The purpose of trademarks should fundamentally be to ensure the consumer is fully aware of just what they are buying, it should never be to prevent purchases. A consumer should always, 100% be able to purchase a "counterfeit" prod

You don't need to believe, those are verifiable facts. You can see the exact same cycle go through as industries develop. They start with no copyright/patents, they develop successful companies and business models, those companies

That doesn't really address the issue as much as it acknowledges it. It's like someone is pointing out a hole in the bottom of the boat, and the captain looks at it and says "yes, there's a hole in the bottom". A go

Sorry, but in this case it most definitely is. Now you may argue that there are social and health benefits to having handicapped people doing useful (if inefficient work) and that's a perfectly legitimate argument to make. But the fact

A company whose existence relies on government handouts is by definition not sustainable though...

30 employees and 15000 dollars of revenue per month? 500 dollars worth of revenue per employee per month? This is not a viable business.

There are costs to everything you do or don't do. If your argument is that censorship prevents genocide, i would point tou to nazi germany, or soviet russia.

You mean people getting arrested for committing crimes?

That argument never made sense. If a farmer sells some rice to someone else, who then turns around and sells it for profit, the farmer doesnt get to dictate what the trader can do with the rice. Copyright has no legitimate economic or techn

Ok this is a lot to go through so let me take it step by step. In regards to whether or not it works in the US, or other countries that is something i didnt calculate and quite frankly don't really care about. My goal when checking the

There is no reason why you can't implement UBI today, using the exact same money you're spending right now in direct money transfers from social security. I did the math using ocde and national statistics institute data for my cou

I'm not making any value judgement, I'm just asking whether or not there is data to state that they didn't accomplish their goals (with some failures along the way)?

To be honest I wish I got more "error in line 15" type stuff. Half the software I develop just fails silently

Did it fail though? Or do you only see the failures? How many natives went through that? How many ended up with children that are more or less fully assimilated into mainstream Canadian culture?

What are the big drawbacks of joining a zombie startup? What should I look out for? I'm currently considering an offer from one that basically ticks every checkmark on the list, so I'd love to know what is bad about it

All countries can demand it. They are sovereign. Are you asking which countries do demand it?

That will never work because companies will always try to double dip. See cable tv
