This company is also beholden to its customers, they have to compete with other companies and individuals and can only profit if they are really good at what they do. If it is extremely profitable many others will jump on the opportunity, thus lowering prices. What incentive would a government granted monopoly have to improve?

And no, a government is almost never beholden to it’s people. It automatically has power, especially communist ones. The “democratic” one also only have to convince a few groups to agree on a few topics to get full controll.

Yeah, and the irony of supporting a monopoly (government) owning all the homes without incentive to improve, compared to this company that is taking a lot of risk and offering a service in the freeish market.

They are a communist subreddit so I’d probably get banned from saying this there: In communism the one organization will own all homes, not just 30k of them. So if 30k is bad, how is owning everything better? This post is actually contradicting all they believe in.

Agreed, they probably laugh at us from time to time and rightfully so.

I am not fine with it, don’t twist my words. I would say authoritarians are actually fine with it occasionally, as they support a system where that is easier to be done, and then get to hide behind their authoritarian when shit hits the fan.

For all I know Bin Laden was also elected “fair and free”. The problem is the power is not in the people but a select few, even in “democratic” America.

The toddler comparison does not make a lot of sense. Most Russians and Americans are just as able bodied as Putin or Biden, they ain't tiny powerless humans. They are choosing and supporting authoritarianism.

Putin represents the Russian people just like Biden the Americans. How he got there is irrelevant, he represents and owns Russia/Russians, and they are fine with it. They chose authoritarianism and got a questionable tyrant. Now they gotta deal with it.

This assumes money is the only factor and motivation.

And the hurdles it creates. The government may spend $100k on a bureaucrat that causes individuals and companies to spend millions to overcome.

Just twice as likely? I would have guessed much worse.

You can still block googles ip’s manually

How did you get it. Was it a major accident?

It says they will use firewall, so i would assume blocking the default port and maybe known trackers.

It would take a lot of mass taking for most stars i would think.

Do we even have an efficient way to extract carbon using electricity?

How can you turn off a star? Or just throw in in a black hole?

Correct. And there is a reason, at 10% interest rate, the federal government is bankrupt.

Will try this for sure

How do you get these tiny android app sizes. Even the most basic android app from Android studio is like 500kB

Not for long though

Switzerland for example is hybrid regime, since people there have ways to veto actions and laws by tyrants. Still not a democracy but a step in the right direction. I am sure no country has democracy where everyone has a say in actions and laws, rather than a tiny tiny minority (no matter if they were born into it, appointed or “elected”)

America is not a democracy in the sense of the word (people rule). Unless you only count the about a thousand of actual Americas rulers as people (some judges, some senators, president and a few others). Thats about 0.0003% of the people, far from democracy I would say.

Internal matters are just that, internal matters. You cannot enforce information transfer controls (without prior agreement with that person) because you allegedly paid someone to produce data, and want to make money off of it.

They never had it, thus does not meet the definition of theft.

I don’t think this extension receives additional data that the publisher did not willingly provide. Besides I am pretty sure many others would be willing to offer said resources for free (if it wasn't for “good” guys with assault rifles showing up to enforce information and knowledge transfer controlls)

What did the publisher lose that he had before?

Wrong.

You found something that did not go up?

1. Print money 2. Use said money to bid oil prices up

Lets not forget about the fed that is printing trillions that are being used to bid up oil prices. It is easy to blame saudis here but in this case the fed is doing more damage.
