Because the effect of the technological measures is an arms race; presumably, universally so. It's a net negative. The article captures the principle in a nutshell.

I directionally agree, but i suspect your 95th-percentile anchoring is wildly optimistic. Embarrassing admission: I'm probably much closer to the middle of the open-mindedness chart than i pretend. (I wish i was Bertrand Russell.) Indi

Welcome to HN. This comment is so unwelcome here it's ridiculous. Before you barge in, have the courtesy to synchronise with the ethos. If you are a sockpuppet account, then why do you feel the need? If you want to insult people, you c

Hi @dang, the reason I've flagged this account is not this comment itself, but the extremely suspicious account with the same creation date that posted vile abuse to arionhardison.

Commiserations on the abuse from that sockpuppet. Please don't let it dent your enthusiasm for the community: you are welcome, and i wish you long life and health.

No, that's not present in my comment, or in my value system. It is not the specifics of your beliefs, or my attitude to them, that has earned my scorn. I could have guessed your beliefs... but i didn't. I used "laissez faire&

A scripting engine is a great feature in cad, you should be proud of your achievement. The reason I'm not personally interested is that i used lisp in AutoCAD in the 00s. What i like most about lua is that it's not php. It's

Meh, the text isn't setting the attitude -hence, people railing against homosexuality while wearing polycotton slacks. The issue is susceptibility to dogma, which is an attack vector. An attacker uses this to gain root, then they can p

Apologies for not being clear - that was the impersonal "you", meaning "people in general". And i think it's correct in the general case, because both ATX and ITX point the extra bulk towards the edge of the mobo. W

I guess you'd agree with Bertrand Russell that "it's never an advantage to believe something that isn't true". It is one of my favourite quotes. However, i think it only holds amongst intellects of his calibre. I&#x

You don't need 8 mobo shots: 4 in use, 3 interstitial. {Although my experience with retail mobos is that your only get two x16.) The case, otoh, sounds like a dremel job

Thanks, now i understand you. I didn't think of that because it's insane, but maybe i am just old.

That's a calumny. Anarchy is not what you end up with when government becomes febrile and vapid - that would be warlordism. I'll give you a gold star for deconstructing the word roots, but "anarchy" is a term of art. The

Sorry, still don't understand. The dom is not complete until JavaScript has run, no? So the ublock extension can do dom traversal on the rendered page, but the proxy can only operate at the request level. I assume your not running a he

I'm keen to see this simple script, and to understand why it's simple given that ublock origin finds it hard.

> hosting costs I think you missed that, in my last comment, and _in every word of the article_. You insist on a semantic equivalence that straddles two disjoint behaviours which incur vastly different cost profiles on publishers. Fishin

"Anarchy" in that phrase is fucking wrong. Unsophisticated people assume that anarchy means "no rules", which is false. It means no rulers, not no rules. (More precisely, it means no non-rulers.) A better term would be &

I think this says more about dwindling police budgets than about the efficacy of surveillance or bobbies on the beat.

In Spanish supermarkets, it's tins of shellfish in the anti-theft boxes. In English ones, it's razor blades and menstrual pads. Spirits are often tagged in both countries, but not as consistently as the mejillones and the tampons.

No, it's metric. Our schools are flooded with 30cm rulers. You'll see kids as young as 8 with 330ml drinks. Some even count in decimal - there is no end in sight

You both miss the crux of the argument, i think. It would be more precise to say that physical machines raise the standard of living that we measure, but abstract machines reduce that which we don't measure. (Viz, finance.) Compared to
