Henry Ford was noted for paying more than his competitors. This allowed him to have his pick from the labor pool and reduce absenteeism. An actual capitalist is willing to pay what something is worth.
Gravity Payments is a privately held company. The majority owner is doing what he wishes with his property. If he was being miserly with his property many would stand up for his property rights. (His brother is the only one that might theoretically dispute his use since he is the minority owner, but that is not a given depending on how they agree to the split of ownership.)
People claim to left because the longest-serving people got little increase. But those people were making the same or less just before. If what the are being paid now is not what they are worth, why was it what they were worth before?
These anti-capitalists are cutting off their own noses to spite someone else's face.
“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.” -David X Machina
Robert P. Colwell _The Pentium Chronicles_, p159-160: "For most of the Pentium design project, the floating point divider was exactly the same as the 486's. But late in the Pentium project, upper management requested that the entire project search for ways to make the die smaller....the engineers working on the floating point divider did... an idea to save some space in a lookup table and one of them performed an analytical proof... That proof turned out to be flawed, but the insidious side effect of having performed a "proof" was that it misled the Pentium validation team into thinking there was no real threat of bugs... (This was not surprising, because validation in 1993 did not generally have to check formal proofs.)
"Here's the punch line: The smaller FP divider unit did not make the Pentium chip any smaller....
"So FDIV was not just a design error. It was not just a design error plus a broken formal proof. It was not even just a design error plus a bad proof plus a validation oversight. It was, first and foremost, a conceptual error at the project management error."
Clearly, it is easier to remember that there is an 8 hour difference in wall clock time for the same events between LA and London than it is to remember that there is an 8 hour difference in events for the same wall clock time between LA and London.
As if there wouldn't otherwise be people screaming about how Buzz Aldrin did not account for how he spent out tax money and is therefore a theif.
As if private corporations do not require expense reports. (My favorite case of this was returning from business trips to South East Asia. I would land in Hong Kong about 10am, have some lunch, leave on a 2pm flight, land at LAX at 10 am, have some lunch, leave on a 2pm flight. My expense report would make people freak out because I listed 2 lunches for the same calendar day. It took a couple of tries before someone told me to enter one as breakfast.)
Your suggestion would be smart only to someone actually incentivized to end ISIS.
If ISIS went out of business, intelligence agencies would no longer be able to justify their expenditures in combating ISIS and would have to put in some actual work to find a replacement target.
There are two kinds of porn sites. One kind is porn sites run as law-abiding legitimate businesses. They are already incentivized to keep kids out because kids don't make any money.
The other kind is fronts for some kind of fraud, whether it be money laundering or direct theft or something else. They don't care about this threat since they are already breaking more stringent laws.
Which is fine, since the military value of anything built on the island, and the island itself, is irrelevant.
The only value is to make an increasingly plausible territorial claim over the surrounding ocean, which includes everything on, in, and under the water: The fishing, the drilling, the shipping.
We should stop giving the anti-capitalists even this much daylight. An unregulated market *cannot* be a free market, and anyone trying to tell us different has given themselves away as an attempted thief.
There are reasonable arguments about particular regulations, but no one has ever shown a rational path to satisfying the conditions of a free market with no regulatory framework to maintain those conditions.
Okay, so the US is still larger than a corporation.
However, the largest corporate revenue (Walmart, $468 billion/year) would come in at #12 among nations, between Australia ($498 billion/year) and India($440 billion/year).

"But when there are diagrams/maps in a book, the ebooks fail miserably."
Can't zoom paper.
"When I want to read in the tub, ebooks fail."
No water proofing solution for paper also allows turning the page without opening.
"When I want something that can fit in my pants pocket, ebooks fail - but paperbacks deliver."
The same content as an ebook can be provided in an arbitrarily small format.
"When I want to borrow/lend a book, ebooks make it too much trouble, but a paperback is easy."
Actual problem for ebooks. 1 out of 5.
"When I want to throw a book in a backpack, paperback wins."
Again, an ebook can be provided in an arbitrarily small format and with arbitrary ruggedness.
So of your 5 failings of ebooks, 4 are actually advantages of ebooks.
If the trades are the fastest thing on the network, then they can't be based on any information about the market except other trades.
Your forgot the part where sometimes it *does* claim to be a taxi service, when it wants to gain a benefit that is given to taxis.
What is the value of the free time you spent saving $180?
If it's even a hour I would be losing money.

Most RC boats don't fly.

Formal proofs were used to justify the change in the floating point unit that led to the Pentium FDIV bug.

Ever since marca came up with that inline image shit everything has been downhill.
"marca digs goto"; shoulda known how this would turn out...
"There will always be a boogeyman"
Which I already mentioned. The point is that it takes time and effort to switch boogeymen which you could be devoting to hookers and blow.
"If the intelligence agencies were smart"
Your suggestion would be smart only to someone actually incentivized to end ISIS.
If ISIS went out of business, intelligence agencies would no longer be able to justify their expenditures in combating ISIS and would have to put in some actual work to find a replacement target.

When I was in college, we had a credit card for the fraternity dog. I assure you that the dog was not 18.
"what a daft idea this is, militarily."
Which is fine, since the military value of anything built on the island, and the island itself, is irrelevant.

"and love how Clarkson can get away with it"
For small values of getting away with it.
"any change is likely to just screw with muscle memory"
But it is already a change. I've been using computers long enough that I remember when it was a control key.
Mice from Apple don't have any buttons any more. However, Mac OS has accepted events for more that the left button for years.
Are you telling me you have noting assigned to super or hyper? Do you have *anything* in your modmap?
Kids these days!
No, revenue is how much money you bring in, no matter what kind of organization.
Expenses are how much money goes out.
The difference is called profit or loss for a company, or surplus or loss for a government, but it's still the difference.
So those figures I directly compared are directly comparable.
