Indeed, but the art component (as in: relevance within the zeitgeist, social commentary, emotional message etc.) of these movements, while subversive, didn't hinge on the express illigality of the act itself. Grafitti is beautiful va

Ah hah! Now _that's_ a conundrum... How can it be grafitti if it's not subversive? Grafitti as art would vanish in a puff of logic.

Maybe they did something silly that had no real consequences, but the browser should face consequences.

Simply put: It's when you extend the mathematical system by applying an operation to all eligible elements in the system (for example by redefining which elements are amendable to a given operation, like sqrt(-1)) Logic example (transi

If the validation process to obtain a certificate is rigorous then you have little deniability if and when you are held accountable for any shenanigans. Where I work, if the process to obtain a certificate is rigorous enough, certain entrus

To adress your aside: If twitter uses EV somewhere end non-EV elsewhere (depending on geolocation) then I'd wager they do it to comply minimally to the juridistiction in which they serve requests, that is: minimise legal exposure by fo

Probably yes. More probably if the interaction was validated with an EV-cert.

Obviously the law applies regardless of certificate type, but your ability to prove claims is affected.

Essentially yes, but that can be established through other channels in legal proceedings involving large, well established actors. An ev-cert tells the user that the operator of a site has taken pains to make themselves legally accountable,

Well it's expected in contexts where legal responsibilities are defined and widely understood (or misunderstood, depending) and also because it's literally the reason they exist. To quote wikipedia: >An Extended Validation Cert

More trade work, war, education crash, hiring reform... All good means, but what is the end? Lower unemployment? I'll take it, but I'm talking about something slightly different: Happy children (and people in general). If people a

Did this trend start with social media? We are doing lots of stuff to teenagers these days that we didnt do before. They are beholden to expectations far narrower than we were. We treat them as adults in school (by making them responsible f

I don't have time to socratically convince you of it, so i'll just spell it out: you can't tolerate intolerance of groups, persons or behaviors (that don't infringe on other people's liberty) in a _democracy_ becaus

Inscrutable models? Check. "I know it when i see it" success criteria? Check. Unjustified optimism? Check. Sounds more like alchemy than experimental physics to me.

Of course, in hindsight you "only" have to calculate the Levehnstein distance between any product name and _all other_ product names on the store. That scales well. In order to close one single avenue for fraudulent advertisement.

Trust is hard. It cannot be automated, it's inherently social and demands vigilance. This is as true IRL as it is online and on "curated" federations (of software, news, contacts etc). The "killer app" for trust is

It's not about human readability, it's about separating implementation from representation, so "readable without any software" is a good test for wether it's "readable with any sfotware". If your document

Oh, well then could you point me to a formal definition of the syntax and semantics for the unary "..." operator then? What is then domain and codomain, for example? Much obliged.

I believe the confusion is spread across several layers. For those in the know, infinite decimal expansion is syntactic sugar for a limit over a particular infinite series of sums, but this convention sidesteps how people are taught syntact

I disagree, I think we've had nothing but. In the developed world, we can't see the forest for the trees. Our gauges are centered elsewhere, and we can't even imagine ever running out. But we do see what people are saying, an

This is only suprising (or outrageous) under the assumption that we live in a global civil rights society. Only commerce is more or less global because it directly serves the interests of states around the world. Is normal.

Some of it are my own frustrations from first or second hand experience. I'm just young enough that I was a teenager during the later years of the statistic (allthough I probably weighed against the trend except for the driving part).

I think we passed the turning point some years ago when the medical community decided that harm reduction is more important than patient compliance. As long as doctors insist, the rest of society will come around eventually. Of course, it t
