I also don't understand this. Where did the idea that UBI means 'Communism' come from? I am myself a Communist; the Communists and anarchists of today and since the 19th century would be thoroughly ashamed to see that a conce

On the other hand, Canada does seem to make some odd laws or judgements, such as the supreme court (or a similarly high court) judge ruling that for the purpose of child pornography laws, "person" includes a completely fictitiou

Unfortunately though, tribal or not, there isn't much unity; people have fundamentally different ideas of how the world works. On the left we see our society as a class society, others see it as merely a society of free association. It

>these rights can also be made unalienable by a firm societal devotion to humanism This seems fair enough, I can understand this, but only from the point of view that if you want rights at all then you need to start somewhere, and there

I was about to mention this, but I thought it seemed too obvious. Nobody wants to come out and say that they are in favour of such material, especially to decriminalise it, except maybe a fringe party such as the Pirate Party. I have heard

Thank you for your clarification as to the law on key disclosure. I was sloppy when I said "UK" and I did not exclude Scotland. NI also has a separate law of their own for this, too. > I'd suggest it could be argued lots o

GNU has made an OS, and it is frequently used in conjunction with Linux. HURD on the other hand according to Stallman is of lower priority because there is already a major copyleft kernel and so the pressure of necessity is much lower, lead

I wouldn't say most , but a good proportion is, even possession of it. The catch is that the character has to give the "predominant impression" of being a child, so they can have non-child like features (such as slightly lar

Why do you think this social contract persists to this day, or if it ever did? Locke and Rousseau were theorisers. Do you really think governments, least of all the UK government, is founded on the ideas of life, liberty and pursuit of happ

As an anecdote related to this, there is a law that came into force in the UK in 2009 which made illegal drawings showing fictional characters who appear to be under 18 engaging in sex, or in the presence of sex. A similar law came into for

I apologise, I did not mean to say that it hasn't happened at all, rather, it has not happened on the scale that would be required for the abolition of private property. I am curious, what kind of business was it? I can't really d

> Ah, the no-true-socialist fallacy. No. In order for this to be a fallacy, it actually has to be fallacious. Many years I have been on Slashdot, Reddit and HN and seen this bandied about. I do not believe it is a fair assessment. One of

Isn't that monopolistic behaviour? I suspect that it might violate some laws, though I don't know anything in particular. On the other hand, why couldn't DDG just do what Google does and say "robots.txt prevents us from

Although I agree with you in principle, I think your analogy is flawed. The nature of a web request is that you're asking in the first place, and the serve has to serve you. If you're taking a photo, you're not asking anyth

I wonder if the idea works now, too. Are the common perceptions of Japanese or Germans as particularly hard or intelligent workers false? Just as the Germans were thought of as indolent years ago, they are thought of as laborious today. I&#

I don't mean to detract from Ivy, but... As an interesting aside, the fact that you can organise your pages in a hierarchy reminds me of cat-v's "werc" website framework[0]. It's not a static site generator, but it

How can two things not correlate with each other, but both correlate with a third thing? This seems like saying x=5, y=3, and that there's some variable z which x and y are both equal to?

A question is if we want a meritocracy at all, and whether such a model would be suitable for everyone, and further how merit is even judged; the problem isn't as you've mentioned "weirdness", it's that people can b

Interesting, I have been using BTC-E for a while, I had no idea this sort of thing happened. Was it knowingly assisted by someone at BTC-E, or did BTC-E just act as a dumb machine? BTC-E was one of the eastiest ways for me to change BTC and

For those more inexperienced, it can really hurt after a while to sit like that, and even for those experienced it's probably not recommended to stay in such a position for a long time. I think all of these solutions miss one of the pr
