    I thought you were talking about the Russian government, Its pretty tolerant about gays..., there are many gay bars in Moscow..., of course Moscow is a big city so maybe situation will be different in other cities. About anti-gay remarks on youtube being a litmuss test...trolls you have everywhere, not really something definitive. I am not so concerned about Russia,.., I am concerned about Saudi Arabia (a strong US alley) where gays are beheaded publicly on Fridays. Its funny how people follow in lockstep the mainstream media and US government indignation of the anti-gayness of Russia, but heads rolling in SA is kind of ,,,mm omitted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Saudi_Arabia What Putin thinks about gays?

    I was in Brazil once (Forta Leza) and racism is indeed rampant between colored people, Ah well, Brazil is poor for a reason and this dysfunction is just one of many. http://brazilianbubble.com/custo-brasil-opening-a-business-in-brazil-now-takes-only-119-days-the-good-news-it-used-be-157/ According to the World Bank, the waiting period to open a company in Brazil has dropped 20% in the last five years. Today, the process takes 119 days; in 2007, it took 152. The bad news? In a list of 183 countries, Brazil is only worse than Equatorial Guinea (137 days), Venezuela (141), Republic of the Congo (160) and Suriname (694 days)… it almost sounds like a joke! According to newspaper Folha, Brazil is also considerably worse than the emerging countries known as Brics, which includes India (29 days), Russia (30), China (38) and South Africa (19 days). Comparison: I think it takes 2 minutes in the UK (can do it online) and one day in if you do it in person at the desk of company house. This this rampent government obstruction. it is really not helpfull or factual to point out so called hidden dark forces that are responsible for poverty (the power elite, illuminati, <fill in talking point>). It is clear brazil needs less government obstruction so the poor can legally create shops and businesses and interface properly with the economy.

    Hi Quadrewple, first you have my empathy for your situation. My advice will sounds a bit against the grain, but I have been perscribed mood stabalizers and they work extreemly really well to get you out of a hole, its like a tetanus shot.., but its not a replacement for good selfexpletory work in the long run. I used it as a good kickstarter. Sorry i missed your conversation with Stef, I will wait till it appears in the podcasts

    Saudi Arabia, Dubai, etc are rich in resources but they are not really 3rd world nations , it didnt seem anyone was exploiting them when OPEC called aboycot in the 1970's. I want to postulate that resources (if this is meant by coal, iron, etc) are a curse instead of a benefit. Just look at Japan (yes,.. i know it has zombie banks etc, and what not) they have almost no resources to speak off, but still a very wealthy nation compared to others with up to their necks in natural resources.

    ..a nice standalone game (not something static like a card game poker or bridge) in js...mmm 1-2 month of hard work doing it in 40 hours per week free time., (including good graphic design). so that 8*40 hours = 320 hours, to create a game like "angry birds" for a seasoned professional. MMPORG,? most of the work will be the massive infrastructure on the backend connecting thousands of people in realtime, of course depends on complexity of the game. But was thinking about a game that would be enjoyable to play and teach maybe some ancap virtues aswell. More like a "propaganda" (for lack of a better word) tool. I hope you will be successfull. You can learn javascript yourself, it would take approx 40 hours of study. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide

    Relentlessy? I was reacting to (quote) ",..Can you get hired without a degree?.." and i made a passing remark about that not being a requirement for most companies in this field (CS), and google was kindof proof for that. I can understand collge is a huge investment for you, so that remark might have cought your attention more then ohers. Just a questions, what are tutition fees in the USA these days?

    I'm feeling increasingly irritated jacbot. I've already stated three times that I learn better in school. Why irritated? My last reply was was 100% directed towards poster "Extraordinary_rendition." not towards you. as you have made your point and I have wished you luck in your endevours..., please re-read I'm sure Google hires people with CS degrees anyway. Sure,..,Either way (accourding to their press release) a dgeree not relevant to them. Maybe some of the people who went to college also learn better in school? Have you considered that? School ? doesnt that precede college? I am from EU, so for us school is not same as college. I am just wondering since IT re-invents itself every 3-5 years, how will you learn the next programming language? go back to college? Just asking.... Again, as previously stated for your case,. if you think you need college to learn C programming/<fill in talking point>, then you should do it. Much success!

