Rights are not created by laws. They are given to men by God. Atheist like to use the term human rights. But the idea is the same. The Bill Of Rights limits goverment to protect rights. These bills were designed to protect individuals from the "common will of the people." Majorities often suppress minorities. Majorities don't need the bill or rights.
Coporations don't exist by goverement fiat.(at least not most of them. Post Office could be an exception)
They are just companies that the goverment wants to regulate. I have family that owns an LLC (limited liabilty corporation). it is not a fiction. It is a small buisness run by three people. It has a building, assets, and customers. Not imaginary at all. It is not a game.
Not True. The supreme court ruled free speach covers lies. See "United States v. Alvarez" where the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 was declared illegal. There are already laws on the books about fraud. They require more than dishonesty. Search results are not advertisments. Not publishing a result is not dishonest anyways.
corporations are groups of people working together for a common goal. Forming groups is a right under the 1st Amendment.
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble
The above right would be meaningless if the goverment could regulate the speach of groups. It is also impossible to regulate the speach of a group without regulating the speach of individuals. Corporations don't go to prison for violating censorship laws. The members of the group, employees, owners, and members go to jail. They are the ones who have their assets taken. Censorship of corporations is censorship of individuals.
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States
The US Constitution requlates state goverement since the passage of the 14th Amendment. A New York free speach law can not limit the speach of the owners and employees of Baidu. They are allowed to have bias.
Valve makes alot money off the "gacha" style free to play mechanic. Where you spend money to get a random item. They also have a storefront "Steam" that want to protect. There is a difference in buying a 3rd party game where Steam gets a cut and licening tech out to competing stores.
your missing a param in the invest() method.
while (!low_confidence()) { invest("Social network stuff"); }
vs
while (low_confidence()) { invest("other stuff"); }
lol, It was purchased because Zuckerberg thought it was neat and he doesn't answer to anyone. The strategy comes later when his employees have to figure out what to do with it.
Sure but what Oculus was promising was always a corporate company that builds VR gear. A company that would sell things for profit. They were not promising open hardware, open source, private ownership, made in the USA, or free stuff. Most people assumed it would be purchased by Id Software when they heard Carmack was involved. Being purchased by big money is delivering on their promise.
I guess it depends on the reward.
I checked and about 2000 people chose a coffee cup reward. They spent $10 to $75 on something that wasn't a Dev Kit. I suppose they might feel a little betrayed if they hate Facebook.
I view it as Facebook not having low confidence in their core product. Their is no future with Facebook marketing so they investing outside the core product.
People who did the Kickstarter got their rewards. They got their dev kits. The kits worked. They arrived a little late. That is all that was ever promised. If I purchase something off EBay I don't get upset if the seller gets purchased by Facebook. Oculus isn't even a service. Its not like Facebook is buying users like they when they purchased Instagram.
It could be coded into the software that does the transaction. Your exchange could just email you a tax form in Jan the same way your bank or stock exchange does.
The ruling is more about what forms you need to fill out when your report your taxes. There are separate formulas for currency than for property. Bitcoins don't have some of the complexity that foriegn currencies do.(exchange rates, trade agreements) So the property forms are less work for the IRS.
Such an arrangement would benifit content consumers over content creators. It would allow nations and ISP's that don't produce content to tax those that produce content. There are whole countries that want to use the peering setup as you described to fund their infrastructure. They want American companies to pay the whole bill.
No it is like phone calls. The person who initiates the call pays. They pay because they are the one who is creating congestion. Netflix is not generating any traffic. AT&T customers generate the traffic when they open thier browsers and start downloading movies. It is not Netflix desision that AT&T charges all its customers the same thing. Netflix should not be punished because AT&T promises high speed connections with unlimited access. That is AT&T's fault.
So off the bat the sony vr headset is lowered spec than the oculus dev kits. 90 degrees versus 110 degrees field of view. They are running at 1080p but so does some oculus prototypes. I would not be surprised if they were slower than the oculus as well. So it comes down to price and software. Also very interested in the demo tommorow. Hopefully someone with a dev kit can try one tell us how they compare.

I think many people are going to miss the sarcasm in the summary.
CCP Games is making Valkyrie for the Sony VR machine as well.

Does anyone else hate the conditional operator. It replaces
if (a > b) {
max = a;
}
else {
max = b;
}
with
max = (a > b) ? a : b;
ohh I see the double negative. It was a grammer post. I don't read my post some times.

I guess I was not clear. I think they have low confidence in facebook ads. So they are investing in other stuff. Like VR.

...sort of works for Facebook now? Bet he didn't see that coming.
I wonder how much he made off the deal. I wonder how much ZeniMax Media Inc could of made if their heads were not up their asses.
I view it as Facebook not having low confidence in their core product. Their is no future with Facebook marketing so they investing outside the core product.
some kind of protection against this kinda thing.

Facebook purchased Instagram for 1B, Oculus for 2B, and WhatsApp for 19B. Mystery to me where those numbers come from.
worse: Comcast
better: Samsung, other lcd vendors, going public as its own stock
same: Apple, Sony, Valve, Microsoft, Disney
defaulting on the gold dollar has marked the beginning of the end of USA economy
You saying there has been no economic growth in the US sense the depression? No jobs created in that period. No increase in property and assets?
