       @futurebird there was a segment on BBC radio 2 (UK public radio) today with a load of people whining about how they were rubbish at maths, but had to do maths.Some woman said "Why do I need to know  Pythagorus, why can't they teach me useful maths?" and I shook my head... If they can't get you to understand that basic idea from many centuries ago, you've no hope with anything complex enough to be useful.

       @futurebird @lufthans yes, because multiplication works regardless of the order of operation. So 5 x 50 x 5000 == 5000 x 50 x 5 == 50 x 5000 x 5, etc. So 0.05 x 5000 == 5000 x 0.05. And so that stuff above also works. (it's also why you do the divisions first (BODMAS))

       @aral So in your world, how do you sell a customer a thing, without having to have a salesman call them? Oh wait, phone numbers can't be collected either, without permission... Yes, many sites are using it for adverts, but lots are also trying to sell a product that isn't the browser.

       @aral @fabienmarry @codinghorror That's a better solution, and then you only meet the committee notice when you add something to a basket, or log in, or whatever. A bit like auto blocking those "Follow this website?" notifications until you at least interact with the website!

       @futurebird And my, how we laughed and clapped our hands at how clever we were, forcing them to talk to each other!
