It always bugged me thats considered part of reproducibility. That's 100% controllable and deterministic.

Compilers haven't been built with that as a condition, so this isn't true. It's not true in practical code either, people like to stick in timestamps. It's not ever true on windows, unless you use the fairly recent PE

Bit for bit reproducible? So I can checkout an arbitrary version from years ago and reproduce the exact same set of output files?

Nope, loads of build tools were never built with reproducibility in mind. Look at windows. Even if you fix the compiler and linker, you still non-reproducibility by design, the PE header contains a timestamp. People also like to stick non-r

Stupid laws don't help. Not re-evaluating property values until sale. NIMBY zoning laws everywhere.

So I just shouldn't bother having kids if I don't live in the same city as my parents? That's great. Awesome society.

My point is that this isn't the free market malfunctioning. This is the entirely logical outcome of capitalism. What you (and I) are asking for is more regulation to prevent these outcomes.

Except that if you say, implement a wealth cap at X millions then taking a billionaires money still leaves them rich enough to do anything. That's not slavery.

> 2) This wasn't some "backroom deal". The NDAs were a stipulation in Amazon's competition meant to prevent bidding wars. If cities could react to other cities, it would have created an escalating race to the bottom.

If the right doesn't like being censored by private corporations, maybe they shouldn't make deregulation and allowance of this sort of behaviour a core part of their beliefs. Me, I love seeing these guys deplatformed.

I'd put the Jaguar I-Pace as more of a Tesla killer than pretty much anything else that has come out. Even then, you don't see a Jaguar that often. If BMW comes out with a luxury sedan electric car that would be a tesla killer.
