Brand's book so rightly emphasizes getting the ordering of layers right, IIRC. If you are familiar with condo law, stacking mobile homes (per the article) could be seen as absolutely minimizing "limited common element" and co

I have no recollection of the source, but I read in what I recall as a reasonable source the following: Many French peasants in the mid-late 1700's would mostly sleep through winters, arising to eat (IIRC). I don't recall a mentio

In this M1-related video[1], it appears that when the very first ARM chip was tested it showed zero power (or powered through I/O pins?). I suppose this time there could have been a simulation-based prediction in advance. [1] https:&#

Importing the word value into the definition of hypocrisy seems at least subject to debate. One could also be declared hypocritical relative to some enforced meaningless behavior or in some "rules for thee but not not for me"

I have heard the prediction that some people will stop wearing masks with the [false] claim they have "had the vaccine." Not necessarily a "moral dilemma" but a kind of moral hazard perhaps, much as these sound the same.

I have not looked at the links, but aren't there people who use Bode plots to estimate direction-of-causality, given time-series data? IIRC there are basic relationships between wide-frequency phase behavior and, e.g., impulse-response
