A love of law and order is not exactly the same thing as overbearing totalitarianism. I wouldn't be surprised if America had a higher prison population than Nazi Germany.
Yes, Germany had no place for people not working towards the betterment of society. But that does not say anything about how much freedom was available to the non-criminal Volk.
This is what happens when you create a two party system. Dianne Feinstein seems to have quite a bit of support. Anyone who wanted to win in California would declare as Republican. Why do you think that the Democrat Trump ran as a Republican candidate? Because he would have lost the DNC.
You might be overstating the collectivism here. I know they are the only government I have ever heard of which reduced regulations on firearm ownership. Which does not seem to play into overbearing totalitarian government.
And Hitler and the party hated things like cigarettes, and yet allowed people to choose to smoke if they wanted to.
What is that even supposed to mean? Do you mean that Nazi germany was controlled by corporations? Which ones? Or were they fascist towards corporations? Do you mean like they exerted totalitarian control over the market?
Economically they were squarely in the center. They believed in the efficiency of free markets, yet also believed that it was possible to do bad in such a space and that it was the duty of the state to fetter the market if it was not working in best interests of the people.
Mickey Mouse is a bad example for this. He is currently not only Disney's mascot, but their logo. If Mickey Mouse was in the public domain than 99.99999999% of all work done with him after that point would be shady companies trying to sell products that look like they are official Disney merchandise. Honestly, the world is probably a better place without hundreds of thousands of knockoff theme parks, movies, t shirts, and plushies designed to trick consumers.
In practice all of these things would probably remain illegal based on trademark violations, and if not that fraud, but with it theoretically being possible to create works featuring Mickey Mouse legally it makes it a huge uphill battle for justice to prevail in these cases.
Perhaps it makes sense to take away their control over his early content. My all means, make every film/tv show produced over 80 years ago free and legal to copy.
And how do you propose to solve it? Trials cost millions because we want them to be accurate. We could presumably hires a bunch of high school dropouts and illegals to run trials for you for cents on the dollars, but then are they going to be as accurate as just having police threaten criminals into confessions?
These are charges. He committed crimes, maliciously, with these stolen credentials. Presumably 14 of them. Wait for the sentencing to see if they go to far.
The way I understand, it was no secret that Enron's accounting practices were bullshit. They were successful because when investors asked questions about how much money they were actually making they got derided and insulted until they shut up.
Solar panels are cheap, but the infrastructure backend that can take the power from solar panels and turn that into the ability to watch tv, have lighting, and maybe even use an oven is far from it. You either need a power grid designed around millions of homes producing solar power or expert home owners and a basement full of super expensive controllers and battery banks with minimal lifespans.
Exactly, but don't we have a countable number of rotations, therefore necessitating a countable solution?
But I am starting to see why this problem is so hard. If i understand it correctly, dots can be any distance apart, it is just that the ones equal distance apart have lines.
So the solution is probably not a pretty looking pattern, where all neighbor dots are equal distance but instead a bloody mess of thousands of patterns overlapping each other and all you can see is chaos.
I don't know. In this case 3D is infinite because countries can be any shape (so you can have an infinite number of countries next any one country). In the problem suggested, all lines are of equal length, so the countries all have to be the same size. This to me seems like it would make the solution be a fairly reasonable number. In 2d their is clearly going to be a fairly low number of max connections to a single dot if you also want those dots connected in a circle pattern. And while 3D turns that circle into sphere, exponentially upping the number, it is probably not even in the hundreds yet.
So basically the problem seems to come to what is the most "connection dense setup". How many connections can you give every dot. But then that is not necessarily the entire solution, as odd vs even can have an effect as a triangle with an odd number of dots in a circular connection needs more colors than a square. I can see why they limit this to 2d planes, as the answer will clearly go up with every dimension added. 1D is simple, the answer is always 2 (for dots>1). Honestly, it sounds like it should be easy to solve.
Distances will not matter, it does not matter how dence you pack the dots it is all relative. so we are only talking about shapes and angles.
Yes, but like the article points out value matters. Microsoft has a long history proving that the market value of these bits are zero. yes, absolutely, he stole, but he stole a something we know is worth $0 dollars.
From there, do you not have to either pursue a fraud charge, or admit that the guy was just providing a service?
Possibly. But we should be able to agree that minimal regulation in this instance is still the most anything has ever been and likely ever will be regulated. The shear volume of regulation, of paperwork, of tests, of work to be done for a single drug could bury a medium sized town.
As someone who lives in a country with socialized healthcare, I have always found it ironic how everyone makes fun of America until they or their loved ones gets cancer. And then they are all in a rush to find some way to get themselves or their relative to the US to get the best chance for recovery, no matter the expense.
Socialized medicine does moderately well at setting a few sutures on a scratch. But it seems for life threatening illnesses, there is only one country everyone turns to.
Slashdot Mirror
OK, which ones? IBM? Coca Cola? Volkswagen?
Give a specific example of a corporation in Nazi Germany that had control over over the populous, that shared power with Hitler.

through taxes and regulation
What? No, in real socialism the government owns all property, so it would be pretty silly to tax or regulate themselves....

Does not this case's very existence prove that he is using it as a private, invite only, forum.
And why do you believe that the taxpayers should subsidise merchandise delivery?

OK, so stop for adults but not for dogs, children, or midgets.
I think that is just because it is video. Cameras are not great at non-optimal lighting
The way I understand, it was no secret that Enron's accounting practices were bullshit. They were successful because when investors asked questions about how much money they were actually making they got derided and insulted until they shut up.
They only care about profit and loss statements
Well to be fair, the last time the ignored profit and loss statements we had Enron. And we all know how that turned out.

Pick one.
