Comment Re:Ban teachers union (Score 0) 213

It's interesting how freedom of association can be applied very selectively. Sure, union members are associating with each other supposedly freely, but if a shop is a closed union shop you can't get a job there without being 'freely associated' and if a union is established the employer in many cases cannot avoid having to 'associate with it' (well, employer can shut down the shop and move on, which sometimes happens and for a good reason).

Not only are you a thief, angry when somebody you want to steal from doesnt let you take everything you have your sights on, you are also ignorant. Free market means one singular thing: free from violent oppression of the State (and thus the mob, thieves just like you), nothing else. Cartels? No problem with anything like that at all. Now, government cartels, who have legislative and enforcement power - that is the only actual problem. Government using its violence to pander to thieves (like you) and selling that oppression during elections, that is the problem. Good news in all of this - the bubble in currency and debt inflated by governments spilled over into a bubble of government itself. When this one implodes, it will take everything with it, most importantly the governments themselves. Thieves (like you) all of a sudden will have to do your own bidding with your own hands and since you are used to all the stealing to be done for you by governments, you will have to relearn even that skill. And it is easier for individuals to deal with individual thieves and robbers than with a system devised to wteal and rob institutionally.

Oh, what absolute pleasure it would be to see a real fight between those, regarding themselves as 'liberal' (in the USA understanding of the word) and 'conservative' (in the same USA context).

That's the way of the future it looks like, let's make it fun.

Comment Re:This is why markets are not a good model for go (Score 1) 121

Wrong, it's the governments (of the world actually) that do not value unalienable rights. That is the only reason USA used to be known as unique, it had those rights built into the Constitution and then eventually as those rights allowed the markets to create the wealthiest economy in the world in 19th century, the collectivists saw that as an opportunity to steal and pushed for destruction of what made USA unique - protecting those rights.

Markets value what individuals value on voluntary basis and individuals on voluntary basis making individual choices do value their own freedom to possess and operate private property. That's the most important right that governments of the world violate every minute of every day.

AFAIC it is absolutely Google's business and nobody else's how they provide results to the search queries sent to their servers. Governments involving themselves into that process is destruction of the unalienable rights, destruction of private property rights, just like all business regulations, all income and wealth related taxes, pretty much everything governments do every moment of every day.

Ah, one of those, who believes that if he did not steal enough from somebody today then he didn't have a good day and that the individual (or company) he didn't steal enough from today got away with something. Mmmm, the thievery is strong with this one.

Government destroys the free market with every step it takes, it's time for governments to die.

While it's cool to shit on GoDaddy here, it is not only that company that can fall to this type of an attack. They have to implement better security features themselves rather than just trying to sell their own version of 'security' to their customers (extra $$$ for preventing your name and email and whatever else, possibly address from being queried by whois).

I think at the very bare minimum they can implement some sort of a secure word / pin / voice password and maybe a call back to a phone number as a secondary measure.

I see nothing "socialistic" about a government imposing rules and regulations on businesses.

- do you understand what it means, when the mob (government collective) comes to tell you (private property owner) what you cannot do and how much ransom you have to pay not to be shut down and thrown into a pri... re-education camp?

It means that some collective is preventing you from running your own business or your own life as you see fit and as the market forces allow. That is socialism or fascism, basically a collectivist system.

Free markets have been regulated by government since the dawn of civilization.

- that is the problem.

Comment Re:But they help also (Score 0) 366

So selfish, not to want the mob to use its overwhelming numbers to attack a minority of people to steal from them because they have something that the mob wants.

I am nowhere near 99.9% or whatever, I oppose all theft out of general principle, that principle being: virtue is non initiation of force.

The socialist mob (jealous thieves) gives the fascist government the power to initiate force against a tiny minority of people who have something that the mob wants. Then the mob is surprised when that tiny minority of people does whatever it can to attempt and fight against this violence and against this theft, which is the most unjust thing that common people except on nearly universal basis and even have the gall to call it 'justice'.

