ender_33When it is true at a given time that most people will work in a certain field only for high pay, it need not remain true. The dynamic of change can run in reverse, if society provides an impetus. If we take away the possibility of great wealth, then after a while, when the people have readjusted their attitudes, they will once again be eager to work in the field for the joy of accomplishment.Aug 11 02:17
ender_33The question “How can we pay programmers?” becomes an easier question when we realize that it's not a matter of paying them a fortune. A mere living is easier to raise.Aug 11 02:17

TechrightsSocial@keithccurtis: @schestowitz My point is that the neocon term is used as a slur usually. It is meant as an insult typically against Jews.Aug 11 08:19
TechrightsSocial@keithccurtis: @schestowitz Jews who go from liberal to conservative are considered apostates and demonized. You play along by also using the slur.Aug 11 08:19

Ziomatrixschestowitz: I remember what we chatted about yesterday and it reminded me about what someone said to me. I know your opinion of conscripting as a totalitarian institution to indoctrinate everyone into combat. But one of the interesting effects of it is that it makes society as a whole more vested in what the military is doing. For example, conscripting for Vietnam is what made the protest against continued Aug 11 17:04
Ziomatrixinvolvement so big and compelling enough to effectively made a majority of Americans end involvement through cutting of Congressional funding. In Israel for example, notice that they never got involved into a war of attrition. Thats due to the fact that they can't afford to lose a chunk of the population. Finland also has conscripting but since they have been at peace for long enough many people can volunteerAug 11 17:04
Ziomatrixutilities or a hospital rather then defence.Aug 11 17:04
schestowitzFinland was once attacked by the Russian, even more over the centuriesAug 11 17:06
schestowitzNot sure how serious this was...Aug 11 17:06
Ziomatrixschestowitz: Finland was occupied by Russia for a good while. They also fought twice during WWII when the Soviet Union tried to take them over.Aug 11 17:07
Ziomatrixschestowitz: interestingly enough Finnish forces make up a large percentage of UN PeacekeepersAug 11 17:07
schestowitzI had a friend from there when I started university (first guy from CS whom I made friends with) and he had done some service there, which they do easilyAug 11 17:07
schestowitzSometimes it's basic learning and not any oppression involvedAug 11 17:07
schestowitzIOW, not professional-but-volunteer occupationAug 11 17:08
Ziomatrixschestowitz: anyway all I'm stating is that if having a democracy means everyone having equal say and participation in government, wouldn't it make sense for everyone to be aware of even the less tasteful side of it in order to avoid waging wars on private interest?Aug 11 17:08

qu1j0t3yeah, and eliminate their participation in social programs. isn't this borderline illegal?Aug 11 22:45
qu1j0t3they're basically assuming the right to write their own punishmentsAug 11 22:45
qu1j0t3new MonarchyAug 11 22:45
schestowitzqu1j0t3: less prominent in the 'riots' were some young girlsAug 11 22:48
schestowitzNot troublemakersAug 11 22:48
schestowitzAnd not prominent in the eventsAug 11 22:48
schestowitzBut there have genusine concerns about their fututreAug 11 22:48
schestowitzMaybe they saw these events as a flicker of a chance and opportunityAug 11 22:49
schestowitzBut they were not organisedAug 11 22:49
schestowitzThey should have prepared banners or somethingAug 11 22:49
schestowitzTo make at least *their* case heardAug 11 22:49
schestowitzBut nobody came organnised to make a statement, even though I walked past some cameramenAug 11 22:49
schestowitzThey could have done things rightAug 11 22:49
schestowitzBut I would not want to be associated among organisers of a real campaign cause the media groups everything as "riots"Aug 11 22:50
schestowitzWhich made me wodnerAug 11 22:50
schestowitzIf theoretically I stried organising a peaceful protest nowAug 11 22:50
schestowitzOver the issue of povertyAug 11 22:50
schestowitzGiven the new laws, I'd be seen as an offender, I thinkAug 11 22:51
schestowitzThey showed burning buses on TVs to scare the public and fear over the issue of stabilityAug 11 22:51
qu1j0t3schestowitz: yes, I think the whole 'trial by flickr' thing is not being properly examined.Aug 11 23:01
qu1j0t3schestowitz: this was a factor at Toronto G20 as wellAug 11 23:01
qu1j0t3schestowitz: again, it's a deliberate tactic.Aug 11 23:01
qu1j0t3if people are afraid of being photographed at a protest, they will stay home.Aug 11 23:01
qu1j0t3the police were openly photographing and videotaping G20 Aug 11 23:02
qu1j0t3...which really should be illegal.Aug 11 23:02

TechrightsSocial@derekrootboy: Nick Clegg predicted riots if Cameron formed a government. Resentment against police was part of the fuel for riot that's years old. #bbcqtAug 11 23:08
schestowitzI still don't want harassment from policeAug 11 23:08
schestowitzNever had anyAug 11 23:08
qu1j0t3who does?Aug 11 23:08
qu1j0t3that's part of the point.Aug 11 23:08
schestowitzBut they're just 200 yards away from my house, maybe 300Aug 11 23:08
qu1j0t3you shouldn't risk harassment by being on the street unless you are suspected of a crime.Aug 11 23:08
qu1j0t3the police behaviour does not reflect that Aug 11 23:08
qu1j0t3rt'dAug 11 23:09
schestowitzokAug 11 23:09
schestowitzHas Cameron made an attempt to meet community leaders and listen to their grievance?Aug 11 23:25
qu1j0t3hah! he can't afford to show any skinAug 11 23:27
qu1j0t3schestowitz: we are talking about a totalitarian, one-unified-front response from govt and mediaAug 11 23:27
schestowitzI bet it would legitimise the 'rioters'Aug 11 23:28
qu1j0t3exactlyAug 11 23:28
