I’m not asking you to “give” my money value. I’m asking you to answer a simple yes or no question: does it currently have value or not? The way you’re trying to defend your obvious lack of consistency is purely circular. If it has value, yo

What’s the point you’re trying to make? Do cryptocurrencies have value or not? It’s one or the other, you can’t claim they have value when you want to tax them and then claim they don’t when you want to regulate them.

Cryptocurrencies have no value, what do you intend on taxing?

Seems like the winning formula is to have some performance cores and some efficiency cores, but not too many and only 2 kinds. Meanwhile Qualcomm and Snapdragon mobile processors have 3-4 different kinds of cores and a third more of them in

There are many, many, many things that are regular classroom exercises in C++ that are extremely difficult or impossible to do in rust. Rust programmers tend to just pretend like anything rust doesn’t do well is an antipattern. Making the s

Turns out that English teachers doing nothing but discussing their politics in class, addition of more and more breadth requirements and dumbing down stem courses to appease the lowest common denominator makes public high schools unappealin

Pixels, sounds and ideas aren't your property. That has nothing to do with communism. Force is only justified in response to force, and you've still yet to prove that my copying of your ideas is forceful enough to warrant governme

by alphanullmeric 3y ago
But it doesn't matter what your definition is. If your definition of force includes copying, then we're done. That's what I wanted to hear you say. If not, but you want to go after people that copy, then you don't believ

My definition of force is the definition of force. The definition I gave you was literally "literal force", and you understood that to mean something different from your interpretation of force. You are the only one trying to chan

Somehow Apple never has supply issues, meanwhile the good half of Lenovo’s ryzen 7040 series is not available in North America.

Of course it’s my opinion that force is only justified in response to force, disagree?

Don’t care.

In case I haven’t already made it clear enough in the comment you replied to - whether I believe in something or not doesn’t depend on who would benefit from it. But to answer the question, you use proprietary software protected by means ot

I’ll answer for you then. Yes, you’re claiming that copying is force. I am defining force as literal force. What theft can occur without physically touching the thing being stolen? I didn’t duck the question. I answered it. I even answered

by alphanullmeric 3y ago
You have the right to protect it with means that are not government force. Force is only justified in response to force, and you don’t get to ransom anyone that “steals” your thoughts and pixels. Do you believe copying is force? That’s a ye

Irrelevant. You said “it’s the law”. I responded with “it’s the law”. You lack consistency, more at 12. I already made it clear in my original comment that unlike you, my position on IP holds universally and not just in situations that bene

Sure then, by law I could have had slaves too. Glad you’re honest about the side of history you sit on.

by alphanullmeric 3y ago
And if there was no slavery we wouldn’t have any pyramids. I don’t care. You don’t have the right to an idea, a sound or a particular arrangement of pixels. That’s not communism because nothing is being taken from you. I don’t owe you any t

Intellectual property shouldn’t be a thing. If you still have it after I’ve supposedly stolen it from you, then it’s not real property. The easiest test of consistency is simply to ask about both piracy and AI training data. If you support

No it doesn’t. The vast majority of what is taught in a college C++ course would be either impossible or extremely difficult to do in rust. You couldn’t implement std::tuple or std::variant for instance. The carbon docs never recommend rust

by alphanullmeric 3y ago
Use C++ if you want control, use Rust if you want safety. And it seems to an extent that carbon will offer most of both.

Never trust a government that claims it supports privacy. Maybe it supports some privacy regulations, just like it supports anti-privacy regulations here or with financial privacy. The thing the EU really supports is regulation and not priv

Not bad looking for an electric car. Meanwhile other companies are putting green accents, painted lightning bolts, fake grills, fake engine noise soundtracks, etc. how embarrassing.

by alphanullmeric 3y ago
It’s unjust if you believe force is only justified in response to force, which you do not. Glad we cleared that up.

Are you suggesting it or saying it should be illegal? Again, by defending these laws you want it to be forced. I never said anything about software I didn’t produce, should I interpret this as you agreeing that you will force me to provide

By defending this legislation you are.

Whether or not my software is of quality is none of your business. I’m allowed to say “no guarantees”. It’s not your right to force me to provide you a guarantee. Force is only justified in response to force, and nobody forces you to use op

Another right that requires someone else to do something for you rather than refrain from doing something to you. I guess the whole “force is only justified against force” thing is not believed by most Canadians.
