Re: Is this a cost thing or legal thing?
It's a tax thing.
There are lot fewer ways of avoiding tax for the regular worker than in the USA.
So workers that were in high demand went to their employers and said - I'm out of here, rehire me on monday as a contractor for the same amount and job/desk.
The employer avoids social insurance contributions and sick/holiday pay.
The contractor gets to pay themselves in (was upon a time) 10% taxed dividends, paid no insurance (because they had zero salary) and claimed their car/spare bedroom/laptop/phone/cat etc as expenses

Re: Book projects generally work out
>No-one at all should back book projects.
>The production cost for an ebook is simply the author's time.
That's precisely why you should back book/album projects.
An artist without a hugely successful publishing deal behind will not be able to afford to take the time to write a book. Even a successful author who wants to write a book in a different genre might not be able to get an advance big enough to live on.
Kickstarter is arguably a better deal for both the artist and the readers/listeners than the traditional publisher model
Did anybody do anything illegal ?
Stupidity isn't necessarily a crime.
I can choose to pay upfront to a kickstarter and take the risk in return for getting it cheaper/earlier or I can wait until it's available at Walmart and buy it with the rest of the punters.
Of course the chance of anyone making a successful electro-mechanical consumer product on their first attempt is zero, but not knowing that is equally the buyers fault.

Re: Intellectual property
>No they wouldn't. You just invalidate all patents from persons/corporations on the Entities List.
The problem is that one tweet can put somebody on the entities list.
If you were a US bank you thought investment in a Canadian aircraft company or an Argentinian steelworks was safe.
Suppose next week Korea or Japan annoy him, Samsung and ARM go on the same list.
If you are a US investor the value of your $Bn in any foreign company could go to $0 tomorrow.
So why would any foreign company list on the NYSE, or trade in $ ?

Staffer representation on our board? LMAO! Good one, cackles Microsoft
Re: Not a good idea
It works in Germany because the large German engineering companies are effectively nationalised. The government, IG Metal and VW get together and agree on lower wages in return for not moving production abroad and the government agrees to set interest rates to accomodate.
What was the plan for Silicon Valley? A nominal 'worker' on the board alongside the nominal women+ethnic minority or an equal voting power with the shareholders?
Not clear that well paid Amazon programmers with $M share options, poorly paid Amazon warehouse workers, original investors/VCs and banks/pension funds are all going to be exactly on the same page.
Huawei with your rural subsidies ban: Chinese comms bogeyman fires sueball at US regulator
Because China has more to lose by losing infrastructure and consumer sales in the West than it gains by getting business at home, especially because no govt dept in China is going to buy Cisco anyway.
It wants a ruling that the US applies US law to US companies irrespective of where their parents are from.
Or more strategically, it forces the US govt to be consistent and ban all Chinese telecoms if it is going to ban Huawei. That means no Lenovo, no Motorola etc

Re: Decca chains
For navigating in your home waters they are rather excellent, although a trifle heavy for carrying while mountaineering.
For dropping precision guided munitions on the fuzzy-wuzzys they are are bit limiting.
Once you have successfully negotiated with the recalcitrant natives to install your navigation beacons it seems rater bad form to then bomb them.
