transitivity

Is there not a lot of non-transitivity, where three players would consistently beat the next like A>B>C>A?

When you specify the types of the numbers used, so that you are testing the transitivity of a single instance of Eq, you will find that transitivity does hold in this case.

See the famous happens-before relationship which involves notions of sets (of executions), transitivity, partial ordering, etc.

Rational choice theory assumes only complete partial ordering, transitivity and that irrelevant alternatives are independent.

This is because polygons don't obey the transitivity property, because you can have cyclic overlap.

Business going from microsoft to blackberry seems like it would have been the interesting spin, even if it requires a bit of transitivity.

By transitivity, ad publishers should (theoretically or indirectly) care about whether Google treats its users well as it would have some positive correlation with their viewership volume.

It might not be healthy but I think that it's almost surely more healthy than gut surgery and by transitivity than staying obese.

What happens when a dependency adds new transitivity dependencies?

The system need be no more complex than first-order Peano arithmetic, which is the Peano axioms (reflexivity, transitivity, succession, etc.) combined with the concept of induction.

But most importantly, the idea of making "trust" graphs using a weak form of transitivity needs to die.

(All finite partially-ordered sets have maximal and minimal elements.) This seems profoundly counterintuitive to me; both the asymmetry and transitivity of the "is smarter than" relation seem almost axiomatic (and the irreflexivity is indisputable).

It might not be healthy but I think that it's almost surely more healthy than gut surgery and by transitivity than staying obese." You're bound to lose weight, but the following is perfectly consistent thermodynamically: "all your muscle wastes away before your fat, then you die, then you can't keep up burning more than you eat".

Shitty languages will cause devs to have to purchase books entitled "ShittyLanguage: The Non-Shitty Parts", wherein chapter 8 talks about "avoid using the subtraction operator because of ambiguous precedence, transitivity, and coercion rules; instead use jQuery.minus()."
