This right here. This is the problem. Faulty logic like this is why we are stuck with underperforming schools.

No, no, no. If you want better schools then vote for school choice.

This weird drive to compel the speech of others is the thing that needs to be discredited.

Adding value propositions:

Find a cheaper way to do something Find a better way to market something

He wasn't wrong. End of the day, these kind of 'businesses' are merely exploiting a market inefficiency that won't last forever.

I suppose one man's regulatory capture is balanced by another man's monopolistic behemoth pushing out a competitor that doesn't have an alternate revenue stream.
This is the beauty of Eve. Suck rocks for ore while watching movies. Solo/team hunting pvp. Venture capitalist. Space Trucker. Honest Questor or other PVE solo/team player. Absolute troll who creates a roleplay justification to being the worst of bastards to newbies (but just inside the rules). So many playstyles.

I liked the stealth game as well. Work your way in a stealthy ship deep into Nullsec and do your thing - whether that thing is a bunny rabbit of a frigate designed to find and steal cookies and outwit the fox, or a stealth bomber that hides near the cookie jar to squash the unsuspecting. And both of these have to find a way to get back to civilization with the lootz.

Controlling thought by controlling speech is nothing new, and it IS a historically ignored problem
I have hired several WGU grads, and will again. You made a good choice.
I let it grow as interior fencing. It provides a nice environment for wild dewberries as well. And, of course, it is a never-ending fight to keep it from taking over the entire ranch. Love/hate.
Re:Apple’s Mistake (2009) on Monday February 21, 2022 @12:24PM (#30418236)
It only matters if Apple doesn't care how many people develop for their platform. You say 'People will do whatever...'. Sure, some will. Some won't. Some have to. Would you want your platform to be skewed in any way towards those that 'have to'?

The libertarian and bog standard answers agree in this case = you don't need to know how, we don't need you to be the decision maker.

Re:Intel apologises in China over Xinjiang supplier statement on Thursday December 23, 2021 @12:26PM (#29664023)
Why would I ever import from a supplier whose only positive is price, if I have to go to extra effort and expense - making them no longer competitive in any respect?
Re:Intel apologises in China over Xinjiang supplier statement on Thursday December 23, 2021 @11:44AM (#29663567)
Supply chains are already moving from China as fast as possible. Access to western markets will disappear. No amount of rhetoric will change this.

Everything you just said is meaningless evasion. Glow more.
Re:President Daniels responds to Chinese student's harassment on Friday December 17, 2021 @01:01PM (#29595776)
Also a good lesson for students: avoid trouble when it is easy to do so.
Re:President Daniels responds to Chinese student's harassment on Friday December 17, 2021 @12:59PM (#29595745)
No its literally about avoiding the morass of legal compliance as best you can, whenever and wherever.
Re:President Daniels responds to Chinese student's harassment on Friday December 17, 2021 @12:28PM (#29595291)
These are good points, but this isn't a case of discrimination.

What is it about Purdue that makes them unlikely to take this seriously?

Re:President Daniels responds to Chinese student's harassment on Friday December 17, 2021 @12:20PM (#29595179)
Two giant paragraphs that are largely irrelevant as well as inaccurate. Purdue has a framework to work with to adjudicate situations regarding the student experience. We will see how it plays out. Your emotional response to some trigger doesn't have anything to do with what is being discussed.
No. Someone needs to come up with a compelling reason to change our practices first.
Which is silly without evidence I agree. So, with no experience what value does she have? There's nothing in her academic work that shows some outstanding quality. Is she in ideologue? If so, of what type?
Maybe that's it, thanks
What no one seems to be asking is why was she nominated in the first place? The list of more qualified candidates numbers in the thousands.
These are great devices, especially the better models. Radio including weather band, flashlight and phone charger, plug in a lamp or water kettle. Must have on the gulf coast.
Re:We only talk about the third attack on Pearl Harbor on Tuesday December 07, 2021 @07:55PM (#29480162)
The Japanese military was not one that their contemporaries dismissed lightly. Casually assuming racism as well?
Re:We only talk about the third attack on Pearl Harbor on Tuesday December 07, 2021 @07:50PM (#29480133)
And yet the US went from not being on a war footing to rolling up the Japanese forces across a huge war zone in 4 years. And this was the side hustle to the main job. But go ahead and misunderstand what happened while throwing racist comments around.

Wow, still a thing?
Then we would be well advised to listen to the creators of such work, who largely tend to describe the type of system you want to do away with.
Abuse implies a right. What kind of right does anyone have to see IP become public domain? The only reason that it should sunset at all is to release society from the burden of enforcing old IP at some point.
Or 50-75% of the nonsense that comes out of the mouths of politicians. The solution to a knotted ball of string is not to yank the tag end you see, but it's so very tempting.
