I'd love to know what percentage of those CSAM numbers are inflated by 14-17 yrs old sharing their own pictures (and their SOs leaking to someone else w/o permission) versus what most of the people imagine when government yells "CP!!!"

You know what, you're right, I won't dispute his incapacity to correctly read the classics. I took offense to the attack on the question of falsifiability, which is philosophically miles ahead of anything else that came out of Europe in the last 2 centuries (barring, of course, wittgenstein himself)

If 2 out of 3 critics that you found are ad-hominem attacks, I can rest tranquil that Popper is a safe read.

"Is the falsifiable concept falsifiable" -> why yes of course, just prove that something not falsifiable can be provably false...

I used to be a libertarian, but reading about international organized crime made me realize we do need the state because these people won't be stoped by NAP principle-touting ideologues. financial havens definitely and provably assist in building organizations that can subvert governments, and not in favor of your freedoms I assure you.

Cool!

Little offtopic highjacking: does it make sense to "bootstrap" correlation among stock returns (frankly, any multidimensional time series, but since we're talking about stocks) with different time periods?

Say, for any pair of stock a and b, randomly selecting a startint point and a period (N days) and using this as a better estimator for the "true" correlation instead of using all the data points? Or something like this, not this process exactly
