votes for small parties are not lost, their main effect comes from causing the behavior of the large blocks to shift over time, even if only a little. as an example, many parties now feature some feminist points, even though it was original

Glass quality also lessens due to impurities, which is one important reason why certain glass types, like beer bottles, have a mandated deposit and collection system.

Yes, but the .NET thread pool is auto-tuning, although very badly, with at least a second latency to increased workload. For bursty requests that could be done within a few hundred milliseconds it is a bad fit. But you can't DOS your

1 and 3 are very important points. 2, Price competition likely was less important; in Austria (and I think, Germany) there exists the "Buchpreisbindung", the price of books is mandated, no seller must offer a lower price; also, ta

If you need 15/20 years, you get a separate contract. 7 years as a baseline is not too bad, for that kind of device, but likely not sufficient on its own. Automotive test-beds etc. would require longer timeframes.

I don't understand who's downvoting you, this is accurate. While AlphaGo/Zero improved quickly to superhuman play, we are just in this thread comparing timelines, so that is relevant.
