tsmffh··on Moving Forward on Basic Income
This is what actually happens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irwin_Schiff
tsmffh··on Moving Forward on Basic Income
How is tax policy enforced? (Hint: force, not peace)
tsmffh··on Drug Prices Too High? Sometimes, They’re Not Costly Enough
If you truly believe that -- move to Venezuela.
tsmffh··on How Much Housing Will Be Built?
Government price controls do not fundamentally change the cost only the price. If the government is so efficient and can, somehow, make housing cheaper than it would be in a free market why shouldn't they also take control of the food supply? Computers? Software? All industry?
tsmffh··on Moving Forward on Basic Income
That's still immoral.

If you're worried about the public good, there are nonviolent and consensual means of cooperation that I believe would make all of us far more prosperous than today.

tsmffh··on Facebook and Twitter pledge to remove hate speech within 24 hours
Let alone a 'science'.
tsmffh··on Moving Forward on Basic Income
Anyone who down votes, happy to be proved wrong. Very simple test: don't pay and see what happens.
tsmffh··on Governments Turn to Commercial Spyware to Intimidate Dissidents
Essentially not thinking beyond stage one. (The self destruction of a welfare state and open borders, to use the immigration example)
tsmffh··on Does the whole Thiel vs. Gawker thing trouble you?
If you are truly worried about power, look no further than the government. The power to use force is actual power.
tsmffh··on Ask HN: What do you think about the current education system?
You do not attract high quality staff by offering $0 salary. Nor do you get high quality staff when they cannot be fired(as is so common today).
tsmffh··on Boys who live with books ‘earn more as adults’
> (which isn't even a quality commanded to a significant degree by genetics)

Evidence?

tsmffh··on Does the whole Thiel vs. Gawker thing trouble you?
Seems like your problem is with the legal system, not Thiel. Which is completely fair. "Don't hate the player, hate the game."
tsmffh··on Does the whole Thiel vs. Gawker thing trouble you?
> someone secretly using money to manipulate a case in which he is not a direct participant.

What manipulation was there?

3rd parties funding lawsuits is not a new, it's been happening for centuries.

tsmffh··on Does the whole Thiel vs. Gawker thing trouble you?
The 0.1% can fund a lawsuit because you published a sex tape.

>We're now officially owned by the 300!

That's a steep slope.
