> Beating people up isn't market activity - it's at least borderline criminal.

The beauty of the example is that you don't have to beat people up. What is only needed is A to risk more than B and C.

The point was though you cannot prevent this kind of activity taking place on the market (it can actually be reformulated through money and investment, existence of which also requires 3 parties). So by using 2-party model only, you are missing a good chunk of reality here.

>define $EQUIVALENCE [...] and then mention $PROPERTY

When you keep pointing back to "a x b = b+b...+b", as The Definition without including the properties, it means you're mixing up the orthography[0] of multiplication with the real underlying idea of multiplication.

A math definition includes that all properties must simultaneously be true. It's the limitations of writing (orthography[0]) that we state things one thing before the other. The phrase "and then" used as a sequential condition is not applicable. Instead, if all properties are true, you thus have the definition.

Here's another "definition"[1] that states the summation in reverse order: "In simple algebra, multiplication is the process of calculating the result when a number a is taken b times."

e.g. "when a number 5 is taken 3 times" ... which is the
repeated addition the child carried out.

That wikipedia stated multiplication as "a x b = b+b...+b" while Wolfram MathWorld stated it as "a is taken b times." is a difference in orthography and not definition. Unfortunately, you're working backward from an arbitrary orthography and judging the child to be wrong.

Obviously, none of us know what specific language he used in talking to the bank, and IANAL, but if the bank said something along the lines of "here's the contract we'd like you to sign", and he replied along the lines of "here's the contract I've signed that I'd like you to sign", it would be acting in bad faith to not tell the bank you've changed the contract.

Not at all. Bank clients are also afforded similar protection. There's a concept known as an unconscionable contract, which is a contract that a reasonable person would not sign.

Courts generally take a dim view of the enforceability of any contract which wasn't actively agreed to and understood by both parties. And that's why I don't worry, when I click that I have read and understood some agreement that I definitely haven't, that I might be agreeing to being part of a human centipede.
If you're on minimum wage with dependents, you made some bad decisions. There are people that have been working minimum wage for 10 years. Those people are stupid. It doesn't take much, other than showing up, to get a raise at McDonalds. All of this Marxist drivel fails to recognize the critical truth: people are responsible for their own failures. We like to blame 'the Man' but ultimately it IS your fault if you're poor. With the entirety of human knowledge at one's fingertips, it's amazing how people who are poor spend so much time on Facebook and so little time learning anything. As a poor person if they've ever took a free online Stanford course. Ask them if they have ever seen dancing with the Stars. Ask them who Bruce Jenner is. As them who the Speaker of the House is. Being poor is not a circumstance: not having money is a circumstance, being poor is a mindset. I've been broke, living in a car for months, but I was never poor. Some people choose to be poor their entire life. I have no use or sympathy for those people for whom ignorance is a choice.

At the same time a lot of things that used to be regarded as commonly available utility have been removed or privatized/enclosed. For example, community - cf "Bowling for Columbine", green spaces, time to spend with family, affordable housing.

Seems like the solution to this problem is to keep raising the minimum wage until Google, Apple, etc. who have BILLIONS locked up away from the economy start spending it.

Yes, you're correct. You need this syntax when the borrow checker forces you to add this dependency, i.e. when you're stuffing one reference inside another, or swapping references, or whatever.

This is why elision is so awesome, it takes care of almost all the cases where you need a "regular" lifetime specification on a function. When elision doesn't works usually there is something you need to specify.

The subtyping works for callers; lifetimes get stretched and sqeezed to fit the function signature. But the function body itself won't compile when you're doing things like stuffing references into other references unless the lifetimes are right.

Considering how many distros have adopted systemd, of whom I am willing to bet most of their devs "understand" Linux and aren't completely against systemd, I would not say that they are happy with it because they don't understand it.
It's simple to say "let's have a fatter cow". It is not simple to say "let's have a more intelligent human" because "intelligent" is not a fixed or agreed term.

100 years ago people would have thought mental arithmetic, memorization and rhetorical speech were core parts or indicators of intelligence. I think that most people today would see creative problem solving, social empathy and long term planning as more indicative. In fact the 19th century indicators are now seen (in popular culture) as part of a disorder (autistic spectrum) that is often used to explain the behaviour of otherwise incapable people.

