To discard the duplicates, you need to update your state based on the first message and consult that state for all subsequent messages. Someone must be delivered those messages for this to happen. If you say that someone can then pass

The piece makes a very simple distinction. Delivery is the property of a message showing up at a receiver, irrespective of the receiver making state changes. Processing is making state changes. You can't dedupe messages without some ki

Having a clear system boundary is required for analysis. Knowing that messages will be delivered 1+ times gives us a variety of ways we could choose to deal with this on the endpoint, with different vulnerabilities. (Getting "exactly

The thing that is at the end of the lossy medium. It must tolerate (0 or 1) or (1 or more) things being delivered to it.

The problem is, you're using strong language like "under any reasonable definition of 'delivery'." But everyone else is defining delivery differently than you, referring to the delivery of the message to the syste

Most roads are difficult to exclude. Most spend most of their time with excess capacity and are not rivalrous. They're clearly not a typical private good. And they're usually a natural monopoly, too. Not to mention that the acq

Sure. Maybe the market will provide food security in 98% of years on its own, but we need more 9's. And we obviously need our government to be coercive enough to protect us from outside, less benevolent, forms of coercion. At the sam

So, there's two factors here, that move in opposite directions: 1. China is less likely to secure a semiconductor advantage over the West, if TSMC has a US location. Instead, China is likely to take out the nearby, high quality fab, a

Well, sure. The essential tradeoff is always figuring out how much to economically kneecap yourself in the short term to maintain economic independence in the long term. And, of course, if you overshoot and the other guys outgrow you as a

Sure. As I pointed out, something like the CHIPS Act may be good for US resilience and national security, but is unlikely to be good for US economic output.

I think you're missing the point of what I'm saying. The US has steadily moved away from those past competencies because there was more profit to be made elsewhere . And, sure, there are absolutely network effects with related
