The marketplace is a craigslist I guess.

It's also free.

I would get rid of the blue thing. To me, I feel that the navigation and content area are disconnected and create a weird feeling in me.

I like the guy claiming we're CIA.

You mean the Silk Road.

Wrong section. Should belong in the marketplace section.

So the answer to the asked question in the topic is "No"?

If you read the discussion, we provide a bit more nuanced answer. Basically we agree that it is true that some regulations will do good, but we do not agree with the method of enforcement. Hence, we're still opposed to government regulation on ethical ground.

It's like asking if you like to breathe and eat.

Somebody hated the idea of profit enough to vote no.

What if I build an unsafe house that impacts those around it. Let's say that my house is prone to fires, and that will destroy/damage every house around it. Isn't it resaonable to have regulations in place to prevent damage to other peoples property?

Nobody is proposing the idea of no regulation.

Why should the price of a building affect the value of the product of one's labor within that building?
Actually, it's the worker who is in the position to neogitate as it is related to workplace condition. This is not related to worker competition but employer competition.

Worker: Why should I work in this cheap-o building instead of working in that safe building?

Employer: I pay twice as much wage as that other guy over there.

Worker: Hmm, I think I walk away...

Employer: No, don't go. I'll pay triple as much wage.

Worker: ok.

I still don't. Just because we disagree doesn't mean we can't have a civil discussion.

We are unable to have a rational discussion because people here do not feel exploited when somebody profit off of them. Nobody feel ashamed and nobody cares.

If you don't simply feel exploited even though you fully understand the situation, well..what ya going to do?

...who exactly are you expecting to say "no" to this?

Somebody voted no.

Is it possible for bitcoiners to work in the game making KoL meat to sell to you?

Do you like making money and having extra bitcoin in your wallet?

You seem very comfortable dictating what other people should and should not do when engaging in voluntary interactions. I think that's why socialists sound so much like statists to me.

He doesn't understood my angry outbrust last time and I doubt he will understand now.

He is also living in a community where profit is valued, not something that is evil. Hence the bewilderment of members here.

Two, the safety of the building one works in does not affect the quality and amount of work that one does, so the amount which one earns should not differ depending on the safety of the building.

Wrong, it's governed by the law of supply and demand.

Quality and amount of work one does is a factor, but is not the sole factor. Increased Workplace safety may impede profitability of a corporation and their ability to pay their workers.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Exactly.

And thus, you may have to choose between an expensive earthquake-proof building and building that are cheap but unsafe.
2877  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Mtgox problems (lost money) on: March 18, 2011, 03:55:17 AM

I wonder if the Mt. Gox index's going down recently has also something to do with the earthquake.

I think x reason cause y change in MtGox's price.

According to wikipedia.org and Satoshi's paper, the original idea of cryptocurrency came from Dr. Wei Dai

He's probably a western with Chinese origin.

What a miserable choice.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.