Our culture, communities and technology define our humanity, creating a greater humanity through breeding misses the point somewhat.
> The economic answer would be that the possible costs it could impose on you can be expressed as violations of your property rights

Let me explain a specific example: If a person A cheats person B out of his money, it affects me negatively. It poses a risk in the future that person A, being a cheater, will repeat this many times and eventually will have enough money to cheat me. (Both B and me will agree to be cheated by A at the time when we will be cheated, yet it won't be our preference. Kind of like getting a forced move by check in chess.)

Now I am not sure your claim, that this problem can be expressed as property rights, is correct. At very least, these would have to be collective property rights. In fact, I think what we are getting here, if we are to express this correctly as property rights, to is state control over transactions, in one way or another.

> Being absurd doesn't necessarily make it less philosophically valid.

I would say it's a good way not to be taken seriously, but YMMV.

> On a more concrete level, the rejection of quantifiable utility is based on rejection of the extra assumptions it requires.

Which is a bullshit excuse. We have mathematical capabilities to deal with these kinds of problems - probability, fuzzy logic, whatever. It's just laziness of economists to show that the free market assumptions hold under these new assumptions. (To be fair, it's probably not laziness, I doubt they would hold.)

In particular, we can model things like this in computers. I don't know of much cases where this was actually done, but I heard that free market in silico very quickly collapsed into an oligopolic mess.

Anyway, your assumptions should be close to the real world as much as possible. That should be the criteria for choosing them. It's a nice curiosity to have free markets work under some weird, unrealistic assumptions, but it's rather useless in the real world.
By the way, I never said that I think there are too many humans on Earth. This is a populist viewpoint, and it is not one I share. Even with current technology I believe the Earth could sustain > 10,000,000,000 humans with the caveat that humanity recognises which activities are unsustainable and alters its collective behaviour possibly through regulation if people won't voluntarily change their lifestyles.

Examples: increased urbanisation, cutting meat consumption to increase the amount of land for crops, increased shared use of transport, assuming hydrocarbons and peat-bogs are semi-scarce non-renewable resources then transition away from them as sources of energy to renewables, travel less by using telecommunication, and so on.
He's not saying what you read:

No-one is saying that's a bad thing. What's bad is that it does this automatically without your consent, so long before you can even disable it, it's already leaking data.

What's even worse is that it also send potentially sensitive data that appear in exceptions to bugsnag.com and AFAIK, there's no way to disable that by disabling the metrics collection. In fact they don't seem to tell you about it at all.

I am amazed that their response to adblockers is more targetted ads. My main reason for using an adblocker isn't to block ads, which don't bother me that much. It is to block tracking accross websites. Telling me that they will do more tracking in response isn't really going to change my mind...
Probably but the conversion rate between expert recommendations and policy is already so abysmal it's probably not worth it.

... but it may change most minds. What bothers me about advertising is the visual noise, which amounts to a pollution of my environment. Better advertising can help reduce the need to rely on pure attention-sucking and so reduce the urge to block ads entirely.

I don't give a damn about tracking. All the doomsday scenarios that those in the anti-tracking camp imagine have not come to pass.

But there's no compile-time validation of malloc() and free()---there aren't even strict run-time checks, right, it's possible for freeing an invalid pointer to quietly corrupt memory instead of segfaulting, right?

I don't think it's at all easy to recognize where people's political lines are. There are only two parties that can win, Democrat and Republican. This goes to the question of, "What is diversity in this context? More Republicans in academic positions?" I don't think so.

I think the fact that people are in the Democratic vs Republican party is related to their views on power (and winnability, but only 2 parties really win) rather than their views on politics. It just so happens right now that the Republican party collects votes with denial of climate change or evolution. The Republican party has made itself hostile to science, in that to back its claims, it has had to say that academia is engaged in a conspiracy to lie, and that academia brainwashes children into being liberal.

So regardless of your political beliefs, in terms of your power beliefs, voting Democrat is a good choice for those in academics. If Democrats started advocating for benefits for electricians, I'm sure we'd have more Democrats there. That does not mean that the political beliefs and attitudes of electricians are shifting. Does it surprise anyone that working in the petroleum industry strongly predicts political party?

