You may want to re-read GP's comment because they did not indicate whether they cared if the 38% went to the government or the farmer. Reading their comment as written, they simply said they would happily pay the tariff to continue enj

Would this not incentivise the forming of groups that replicate each others work. If you're already committing wilful fraud on your own papers, why wouldn't you commit a bit more for another researcher willing to do the same for y

And yet if they ponied up the money, that issue of "tainting" shared IPs suddenly goes away. You can bet CloudFlare would graciously give the gambling site as much time as they need to bring their own IP (they went out of their w

It all comes down to how quickly new living spaces are made. The common theme in all of the most expensive cities of the world is the supply of new housing being vastly lower than the demand. 10,000 people may not seem like a lot, but if th

The rules were changed on the fly too. Adding a "democracy mode" where inputs are suspended and a majority rule per action, made many parts significantly easier (or perhaps even taking the difficulty from impossible to possible).

Plenty of games are free to play, but come with micro-transactions and/or ad revenue. If anyone can pick up your game and play without spending money, it is generally accepted to be a free-to-play game. Part of the change (unless it ha
