    While it's cool to shit on GoDaddy here, it is not only that company that can fall to this type of an attack. They have to implement better security features themselves rather than just trying to sell their own version of 'security' to their customers (extra $$$ for preventing your name and email and whatever else, possibly address from being queried by whois).

    I think at the very bare minimum they can implement some sort of a secure word / pin / voice password and maybe a call back to a phone number as a secondary measure.

    I see nothing "socialistic" about a government imposing rules and regulations on businesses.

    - do you understand what it means, when the mob (government collective) comes to tell you (private property owner) what you cannot do and how much ransom you have to pay not to be shut down and thrown into a pri... re-education camp?

    It means that some collective is preventing you from running your own business or your own life as you see fit and as the market forces allow. That is socialism or fascism, basically a collectivist system.

    Free markets have been regulated by government since the dawn of civilization.

    - that is the problem.

    So selfish, not to want the mob to use its overwhelming numbers to attack a minority of people to steal from them because they have something that the mob wants.

    I am nowhere near 99.9% or whatever, I oppose all theft out of general principle, that principle being: virtue is non initiation of force.

    The socialist mob (jealous thieves) gives the fascist government the power to initiate force against a tiny minority of people who have something that the mob wants. Then the mob is surprised when that tiny minority of people does whatever it can to attempt and fight against this violence and against this theft, which is the most unjust thing that common people except on nearly universal basis and even have the gall to call it 'justice'.

    First I will give you the economic argument: consumption does not drive the economy, production does. You cannot consume what doesn't exist, which is why you are not flying a space ship yourself to a Jupiter holiday today. Production (creation of stuff) is the economic driver, consumption is the trivial act of economic destruction (even if that destruction is required to keep somebody alive, it is still destruction).

    Second I will give you the moral argument (which, as far as I am concerned is the real argument): it is morally indefensible to do what the governments and the mob are doing, stealing from people in the first place and then stealing disproportionately more from some than from others.

    All income and wealth related taxes are theft and are immoral acts of violence propagated by the mob with the use of a violent government system. You cannot have a just system as long as the system is immoral and it is immoral to steal from some to provide others with the incentive to gang up against the minority that is being stolen from in order to increase the theft.

  8. projecting UV images from below liquid resin? on New 3D Printing Process Claimed To Be 25X Faster Than Current Technology · · Score: 0

    So I wonder how this UV projector doesn't cause solids to form inside the vat if in fact this projector can cause plastic to solidify as it is being removed from the vat with liquid resin. First I thought maybe that would work by combining UV, resin and basically air, but then how does it work for solidifying the resin within somewhat thicker parts of the model, not every part of a model is spider web thin. Looks like it's both plausible and magic at the same time, because as the UV passes through the vat I somehow expect it to turn all of the resin it passes through into a solid mass. Oh well, maybe that's the secret sauce that makes thing thing. Maybe there are separate wavelengths that get combined together just near the surface of the resin and that's where it gets solid?

    I hope you don't really believe that. All the evidence says otherwise.

    - it is not a matter of belief, it's a matter of fact. It is government laws that discriminate and hurt people with discrimination. Slavery was a government law, so was the law that chemically castrated Alan Turing, so was any law that forbade interracial marriages, so is any law that says anything at all about homosexuals or straight people, races or genders, or any kind of a 'minority' related law, anything at all that divides people into groups and categories is government discrimination.

    Businesses mostly keep away from discrimination if government law does not make it prohibitively expensive not to discriminate. I know I would not hire any type of a government protected group specifically because laws make it extremely expensive to hire and fire them, not because of any personal feelings on any of those subjects. I care about making money more than I care what somebody does on their free time with their penises, vaginas, what skin colour they are, whatever. The point is that any government law that makes it expensive to fire somebody makes it nearly infinitely expensive to hire any such people.

    As to 'bonded' whatever, yeah, I don't care what government program there is, it's all a trap anyway. There shouldn't be any government oppression where it concerns our private property and private deals.

    It is our right (right = protection against government oppression) to discriminate against any individual in our everyday lives for any reason whatsoever. Governments destroy our rights by punishing individuals or businesses for any type of discrimination while governments are most likely to discriminate themselves, not private businesses and government discrimination is what is most damaging, not individual or business discrimination. Businesses and individuals discriminate very little due to free market not approving of it. But we must maintain our rights and be free people and keep our right to privately own and operate property without governments oppressing us.

    As to criminal background checks themselves, as long as a business can be sued in court for money by anybody claiming that business caused them damage by hiring an ex con and the client somehow lost something and now wants retribution and government allows him to sue because business maybe hired an ex fellon, as long as that is the case (and it is happening all the time), you bet businesses will not hire ex cons.

Consider that the way that Putin was able to radicalise some segments of the Russian population and have his covert war in Ukraine by pushing propaganda that Ukrainian is ran by 'fascists' and 'nazis', and they have achieved this by equating the Ukrainian nationalists, who use Bandera symbolism to fascism. Of-course Bandera was a nationalist who was trying to build a movement to get both, the Soviet and the Nazis out of Ukraine and he did not mind using connections with the Nazis to achieve his goals, however he was far from being a fascist, he personally spent time in a Nazi concentration camp after once it became known he was building an attempt of overthrowing the Nazis in Ukraine.
