<p>> I hope you'd agree with the principle through this analogy: an
 adult who looks at pornography would not want to show their child pornography.<p>but its nothing like pornography. were talking about "screen time" which is a vague generic idea, just the same as "social media" encompasses pretty much any major tech companies website/app instead of actual mediums for socializing like IRC, forums etc that were around for decades prior just never called that</p>

<p>again, the US cpi concept of price is the same as the UK one. They look at price, not transaction value you absolute numbnuts. what was all this crap about price in respect to CPI again? or were you thinking something different to what you said again?<p>Quote from <a href="https://www.bls.gov/cpi/questions-and-answers.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.bls.gov/cpi/questions-and-answers.htm</a>
BLS data collectors visit (in person, on the web, or using apps) or call thousands of retail stores, service establishments, rental units, and doctors' offices, all over the United States to obtain information on the prices of the thousands of items used to track and measure price changes in the CPI. We record the prices of about 80,000 items each month, representing a scientifically selected sample of the prices paid by consumers for goods and services purchased.
During each call or visit, the data collector collects price data on a specific good or service that was precisely defined during an earlier visit. If the selected item is no longer available, or if there have been changes in the quality or quantity (for example, a 64-ounce container has been replaced by a 59-ounce container) of the good or service since the last time prices were collected, a new item is selected or the quality change in the current item is recorded.</p>

<p>>but intent supersedes interpretation<p>so dont worry about what i wrote, whats important was what i was thinking? fair enough<p>If market value is the instrinsic value, how could two separate markets get different prices for the same asset?<p>edit: <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/methodologies/consumerpriceinflationincludesall3indicescpihcpiandrpiqmi#methodology-background" rel="nofollow">https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/meth...</a><p>methodology states it is based on prices quoted</p>

<p>>As the quote you offered says, it is measured after.<p>i was quoting you... but you have tried to have it both ways. you said....<p>> Price measures what you are giving up to receive value.<p>notice you didnt say gave, you said giving. There is a price before the "transaction"<p>> Price is not determined until a voluntary transition takes place<p>But we had a price before we made the purchase??? If you swap price with market value in the second quote youre completely right.<p>Market Value is determined in this offer/sell kind of fashion precisely because it ISNT intrinsic.</p>

<p>no go and play with your friends... oh yeah thats right they live miles away and the only way to get hold of them is via a screen but because of hysterical adults (who decry the ills of social media from social media) theyve banned me from using it because it will do general detriment to me much like TV was feared to cause, much like books were feared to cause. This time is no different, hysterical parents</p>

<p>> It was a major clash between the idealistic vision of building global interconnected communities and the financial reality of companies wanting to optimize everything for their own profits.<p>I think its even simpler than that. HTML et al was a nice idea but its largely ignored in the pursuit of making web pages seem like apps.<p>Berners Lee had this idea of documents like pages in a book, nothing like the full-fledged applications in the browser we get today, yet that legacy Berners Lee cruft still remains whilst people find ever more inventive ways to overcome it</p>

<p>> No. I am talking about price. Price measures what you are giving up to receive value.<p>but you said "Price is not determined until a voluntary transition takes place"<p>so does it happen before or after the "transition" takes place? id say price is set before, market value is what actually someone paid for it and comes after</p>

<p>1. Of course its possible, youd just get back encrypted data. This doesnt make it impossible<p>2. You mean "Reliable classification of client-side scanned images is impossible", although you dont actually define reliable. This is besides the point, Im not talking about the actually feasibility of this on a political level, Im asserting a specific technical point that client-side scanning is 100% possible for e2e apps</p>
