Yes, exactly this, thank you. It is actually quite good, shame that their main node seems to be out of capacity.

Basically you have e-mail, which is a protocol (actually a set of protocols, but ignore for now). Thus you can e-mail a protonmail user from your gmail/corporate account without any issues. However Twitter and Facebook are proprietary

If anyone wonders why LBRY (Odyssee) is not part of Fediverse, despite dwarving PeerTube or whatever it is called: https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/3982

Honestly. Start with learning what very basic economics is - "Wealth of Nations", "Human Action", etc and then try extrapolating your perception based on mastery of the principles. In practice this means deciding for you

It didn't require a court order. Banks did it on "recommendation". This is what ultimately convinced me that we are no better than the Siberian bald dwarf.

If Varoufakis is such a financial genius (with his eccentricity he is either that or a complete retard), then why is the country whose finances he managed the laughing stock of Europe? And why did it become like this on his watch? Disclaime

Could you provide some data on those studies?

There is only one way to do so with a 100% success rate - get another offer and show it to your boss. Even if he says no, you still get the raise :D On the other hand if the raise you are asking for is above current market rate (which could

Yes. I know very well that this is the justification (and a justification can be invented for anything). Now it is your turn to explain to me how does this fact contradict my statement that the drawback of such paradigm is that it makes it

Not being aware of it and not admitting being uninformed does make you 'very stupid' though.

Do you provably own quarter of trillion USD of equities? This is exactly what the very stupid people never seem to understand about wealth - net worth is not cash under the mattress (nor on a "Savings" account). Musk (as well as B

I always thought Ruby has symbols because const String ACCOUNT_FUNDS_EXCEEDED = "ACCOUNT_FUNDS_EXCEEDED" is plain retarded :D

I will be honest, my experience on 4c was 15+ years ago and only on /random. I just used it (most probably incorrectly) as an example of anarchy.

Also, if there are people complaining of censorship you can always give them a '4-chan mode' and watch them come back asking how to switch it off after 5 min.

"Free speech absolutism is possible and is beneficial once you ensure that someone is not gaming the system, i.e. someone pretending to be more than one person." This is probably the core motivation behind the $2/month blue c

When it comes to programming it is not really due to superior work by the competition, but by so many people gaming the Google PR flooding the front pages with content-farm level crap. Generally for any search string producing 3-4 pages of

" A sheriff would forcibly remove you from your home in such cases." So, this is your "non-violent" collectivism? Thank you very much. This is all I needed to hear.

You did not answer - you listed my options and I was asking for the reaction of the collective. Because I know that functional illiteracy is becoming a serious problem, I'll do my best to help you: "How exactly are they going to l

This is perfectly alright and waaaaaay more libertarian than collectivist.

If Pariah means the collectivist people not trading or communicating with you and no violence then I am OK with that. Now, could you explain how this is collectivism and not voluntaryism?

Look. It is a very simple question. The township has a 1 promile property tax. I never pay it and refuse to leave my property. What happens next? You guys wrote 5 walls of text just dodging the easiest question on Earth.

How can someone force you to take debt? Can you give one example when someone was punished physically for refusing to take debt?

Please, answer the simple question. I refuse to go by the collective will and there could be no violence involved. What happens next? I cannot believe that you went on insulting large groups of people while being unable to answer a simple 6

Alright. It is a township then. I refuse to go by the collective will. What happens next if violence is not an option and private property is respected?

And what do you do if someone disagrees with the crowd? How do you force him without coercieon? (hint those two words are synonyms).

Oh my... In truth you can very easily do that just look how the taxation graph in OP's link compares to the gov spending over that period. The only anomaly seem to be the late WWII years. https://taxfoundation.org/short

This is extremely relative. There is the Laffer curve and the point of it is that at 90% taxation the taxes collected were actually less than at the moderate tax rates. A side effect of this phenomenon is that this is the period when the Am

To be honest I believe in exactly the opposite. My personal crazy theory is that there is organic and synthetic inequality. Organic being caused by natural factors and projected as a Gaussian distribution significantly smothered down by fac
