Game theory? A long while back, I read (and just now refound) an article about a biologist's take on cooperation and competition. David Sloan Wilson is quoted as saying "Selfishness beats altruism within groups, [but] altruistic g

Old Ryobi, or new Ryobi? Serious question, as I understand the ex-Japanese market rights were sold to a Chinese corp over two decades ago, and the in-Japanese consumer device market rights went to a different Japanse company several years a

The way I learned it was: "99 bugs in the code, 99 bugs in the code... Fix one bug, compile it again, 101 bugs in the code!" (To the tune of 99 Bottles Of Beer)

> they are the most repairable. That's a really weird way to spell "incumbency and network effects". In fairness, you're not wrong, but that seems to be a very specific framing that hides a lot of what this whole disc

Yes, perhaps they do allow for greater flexibility, but that's complex and difficult to do well/reliably, and doing it well/reliably requires signal analysis gear and software modeling that's out of the reach of normal c

I think your point about the loss of case generally stands, but surely the genitive isn't lost?

I can't speak to their quality, but every time I see their name, I wonder about how they're received in England: Americans might generally be unaware, but "smeg" as a name doesn't land well there, as I understand it