    "Don't compare yourself to Elon Musk. Everybody is different" You should read what i wrote,., Elon and I have had the same method of studying physics in college. Thats not comparing myself to him, thats explaining methodology. He explained what he did in an interview,.., and recommended this method for people wanting to study physics and engineering. totally agree with him on that point as i have the same experience. Google states clearly (quote) "college GPAs and transcripts are almost worthless in hiring." You disagree with google HR reasearch? Google is biased? They are stating facts based on performance of employees! Let that sink in for a moment! Obviously you are still investing in your college degree so i guess you have conformation bias. College is a goal to reach an objective, the emotional stuff about status and and what quality was 10 years ago is not relevant. 3-5 years college to learn programming? Why? your not even learning math or anything "difficult", its a total waste of time. (your quote) "..Computer science majors don't need to take much physics or even high level math.." My point, if its that easy, you dont need college for CS! and google epmployee performance records agree! Feynman is correct about CS , its not a science because its applied,.,.., applied stuff is always engineering. Of course you can call it science for the status, but that doesnt reflect reality. Chip design is a mix of solid state physics and EE, every phycisist knows this.

    I am not Elon Musk either but did the same way (as many others) Anyway,..., good luck Eric.

    Google doesnt give a shit about your degree, and many more companies are following suit After years of looking at the data, Google has found that things like college GPAs and transcripts are almost worthless in hiring. Following these revelations, the company is hiring more and more people who never even went to college. Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/google-hiring-non-graduates-2013-6#ixzz37NYE1wnE Richard Feynman "i dont believe in computer science" Classic!! If you HAVE to go to college, why dont you try chemistry? Computers are needed in every discipline . programming skills are basic these days for any engineer, its like using MSWord. Nothing special about them. . It's not so much the degree, but the education I will get with that degree. Dont buy the salespitch,.., and dont waste your time, if you want some experience go build stuff in the real world (join a good project at github or apache.org). It will take some time to be good at C++, and GUI (html5. js, css) ... It will take experience..., a programming exercise at your uni will not teach you this. College is usefull for other things, math, biology, chemistry, hard sciences in general. But with the internet the way it is a lot of the theoretical stuff you can learn by yourself. Elon Musk never went to class he studied in the library.. he is above average who can think out of the box because his brain doesnt want to conform to mainstream thinking. Anyway, whatever you do, good luck

    I dont undestand why people need a computer science degree to do programming,., I dont know why they call it "science" either, its engineering and they should be proud to call it that. Google just changed its HR policy and a college degree is not longer required!!!. Now regardless of the fact that Google might or might not be an evil corperaton bla di bla di bla... the point being made here is that for them to hire excellent professionals a college degree is not necessary! Its helpfull if you want to load up on mathematics depending on what you want to do with IT. But you can get the books (i can send you a nice list to start with) and you would learn it a lot better then IT course. My 2 cts. Google is hiring non graduates http://www.businessinsider.com/google-hiring-non-graduates-2013-6

    http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-google-glass-mindrdr-20140711-story.html London firm creates mind-controlled commands for Google Glassan agency that specializes in creating user interfaces and experiences for programs used in the medical industry, developed a software called MindRDR that allows Google Glass to connect with the Neurosky MindWave Mobile EEG biosensor, a head-mounted device that can detect a person's brain waves. Google stores search habbits, now they will store my EEG patterns? Fuck no!

