So when you donate to a church/non-religious charity, do you apply for their aid to the needy when you're not needy, on the grounds that "well I done paid my f'r share, so I's gonna git it right back!"?
Not nearly as shameful as your assumption that everyone has psychic powers and knows how long it will take to find a job.
The point was that (in the original story before he clarified that his wife was actually receiving a legal settlement, not "unemployment") she *didn't even wait* those two months before deciding she had to resort to being a leech. No psychic powers necessary.
Wow, and she didn't find it shameful at all to go on unemployment just for a two month gap?
Gosh, I wish my morals let me quit my job to take a two month vacation while drawing unemployment to supplement my savings. (Of course, I'd probably have to engineer my firing from the job the way UI works.)
Oh, absolutely. You just have to get over his annoying, made-up-sounding name. I'll issue a thorough review of his ideas if and only if I can do it under the name Krypto McCypher.
Now that you mention it, why don't we use some sort of web-of-trust/public key infrastructure/certificate authority-based system for establishing identity and trust?
Or would that just have the same inconvenience and fraud that an SSN-based system has?
I'm Texan, and I was worried for a second that my data would be compromised. Then I saw who was affected and said "Phew! This is only the unproductive people!"
And before you flame me, if a Mr. Khan is even capable of making that much improvement to elementary+ education, when all the PhD educators in the US couldn't, yes, that means you were unproductive and students were generally excelling in spite of you, not because of you.
Yeah, but even Stephan Kinsella would be a bad choice because he immediately morphs into a complete retard once you try to actually question him on his ideas.
I'm pretty sure all banks are connected to the internet in such a way that entering your credentials and passwords (the electronic signals I was talking about) can allow me to abuse your account.
But what's the harm, right? I'm just sending ones and zeros into your bank, what's the problem? What's the big fucking deal, if it's just ones and zeros? How can that be a problem?
What is a "television" in the first place? I'd heard about it from time to time -- mainly as something that old people watch, or that my parents used to talk about watching. One explanation I've gotten is that it's like "youtube with streaming-only, and a number of channels limited to the hundreds".
Doesn't that charming Scottish accent make up for it though? I wouldn't mind being mugged half as much if the mugger had one of those pleasant, educated-sounding UK accents.
When have you had to hand out your security credentials for someone else to manage? What kind of bankrupt banana republic security infrastructure requires that?
And yet even your counter-example has some validity. Any salesperson or real estate agent will tell you that dressing nicely and driving a nice car DOES matter.
Well, more accurately, stupidy causes *both*
1) people having to go into sales because they're not smart enough for anything else 2) people buying from a salesman based on how wealthy he appears to be
I agree. Someone please tell me: which is the anti-bailout party? Which one says, "Yes, I'm willing to risk a supposed economic upheaval rather than be perpetually held hostage to plutocratic, incompetent banks that want to keep our society in the dark ages of entrepreneurship by having privileged access to ultra-cheap loans and government backstops." (And most Americans would be with such a party that said as much.)
Bush started the bailouts and Obama went right along and continued the same policy. Apparently, no matter what you believe going in, you always encounter some basilisk once gaining power that makes you suddenly think these bailouts are 100% necessary to avoid the apocalypse.
It was on the back -- the part where it says "Copyright such-and-such year such-and-such company". You know, the notice that everyone knows is there and everyone understands the meaning of when they're not feigning ignorance.
Didn't quite follow your third sentence there, but yeah, I'm de-listing Comodo and all Comodo-authorized CAs from my trusted list. We may not have perfect certificate revocation solutions, but that'll have to do for now.

So y'all couldn't wait until you actually needed the money? It was just, "Fired ... WHOO HOO! First unemployment check, here I come!"?

Then that's not "taking unemployment", that's "taking payments from a court victory/legal settlement", and thus loses its objectionability.

Did anyone else initially understand the headline to mean "Threatening to make a YouTube Video (presumably about someone) Lands Man In Prison"?
No? Just checking!
... for having their "cracks" attacked.

also, don't tell me what i can and can't do with my 1s and 0s. I don't owe you anything for matching my 1s and 0s to your 1s and 0s.
Sure, as long as you don't tell me what electronic signals I can send to your bank's open telecom connection.
Or your parents' or whatever, you get that point.

That must have been pretty boring.

Considering how many downloads (legal and otherwise) he gets, I think he's got the problem of conveying the value of app ... well, solved.
It's just that a lot of people don't fucking want to pay for something they damn well do value more than $1, if they can get it for free.

Which produces the spurious correlation we see.
From what I've read, We the People have actually turned a profit on the TARP funds that went to banks.

Oh, I don't actually know how to do it, I was just trying to sound elite.
Some of the other posters on this topic are giving more specific instructions, give them a try.
A ... poorly constructed one-time pad then?

Bah! I meant to put 660 K (thousand) ppm, thereby completing the similarity to "640 K ought to be ...".
Double phail.
