Where in the document does it actually grant you copyright license to the source code or other IP in question? The only language that's close to a grant of license is:

"Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified copies of this license document, and changing it is allowed as long as the name is changed."

Notice nowhere in the WTFPL is the source code, documentation or any other IP other than the license itself actually mentioned. Compare this to the grant in the MIT license:

"Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:"

Of course you could argue "well, everyone knows that it's MEANT to grant license to the source code if you put it in a LICENSE file" but in my experience, lawyers encountering the WTFPL have pretty strongly disagreed with that stance.
Not sure where in Switzerland you are, but Google has a pretty big engineering office in Zurich. :-)

Which is still paternalistic intervention by the government as you defined it. Don't go no-true-scotsman on me by trying to redefine "true" intervention.

And to the contrary, both the SEC and the FTC dictate what types of transactions take place in respective domains - unless you're arguing that the prevention of MLMs and ponzi schemes infringes on your freedoms.
Back in 1970, I worked at a place that had a box about half that size that contained 1 megabyte of core memory – which cost about a megabuck at the time. It was a third-party addon to the 360/50.

You are also not obligated to insert any URL in your browser's address bar, or to install any app. While you aren't obligated to read a billboard, it is illegal to vandalize it.

And spam email is unsolicited, as in email you receive without consent from an entity you've got no relationship with. Not sure what argument you're trying to make, but requesting a URL that then serves ads does not qualify.

Also, by blocking countermeasures to ad-blocking, we've gone from gray area to illegal because of the anti-circumvention laws. This is going to be fun.

> There is a parallel for US persons living abroad. The US is one of the few countries in the world which expects to collect income tax from its nonresident citizens. As in the corporate world, this makes Americans less competitive in the global marketplace, because people from almost any other country take home a greater fraction of their income

In countries with higher incomes taxes than the US (which seems to be most first world countries...), how come the foreign earned income exclusion and the foreign tax credit do not result in US workers in such countries paying the same total income tax as that country's native workers?
Won't this severely affect movies and television? I imagine a huge number of movies and television shows have at least some piece from a classic designer and I can't imagine Hollywood is going to track down who owns the licensing rights for every set piece, building, article of clothing, etc. ahead of time just to show it in the UK.

Last commit was in April, with a couple of unanswered issues (including one from the submitter) asking whether the project is still under development. Also, not sure what the license is for this.

The first thing this reminded me of is Concord, Dave Winer's outliner:

https://github.com/scripting/concord

I've had that sitting in a tab since I read about it on Hacker News a year or two ago. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have been updated since.
You can't charge money on each and every site, it makes no sense for eg. a blog and even if it did - transaction fees would make it infeasible. A blog still costs money to run/host, it has to get paid somehow.

Ads are basically a bad implementation of micropayments that the internet seriously needs.

First company to solve the problem of charging 0.000x per request will become the next Big Thing.

I think only the ISPs would be able to do this though, metered and bandwidth cost sharing, internet as a utility like gas/elecricity.
Personally, I'd rather be asked for a small donation towards the sites running costs than running ad blocker. Unfortunately, this type of option isn't available in all websites or media providers.

Unless there's a method where I can directly pay them with cash or BitCoins. I'm blocking their ads and consuming their service for free. For reasons already mentioned by others.

I'll use Nexus mods as an example (http://www.nexusmods.com/games/). When accessing their site (which I do regularly), their web service tells you that they need ads to survive and offer you a life time ad-free subscription for 2.50GBP. Of course, it only shows when it can detect you're using Ad Blocker Plus. But this is the subscription model that more clients need to use.

YouTube Red (not RedTube... made the mistake of recommending this to a client yesterday) is another similar method. Though everyone knows Google is trolling my browsing habits anyway.
Well I certainly haven't had a cognitive bias or enjoyable experiences with feces, but if you have then sure, that analogy works for you.

Does Chef Watson count? It's actually pretty neat as a consumer tool, it suggests the weirdest things but somehow they taste fine. No idea about the inner workings though

https://www.ibmchefwatson.com/
Give me an option where I can pay you directly for your web service, whether it's a monthly offering or a life time subscription. See my earlier post regarding Nexus Mods.

If I like your site and I continually visit it. I'll shed out cash to consume your service. But not your providers shitty ads.
Feel free to start your own startup and outcompete me with the people that I choose not to hire.

Otherwise, you basically prove me correct.
Version 1.4.0 of uBlock Origin adds the ability to redirect a blocked resource to a local, neutered version of the resource. FuckAdblock is part of the available neutered resources:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/db74ea310b966def35e84...

