Sure, but you're talking about the vendor supplying the program to the customer and still maintaining the installation at the site. I was under the impression the request was by customers who have their own IT departments, for a "give us the program and let our IT department do the maintenance" scenario. Or is that not the case, do all the prospective customers who want to run software on their own servers, only want to do so if the vendor still maintains it?

Even if he disagrees then, so what?

Company owners/directors vs employees is a 1:x ratio, where x can get to 100,000 and more.

The law should protect the general population (employees) more than the few directors.

And if you are worried about other companies having an unfair advantage make this mandatory in all states. And penalty-tax international goods imported from countries without something similar.

Else, you are competing with the lower common denominator, ie. with what people are willing to do in a poverty stricken country somewhere on the world, where even kids are allowed to be put to work, etc.

Which is unfair to both you and to them (because it makes it possible to perpetuate their relative misery as a "strategic advantage").

Did you see the chart in the article? Did you read the bit in the article where he declared that he considers 30% fair?

According to the chart, Hungary takes 50% more than the Netherlands. Are there any objective metrics at all that suggests that Hungarians are 50% better educated, have 50% better health and child care or 50% better pensions?

Stealing might be an inflammatory word, but what's going on in Hungary (and, indeed, many other European countries) certainly isn't a mutually beneficial transaction.

The laws differentiating between a contractor/employee vary based on country, state, etc. But at the core they are the same thing. One party is providing compensation in exchange for a service.

People that oppose 'right to work' and 'at-will' employment tend to not understand this until you put them in the position of the party that is providing the compensation. Once they are forced to pay for a service they do not want/need/like they are less likely to support laws like the ones in the article.
Yes, I'm from Romania.
Only that doesn't work.

The owner of a 100/1000/10000 people company has much more power than the employee in need of work negotiating his salary/working conditions.

Not everyone is a "rock star" employee that managers are bending over backwards to accommodate.

That doesn't mean that the rest of the hundreds of millions of workers have to work with whatever conditions they can arrange for themselves. If managers could have their way, everybody would be working 18/7 for substinence salary. A society has to make laws to protect the public from that.

Politics used to mean: "a way to protect the common folk from bigger powers".

> What exactly is specifically bad about the Iranian government that other countries have not already did, including the US?

Did you notice that Libya, Tunisia and Egypt already had a popular revolution, and that Syria is still having one? Would you have said, 12 months ago, that the majority of Tunisians, Egyptians and Libyans WANT to live like they do, and RESPECT their country's ideals?

If not, why not? and why is Iran different?

If so -- then, 12 months later, when you have proof positive that it wasn't the case 12 months earlier -- why do you think Iran is different (except in the sense that the popular green revolution has not succeeded)

It always troubles me when people talk about the future and futurism optimistically and without understanding the historical context and why it might be a bad idea.

For you that don't know, futurism had its roots in 20th century Italy and was a broad art and cultural movement that ultimately gave rise to fascism. It also inspired both Lenin and Hitler and merged with the ideals of industrialism to create communism (Leninism) and national socialism.

The difference is, back in those days futurism was considered avantgarde. Today it seems to be modus operandi.

I always say. A country can be valued by how it protects it's weakest.

I wish people would realize that in a society we should all work together rather than have the strong huddle in a little pile and point and laugh at the weak or needy.

I propose a new law for Hungary saying that every company with more than 10 employees should have the same percentage of female/male as that of the population or in special cases (like with IT) that of the field at universities. This would stop some companies profiting from healthy 30 year old single men, and then throw them away like rags once they start feeling the pressure or want children.

To give incentive to the law I propose giving higher tax to those companies not following the laws and increasing them at an exponential rate yearly :)
2b) It never lived, it was a "frozen corpse", and since you can make copies at will, just having a copy doesn't constitute a new life until it's run.

How long does it have to run before it's alive? If the interval is short enough then there will be no change in state whatsoever. So in what way does the mind state have to change in order for it to have lived? What if that change is so simple that you can calculate it in your head? Have you created a new life just by thinking about what will happen next in the simulation? By writing it down?

3a) Since there's zero information difference, I'd say it is OK.

So you would have no objection to being killed if there was an identical copy of you in existence somewhere? Why does that matter? Why do you care more about this copy of you than you do about anybody else? Why should a stranger care that there is at least one copy of you?

4c,d) Very interesting. On the one hand, in case of many modifications, you can't really foresee the consequences, so all should be considered unethical to prevent unintended suffering.

But you are modifying your own mind all the time, by forming memories and learning skills. To some degree, you choose what you think and experience. Imagine that you have ultimate control over every facet of your mind. You live in a computer, so there is no "natural" mental life. You must choose exactly how your mind will progress.

If you make a frozen copy of yourself, it hasn't diverged yet, so you can modify it however you like, since it's you.

