You are looking at the acceleration but without looking at the initial state.

Doula (δουλα) in modern Greek is female slave.

Wikipedia: "Socialism is a political, social and economic philosophy encompassing a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and democratic control or workers' self-management of enterprise".

Which is not "...characterised by government giving handouts".

It does try to convey something in words in the next chapters, no?

I felt the english version was ambiguous so I read the original finnish version. It says that press reports that the trial is aborted earlier than planned is false, and for the time being there is no decision to extend it.

What do you mean by more than 100% margin?

If you sell something for 150$ and it cost you 30$ your gross margin is (150-30)/150=80%.

The problem is not if someone merges a PR before you push, but if someone branches off of the current tip of master, works on it, you remove that tip, and your colleague now is based on a history that doesn't exist, has to resolve your conflicts.

And Google participating in EU market is voluntary. If it doesn't like the laws or the power of the EU investigators, it can choose to take its business elsewhere.

I don't believe they are entirely independent, but there's nothing you can look outside your window that will change any mathematical theorem.

But if at some point further decimals cannot be experimentally proven to be right, at best you can say "pi is such and such for such precision" and any definition that gives the same number up to that precision must be accordingly accepted. Otherwise you need to demonstrate an experiment that uses further precision.

But we don't do that, and that's why mathematics don't have to do with experience, they are an entirely different tool that also happens to be useful in experimental science.

At some point mathematical objects are defined with meta-mathematical definitions (axioms etc), so we can accept definitions based on those terms.

But in any case. You obviously do not believe that mathematical objects exist in the first place and it the question is ill posed based on your concept of reality and existence.

That's understandable, but the debate is about which is the right definition of existence reality etc. If you are not interested in this discussion and know the answers then you have nothing to gain from this paper or this discussion.

The concept of prime numbers and the prime numbers themselves is a different thing.

Unicorns don't exist but statements about them aren't meaningless. Fictionalism accepts the concept of mathematical entities but denies their existence in the real world.

If a mathematical statement did not have a corresponding experimental test would you dismiss it? What about those?

You think that they are confusing the term exists but the reality is that what "exists" means is very hard to define.

Where is the line between abstract objects and the real world you mentioned? Can you give a rule that separates the two?

Do black holes exist? Electrons? Magnetic fields? Is one of these a model but doesn't really exist?

One of the problems with the Canadian tax law, was that Canada has to remain competitive to the same-language speaking country south of its borders that has a bigger and more advanced stock exchange. It is explained in the last section of your second link.

The same problems will not be necessarily manifested if the law is applied in the US, especially if Canada has similar laws. However, the points of the first link seem to hold.

What happened to CSV?

We already have regulations for things like safety, so it all depends on how seriously you think of the matter, and how well you think the government will be able to regulate it.

It isn't at all different. The amount of money the entrepreneur didn't invest into the next company or spent, is the amount he will be taxed as wealth.

This way, the entrepreneur has incentive to spend it or do more investments instead of keeping it in the bank where it would be taxed.

This incentive leads to inequality decreasing by the economy being more active.

it's very common in javascript to have chained methods, to be able to do things like

    _(array)
    .compact()
    .map(function(x) {
       return x * x;
    })
    .filter(function(x) {
        return x > 100;
    }).value()

(example from underscore/lodash)

The problem with this is to be able to add a custom function to this pipeline, you have to extend the prototype of the library with your own functions, or re-implement it.

Extending the prototype is considered bad practice for a lot of reasons, for example due to polluting code in other modules or upstream changes breaking your code.

If instead of chaining methods we chained functions we are left with this awkward syntax:

    custom(filter(map(compact(array), function(x) {
         return x * x;
    }), function(x) {
         return x > 100;
    }));

it's much cleaner to write it like this:

    compact(arr)
    |> map(function(x) {
        return x * x;
    })
    |> filter(function(x) {
        return x > 100;
    })
    |> custom