So a filter like the following one work with uBO 1.4.0 to neuter FuckAdblock on the site:

||fuckadblock.sitexw.fr/fuckadblock.js$script,redirect=fuckadblock.js-3.2.0
I understand your situation and there are a lot of good small websites which depend on ads to survive. However, in case you are using the larger ad networks to generate revenue, you are doing so at the expense of your site visitor. They pay for your site with their privacy (trackers) and their network bandwidth, which can be expensive in the case of mobile. On top of that, these ad networks also sometimes serve malware.
So, everyone who wants to finance a web site through ad revenue needs to consider using add providers like the deck, which serve less bandwidth-using and more trustworthy ads or even self-host reviewed ads and then ask the visitors to not block them.
Currently, I am running adblockers except a few trusted sites. If a site does not allow me using an adblocker, I rather tend to leave the site than to add exception.

Except most of them were actually republican, supporting Provisional Government.

Modern FP thinks of object oriented processes as comonadic. See http://www.haskellforall.com/2013/02/you-could-have-invented... for a good exposition.
What I miss in this kind of articles is more details in how this kind of laws are cooked.

They say "the UK government", OK, but who in the UK government, and who is really behind. Not that we don't know, but making the process explicit would be helpful.
> if anything to stop them from saying "I will never do X and they will never catch me".

There is a big difference between "I won't talk about my crime after the fact and make catching me easy" and "Not talking about my crime means they will never catch me."

I'm not stupid--arrogance is the downfall of many a criminal. If I commit a crime, there will be smart people trying to get me. No action will guarantee that I would never be caught. However, I can make it a lot more difficult for someone trying to catch me if I try not to do patently stupid things like actively confessing to someone.
Then don't? Just ask for a donation if you think the website is useful and enjoyable (I'm cross referencing posts alot in this article, but see what I said earlier about NexusMods).

I don't expect people will want to pay just to log into your site and that's not a business model they want to use. But if I can pay an optional $0.50C for every site I regularly frequent to skip their ads. Which assists them in providing a web service or content I want to consume. That's the road I will take.

I want to help the content creators but I won't consume their advertisement material.

HBO is following a vastly saner path with John Oliver, whose videos simply appear on YouTube. I'm not generally a fan of single-vendor consolidation, but if:

1. Video providers aren't going to directly provide media and...

2. YouTube Just Works (including via scrapers such as youtube-dl), well, then so it goes.

NB: ytdl also hits a ton of other sites, including Vimeo and The Internet Archive (which, truth told supports direct download and streaming, but ytdl is in finger memory now). Those that Just Work will be utilised.
Most deep tracking done these days are not by means of ads being served, as the advertisers themselves lack the means of doing any meaningful analysis and don't have the reach, but rather tracking is done much more efficiently by very common utilities, like by Google Analytics, or the Facebook Like, Twitter's Tweet, or Google's +1 buttons. Heck, any third-party service can be a very good tracker. Are you also blocking Gravatar and Disqus? Because you should.

And nowadays you've got an "advertising ID" being exposed by the operating systems themselves, an ID that all apps can use to track your behavior across the net. I know of at least Windows 10, iOS and Android that do this. And this is actually a step up, as before the "advertising ID" apps were using much more persistent forms of identification.

And I'm all for being privacy conscious, personally I'm downright paranoid. But lets be honest, ad-blocking isn't about being privacy conscious.
hm you might have a point there, it's probably doable with lighter tablets like kindles

If you use the word "capitalism" to refer to some set of actual or proposed "laws of nature" (presumably, about the operation of economies) you aren't using the word to mean either what the critics that coined the term of the modern proponents of "capitalism", or basically anybody else talking about it mean by the term, which has always referred to an economic system, that is, a set of high-level policy covers about how the economy should be organized and governed. So, on this regard, you are literally not speaking the same language as any body else when it comes to that issue.
From the README:

"Shem is a new compiled-to-JS, statically typed, pure-by-default functional programming language. The semantics are based on Haskell but the language evaluates strictly in a similar way to PureScript."

The document, unfortunately, doesn't go deeper into what about the semantics are derived from Haskell. A better HN title might be "Shem: a Statically Typed Compile-to-Javascript LISP".

The analogy is weak. You are not vandalizing the ads if you're blocking them. When you vandalize the billboard, no one else can read it. When you block ads on your own computer/network, no one else is affected.

