Uncertainty makes bids go up. Introducing the possibility that perhaps there might be a second round after a bid turned out to be too low reduces uncertainty. Imagine game theory dynamics in poker if an unhappy player could say "well,

Ten people halving their meat intake has more positive impact than four people going full vegan. Unfortunately the idea of "less meaty" dining is entirely unknown where I live, it's either completely meatless or meat as the d

And then there are plenty of companies who put some legitimate part of their business on a wonky gtld domain they only bought so that it's not bought by a scammer. Systems run by the investor relations department might run on exampleco

You're assuming that they don't have their own disbelief properly suspended. The illusion works, against all objective signs of failure, because they are believing it themselves. It's like Dafoe's Schreck delivering a ve

You can have just about any amount of inefficiency in game making before it's a scam. Some are both highly funded and effective, others only the former. Just look how little Zwift has achieved with a similar amount of funding. I mean s

Is it that expectation of major updates coming in at a fixed cycle? Not only expected by upper management but also by end users? That's a difficult trap to get out of. I wonder if that will be the key benefit of Google's switch to

What you describe would be shipped physically but disabled, and that certainly happens a lot. For exactly those reasons. What GP described was shipped not only physically present but also not even disabled, because politics. That would be a

Even more: in the old days, any buyer slurping up production by the MWh would have noticeably tipped the balance of supply and demand.

Thanks for your patience. I guess the big blocker for the hypothetical "full triangle of readable-mutable-immutable" is that deep read operations would have to create a potentially long lived object for each intermediate step in e

Kind of. Can you use the interim state fork (original plus changes, not yet committed into a new immutable) as a "readable" type, the union of mutable and immutable variants? That would resolve choice dilemmas like the decision be

Does it offer creating a mutable view on top of the immutable structure that can be used to accumulate a whole set of changes to later be materialized into a copy with the changes? (or to be used directly, at whatever cost would be required

Some xenos appear to have few other goals in life than getting feared. It would almost appear impolite to not give them what they desire so much.

True. But is that market really that big? Once you've fallen behind a few releases you just don't care for the latest, and the not-latest lack any of that novelty appeal that video games tend to rely on quite a bit.
