If someone has allodial title to their property then government cannot tax it. They can only tax property they own and rent out, which is almost all land in the U.S. that hasn't been purchased or confiscated from land owners.

If record of that allodial title is destroyed or lost, then you will have a difficult/impossible time proving you own your land.

I'll second this. The whole tone of the article doesn't make much sense because to me a hacker has always been someone who strives to impress themselves rather than other people.

I actually thought this was going to be an article about whether people with a smaller risk appetite have more stability, but nope, really is about chicken.

Voting is already an act of violence.

His father was suffering agony every day because government and its voters decided if anyone in that condition wants to end their life, that the course of action be to put anyone who showed him mercy into a cage or worse.

I've just started playing around piecing together one. I'm using node.js as the server, redis as the database and virtual file system, ace for the text editor, jquery and some jquery ui plugins for the rest. My goal is to build something I can roll out and run with a raspberry pi and use as something like a pocket cloud ide.

Also for editing the actual html and other files, I wrote a small console app in c# that uses the FileSystemWatcher class to monitor a htdocs folder, which updates the redis key/values in realtime.

I would prefer government to spend money on feeding people, rather than killing them. For that reason, I don't think people should be ashamed of taking food stamps, they may be indirectly saving others by doing so, since money spent feeding them is money not spent on military.

This is a little different.

Self-confidence is important when you are trying to accomplish something big, and feeling like someone else is bailing you out undermines that.

Everybody is different, but some people need to know they can bounce back from the hardest circumstances and the only way to do that is to face them head on as they come.

Its good if you have that safety net of friends and family to help out. Not everybody has that, and there is never a guarantee that you always will. This is where one would find comfort in knowing that even then, they can survive.

If you can survive the worst, your personal definition of impossible is redefined.

> If that guy did not have some kind of insurance like banks do, how can he refund anyone?

Bitcoin is a relatively new thing, would not be surprised to start seeing bitcoin insurance for these types of services.

> Is that guy a US citizen ? can he be sued by his clients ?

I think it would depend if his clients have contracts, otherwise its a caveat emptor deal, especially when dealing with bitcoin.

Looks like he may not have had enough variation in his replies.

If you have only 20 different tweets, its easy for them to look like a typical bot to automated filters. Even if you are posting them slowly, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume one flag would be a ratio of similar tweets.

The response criteria could be another thing raises a flag. It wouldn't be difficult for a filter to recognize someone only replying to specific key phrases.

If were that simple then why wouldn't we just type it into our programming environment instead?

Not to mention he himself took the job out of desperation. He admits he couldn't make a better life choice for himself but acts like he's superior to the people conducting business with him.

He also suggests they were spending $60/day on weed.. wouldn't that be at least $1200/month? He had few enough clients that he never saw the same first name twice, so his clients were probably earning more than he did.

As easy as it is for him to judge the pill clients, he could have made an effort to think of reasons why his wealthy clients were hooked. People get addicted to opiates all the time, and its not always drug dealer delivery guys who introduce them to narcotics.. sometimes its a doctor.

1) Started with QBasic. Didn't have internet back then. Literally just read the help file for every single command listed and whatever wasn't explained about its usage I learned through trial and error. (To this day I don't know how I bricked my mothers computer with bload/bsave and somehow overwrote cmos.. according to the tech who fixed it).

2) I started when I was 8 or 9 years old.

3) I started doing freelance on and off when I was 21, and eventually started making more than my part time job. It took about 2 years though before I went full time. I tried to go full time twice but would have to go back to part time work due to both motivation and client issues.

There is definitely a difference between "cold calling" and "spam" when it comes to b2b solicitation. I'm sure pharmaceutical reps show up to doctors offices often unannounced, but is that IRL spam or would a doctor miss out on useful information (even if the noise ratio is high) if this weren't a common practice?

To me it boils down to whether the information could be useful or if the person sending the emails is running a spray and pray type of campaign. If you have built a useful product that could make a business more productive, you shouldn't be shunned for letting people know about it, especially if they have published their email address and gave an impression that they were interested in hearing about it.

Well they are demanding money that doesn't belong to them, and they threaten you with physical violence or death if you refuse to comply. I don't even think "rude" is a proper description for that type of behavior. I consider it extortion.
