IMO, if ads stopped across all internet sites, or the online advertising industry completely collapsed. The internet as we know it, would be gone
Then everyone would be trying SEO, even more than they are now.
They are the canary in the coal mine regarding confidence in make nothing/print money western economies.
Why
How has this being a global economy made it easier for Americans to go to Western Europe for example to work? Not a damn bit.
To be fair, it's not always easy for a Western European to find work in Western Europe either......
Other countries are just waiting for it all to collapse and pick our bones.
Other countries are all copying with their own deficit spending.
we had enough regulation already, look where it got us.
To the most economically, technologically and military powerful nation the planet?
We also had plenty of immigration. America is a nation of immigrants, it's ok.
That is, the person you're communicating the concepts with presumably knows enough about what you're talking about to be able to resolve the ambiguity.
Yes, humans are much, much better at resolving ambiguities. Compared to computers.
TFA tries to make the case (poorly) that Math involves ambiguities and Programming does not.
I've been trying to think of how this could be, and the only thing I can think of is the syntax of math is less formal than the syntax of programming. In programming, each command is clearly defined, whereas in English there's some ambiguity about the meaning of the word 'is.'
I don't think this has any real practical effect on math.
If anything it's slackened off significantly since MS lost their complete dominance of consumer computing.
And since Windows has become less painful to use. Remember when threats like Nimda and Code Red spread around the internet freely, without any user interaction? In those days, Windows was an open door to malware, when it didn't crash on its own.
As much as I prefer Linux, I recognize that Windows has improved a lot.

(That's the forecast anyway)
What really matters is who did it and why.
What, exactly, do you expect that to accomplish?
Even in the US? I've never seen internet access on a US flight.
Every US flight I've been on in the last six months had internet access.
So why do all the media call the SU-25 a fighter? Maybe it's just standard incompetence and ignorance, but you should always ask "cui bono?"
When the question is, "are the media incompetent and ignorant?" The answer is almost always yes. John Stewart has built a career on that fact.
one former Carter administration officiel even made money from a book he wrote trying to blame it on Reagan
American politics: where everyone is certain the other party is trying to ruin the world and oppress them.
The system was down for backups from 5am to 10am last Saturday.
