Why should every one be taxed at the same rate ? What's magical about a linear formula ?
If anything, in a free market, goods are payed at a flat price. Businesses don't do price discrimination against rich and poor because of competition and that's a good thing. A constant tax would be much fairer.
However, since government "services" are not freely bought but imposed, I believe the only fair tax is the one that is both constant, AND has fixed rate.
France has a load of crappy problems, the influence of islam is far, far down the list. The country actually has a strong belief in statism... it's a whole religion, with its dogmas, its heretics, etc. Islam is merely a puppet brandished - right and left - in France so that people turn back to "the one, true religion, that of the State"
Actually, as is pointed out, the law was drafted by the socialists. The left has the worst possible track record when it comes to spying on people (nazis, communists, etc). Yes, the neocons are doing it as well, but that's a rather recent phenomenon, and if you ask me, they're left-wing.
Is it in sample performance ( using the training set ) or out of sample performance ( using unseen images ) ? How were the picture selected ? Pick the geographical center of the US east coast each time and you should get a decent result for example⦠TFA says it's 20 times better by random, but do they mean purely random (New York and the middle of the Pacific equally weighted) or random based on the distribution of the geographical locations of the set ?
What is the distribution of the results ? It is sometime very accurate, sometime not at all ? Does it generally gets the right continent or does the performance merely reflects easy hits (oh, the Statue of Liberty, oh the Eiffel Tower, etc)
Read the paper, the article is completely uninformative.
Extortion works using the threat of committing a crime. "Give me your money or I'll kill you", etc. If the contract allows, there's nothing criminal in stopping to hire someone.
Unpaid overtime isn't theft. If you don't like unpaid overtime, leave your job. If it means you will starve to death, SOL. You don't have a *right* to be employed by the guy not paying overtime... that would make him your slave. He's not.
Free software has nothing to do with communism. Communism is generally defined as a society where property rights cannot legitimately be enforced, i.e. you can't oppose theft.
Those whose economic liberty is undermined by parties greatly more powerful than themselves. Your economic liberty can only be undermined by coercion, otherwise you're not talking about liberty.
Capitalism is fine if you assume that all parties in the game start off on equal footing. I am not making that assumption at all.
There's not a single argument in your domain. Show me where and how the theft occurs.
Pure free-market economics assume that the players are making rational informed decisions. In software acquisition, that assumption fails often No they don't. Next question please...
It sounds like a way for the wealthy to go out and do what they want without having to bother with laws they don't like. No, it sounds like a frontier. The wealthy did not go to the frontier, wealth was made ON the frontier.
You don't need excuses to raise prices. Prices are already as high as they can be to maximize profits. You have a naive vision of producers as price setters merely constrained by public opinion.
Who modded this as troll ? You may disagree but it's not trolling. I for one agree.
In the beginning of the 20th century, capitalism was exploiting "the worker"... but then it turned out to be wrong as the workers in capitalist country became wealthier and wealthier, after WWII, the mantra changed and capitalist countries where exploiting "3rd world countries". Then globalization kicked in and the 3rd world countries got wealthier.
No humans left to denounce exploitation? No problem! Capitalism now exploits "the environment".
Regardless of the actual facts of global warming, the real fuss is rooted in anti-capitalism, not genuine scientific concern.

Isn't this one of the negative consequences of net neutrality ?

Smoking a joint is not a crime, regardless of what the organization known as the US government claims.

Property cannot be theft. Theft is defined relative to property. Your claim is circular.
It does somehow. The GPL for example relies on copyrights which are not capitalist in nature.
Deprived implies that they should somehow own it, yet be prevented access to it. How would they come to own it in the first place?
Those profits are fictious, they were not earned by the RIAA, they do not belong to the RIAA.

How exactly is capitalism theft ? Theft implies coercion. Who is being coerced and deprived of his property ?
Someone who relies on a windows plugin probably. I bet the web site is really an ActiveX application.
Anyone can access real time quotes. Call me when Google offers accurate intraday historical data. Now *that* would be huge.
There is no such thing as public property, the government doesn't own anything, it merely usurp some property by occupying it.
ISP routers are private property.
Look no further. Hey, a pile o'money, how come it's not mine.
Ah, an useful idiot to illustrate my comment, how perfect.
