Yea I was exaggerating, I thought these signs where new, I couldn't find a purpose for such a system, other than just terrifying drivers even more. It makes a bit more sense now that I realize this was system they used 30+ years ago. Although based on the way that guy was speaking in that video, I would say they were trying to terrify people back then too.

I was in that position for a couple of years, and that policy earned me nothing. So i decided to simply take the risk, I tell other people my ideas more freely but when i do so i allign their motivation with working with me in a business. Sometimes things dont work out the way you want, simply drop it and move on. There is a quote that i heard that shifted my position " 10% of something is greater than 100% of nothing." As a result of my new attitude i have 3 projects being developed at the same time, and my hopes are to give 5 projects per year the opportunity to see if they will succeed or fail.

Thank you.

Hello, I came across a few relevant articles. The narrative might be changing to what it actually should be.

If someone asserts that the government exists because optimal game strategy is cheating, then they have to prove it. Your first question should have been simply, how? 1) How does an individual cheating or a group of individuals cheating create the government? (Cheating with force creates a mob not a government) 2) How does the government cheating increase the size and power of the government? 3) Does reality support your assertion? My perspective is that the government doesn't have to cheat when they have a monopoly of force, you do as they say or they will ultimately kill you. That is not cheating, it is domination.

Ouch! Perhaps Bill Gates should call in:)

“Without a substantial carbon tax, there’s no incentive for innovators or plant buyers to switch.” "government R&D is far more effective and efficient than anything the private sector could do." I stopped reading at this point. --Edit-- That man has significant experience in business, what must he have to have experienced for him to say such a thing. -
Hello Mahayana, What would help clarify the situation for me is a few questions: 1) How much time would you be happy spending working from home per week? 2) What level of income would you like to achieve that would make you happy? 3) Ultimately why do you want to do this. In other words, what are your thoughts and emotions that is making you want to do this? -- Are you looking to satisfy short term money needs only? -- Are you thinking into your future for retirement? -- Are you thinking about your daughter? 4) How quickly do you wish to see results? 5) Why work from home? I think when it comes to working from home, my thoughts operate across the spectrum of creating your own business to consulting to running errands. So your answers will help focus. Why don't you tell us a bit more about what a dream job means to you? Why are you seeking it? Last set of questions: What is it about freelance graphic design is holding you back? The consultation? Agreeing upon project deadlines, cost, standard of quality? The actual work? You think they might not like your work? Work aftermath? Providing support for your work? Can you establish a business procedure that will support your emotions? Rapid customer feedback systems? I am not sure if I may be of assistance, but having clarity on these questions will help everyone.

$3.25T in Federal Taxes Collected; Still Runs $4.39B Deficit
VolT replied to Alan C.'s topic in Current Events
I wonder how many people will leave the country because of these tax increases. -
I am no expert in free markets or robotics but I think I can contribute a few factors that are valid consideration 1) Robots are not free. -- They have a high initial cost and since they have moving parts, they also have depreciation and maintenance. -- Upgrading a robot can be expensive. -- Payment for robot support(tracking performance data to ensure maintenance before a malfunction). 2) Current cost of human workers are higher than it would be in a free market. -- Licensing, unions, taxation, social security, lord forbid something happens to you at work, you know all the government "goody" bag stuff. 3) Cost and value produced of a given task. I have the assumption that if we were to flip a switch and become a free market right now, humans will probably get jobs back that robots are doing. What supports this assumption is: 1) Look at Chinese manufacturing, we are always hearing about unsafe worker environments for humans(Therefore humans are manufacturing and not robots). I am sure some of these processes can be automated, but they are not. 2) McDonalds started to fight back(by stepping up the auto cashier deployment) when the cost of their cashiers hit 15$ an hour. My second assumption is that robots would first make their way into dangerous work in a free market (work which has high cost of hiring a human due to increase in health and safety, insurances). I really have doubts of them entering into anything else(in a free market). I think interacting with a human can bring happiness and joy, which is value to a customer. You could argue well what about some AI that we manufactured that can also bring you joy and happiness. Well that AI would have serious costs behind it for a business to own for that purpose, where as a human is at that job because he is trying to fulfill his own goals. Its as if we bring value to each other by fulfilling our own goals. -- edit -- My second assumption doesn't hold for manufacturing. So maybe robots will find their way into manufacturing rather easily too. I think it is valuable to think about each job within its own context.

