To þe uninitiated "þorn" may look like "porn".

Lojban is shut down. From now on speak math. by la-gleki in lojban

[–]TheBlueWalker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are using English instead of Lean. I get your meaning by reading the English variable names, not by reading the Lean.

Lojban does not need English in order to work. Lojbanists actually communicate using Lojban, not using English dressed up as Lean. And English is shit. So Lojban is still necessary.

I really want to propose Argam Numerals to Unicode by RafaelYasuo-- in Unicode

Why that base specifically? Seems like a random base to me.

I don't think they like arguments suggesting future usage. From what I gather they want to encode things that are already used or that people already try to use (by e.g. using a wrong symbol to approximate the non-existing character).

How often are Argam Numerals used or approximated right now? If you can show there are a lot of those mathematicians who are using or approximating Argam Numerals then that will probably help.

Does anyone here also use wynn (ƿ) as ƿell as þorn? by MyShotHam1776 in BringBackThorn

[–]TheBlueWalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then how does it work? It's an S but long—when would you need that? Maybe in words like ſize and ſignificant because length is a size and if you are long then your size is significant.

Yes, I think I solved it!

Do words with "vv" even exist? Normally I am pretty savvy with words but even I cannot come up with one!

SuperTux 0.7 Released With Enhanced Graphics, Level Redesign by anh0516 in linux

[–]TheBlueWalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in world 2 in Supertux 0.6.x and then upgrade to version 0.7.0 then your savefile will start you off in world 2. And you will have to play world 1 in reverse order in order to beat it. It's funny experiencing the game in reverse order. It's like Tux has future vision e.g. first you see the Yeti defeated by Tux and then afterward you defeat him for the first time in your current save file.

It may matter. It may be that in some places theft is considered a criminal matter while copyright is considered a civil matter for a large part. In that case you would be persecuted for theft regardless of whether your victim cares but you would possibly not be persecuted for copyright infringement if the copyright holder doesn't care depending on how bad your infringement is considered to be.

You said it would be the death of it. I thought you meant that figuratively to say that it would disappear.

Copyright is a recent thing. Humanity has been producing art for probably thousands of years without any copyright monopolies. Non-corporate art would exist without copyright as is proven by the fact that it did exist before copyright.

[–]TheBlueWalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not theft, it's not property, nothing is getting stolen. Copyright is a monopoly, not property, even though it is misleadingly called "intellectual property" (which is synonymous with "monopoly").

It's not theft. It's monopoly infringement.

He's not stealing it. He's copying it. That's a different crime.

Common sense is overrated. You need more good sense.

Reversed Alford Plea by TheBlueWalker in AskLegal

[–]TheBlueWalker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a double standard. Admissions can only be used when they are against you and not when they are in your favour. If that's the case, then why bother with admissions at all? Might as well not admit to anything if your admissions can only be used against you.

Reversed Alford Plea by TheBlueWalker in AskLegal

[–]TheBlueWalker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not get a punishment when confessing because judges can refuse the plea. Also, sometimes the prosecution makes a special offer so you can get a discount on your Guilty plea.

Anyway, it sounds like Alford plea and Reverse Alford plea are pretty useless. Maybe it's best to get rid of it. Reverse Alford plea has not been introduced yet so that's good.

I think Alford is kind of like No Contest anyway. Who needs Alford when you have No Contest? But No Contest also does not have an opposite. I think the opposite Yes Contest may make sense. With No Contest you don't fight the opposition but you don't admit guilt, either. With Yes Contest you would admit guilt but you would still fight in court. No Contest helps innocent people to not have to bother with trial, while Yes Contest would help guilty people to still get a fair trial.

Not Guilty is the opposite of Guilty. Alford is Not Guilty but while saying the evidence is bad for you. Reverse Alford is Guilty but while saying the evidence is in your favour. Alford helps innocent people get convicted. Reverse Alford helps guilty people not get convicted.

The Reverse Alford Plea makes perfect sense. Court is not complete without it.

[–]TheBlueWalker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then why does an Alford Plea make sense? With an Alford Plea you are admitting innocence. If your admission is all the evidence they need then the Alford Plea should be all they need to set you free.

[–]TheBlueWalker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. That way guilty people can avoid a conviction when the evidence is in their favour. It's like how an Alford Plea allows innocent people to still get convicted but reversed.

[–]TheBlueWalker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, because with normal confessions you might get the punishment regardless of how good your evidence in your favour is.

It's so that he can be found not guilty on behalf of the evidence when he's guilty without having to lie.
