Last time I checked, "costing extensive resources" was not a crime. And even if it were, you'd still ideally need mens rea .

It's always amusing to see what crimes people demand to have strict liability for, yes. "He posted a wrong location online, of course that'd disrupt the search for the wolf, right to jail, right away".

The rest of the argument is also quite weird. Christianity, as practiced in medieval–early modern Europe, also had diverged quite far from what was in the NT, so does it automatically absolve it from all the unpleasant stuff done in its nam

Meh. A religion being practiced very differently from what its scared texts say is nothing uncommon — and this fact doesn't removes the blame whatsoever. Although seeing (from a safe distance) the Islamic version of Reformation could b

> You don’t have unlimited freedom to not wear shoes Okay, I am gonna be 100% serious here: you absolutely should have such a freedom. Just as loitering or jaywalking being a crime is inherently totalitarian, what the hell.

Capital eschews no profit, or very small profit, just as Nature was formerly said to abhor a vacuum. With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 per cent. will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 per cent. certain

Well, how about the Berkeley Out-of-Order Machine [0] (BOOM)? It's superscalar, out-of-order RISC-V design (one of the very first ones, in fact), and the documentation is fairly detailed. Read [0] and [1] for the general introduction,

Depends entirely on what banking scheme you use. Nothing stops you from adding e.g. an 8-bit banking register (even two of them, one for instruction fetches, another one for normal memory reads/writes) to serve as bits 23–16 for the 24