There are also other reasons why the Republican party is quite difficult to support, like their lack of positive regard for secularism. You can't argue with the Texas GOP platform when it's splattered with God and Christian issues.

Take a skim through this Texas party platform document published 3 years ago.

> detect adblock

One does not simply "detect adblock". Browsers are user agents. They run code in an environment optimized for user safety and convenience. These environments will always be able to tell your site's server- and client-side code exactly what it wants to hear while showing something different to the user. You can't stop it. The client will always win.

We may eventually get to the point where clients use various computer vision techniques to recognize ads. If I can clearly distinguish jiggling, improbably large elf anatomy below a flashing yellow "PLAY THIS ONLINE RPG" from content I want to see, so can an algorithm, at least to within an acceptable error rate.

Advertisements that are so borderline that they can't be detected as advertisements are ones I probably don't mind seeing anyway.

Spammers have already tried all available countermeasures and they've completely lost. Spam is so completely ineffective that it's actually dipped below half of email traffic.

No, the client will always win in the end.

Don't care. Nothing shall be changed. You're on your own, guru3d.
The Austrian law you're quoting isn't a law sitting all by itself. It's part of a law saying "No Nazis, and no bullshitting about what they did"[1]. If you look at your own quote, you'll see it says "grossly plays down". The scale of the Holocaust was large - there was a heap of physical evidence, and tens of thousands of eyewitnesses. And it's not a topic that has had little research - to characterise the story of the holocaust as springing forth from the mouths of politicians is grossly misleading.

Denying the holocaust altogether is not research - it's an attempt to stifle research for political gains. It moves the needle from 'what actually happened' to 'did it happen at all', wasting resources - the same needle-moving tactics are seen in intelligent-design and anti-climate-change arguments, stopping productive conversation on a topic to further a political goal.

Finally, note that these laws limiting freedom of speech around holocaust denial are particular to that topic and nazism. The 'slippery slope' argument hasn't taken hold; it's not these laws that are limiting freedom of speech (hell, even with "the American concept of free speech" you still have Free Speech Zones, National Security Letters, and copyright that lasts for author's life + 70 years). The laws don't stop you from doing research into the shitty things the Allies did. They don't stop you researching Nazism in general or the Holocaust in particular. They only stop you playing politics from pretending that something does't exist when it has tens of thousands of eye-witnesses, troves of physical evidence, and heavy existing research on the topic.

Europe has a problem with violent nationalism; cutting off this particular avenue helps alleviate that, and doesn't do harm in return. These laws make Nazism (and it's trappings) less able to be used politically, something Europe is serious about - see Merkel's recent chiding of Netanyahu for him claiming that it was Palestinians who started the holocaust. How often do you see a head of government declare "Those atrocities, they're on us, not anyone else"?

I'm not recommending it, but this would be a passable copy protection scheme for the web if you combined it with a css animation where you were only showing some (half?) of the pixels at once and using the eye's natural ability to interpolate images from a rapid succession of images.

Because it's written in js, you could download the jpg like a normal file and do it all client side, so there wouldn't be any penalty from the conversion. But still don't do it. A business probably has bigger problems if it needs to use copy protection.

Are you sure that ad blockers are the only variable in play here?

"(October 2014) we had nearly 4.5 million hits (read) on our articles. This year (October 2015) we are at 4.4 million hits...
Where a year ago we served 375~400K pageviews per day, we now register just over 200K pageviews a day."

Is pageviews the actual metric, or is ads served the metric? Given the recent discoveries in how many "ad views" were actually never presented to the reader and were just phony revenue ticks, could it not be that you are also "suffering" from an ongoing reduction in phony ad presentations as the trickery is discovered and addressed?

I block ads primarily to limit tracking and bogus traffic, not to dodge advertising per se. I heartily endorse jfoutz's suggestions here. If you continue to serve quality content, it's the more sustainable business model long-term anyway.

Years before the modern ad-network paradigm, many media sites were subscription from the outset (e.g. WSJ, mercurynews). Some later went free, using ad networks to pay the way. Now, the trend is moving back to a subscription model. Those sites that do the punitive block-ads-and-we-block-you (e.g. washingtonpost) will find that people just go elsewhere for those stories.
