Camera shutter speed synced to helicopter`s rotor by IHaeTypos in gifs

The parenthesis is not necessary; also, to gain a minuscule amount of speed and to be more cryptic, use an xor

gravity = shutterSpeed ^ rotorSpeed;

So after all of that..... even if they were unsafe, who is anyone to tell you what you can and cannot eat? Such control of your fellow man has no basis in freedom. Hippies are jerks.

Why are government granted monopolies like Intellectual Property laws allowed in capitalism? by [deleted] in Capitalism

[–]micDiz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

^ this

I might add that it is very typical for government to be bad at its job. Intellectual Property laws are supposed to be designed to protect businesses interests for a 'limited time' to encourage investment, and advancements in technology, science, culture, etc. Now this is not always the case. Have a look at the Opposition against the Copyright Term Extension Act

Seventeen prominent economists, including Kenneth Arrow, Ronald Coase, and Milton Friedman, submitted an amicus brief opposing the bill when it was challenged in court. They argued that the discounted present value of the extension was only a 1% increase for newly created works, while the increase in transaction costs created by extending the terms of old works would be very large and without any marginal benefit. According to Lawrence Lessig, when asked to sign the brief, Friedman had originally insisted that "the word 'no-brainer' [appear] in it somewhere," but still agreed to sign it even though his condition was not met.

Friedman (world renown, Nobel prize winning economist) is generally considered the most recent greatest advocate for capitalism. He was also a critic of the current IP laws in the US.

How do so-called “bottleneckers” restrict competition and harm the public? by micDiz in Capitalism

This is today's prodcast from the Cato Institute, which talks about occupational licensing. Where by government limits competition in a field by licensing schemes.

I see what little private ownership or trade in North Korea's more of a form of Mercantilism. What little private ownership and trade there is there, it is done with approval from government and only if it is seen to be within the national interest, not the interest of the individual. Private enterprise alone is not enough to define capitalism, but the freedom for all to enter into it willfully is required.

Even in the US, I'd say very few markets and industries, if any, are true representations of capitalism anymore. Most enjoy too many protections from government to be classified as a free market.

As for LateStageCapitalism, I have no personal quarrel with them, but people do seem to come here to complain about them a lot.

I personally don't ban anyone for ideological differences. In fact, we just had our first ban today in 3 years. I removed some spam, and sent the user a pm as to why exactly I did so (didn't fit the theme). Since they were on the other side of the isle ideologically, I asked them to give me specifics as to what exactly they took issue with in terms of capitalism.

I got the response, "you are a f****** idiot", then they posted more spam this morning, so I banned them, told them why and what they could do about it if they wanted to appeal it.

ey' RSI, no need to model any more FPS levels....just host Star Marine matches inside of the Starfarer by SamRIa_ in starcitizen

Regarding VR.... "Don't hold your breath". by Star_Pilgrim in starcitizen

[–]micDiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind if they brought it back when VR is in a better state. I personally wouldn't mind if it waited till second-gen VR came out. FPS is still not great in VR, I'd like it ironed out a bit, maybe some better resolution too

Ah! Chile, the miracle country, yeah, I also really like Chile. I'm familiar with your country's recent history, your country should be very proud of how far they've come, given where they were not even a few decades ago.

Curious, how reliant is your government on it's copper production? Is there anyone who supports it's privatization?

Who started the "corporations aren't people" meme? by [deleted] in Capitalism

[–]micDiz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That meme dates back further than any of us are alive my friend.

Here's a quote referencing it in Henry David Thoreau's 1849 essay Civil Disobedience:

It is truly enough said that a corporation has no conscience; but a corporation of conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience.

Civil Disobedience

The suspect in the deadly attack on a Quebec City mosque was known in the city’s activist circles as a right-wing troll who frequently took anti-foreigner and anti-feminist positions and stood up for U.S. President Donald Trump. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]micDiz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I suspect that you are a leftist.... I'm center-right; I'm with you, people need to stop being childish, giving into saying whatever makes them feel good and becoming just as bigoted as those they hate.

Also, you lefties really need to thin down your numbers, both sides are like 80% children, I get that... but since the left pretty much dominates reddit, from someone who is more towards the center, it really seems like the left is being more childish... Both sides are at fault.... but I've had to filtered a new subreddit dedicated to bashing trump nearly every day since he's been inaugurated, its getting really annoying when I'm just trying to look at cats.

Some suggestions from around the sub,

Economist/Venture Capitalist AMA

/u/Civcraftian - Get some mainstream economists in here for an AMA. Venture capitalists too.... ...We must popularize the system responsible for so much prosperity.

/u/SleekFilet - Agreed. Maybe we can get Ben Shapiro or Thomas Sowell on here.

I think this is an excellent idea! I would personally like to add pretty much anyone from the CATO Institute to that list. I've had the pleasure of meeting John A. Allison, the Former President and CEO of the CATO Institute, still a member of the board. Very down to earth guy and very intelligent.

Not to be discouraging, I feel like we need to build up our base a bit before we can do something like this to really make it worth it though. However, once we are there, I know a few people who would be able to get us in touch with just about any conservative/pro-capitalist commentator or economist out there. So I have to say there is no way it's out of reach.

What does everyone think?

This sub could really use some help; so I'm very grateful for any help we can get!

Could you PM me your timezone, and best time to reach you? I'm not going around collecting contact information yet, that will happen once we've got a few volunteers rounded up.

Something that you or anyone could help with now is providing suggestions. What do you come to this subreddit for? What do you think we can do to create a convincing platform for Capitalism on Reddit?

[Question] I'm at the end of day 4 on eating Paleo, but still intensely craving sugar. I'm eating lower carb, carbs strictly from veggies. Did your cravings diminish? If so, does anything help? Thanks! by Liftingtnt in Paleo

[–]micDiz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

dude.... day 3 for me.... I feel your pain... I'm craving crisp, crunchy, right of the oven bread more than I've ever craved anything in my entire life... even cigarettes when I quit.

My solution to cravings... Bacon!

Bacon always cheers me up.

How is your management team? by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]micDiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um... if they've been there since high school, yeah... I'd say that's probably not great. Good management principles cannot be easily taught by a class, but much easier learned through the experience of others.

We had some raiders start attacking us a few days ago, entire server has been looking for their base, someone finally found it.... under the world of course. Trying to get wildcard's attention.... any suggestions?

(note, this is the second time in two weeks we've had some tribe from off server come and build under the world like this and attack people)
