The artists aren’t going to get more money. Just that the consumer won’t have their music now.

The amount of communists in this thread is simply astonishing. I thought we had accepted the concept of property rights. Why even stop at immovable property and not movable?

Alright, you had me convinced until the sentence “the writing is sub Bethesda”.

Yeah…no.

Most startups are funded by large / rich investors though. It’s only when they get public do they get funding from society in general. But by that stage they are no longer a startup.

Correct and usually what’s recommended is that people should switch jobs every couple of years for a 15-30% hike. Your existing company won’t give it, but if you shift, there’s a high chance you will get it every 2 years - until it plateaus.

Yep. It’s high risk high reward.

That’s an extremely narrow view point I’d say. In my country the government promotes the growth of existing big corporations so that there can be more jobs and infrastructure development - but this has in the end lead to a widening of gap and has essentially only made the rich even richer.

I genuinely believe promoting start ups is better for the middle class than big corporations, as usually startups pay a crazy amount of money if you ask for it compared to what a big rich corpo would give you (ironically).

Actually they tried the normal way, where they didn’t shoot and asked the poachers to surrender / tried to arrest them. But the rangers would get shot and the animals would continue to get poached.

Seeing this as a problem, a new executive order / law was passed allowing shoot at sight orders at national parks / protected zones.

Poaching has reduced, the number of rangers getting shot has reduced. The number of poachers getting shot has reduced (they don’t wanna fuck around anymore).

Overall it has increased peace.

Yes, this is why financial crimes and financial crime laws don’t exist in rich countries!! Oh…

Anyway for this to work on Android TV?

What’s this petition supposed to do at all? Only a lawyer can get the criminal prosecution dismissed by filing and arguing in court…

When you refresh the feed, the hidden posts come back in both these apps.

I need a client that automatically marks as read as you scroll by. And it doesn’t bring back the read threads every time you reopen or refresh the god damn app.

Has already happened with laws requiring identification of users who want to visit porn sites (Utah)

I’m aware of those services and in many cases they are paid and not free. . If a “client” has to host a “server” then the system most certainly is not “perfected” contrary to what OP said.

I think a large number of people grow up to be inconsiderate and just aren’t educated with basic manners. I see people littering the street, playing loud music at night which may disturb others etc.

But if you speak of a “greater good” then the problem is a lot of people don’t understand or just fail to agree upon what that means. I spoke to someone about my work with open source and free software and the person just said “oh, but that’s just to make yourself look good”, as if its some sort of check list that “look I’m charitable” and not an objectively better choice in most situations.

At that point I’d be like why the fuck would I want this selfish thick skulled ass to have anything good? And ironically become selfish.

Perfected? The server is incapable of storing logs so if the client ever disconnects you just miss all the content…
