STM under a concurrent load can be expensive due to how modern CPUs work. Since you are updating values on different CPUs going to have cache invalidation. Then you have the issue if you are doing an expensive calculation in the transaction can cause the same transaction to fail repeatedly leading to starvation.

Appeals to authority are sometimes legitimate. For example, "well, the judge in the last case like this thought..." is a very reasonable appeal to authority for example.

In this case, appealing to a Pulitzer-winning journalist's ability to judge the credibility and possible scope of a story is reasonable.

That's kinda not what people like Whyte at MIT say. They make the case that the scale of a complex device is the cause of an exponential increase in costs - both capital and operational. For example removing delicate low level radioactive magnates for servicing is easy if they weigh a kilo, a pain if they weigh 200 kilos, a big undertaking if they weigh 1000k and harder and harder and harder the larger they get.

You can see the cost increase with fission reactors - a full on big reactor like sizewell C is slated at £8bn.

Every single one of them. But if we are to make a ranking, I think spreading climate denial to protect your oil empire does do a lot make you uniquely loathe worthy.
I would think the reason is that in those cases, when they "voluntarily declare it was OK" that wasn't actually a conscious decision, i.e. they said yes to one thing without realising that that by definition also implied saying yes to something they'd rather not say yes to. So they are a victim of their own mistakes.

Compare it with me not realising I'm logged in to the production database, and accidentally wiping it. Sure, you could say "that's what you get for logging in to the production database", but you could also say that maybe the organisation setup shouldn't have led me to logging in there.
It shocks, and disgusts me to see clearly intelligent people rallying around a guy who wants to publish unverified and irrelevant drivel as an October Surprise. Defenders here are quoting Tucker Carlson for God's sake -- whose defense team in court persuasively argued that no reasonable person should expect to hear the truth from his show. Comments are barely falling short of singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" while breathlessly decrying the existential threat this tempest in a teacup poses to our nation.

We in the US are not voting for Hunter Biden and no business meetings in the Ukraine or China took place. Hence, attempting to legitimize this nothingburger is disinformation when it is perpetrated in the closing weeks of a US Presidential election. Fear, uncertainty, doubt all wrapped up in a puff of smoke. Something something before the truth has a chance to lace up its boots, and all that.

The cynical streak in me has to wonder if this isn't simply some kind of clickbait market-share grab by The Intercept.

I didn't suggest they're always wrong, or that all of them are wrong, or that some of them won't have done any checks on what they're teaching. I said that teachers will be wrong about things. That only means they're fallible and don't get things right all the time.

If any teacher, or literally anyone else, is offended by the suggestion that they're human and could be wrong sometimes then I think I'm OK with offending them. If you think you're perfect and will never be wrong then frankly you deserve to be offended as often as possible.
"less flawless than intended" is a good way to think about it. Factorio is a good game, but what makes it great is just how flawless it is.

They've spent years making it as flawless as possible.
I see this argument all the time and it feels like I must be missing something. There is no way people actually believe the whole world can go Dutch, right?

I hope this doesn't come across as overly-aggressive, but it seems to me like you don't really understand much about how the Dutch lived below sea levels for centuries.

Yes, over many centuries, they have built all sorts of contraptions in order to gain more land from the sea or lakes. But this is expensive, takes up a vast amount of skill and planning and is only feasible in certain terrain. The Netherlands is also a small and very rich country. To believe that the whole world can do this is complete insanity.

Yes, you are speculating that pindab0ter would think the enforcement action was related to the CoC, even though pindab0ter clearly said that the enforcement action was not related to the CoC.

We already went over this; you interpret pindab0ter's message in an entirely different way than I do. When pindab0ter says "punished by a committee for something that wasn’t in the CoC", you somehow interpret that as "improper enforcement of the CoC", whereas I interpret that as enforcement action unrelated to the CoC.

Anyway, there's no point continuing this. I think it's pretty clear what pindab0ter was trying to say, but you have a completely different interpretation. Unless pindab0ter wants to come back and clarify, let's just stop this here.

