@kotovalexarian@liberdon.com Everyones evil, citizens, workers, governments, oligarchs. The only real difference is some are more successful at being evil than others.

@Acer Normally you cant, in this case it was mentioned as part of the leak.

Man its really annoying to see people constantly make up this whole "rich people dont pay taxes" nonsense.. If you review their actual tax records you'll see Elon paid about 1/3 of his income as taxes and Bezos about 1/4, which is actually quite high. But yea lets just make shit up instead and manipulate the numbers to show some "true" tax rate that is really just some fantasy as close to 0 as we can distort, cant just make up fake numbers and think its useful to addressing any problems that might exist.

@SuperDicq

Could be, but that would be an odd choice. That said it may at least include the artwork and the prose, the whole work is copyrighted by default.

@eludom

@eludom You couldnt copyright the golden rule, you'd need a patent for that :) The copyright on this would likely hold up in a court of law though, but it wouldnt suggest ownership over the golden rule, only this particular prose and wording.

@realcaseyrollins its common that womens shoes arent made large enough for many men... so yea sounds about right.

@realcaseyrollins Everything is racist, the only way not to be racist is to be black and never disagree with other blacks. Optionally you can chose to be mexican, spanish, or muslim as well.

@cwebber Thanks!

@cwebber Hey, I've been looking around for a diet/calorie counting app for emacs org-mode. I noticed some references and one fork of such a module that you wrote, though the link the fork linked to is down (it was from 2013 so no surprise)... Do you still have the source for your module up somewhere? Have you done anything with it?

@eludom How old is it? Certainly extra special considering who it is from too :)

Show me anything/everything you own that is 100 years old or more, go!

A benefit of little importance to them however, EU and US are not significant markets for sharkfin, asia is. Meanwhile the much larger asian shipping companies have similar benefits geared towards their asian markets. Thus they can deliver similar benefits of superior value to any company wanting to ship shark fins.

You will find, I'm sure, that Fedex carries a very small portion of the overall quantity of shark fins shipped.

@realcaseyrollins @thenewoil

@koherecoWatchdog

No as I covered in Asia fedex is actually quite a bit smaller than its competitors. Fedex is only much larger from a western perspective (where they do dominate), which is also the least significant part of their market.

@thenewoil

Well for starters my goal isnt to change anyone's mind. Its to explore the idea of ethics and share view points. Viewing it as an adversarial process where one must win over the other was your first problem.

Second, in the time since weve been discussing this I managed to update my emacs configuration, revamp my personal note and TODO system, write a few scripts to help improve org-habit, logged pretty much all my current project TODOs, fix some server scripts, and make myself a delicious home cooked lunch.

I think were doing just fine here :)

@koherecoWatchdog @realcaseyrollins

@koherecoWatchdog

They are likely competitively priced and around the same

@realcaseyrollins @thenewoil

@koherecoWatchdog

Its pretty trivial when your in asia, in fact FedEx is pretty low ont he list in asia when it comes to the largest asia based shipping companies available to them.

You will find the vast majority of large imports, particularly food, does not go through fedex, ups or any of the companies you mentioned. They are generally on freighter ships and ships by companies you have never heard of.

@thenewoil @realcaseyrollins

@koherecoWatchdog

Get rid of fedex then all youll have are companies stepping in to take the place. It would leave a **huge** amount of money for any shipping company up for grabs. Or again the companies will ship their own. Remember shark fin is largely limited to asian regions and they have more than enough shipping options to cover 99% of their buyer base.
