I do not support this happening within the current capitalist system. It will lead to even more exploitation of workers, especially in countries with labour laws that aren't as strict. It favors workaholics over people with good balanc

I see no hypocrisy at all. The FSF campaigns for software freedom, not necessarily for freedom with regard to works of art. Whether software is a work of art or not is irrelevant. I'm all for public domain with works of art, but it&#x2

The memes are "banter" and fun, which a lot of people really do enjoy. It's like a bar, where you have most people talking about banalities, but there are a few people who will explain theory to you, link you to books, debate

I think this is a narrow position. On the boards on chans that I frequent, this isn't at all true. Yes, there are occasionally "trolls" who pretend they have positions they do not. The sarcasm may be subtle or not, depending

This is certainly a problem, but I find it happening less on "special interest" boards. I don't think it's too far from Reddit in this respect. On /r/funny you might expect something like this to happen, with t

I think the Dev Tools are better at some things (browsing the elements on the page) but not as good at others (seeing the contents of the POST/GET and contents of cookies).

Well there are units for various sizes: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Units#Table_of_all_units and saying "1 USD gets you about 1 millibit" or something isn't that bad. I really want to use bitcoin for my p

I read a story on /r/hentai (yes, bear with me) who said that he was stopped at the Canadian border and they searched his laptop. In his browser image cache they found drawings of fictional characters who appeared to be under the

My thoughts exactly. Also laws in the UK which ban certain pornographic drawings. The latter is more likely to have you blown off as a 'pedohile' rather than defender of civil liberties. Even disgusting speech is speech and few pe

It's quite strange that the lacking feature of vim was a proper and good extension language where most of the editor itself you could modify, but vis comes along and instead of a powerful language like Lisp has Lua almost tacked on. An

Unfortunately there's not much on the chans either. The ones I used to browse have generally been overtaken, even on tech/programming boards with threads complaining about diversity or they are thinly-veiled alt-right recruitment

The strange syntax of Haskell is what's turning me off from learning it. With Lisp, the syntax was strange still, sure, but it wasn't confusing, it made sense. I feel like I can't even get in to reading Haskell or even OCaml.

Out of interest, what about Ayn Rand's writing in particular, or what themes, were appealing to you? If you do not mind saying, of course. It's a good list of people.

I think it is quite sad that people are departing from the Buddha's words, especially in a country in which what is generally believed by Buddhists to be the Buddha's words is part of their Buddhist canon (the Pali texts). If ther

Anyone interested in Stoicism should have a read about Buddhism, especially the Theravada branch. There are quite interesting parallels to be drawn.

Precisely, but my point is that it would be good for any capitalist to consider as many objects as property as possible, for the purpose of claiming rights on that property. The fact that it's not actually property (which I agree with)

by ue_ 10y ago
What rubbish. Capitalism requires one (or a government) to enforce property rights. The more one can declare as valid property (e.g IP) the better it is for the holder of that property. These motivations for more property do not simply evap

Racism is one factor which is impacting my decision making with regard to teaching English in Japan. I have never experienced racism (other than comments when I was younger), so I don't know if I could deal with what I have anecdotally

The irony is that we don't know, other than anecdotally or non-official sources, how racially/ethically homogeneous Japan is, unless I am mistaken. Is it not true that non-citizens do not have entries in the koseki system? I may b

If my memory is correct, the Japanese census does not collect data on ethnicity/race at all.

It's a real shame that it can't handle X11 forwarding, which is pretty much all I use ssh for nowadays.