    You cant expect Tesla to mach output production of say General Motors..at this time. http://www.natgeotv.com/ca/megafactories/videos/brand-new-tesla-factory The bottleneck of the production of electric cars is unfortunatly the world production of li-ion batteries,.., thats why Tesla is now building the biggest li-ion battery production facility in the world. So its a smart move to free up the patents..., since they will be in the near future the only battery manufacturing facility to meet demand . http://www.latimes.com/business/jobs/la-fi-tesla-tax-break-bill-20140711-story.html Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has said that he's considering Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas, as well as California, for his so-called gigafactory. However, company spokesman Simon Sproule declined to comment on the location search. Now I dont know who will be the major consumers of these batteries, it might aswell be the big manufacturors or might aswell be the selfbuild community whos tinkering their own ecars, ebikes, (just like in the old compu days where the selfbuild community was huge).

    I just thought about something If the air is filled with these kind of delivery drones, people can hide their own drones in the "drone-flok" in the sky,., and deliver contrabands (drugs) to customers.

    Did you like the video? The first part was a reply to you (WW1, white feathers) The second part was a reply to Kevin (other then a white line for seperation in my reply, i didnt do a @Kevin marker) apologies. I hereby explicitly clarify. It relates to voting , poltical action of special interest groups (aka like feminist). -- your quote "didn't say... voting "rights" was a bad thing" your quote "Yes, it's a bad terrible thing." your quote "Voting isn't exactly evil," you can change your mind about voting ofcourse, but its funny it happens twice in the first 3 lines of your reply. The meaning of the word "contradiction" is reserved to describe exactly this kind of flip flopping short term memory problem. Anyway, anarchist "Michael Rozeff" is quite explicit,., voting is an existential right because,.. hey, citizens are the "principals" of the society. You did watch the mises youtube ?

    INDEX OF ECONOMIC FREEDOM 2014 BRAZIL http://www.heritage.org/index/country/brazil Brazil’s economic freedom score is 56.9, making its economy the 114th (United States is 12!!) freest in the 2014 Index. Over the 20-year history of the Index, Brazil’s economic freedom score has improved by only 5.5 points. The combined improvement achieved in five of the 10 economic freedoms, including trade freedom, monetary freedom, and investment freedom, has been offset by deteriorations in the area of government size that measures the tax burden and government spending. Brazil had advanced into the ranks of the “moderately free” economies in the Index during the first half of the 2000s, but since 2007, the economy has fallen back to the status of “mostly unfree.” The lack of progress toward greater economic freedom has discouraged private-sector growth and continues to undermine realization of the economy’s full potential. Tuff shit,.., socialism doesnt work in brazil either Very true,.., if this were not so..communism might actually work in Brazil , while it doesnt work anywhere else. But this is of course nonsense so the lemma is proven "..Economics ( aka Economic theory: note added from me) doesn't differ from region to region.." What resources are you talking about?

    Well, English is not so hard language to learn, for myself, I made a shitload of typos and symantic errors in the past, Its now a lot better,.., I depended on autocorrect functions, but after a while i remembered how to spell correctly, -- Use spellingschecker as much as possible, it worked for me.

    This is forked from another discussion, because it deserves its own thread. Principal Agent theory applied to the organisation of the State. This is a talk from Michael Rozeff at the Lugwig von Mises Institute's annual Austrian Scholars Conference held at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama; March 16-18, 2006. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIE74SD0wTA

    quote from the link "..The first two years of World War I saw the utilization of only voluntary enlistment in Britain..." So partially voluntary it seems,,,,thanks for the info Why voting is an existential right: "Lecture presented by Michael Rozeff at the Lugwig von Mises Institute's annual Austrian Scholars Conference held at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama; March 16-18, 2006." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIE74SD0wTA

    I defood my parents long ago, and you think you can get justice from your parents if they apologize in some whay, but they wont. They havent felt the results of the "investments accruud" with interest. It can be very hard to break with people you have emotionally bonded with like all children have done with their parents , i get that So you want to save that emotional bond ,..but this is not likely to happen as the bond was already broken by their actions, you only have "the idea" of the bond. I suggest you give you and your parents a timeout,.., and then decide on a defoo.