And you are on windows. The tooling for linux is awful. Monodevelop fails to compile if you add another F# source file to your project. You have to modify the project file manually to make the project compile correctly.

I'm a huge fan of F#. I ported some old racket program to it, and ended up with a shorter, faster program that looked better. But constantly having to struggle with the tooling just makes me want to go back to DrRacket.
Those are the same thing when the target is a power of 2.
It's a range. The exaggerations are there to make you think about things differently. One man's answer to "verbal abuse" is another man's "patronizing dishonesty". You've taken my hyperbole too literally. Statements like, "I value honesty. OP values dishonesty." are meant as a playful jest to make you question the value of honesty in modern society. There is no one going out and complaining that patronizing employees is morally wrong, because the vocal majority on the matter does not represent these people. There is no voice in defense of brutal sincerity. The point of all of this is simply to shed light on different values as was stated in my original post. My thesis does not revolve around the existence of a dichotomy, it revolves around the fact there is more than just the one set of values.
Isn't it in-app advertising? If so then it's even worse. My understanding is that cookies are not shared across apps, so the advertiser on app1 cannot correlate your identity with the one on app2, defeating cross-app tracking (the app equivalent of cross-website tracking). If you make it a central, Appled owned (i.e. access to much more information) then you re-enable cross-apps tracking.
"TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION" pretty clearly applies to the package accompanied by the license. I looked at the Wikipedia page and this wasn't raised as one of the objections. Do you have a link to some lawyer complaining about that? If the OSI lawyers said it's equivalent to a public domain dedication, that seems useful in countries that don't have a public domain.

I hope you guys are aware that the ads are an analogy for a group of people.
This is how most advertising platforms work. Google and Facebook, for example, serve the ads themselves and don't give your information to the advertisers because that'd help the advertisers target you better without the help of Google. It still means they all collect and store a whole bunch of incredibly intrusive tracking information; for example, if I recall correctly iAd tracks and stores your GPS location to target you with ads.

Conceptually and per unit measurement the force of gravity is many orders of magnitude weaker than the force of electromagnetism. No argument there.

But that's just not the way the force of gravity is thought about by humans, because the gravitational effect is so small as to be undetectable between human-scaled bodies. So we attribute gravity to more massive things, and consider it only en masse, never divisibly.

To the extent that the gravitational force of the earth has measurable effects on more things than the electromagnetic force of the refrigerator magnet, it is more...spread out. More distributed. More diffused.

It follows the same inverse square law as everything else, but it does a lot more of it, over human-scaled distances.

And this is how high school physics teachers can be counterintuitively correct, but I think the takeaway is more about how hopeless humans are at conceptualizing very large numbers than about physics.
I did. I looked at the paper and my description of it is accurate, including the reported p=0.07.

Ah, sorry, I misread your comment. Indeed, a browser that doesn't respect cross-domain restrictions is a poorly written browser.

My point still stands, though: the point of cookieless domains is not security, but bandwidth. And there are legitimate reasons to have top-level domain cookies - sharing authentication state between subdomains is a common example - which would prevent a subdomain from being used as a CDN, without receiving cookies.

'Fairly bad core bug' crushed in Linux 4.4-rc5
I don't know why you would think that an upward trend in IQ scores necessarily contradicts a claim that we are adding neurotoxins to our environment. We've been doing that for many decades; it's entirely possible that we're doing less of it now, and yet the amount we're still adding is still having significant effects.

As for why a downward trend in IQ wasn't noted in the first half of the 20th century, when we were ramping up our production of neurotoxins, that can easily be put down to improvements in nutrition.

It's not inconsistent to note that, even though things are getting better, they're still not as good as they could be.
It's described in the video. They're playing single-player games; control rotates between eight players as the game's scrolling advances. Players have to coordinate to hand off control as they cross the borders, without the in-game character hesitating and getting shot or falling into a pit. The multiplexing is done outside of the actual NES, so its native capabilities don't matter.

2004 is not current for XFS, that is a decade ago! However, disks finishing writes and not lying about having done it is a critical need for all FS. For some like ext3 you would notice it less as it was flush happy.

XFS is becoming the sane default filesystem for servers as it allocates nodes more consistently than the other current mainstream linux options on multidisk systems. Basically small servers now have more disk space and performance than the large systems of 2004. So XFS stayed put in where it starts to make sense, but systems grew to meet its sweetspot much often.
To me, the long term trend in copyright legislation is the perfect quite example of how our system is broken.
