isn't slavery, they are just ignorant about slavery.

Not if I gave you permission to do so; which Apple needs to do this to your device.

I would be upset you were actually in my house, but that irrelevant here.

You need to have automatic downloads turned on. You can also have you device only download over wi-fi.
If you are concerned about data, and you haven't used those features, then learn how your phone works.

I ma really tired of this shit.
Rich person send his money and limited time on a charity the want supported.
Suddenly they are bad people.

I suspect your just jealous, but since you can't actually talk about making music, you just make up ad hom attacks about what he does with his money.
