Doing that means you used to get the medieval and renaissance guild systems. However, we already have countries that ignore copyright/patent/trademark (China). The new solution is to remove features from devices, and to tie them i

What you're trying to create needs to deal with this now simple fact: Creation of a thing costs a lot of time and resource. Copying said thing is trivial to the point of free. (This is the biggest difference between our current culture

That's the nice way to cheat with AI. It takes a probabilistic set of inquiries to discern the truth. And right now, I'm in my states capitol, looking for a restaurant... Using Google maps. And when I searched for restaurants, was

This place is much more for pedantic gotchas and devs showing really cool stuff off. The only jokes tolerated are the humans who post really stupid stuff. Actual jokes like from the ad campaign from Chick-Fil-A aren't really funny, eit

Too true. A LSL thread isnt probably a good place for it. But one thing I've noticed in all my years here, is that there's national philosophical disputes. And these disputes are defined by hardliners on all sides of an issue, and

Tax was being collected, on top of the $350 being told to the buyer. Ebay told me $300 for the completion of the auction. There was the normal fees associated with listing, which again, are understood. This $50 discrepancy was not accountab

Ugh, this is the result of a "right to copy" and capitalism rears its ugly head with systems that can ingest massive quantities of information. Where this can lead to, I see, is that Universities and companies will move to claim &

Thanks but I'm no admin. Anybody with some minimum amount of karma can "vouch" for a flagged post. You just click on a flagged post in the "$time ago", and a vouch should show up there. Youve got 7k karma so you sho

I vouched for this and un-flagged it. I find most of your content here to not have any good follow-through. Amazon isn't just some software on a few servers. It's a whole vertical enterprise. Suggesting that some front-end and bac

Thats not the only thing I caught, at least with Ebay. During the pandemic, I decided to sell a bunch of a component I had stockpiled. (Im not a scalper. I got the parts when my dad died.). I put them for sale with $100 minimum, auction. Th

Piracy is ethical when purchasing doesnt equal owning. This is yet another case of falsely advertised "ownership", that is really a rental.

Yandex works VERY WELL for me for general stuff. Goods, reviews, piracy, etc. All super nice. Things that are location-based do bad, cause they're Russian. They optimize for Russian location stuff.

Those whom do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. I am an anticapitalist, and I am acutely aware of what I am against. Advertisements, and how they solidified in the 1800s to current is one such thing I'm directly against.
