1) It's difficult and very costly for new competitors to enter markets. 2) It's often impossible (without moving) for consumers to choose a competitive service.

Key line from the article: > what is at the beginning of the original signal will be at the end of the reflected signal Leading with that would have made the whole thing a lot less interesting to non-physicists (possibly everyone, dunno)

Agreed on the first point, the headline and lead-in are grossly sensationalized, but later they do pretty clearly explain what’s going on. The article’s author says the “time mirror” means you send a signal into the experimental setup of wa

I’m missing something — why would a newly created Ubuntu server be any better or worse than any other system for developing Haskell?

Two of the times I’ve come closest to getting hit were in crosswalks when the driver appeared to look at me, the car slowed down, seeming to yield and then hit the gas. In the second case the driver stopped after, and told me she’d slowed b

Search "waste to energy Sweden". It's not perfect, but they have emissions standards and they do filtration. It's probably significantly better than pretending to recycle the stuff and then burning fuel to ship it somewh

> Tests are bad for developers. That is why. They can only detect bugs. Tests can only tell developers they made a mistake. There is no gain at that moment. When test-driven development is applicable, it’s so damn nice. If for no other r

You could make that argument except this is a stick someone said he’d pay $100k for to get attention, then the courts forced him follow through. Slightly different.

If it’s a rule that I can break and make a funny joke or follow and make an unfunny joke, I don’t think it can (even colloquially) be called a “rule” — maybe a predictive element, maybe nothing.

> None of These Theories Seem Adequate Agreed, theories are testable, all of these theories are easily disprovable, in fact we can construct test jokes that abide by all of them and are still deeply unfunny. One of the most counterintuit

There’s certainly truth to that, but when you add in all the requirements for those approved sensors (supply chain, certification, utilization of American workers, etc, etc) they may be that expensive to produce. Then your government client

AFAIK that's entirely true, but as asked it's a non-cryptocurrency project.

NFTs. It's not a terribly interesting answer, but you've asked your question in an uninterested way. Since there are a lot of good and bad, intrinsic and extrinsic reasons tech does and does not get adopted, I think a better quest

My take on USB-A: aside from audio connectors that have axial symmetry (and have no meaningful orientation), I never used any reversible computer cables prior to USB-C, and that’s not the main issue. Nor is it the axis of symmetry of the ca

How many articles are there on writing your first program in Python? Is that a result if it being difficult? This is not a valid method of assessment. Relative to programming in general, monads are easy to work with, easy enough to understa

What do you mean by vanilla? A function that doesn’t have a monadic return value? What do you mean by run implicitly? I explicitly put IO expressions in the main function and they run. That’s the same as any imperative language. I’m trying

Can you remember what year it was? I’ve got a slight suspicion you were given some bullshit or at least a creative treatment of facts e.g. everything had IPv6 support but FUD-filled network engineers didn’t want to turn it on. Most network
