No, that would be overly relativistic. There is a huge corporate culture that drives tax law lobbying. This has created a situation where tax law more likely reveals the will of the corporations, not the will of the people.

This makes me wonder, again, whether I have read a different article. If you want to attack the NYT piece, maybe you should comment on that thread, but this is the discussion about Tim O'Reilly's post containing reflections on the general t

I disagree. From what I understand, he is not talking about government needing the money, but society needing the money (in his example, which is, after all, the central reason for his post, he talks about him taking in money for a grou

True, but it did make me wonder: Maybe they only do that because it IS so much more profitable to just sell it off. Any company that had access to dirt-cheap platinum would surely have a huge market advantage. Furthermore - The companies th

Being German, my native tongue has sort of a reputation for being overly analytical and rational. Still, English has long since become at least an equal partner in my own head, and when developing or even just sitting at my computer, it has

Could you try phrasing your question a little more specific? I have trouble making sense of what you're getting at.

Kind of reminds me of the Asimov Quote: > “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as

I would further say that you'd probably have to distinguish between a person being sexist out of negligence and a 'true' sexist. A lot of "white knighting" falls under the first and can result in people who are absolutely convinced that the

I agree with you to a degree, but you simply can't put it as strong as you did. It is absolutely possible to make a joke that is understood as sexist without being one yourself. That's actually the schtick that a lot of comedians go by. Pre

Yes, that was what I was talking about - If you make a choice and then depend on another person making a choice, your chances are precisely 50/50. That's the prerequisite of the game. Of course, it gets a lot more complicated after that,

The main difference is that in the prisoner's dilemma, you don't get to talk and try to persuade your fellow prisoner.

In a prisoners dilemma maybe, but as others have pointed out - this show is not a good example for one.

Superficially, choosing either Steal or Split gives you two sets of equal, 50% chances: Steal: 50% Everybody looses, 50% I get everything Split: 50% Everybody wins, 50% Opponent gets everything In very basic, almost evolutionary terms, the

This is great. The Show offers each player with three possible outcomes, which makes negotiation hard because the highest incentive is on getting all the money (choosing Steal while tricking the opponent into choosing Split), while the lowe

Amazon is not about getting you to fill your purchase order with the parts list of your latest project. It's about trapping you and selling you things you didn't know you wanted. What would you want Amazon to learn from them?

I do see value in the core of your argument but, boy, do you ever not know how to sell it. In essence, your main argument is: "Here is how I see it". Well guess what, that's the same argument that the guy you're replying to made, so it mi

Agreed - the big difference to the nerdier bits of minecraft here is that it seems, in comparison, absolutely trivial to copy complex concepts in 0x10c. In minecraft, you might be able to load the map for yourself or, if you're already very