Ten years ago it looked like that might be where the entertainment industry was headed, but then Netflix and Spotify got big because it was even more convenient than torrents. When there are 10 major streaming services with exclusive content, then it's no longer convenient and torrents come back. If it were stupid-easy to get torrented content on a big screen television, then Netflix et al would be in trouble. That's the one missing part, which may keep people on streaming even with the Tower of Babel variety of different services. Netflix et al is installed by default on all new TVs you can buy in a store now. I think there was an attempt to make pirated content easy to consume, those Kodi boxes which are now banned and relegated to enthusiasts now. That's what they are really afraid of, because when your mom can torrent with a remote control it's over.

(Spotify on the other hand is in a different league because there is almost no such thing as exclusive music. It's still way more convenient and time-efficient than torrenting. In my experience you can't even find music torrents anymore unless you go down the private tracker rabbit hole (which definitely doesn't scale)).

1. Some folks cheat.
2. Some, who you would think are otherwise healthy, cannot fast (I have a friend that found out he cannot fast. He was instead hospitalized).
3. The severity of the fast depends on the time of year the fast falls and where in the world you are. Right now, it is certainly worse in Norway (where the days very long in June) than it is in the southern hemisphere, where the days have their winter lengths.

The last two can be somewhat accounted for (and already are: Folks that can't fast are exempt and special rules for places that get midnight sun). We can't really control for the first one, especially with real cultural taboo against breaking the fast during the day.
One thing I still don’t quite understand is how a system like this one can develop when the people developing it almost certainly are completely opposed to these ideas on a personal political level.

I almost feel like it was an excess of idealism and belief in “the free market of ideas” -as well as the idea that Facebook should remain a neutral party at all cost- that led to overcompensating in the wrong direction, and the current situation.

> But fundamentally, intellectual property is a form of property that includes intangible things.

I think the idea of code (or information in general) being intangible has some problems. Point me to information which exists without being encoded in physical phenomena. All information we've ever encountered exists in the form of specific configurations of matter and energy, and is therefore tangible, just as a house or a car is. It is just barely tangible, since there are many more physical configurations which can reasonably encode information than there are physical configurations corresponding to a usable car.

The term scarcity as usually applied to information is also somewhat problematic because it is not applied consistently between "physical" goods and information. Yes, the fact is that information is easy to copy because it is easily encodeable in a wider range of physical configurations. But we cannot reasonably ignore the effort required to produce it if we want to make a fair comparison. The quality we are interested in is how hard it is to obtain, to have something in the first place, not just whether it is easy to copy. Code is easy to copy, but is hard to produce, and hence I would argue it is still a scarce resource in this sense.

> My use of a physical good inherently inhibits your use.

Not if you first make your own copy of the physical good, the same way you do with information. You said it yourself: you can use your copy of the software without inhibiting someone's simultaneous use. It's just that information has the boon and burden of being easily copyable once you've initially obtained it.
> You want the company to say the words along with you and agree with your position

I disagree.

When I engrave "I love you" on a watch, as a present for a loved one, I don't want the engraver to agree with me at all. The message isn't from them. It's from me. I couldn't care less if they agree or disagree with the sentiment.

There's a message I want to convey and a person (or company) - the engraver - who is offering to engrave the message for me as a service.

> if you put your faith into a corporation reflecting your moral convictions

I think the trap we're falling into here is assuming that if Apple were to engrave the "liberate" message, that they would somehow be endorsing the message. That's madness. Nobody would expect them to be endorsing my "I love you" message for my wife if they engraved that, so why do we when it's a politialy charged message?

As for why people get Apple to engrave the message rather than "carve/emboss/sharpie/sew" the message themselves; it's neater and looks good. I doubt most people spending hundreds of dollars want that "I sharpied this myself" look.
It's symptomatic of all platforms who rely on UGC at scale, and the business model goes on the assumption that it can't be moderated. I mean, it goes without saying how much copyrighted content sits on YouTube, Facebook et al.

The fact the platform(s) generates revenue from this situation doesn't sit well with me.

I'd agree it's not a problem exclusive to Facebook, but a handful of platforms.