First I will give you the economic argument: consumption does not drive the economy, production does. You cannot consume what doesn't exist, which is why you are not flying a space ship yourself to a Jupiter holiday today. Production (creation of stuff) is the economic driver, consumption is the trivial act of economic destruction (even if that destruction is required to keep somebody alive, it is still destruction).

Second I will give you the moral argument (which, as far as I am concerned is the real argument): it is morally indefensible to do what the governments and the mob are doing, stealing from people in the first place and then stealing disproportionately more from some than from others.

All income and wealth related taxes are theft and are immoral acts of violence propagated by the mob with the use of a violent government system. You cannot have a just system as long as the system is immoral and it is immoral to steal from some to provide others with the incentive to gang up against the minority that is being stolen from in order to increase the theft.

How do they define 'France' in this case? Who is this magical 'France' that will do all of these things?

Also why 'block websites', does that mean forums as well?

In Russia Putin is making it illegal for people to drive cars in a group together and to set up tent sites... these are being equated to anti-government protests and we can't have anti-government protests obviously and apparently this is not only happening in Russia, I don't see any difference between Russia and France in this case.

Comment projecting UV images from below liquid resin? (Score 0) 95

So I wonder how this UV projector doesn't cause solids to form inside the vat if in fact this projector can cause plastic to solidify as it is being removed from the vat with liquid resin. First I thought maybe that would work by combining UV, resin and basically air, but then how does it work for solidifying the resin within somewhat thicker parts of the model, not every part of a model is spider web thin. Looks like it's both plausible and magic at the same time, because as the UV passes through the vat I somehow expect it to turn all of the resin it passes through into a solid mass. Oh well, maybe that's the secret sauce that makes thing thing. Maybe there are separate wavelengths that get combined together just near the surface of the resin and that's where it gets solid?

I think that any real insider trading only happens in the halls of government offices, where government officials trade on exact knowledge of the laws that they themselves are passing.

I think that any actual fraud needs to be punished, regardless of whether it is committed by an individual or his or her company but I also think government has no business in that, that's what private legal system should be handling.

I think that the real problem with the society is its desire to use violence perpetrated by the government thugs with guns upon individuals.

Comment Re:Of course! (Score 0) 305

I hope you don't really believe that. All the evidence says otherwise.

- it is not a matter of belief, it's a matter of fact. It is government laws that discriminate and hurt people with discrimination. Slavery was a government law, so was the law that chemically castrated Alan Turing, so was any law that forbade interracial marriages, so is any law that says anything at all about homosexuals or straight people, races or genders, or any kind of a 'minority' related law, anything at all that divides people into groups and categories is government discrimination.

Businesses mostly keep away from discrimination if government law does not make it prohibitively expensive not to discriminate. I know I would not hire any type of a government protected group specifically because laws make it extremely expensive to hire and fire them, not because of any personal feelings on any of those subjects. I care about making money more than I care what somebody does on their free time with their penises, vaginas, what skin colour they are, whatever. The point is that any government law that makes it expensive to fire somebody makes it nearly infinitely expensive to hire any such people.

As to 'bonded' whatever, yeah, I don't care what government program there is, it's all a trap anyway. There shouldn't be any government oppression where it concerns our private property and private deals.

Comment Re:Of course! (Score 0) 305

It is our right (right = protection against government oppression) to discriminate against any individual in our everyday lives for any reason whatsoever. Governments destroy our rights by punishing individuals or businesses for any type of discrimination while governments are most likely to discriminate themselves, not private businesses and government discrimination is what is most damaging, not individual or business discrimination. Businesses and individuals discriminate very little due to free market not approving of it. But we must maintain our rights and be free people and keep our right to privately own and operate property without governments oppressing us.

As to criminal background checks themselves, as long as a business can be sued in court for money by anybody claiming that business caused them damage by hiring an ex con and the client somehow lost something and now wants retribution and government allows him to sue because business maybe hired an ex fellon, as long as that is the case (and it is happening all the time), you bet businesses will not hire ex cons. It is all about minimizing costs, and these types oflawsuites do not falll into a category of minimizing the cost of runni g a business.