And if new, unique people are to be created at all, someone will have to choose how their mind works. There is no longer a "natural" reproductive process to decide this. How can choices be made in the new person's interests when it is those very interests that are being chosen?

The most common medications deal with issues directly related to lack of exercise, sleep, stress, and poor diet. So, I don't know if physicians are more prone to medicate people or if people are simply living less healthy lifestyles.

Other options when asked what is your current salary:

1. "Since I was a top performer last year, I will be getting a large raise this month. I can get back to you when I get the specific number"

2. "Since I currently get 7 weeks of vacation and work from home 75% of the time, my current salary is probably not a good starting point since this position does not offer that compensation"

3. " I expect to receive another offer next week so I can't give you a range until I know how much they are going to offer"

4. " The NDA at my current employer prohibits me from discussing my compensation"

As long as you are professional about declining to give you salary, the worst thing that can happen is that you get a really low offer and you tell them no thanks.
I'd advise against that, because it buffers you from knowing just how simple it is - and gets you in the habit of wasting money getting accountants to do things which you can do yourself in 10 minutes.

The counter argument isn't that directors should have more power at the expense of employees, it's that the harder it is to fire someone, the less likely a company is to take on employees they don't absolutely know they will need for a very long period. This slows down the entire economy severely which hurts employees much more than directors (harder to get a job in the first place, less options for switching jobs if you don't like your current). This feeds into the political system: When most people are in employments for life, and has never had to justify their own contributions and have no pressure to keep their skills up to date, they will not (broadly speaking) support politicians who will diminish their rights, leading to further entrenchment.

The current state of the Spanish economy, particularly the crippling high youth employment is the primary case study for this situation.
That's still far lower taxes than I pay in the USA. SS, Medicare, State, Federal really adds up.

Federal 25%(over 34k), Medicare 15.3% (below ~120k cutoff), Medicare 2.9%, Virginia 5.75% (over 17k /year). Now many people get tax breaks for various things but 50% income tax rate is fairly common for the upper middle class without much in the way of a safety net or public heath care.

"""Did you notice that Libya, Tunisia and Egypt already had a popular revolution, and that Syria is still having one? Would you have said, 12 months ago, that the majority of Tunisians, Egyptians and Libyans WANT to live like they do, and RESPECT their country's ideals?"""

Not only I noticed, but I live near those parts of the world, have friends there, and know that what you seem to believe about those countries has nothing to do with the reality.

The popular revolutions did not happen because they wanted to be more like americans, or because they rejected islam or whatever.

The western media just overplayed some guys on twitter and similar figures that have little to do with the actual struggle, as if they represent the will of the people. The western governments also overplay their people there, like politicians with 10% of the vote and such. Students, another group that was also overplayed, was a tiny minority in those revolting.

And yet, people draw conclusions and pretend to know all about the politics and tensions of those areas from news articles spoon fed to them. This is similar to some foreign news source showing, say, Glenn Beck and assuring his audience that "all americans think like that".

There have been power struggles and political antagonisms for thousands of years, in all parts of the world. When one happens to happen to a country that the us doesn't like, it doesn't mean that the people doing it suddenly decided to adopt a different way of living. It just means that they don't like dictators (or even that they just don't like their current dictator), period.

Also, while the revolts in Egypt and Tunisia where genuine, the revolts in Libya where mostly BS, as the population could care less about Khadaffi's rule. Unlike the other revolts, this only succeeded because of heavy backing, military and otherwise, from the west, interested in the oil.

And it's not like things are going to turn for the better there (or even in Egypt and Tunisia, if the interested foreign powers are going to have their way), most probaly they will turn into something like Iraq, substituting a dictatorship with livable conditions and stability to a nightmare of civil war, ethnic cleansing, foreign exploitation, and EVEN MORE islamic fundamendalism etc...

Debunking a Computer Chess Scandal
http://www.modrobotics.com/
Simply on the basis of telling a fascinating story, the series is well worth reading. Beyond that, some of what particularly struck me was that:

- since about 2005, chess programs that run on a regular PC have consistently outperformed the best human grandmasters, and the skill of the computer chess programs continues to improve. 2005 was a quantum shift in the chess programming world, when chess programs first played "brilliant games with deep, beautiful combinations...[and] routinely produce[d] highly artistic masterpieces of chess while avoiding a great many pointless “computer” moves that for many years had been a source of ridicule among strong human players."

- improvement in algorithms is driven by an active community ecosystem, open source contributions and flagrant copying of the brilliant insights of a few. No matter how brilliant the insight, the community is able to improve upon it. Intellectual property protection would have stopped much of this improvement in its tracks.

It's four separate articles, so I posted the first. All four are:

The problem here is that all those countries are going to wind up with the same exact problems that started all this (no jobs, no real freedom, corrupt government, etc).
But if you're going to get an accountant anyway and it's going to be free, it's a more effective use of your time to let someone else do it. Although I agree the process is pretty simple.
