The price of a good is not a constant. It doesn't matter whether it's land, gold, stocks, rent, or trading cards. Prices change. Buyers are never entitled to the "previous fair market value" of anything.

The buyer is the one giving the market power to the seller. If the buyer did not have interest in the land and did not buy the surrounding land, then the seller would not have power. It is not the sellers fault if the buyers project fails b

People also play games to appeal to their darker aggressive more primitive mind - their "Id" as Freud would put it. It is why games like Grand Theft Auto are best sellers. Even in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 you participate in

Call of Duty is using AI now too [1]. I think it's interesting to wonder what Valve would say about games using AI exclusively server side. They cannot control (or know) what technologies a developer uses on their personal game servers

Let's say the Judge* is right and Apple is not a monopoly under current antitrust laws, then all that proves is the laws are too lax.

Agreed. Version resolution is the interesting problem. Most package managers use a SAT solver to resolve dependencies. The Dart team has a detailed write up on their SAT-based approach which is worth a read [1]. For contrast, Russ Cox prese

Antitrust laws are too reactive. We need proactive laws that break up companies if they grow beyond a certain size criteria. Ideally, the criteria would be aggressive enough to kill large corporations leaving behind only small to medium-siz

Perhaps a controversial opinion, but I think exceptions should only be thrown when something exceptional happens. Languages, like Java and Python, overuse them e.g. failing to open a file is not exceptional, but running out of memory is.

Python uses a GIL (global interpreter lock) which prevents both Python code and native C modules from executing in parallel in the interpreter. Removing the GIL means Python could provide in-process parallelism.
