I can't say I'll be sad seeing these places have a harder time getting H-1B visas. As long as those companies that do actually need top talent and are willing to pay for it can get them, sounds like everything will be fine.

That kind of accounting would drive up needed grants by at least 20%, or make it so that these NGOs wouldn't actually be able to do anything.

Someone making $10 is going to miss 10% of that a lot more than someone making $100, and they're going to miss 10% of that a lot more than someone making $10,000. And someone making $1MM isn't likely to miss it at all.

The article mentions a custom EPROM that was used on Jobs' personal Apple I. I wonder if the contents of that EPROM are available, so someone with a replica computer could use it?

The whole "both parties are the same" argument has been disproven quite a bit. At this point, it's just a sign of intellectual laziness.

True. In truth, there's probably more than one faction.

At the same time, for a number of issues that are generally regarded as States Rights, why should my rights change because I moved 10 miles? If I am a gay/trans person, why should my rights change? If I am a gun owner, why should my ri

Eh. We have term limits in California. Hasn't done much good. And those terms seem kinda short. Once someone figures out what they're doing, they're almost termed out.

How would one add a 3rd chamber to Congress with this kind of idea?

It's not really a chosen party. It's a flavor of some kind of techno-anarcho-libertarian capitalism.

Or cash. If you're involuntarily bumped, they have to offer you cash, not a voucher that can only be used on certain days and expires in a year.

Mastodon.social? I'm not seeing any kind of anti-capitalist message there.

The thing that's really going to get people on board is whether or not the people they want to follow are on there, and actually posting. If people just use things to repost the same things they post to Twitter and FB, and not engage,

Once again, I'm still not seeing how this actually affects you. I'm not seeing how this stops you from creating something new. I don't, and no one else should care about what other companies do with their creations. You talk

Wait, you're telling me that there's an organization who's actions differ quite a bit from what they tell people their mission statement is? Next you'll be telling me that Google does evil.

So you have a good start, one which is enough for the vast majority of people. Those that do have those things have to do a little extra work. I'm not seeing an argument against doing this.

But again, none of that answers the question: What is moral about saying you should get the work of someone else without paying their asking price? In other words, what's moral about what you're talking about, but isn't moral

"Game piracy and video piracy is still high. That's because these industries hasn't evolved with the internet like music has. Games are doing fine, thanks to Steam, but there are cases like Battlefield 1 for example. If you w

No. This is not a valid comparison. For one, you are completely forgetting the effort involved in creating the work in the first place.

OK? How is any of that stopping YOU from innovating? And there are many different forms of innovation. For one, the technological innovation needed to bring the new Beauty and the Beast to the screen. You could also say the same thing about

"One could also ask "why do you feel entitled to their money for the content"?" No, you absolutely could not. The content is the result of their hard work. You could no more say that than I could say that I'm entitl

At the same time, why do you feel you deserve to use someone else's characters? Why do you feel you deserve to use Mickey Mouse? Why not come up with your own character?

It'd help your argument if you could come up with a moral leg for your side to stand on. What's moral about saying that you should get the works of others without paying their asking price?
