The problem, with unions, is that once you gave them the moon, they'll start asking for the solar system, or a their leader will start asking for a backshish keeping the mob under control. All in all, once a sheep, always a sheep.
Please, do you even know what you are talking about ? Tech worker are parsec away from "peons working for pennies", though, I admit $100k is a penny to $10M+ CEO salaries. Though, by the same standard, I bet you every temp unskilled worker in the US would *love* to work for a penny...
Of course not, but he is using the term "employee" as in "lower in the food chain". Target employee are not H-1B workers, which he is throwing stone at to be the cause of his "low" income. He obviously has never been working for a temp agency hourly paid $8 minus "fee"...
it would include people who would make these law, so it will never happen. Let's face it, a sheep will always complain about the wolves, but it will always remain a sheep...
What make you think it's not the case ? After the poaching is done, it's always easy to say that "the underling was not away of the agreement", fire the underling, and go back to good old business.
How is that not capitalism ? Capitalism is free market, all the player are free to interact as they please, might it be by competing or by cooperating. By your same logic, the whole open-source community should be forbidden by law to cooperate.
Are we talking about retail value, or production value ?
If Microsoft donates for 10 millions worth of Windows license, it will NOT cost them 10 millions. All that revenue would not have been generated at the first place.
But Average Joe, 99% of time, does not need a high-end piece of equipment. Last time I used a multimeter, it was to check my car battery voltage after long term storage, and to check if a signal was properly connected. Just like with power tool. I got a 1 3/4 HP router which I will probably used at full capacity once in the next 10 years.
Why should anyone invest in open-source if someone else can just clone it and sell it cheaper ? The answer less a physical one than a perceived one. When people buy Channel 5 perfume, or a Dior bag, they do not buy a perfume or a bag, they buy a marketing image. I knew someone who tried to sell Channel 5 copy, the whole scheme ended up in an utter failure, as people would prefer to buy the original image rather than the copy.
All in all, I strongly believe that the copy market is not not detrimental to the copied brand. The targeted market have very few overlap, and the show-off implied by the piracy might actually induce more sell for the original product. Same goes with music or movie. I can do without it, but piracy made me learn about a lot of artist I else would not have cared about.
Having the Freedom to read "Mein Kampf" as important as having the Freedom to read "Das Capital". It helps understand the mindset of the authors, and their thought process. This Right is forbidden in Germany. Beside that, the best representation you can give to extremist is to make them look like martyr.
As much as you need if you do not want to start having to put a connector for power, another for data, and yet another for whatever else you want to do.
Air Transat Flight 236 flew 23 minutes on 1 engine, then flew another 120 km from 33000 feet to the ground of a military air base, at a decent rate of 2000 feet per minutes. The total flight time after engine @2 stopped was 32 minutes.
The problem is that the enormous salaries you are speaking about are being paid by private companies whose strategy is to maximize their own profit by paying a select few huge amount of money. NASA is publicly funded by nobody more than a bunch of elected official who merely need to be convinced to fund the project. ROI for the public is literally lights years away And let's be honest, who the @#$% gives a damn on playing with a robot on Mars when we keep being as savage as human can be, beside the guy having fun controlling it... on taxpayer money ?

Just calling traders "Wall Street Statistics Manipulator" discredit your whole comment...
The system you describe is closer to mercantilism than it is to capitalism. In capitalism, whatever is beneficial to me is good.
The problem, with unions, is that once you gave them the moon, they'll start asking for the solar system, or a their leader will start asking for a backshish keeping the mob under control. All in all, once a sheep, always a sheep.
To some extend, it might be argued that Bush was democratically elected, twice. Who's the sucker now ?

When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.

It does not applies to engineers, only to manager and execs. Please read the fact before spreading FUD.

Paris wasn't built for 12 millions inhabitants...

Let's do that, it will be fun to see those nukes flying. I'll keep the score from my homestead.
