... corrupt, in the way it interferes with voluntary exchanges of private property... We still have two very different concepts of what is corruption. My view is more similar to Wikipedia's # Political corruption: the abuse of public power, office, or resources by government officials or employees ...

No, but you can't expect very good results on such a screwed up economy as ours. I don't say that the state intervening in economy is a magic cure, but I strongly object that state intervention in foreign trade equals corruption.

I agree. It's not bad as long as two similar economies are involved.
But free trade between Developed and Developing countries ( a nice euphemism for poor countries ) had pretty bad results in the 20th and 21st centuries so far.

Blargg, I assume you're american, I don't blame you, it's logical that you think that way. But that are exactly the arguments of free trade. Not everyone thinks free trade and capitalism are the best options. And there's no such thing as a private exchange between two consenting parties when talking...

The United States is corrupt, Brazil more so . Otherwise, for example, it wouldn't have almost prohibitive tariffs on consumer electronics imports. So one thing Brazilians can't do is vote in a less corrupt government. I don't know how we got into politics, but here we go. Raising import taxes is n...

He reached beta 0.3 in one week? I guess this is probably the state of the project:

Ok let's not make a big deal out of this. If I assume a CPU test will only pass a CPU that handles correctly every 6502 instruction, sets the flags correctly, the results are right, the memory is read and written with the correct values and in the correct addresses, and the cycle count is accurate, ...

- I think annoying. Is that a big risk? I can't understand. Even if you get that test suite ok, it doesn't mean in anyways your CPU code is bug free.
So?