Hello! I hope you are all well. I am interested in having conversations with people to find out what their core skills are, and if they have any ideas for business opportunities. I would like to introduce myself, share a few of my own ideas, and what my plans are. I would also like to determine what you are capable of, how you feel about starting a business or being involved in one, and If you have any ideas that you would like to pursue, how I may help in your pursuits. In summary I have four goals: 1) to have a network of people who I can call upon based on their skills. 2) to determine if I may be of assistance to individuals who already do have a set plan. 3) to share and refine business ideas/opportunities that may lead to a business. 4) Get to know people that I may work with. I would like to have this conversation on a 1 on 1 basis over Skype or Google chat, and below I will give more information about myself for you to determine if you do wish to have a conversation. I have publicly available information about who I am and what I do, so please check out my LinkedIn profile, and my CV. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/volkan-tas/71/370/798 CV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkm2b2gnnpve069/CV4.pdf?dl=0 I have prototyped digital hardware, firmware, PC software, and web applications. At this point I have the confidence in myself to learn what I need to know to fulfill all functional requirements for a project. I am comfortable/capable investing the next year of my life to focus towards a business, which unifies a technical solution, and has the potential for financial return. Right now my immediate needs are: 1) A business mentor 2) People who have the capacity to start a business outside of the USA 3) People with a strong physics background 4) Mechanical Engineers 5) Individuals who are artistically inclined. I would still like to hear from you even if your skills are not on this list! If you are interested please private message me your Skype ID or your email to Google chat with. I will add you on Skype/g chat, and we will determine a schedule to have our conversation. Then we will simply talk and exchange of our ideas/thoughts. If you require more information please let me know here. I will do my best to answer it. If we can generate something valuable, great! Otherwise we will at least have given each other something to think about. If you are reading this even a year after its post date, and are interested, still PM me!

My appologies, for me it was interesting because of the upvote downvote that was happening. Reddit link is getting taken down by their mods for not satisfying their rules. All above attempts of sharing didnt catch on, got 226 views in total.

I shared this on imgur, where infographics are liked and where the discussion of spanking is heated! http://imgur.com/gallery/nJRmNgq also added to 9gag.com http://9gag.com/gag/aYpdED0/ My hope is that it will start off a heated discussion in both places and maximize viewage. It is now also on reddit /r/parenting https://www.reddit.com/r/Parenting/comments/2pvfjn/spanking_infomercial/ Edit: Reddit link is getting interesting! There has been 191 views, and there has been enough upvotes and downvotes that it has reached number one slot on the controversial tab for today in 9 hours! /r/parenting has 71000 subscribers

Answering your question: Lets assume that the objective of the discussion will be to get her to stop the abuse. Do you think that she will stop the abuse after a discussion? And not repeat? Yes: Have the conversation with her when your son is not there, phone call or face to face. I hear that you are being abusive to my son, how would you feel if I treated you this way? Unreasonable people will attack you at this point. which brings us to..... No: No need to discuss, you need to take other actions to stop your son experiencing abuse. My experience:I too had an unreasonable, abusive mother [there was no spanking/beating yet still abusive behaviours]. When I was in that situation, I just wanted to be away from it all, and that someone would just remove me from the situation. I wasn’t capable on my own.My question would be, what do they argue about? If she is unreasonable then she is probably arguing with him over unreasonable expectations too.How frequent is this?Is it a possibility for you to remove him from the situation?Have you asked him what he would like?Are you sure your son really is enjoying this balance? Put your self in his shoes, you have to go back into that house, and live there knowing the abuse. You are not capable of doing anything about it. How would you feel? It isolated me. Made me quiet.My mother didn’t deserve the effort of reason people put in her. Edit----Changed sentence Yes: Have the conversation with her when your son is not there, phone call or face to face. I hear that you are being abusive to my son, how would you feel if I treated you this way?
