The demand isn't going to increase in a blackout, it's the supply that diminishes, bringing price up. But the curve isn't asymptotic: the price doesn't go to infinity as the supply goes to zero.

Agreed too; that's how it is at Google. Code reviews aren't "hey reviewer, take a look at this code so you understand it and rubber-stamp it". As a reviewer you're the gatekeeper, and no code is submitted unless the

They "own" a compiler, but not all of them. Say they implement the scheme you mention in clang and the LLVM linker, so the function bodies of their public APIs end up placed in that privileged region of memory, and those of thei

Preventing it in a technical way is far from easy: If your app calls public API X, which as part of its implementation calls private API Y, your compiler only needs a declaration of Y to output the function call / ObjC message send. No

I'm very intrigued by what you're saying, but can't imagine it. What makes it easier to express practical concepts? How is it more positive than others? How are others better at expressing suspense, and abstract concepts?

I see what you're saying, even if I would argue the details. But the important point is that there's no way to get from positivism to there: The incompatibility of momentum and position, and that of energy and instant, arises from
