>"There is no criminal underclass of convicted billionaire sociopaths" To that I agree. However you can not make laws specifically criminalizing rich for "violations of accepted ethical norms". It will just open flood

>" better criminalize violations of accepted ethical norms" What a load of BS. Wat's next ? Burning witches? I think we are way over our heads with criminalization already and have created big underclass of people who have

Not the cheapest but one that has Smart BMS, IP rating, good suspension, big range and big power margin for safety. Otherwise yes, you can buy cheaper one starting I think with as low as $1000.

Well you can interpret it like this and there is a logic. But truthfully my reply was to express my attitude towards the sellers of "status symbol" when the equivalent in everything but brand name is easily available for a fractio

The only reason I've got EUC is because they're an incredible fun to ride. I've become a bit of an addict as for me it is pure mental and physical joy. I do not give a flying fuck about its status value. It is most likely big

True. I can afford some but the thought to buy one just because I can had never crossed my mind.

I was talking about personal income tax as a percentage of my income. Spending is discretionary and does not matter. Otherwise I have a proposal for you - let's get rid of income tax and replace it with sales tax. Also I do own busines

This is one case of royally fucked up logic.

Where do you see vitriol? To me it looks like - truth hurts. And I am anything but left or right.

Rich do not pay 40%. Not anywhere close. Workers do. We have a system that penalizes workers explicitly and let exploiters get away. It is crony capitalism and has nothing to do with the communism which as was defined had never materialized

Well if you want deregulation I'll start with all that land and patents owned by big corporations. Why the fuck should I pay money for some invention if I can come up with the one myself? Why some fuckers restricted my freedom of movem

We do have various regulations. More of those come each year. Have nothing to do with communism. Alternatively - "capitalize profits and socialize losses" is just as bad I think and looks very "communistic".

I do make plenty of irrational choices too. Same people who do not mind paying thousands for a gun laugh at me when I pay $5000 for an EUC. Hard to explain but I think it is a bit different than paying for "status symbol"

by FpUser 2y ago
Well, this is a bit different. It is a way to safely park one's money. Not paying 10x price for a thing with the whole purpose being to show that I am fucking rich.

Well I work as an independent company, I find clients, develop products for them on my own premises and get paid, sometimes it is licensing fees. I am not rich but do well enough and can retire. So no, except the government nobody tells me

It is game like by tech used but is not really a game. Unlikely to be noticed. When IF it ever does I'll worry about it the, Not too difficult as there are libs just for that. For now my simple signing works like a charm.

I have implemented publish/subscribe middleware in the 90s using UDP and reliable IP multicast. It was not too hard to do and had taken me about two month. Yes I did reinvent the wheel but it had numerous positive sides: a) It adde

Arguments like this should have practical value for business. For my business the value is zilch. It is simply not worth it for the hacker to mess with my packet server. I've been running it for 10 years with 0 complaints. And the wors

I use UDP for my desktop game like software with clients all over the world to propagate anonymized state. It needs no encryption as the transmitted data has zero value to any third party. It needs no reliability since dropped packets would
