Ireland?

Perhaps it’s like the Trump win. People declared they’d never vote for him publicly, but secretly did

bernieecclestoned,

😬

Eastern philosophy > Western

Western. I think, therefore I am

Eastern. I am, therefore I think

bernieecclestoned,

That’s the fundamental difference.

Western philosophy is all about thinking, a separate sense of self, rationalism

Eastern, Buddhism, daoism etc is the opposite

Translated Mu = no thing

Rationalise that!

5 billion barrels of oil and access to Antarctican minerals says try it and find out. UK has a spiffy new aircraft carrier the Tories would love to send to divert attention from their abject failure to govern

Picking a fight isn’t the same as winning a fight.

bernieecclestoned,

Yes but. Spreadsheets used to be done by hand, yet we still have bookkeepers

bernieecclestoned,

Maybe they’re lying?

bernieecclestoned,

Thanks for posting, I’ve been looking for a no code option

The capital pays for the labour, unless you have people who can work for free.

bernieecclestoned,

You know that copyright export was illegal under the Soviets though yeah? So it only got released because a UK software sales guy faxed them a contract and they didn’t realise it was binding

Robert Stein, an international software salesman for the London-based firm Andromeda Software, saw the game’s commercial potential during a visit to Hungary in June 1986.[18]: 302 [25]: 11 min After an indifferent response from the Academy,[25]: 12 min Stein contacted Pajitnov and Brjabrin by fax to obtain the license rights.[25]: 11 min The researchers expressed interest in forming an agreement with Stein via fax, but they were unaware that this fax communication could be considered a legal contract in the Western world;[26] Stein began to approach other companies to produce the game.[17]: 89–90

Stein approached publishers at the 1987 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Gary Carlston, co-founder of Broderbund, retrieved a copy and brought it to California. Despite enthusiasm amongst its employees, Broderbund remained skeptical because of the game’s Soviet origins. Likewise, Mastertronic co-founder Martin Alper declared that “no Soviet product will ever work in the Western world”.[17]: 90

Stein ultimately signed two agreements: he sold the European rights to the publisher Mirrorsoft,[17]: 90 [27] and the American rights to sister company Spectrum HoloByte.[28] The latter obtained the rights after a visit to Mirrorsoft by Spectrum HoloByte president Phil Adam in which he played Tetris for two hours.[17]: 90 [25]: 15 min At that time, Stein had not yet signed a contract with the Soviet Union.[27] Nevertheless, he sold the rights to the two companies for £3,000 and a royalty of 7.5 to 15% on sales

Would be kind of hard to play a game that didn’t get published by the evil capitalist lol

bernieecclestoned,

Yeah right. Capital accumulation just comes via bribes instead. Corruption was rife in communist countries

bernieecclestoned,

Please explain copyright export licensing under Soviet Union rules

bernieecclestoned,

Maybe we should start with what you mean by capital

bernieecclestoned,

But moreso where there’s no opportunity to make money

bernieecclestoned, (edited )

Sure, I’m always playing Vietnamese and Cuban games. They’re grrrreat!

And Tetris was only successful because of licencing, let’s not create an alternative history here

bernieecclestoned,

The Soviet Union owned all copyright, there was no licensing let alone individual copyright.

Where are you getting floppies from? Where are you getting your computer from?

bernieecclestoned,

Yes, it gets mismanaged by central government

👏…👏…👏

bernieecclestoned,

Clearly demonstrates that market socialist and hardcore capitalist countries like Denmark, Switzerland and Singapore are the least corrupt.

bernieecclestoned,

The floppy, invented by IBM, one of the biggest capitalist companies ever??

bernieecclestoned,

How about your hardware? And the fibre that enables us to communicate? And the electricity?

bernieecclestoned,

Computers and floppies existed outside of the USSR, as did Tetris.

bernieecclestoned,

Ok good. So capital is required for capex and opex.

As you start with 0 sales you need to get capital from investors to fund you until sales >1

bernieecclestoned,

Using everything that happened in the 20th century as evidence, no mystery. There’s good governance and bad management. Just one is more effective overall.

bernieecclestoned,

JFC is my what??

bernieecclestoned,

Ok, I think I get where you are coming from, but your conclusion still doesn’t argue the original point imo.

The GDPR law on the UK statute books is the exact same law as the EU one, it has not been amended. It’s just that the ECJ is no longer the highest court. The UK supreme court is again supreme following brexit.

Please provide an example of where the EU has taken action successfully against a conpany that has no base in the EU though. I’ve not seen anything like that bef

The original point was that the UK was somehow in a worse position because of brexit, this is not true. The UK is no weaker legally because of exiting the EU. The law is identical.

bernieecclestoned,

Ah ok. Yeah they just did a thing to replicate it recently. Not sure if that means there was a period when that ability was lost though
