As stated the impossibility theorem is true, however we can design a democratic system that does satisfy all of the conditions set forth. (unrestricted domain, non-dictatorship, Pareto efficiency, and independence of irrelevant alternatives

Isn't this just a trade off? Is there never a scenario where you would trade transistor density for switching speed and lower power consumption?

Tether can temporarily keep the peg to $1 so long as a lot of people don't cash out at once. Given that they have cash reserves, they can buy back tethers that cost less than $1 themselves to keep the peg afloat. If they are legit, (lo

I mean you could probably supplant the entire FIFA organization with $10B if you wanted to take a really big swing. Money talks and if you funnel the right amount of money to the best players you will create the best sports league.

> EA is chump change compared to world football. They've got no leverage, and despite the dislike for FIFA everywhere, a power struggle between the two with EA casting itself as the righteous party will only invite backlash. You sur

Madden hasn't changed in a decade and it still tops the sales charts every year. It has to have the best economics of any game franchise in existence.

I don't understand your logic here. Adding additional third party stores wouldn't affect the availability of Apps in the App Store if Apple is truly providing value to customers. If third party stores or sideloading is not valuabl

I own about 4-5 computers and 3 phones. One of those computers is a Mac and one of the phones is an iPhone. The only claim I made was that I would be more satisfied if the iPhone could support third party stores or sideloading. I will conti

Yes. For the simple reason that I own both a Mac and an iPhone. These devices are extremely similar in their capabilities, except I can download software directly on one, and the other is a captive market. There is a reason why the Mac App

The big restriction is using only American built ships (which we don't make anymore). You can keep the American flagged/crewed restriction and it would still significantly change the dynamics of shipping.

Or we could get rid of the Jones act and just move freight by ship instead of driving it long distances.

This doesn't work, it will just show more videos I've already seen.

Can we get a button to stop recommending videos that have already been watched? On the front page out of 12 videos listed, I've already seen 7 of them and have no need to watch them again.

You don't pay for instruction or certification you pay for signaling. A student from Arizona State can be more competent than one from Harvard. Who do you think is going to have more doors opened for them?

When I say "zinc and copper lobby" I'm referring to Jarden Zinc products, the sole supplier of penny blanks. The penny business means a whole lot to them. https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/clie

We probably should have gotten rid of the penny a long time ago. We haven't because of concentrated benefits and diffuse costs, a common problem that plagues the federal government. The zinc and copper lobby are significantly intereste

No, I understand that there are n! permutations. Again you aren't actually searching through the permutations. You're running comparisons on the data to reduce the set of possible permutations to the one it has to be. (pigeon hole

You don't need to compare permutations you reduce the set of possible permutations until you reach the one that must be the answer. Theoretical performance should be O(log n)
