Like olex said, this is completely incorrect.
"In Europe this absolutely cannot happen. First, everybodys is health is insured by state, so whatever injuries in whatever car accident anybody may have, there's no claims to present to anybody - state pays everything."
I personally don't know of any states that do this in Europe but I guarantee you in Eastern Europe this is entirely untrue.
Why are you trying to make the US system look bad with these lies?
Think about how damaging it would be to a state's economy to cover these kinds of accidents on a regular basis.
Okay, you had me up until > up to and including a technological singularity.
Please...please stop this Ray Kurzweil religious BS. This will most likely not happen within our lifetime and I sure hope it doesn't. The Singularity is based on the notion that we will all have access to immortality, knowledge, etc.. the beautiful concepts we are already losing access to (See SOPA, PIPA, freedoms getting taken away, etc..)
The 'sheeple' will never get to reap the benefits of 'The Singularity'.
NINJA EDIT: There is an 'unzoom' button on the left!
I can't figure out how to zoom out either because I don't think they've implemented that functionality. You can also zoom in infinitely...which is strange.
Not to be a jerk, both those three videos you posted don't seem to encompass exactly what happened here.
I'm not saying it's a real video but everyone's reaction is different towards any event. I don't think this can be counted as proof against the 'realness' of the video.
I watched Rands speak at CUSEC in 2011 in Montreal. The way he speaks is similar to the way he writes. His thoughts are though-provoking and insightful, generally teaching you at least one new thing you hadn't known before.
I see your point and I agree with you. Look over the article describing the bankruptcy announcement, it states that "Some 15,600 jobs are expected to be cut."
That is quite damaging for a company of such degree and the family of all those employees.
I think the lesson here is that it's important to be close to your employees, regardless of how rich you _can_ be.
I found his stance to be quite smug but he got his opinions across. I agree with him that it helps the 'normal' people interact with each other without jumping through loops but I think that is more a benefit than a critique.
Are you replying to the wrong post?
