Did they? Or did they give the people what they wanted in exchange for a small theoretical risk that has yet to cause a documented real-world issue? You can get ECC RAM that greatly reduces the risk if that's your preference. You can even get radiation hardened equipment that is even less likely to flip a bit if your wallet is up to it.

The problem in Venezuela is a corrupt government with a child's understanding of how an economy works. They'd make a mess of things no matter what economic system they tried to implement.
Venezuela's problem isn't socialism, it's government implementing things in the dumbest way possible.
It's funny how some policies are evil socialism when discussing implementing them int the U.S. but "aren't really socialism" when someone points to a successful country that implements them.
Actually, yes I can. If a DOCTOR in good professional standing prescribes the substance anywhere at all, it has a recognized medical value. Keeping it on schedule 1 after that is the DEA breaking the law.
You're confusing the categories. Sched 1 is SUPPOSED to be for drugs with high abuse potential, high addictive potential and NO recognized medical value.
Schedule 2 is for drugs with high abuse and addiction but with a recognized medical value.
Unfortunately, the scheduling is based on politics and the feels rather than an actual objective evaluation, even ignoring simple logic. Based on the simple logic that marijuana is actually prescribed by doctors in good standing wherever it is legal and that it is not considered addictive, it probably belongs in schedule 4 or 5 (since it does have potential for abuse). CBD oil shouldn't even be scheduled. At worst, it should be classified as a supplement.
Itanium had an entirely new instruction set. But it turned out that it was practically impossible for a compiler to produce an instruction stream that would get decent performance. It didn't help that Itanic was priced north of $10K. It could run Windows in an emulator, but that was much slower than Windows running native on a 32 bit processor. Linux could run natively on Itanic, but it ran faster on a 32 bit processor. Intel kept saying "just wait till next year". Then AMD came out with x86_64 and nobody wanted to wait for Itanic anymore.
Itanic limped along for a while longer and then was quietly taken behind the barn and shot.
But there will be a lot of resistance to nailing the rules down for the sake of the machines. More than other professional sports, baseball is about judgement calls. When the unexpected happens due to imperfections in the field or just unlikely random events, the rules actually call for the umpire to decide what would most likely have happened without the odd event and declare that to be the result of the play.
Consider, the ground rule double is nothing more than the observation that if the ball takes a hop deep in the outfield and caroms off the top of the wall, the batsman will get a double practically every time. The Home run is likewise a recognition that if the ball goes over the fence and into the weeds, everyone will get home before the ball can be thrown back in.
Baseball doesn't moan and groan about every field being a bit different, it celebrates it.
Intel tries to be in the processor business, it just turns out that they can't do anything but x86.
The x86 itself saved Intel's ass when the iAPX432 crashed and burned hard. They salvaged a few features as they advanced from 8086 to 80386. But the real advancements in archetecture stopped at the '386. Everything since has been all about making a faster '386 rather than fundamental archetecture improvements.
They did try to move past that with the Itanium, but it turned out to be Itanic instead.
Don't forget that x86_64 is AMD. Intel was still betting heavily on Itanic when AMD introduced x86_64. Intel bought in when they realized they had nowhere else to go.
If I had to name the single greatest factor in Intel's success, it would be the sheer luck that a mostly ignored group at IBM happened to select their CPU for what was thought at the time to be an insignificant low end personal computer.
Note well that the way corporations are run today, the entire team that made the PC would have been axed rather than leaving them to work on their little hobby project.
How is someone going to 'get' difficult problems if they keep retreating into 'good and evil' fairy tale worlds, that protect/satisfy them in some twisted way.
Often by seeing through the bullshit behind "it's complicated" and realizing it really isn't.
They sure didn't seem to have a problem finding events to send a nastygram to. Just because the law allows it, they don't have to be inflamed assholes. Let's not forget that without Harry Potter fans, Warner wouldn't have made a dime on the movies.
They could even go so far as to make it easy for people who aren't part of Hollywood to request and be granted clearance. They might even point out that procedure in a polite letter requesting that people use that procedure in the future.
There are many things in life that aren't legal responsibilities that are nevertheless the right thing to do ranging from holding the door to saving someone who is drowning when you can.
That is a bullshit dodge. You can also protect your mark by sending a letter asserting your mark and PERMITTING it's use. Perhaps throw in some language about no porn or some such.
That remains to be "seen". If pubs start closing, it will certainly be in the British sense. Perhaps not coincidentally, "pants" may be among the more minor expletives uttered by would-be pub goers.

Well yeah, nails and wood cost a lot more than old refrigerator boxes and duck tape.

It's every bit as much of a dodge as when the pawn broker asked Homer Simpson if the TV was cable ready and he replied "ready as she'll ever be!"..
If the intent of a message is to create a false impression in the mind of the recipient, it is a lie. Calling it anything else is a second lie.
I guess you've never heard of a nannycam or latchkey kids.
You DO know that was an editorial, yes?
The actual document from the Census bureau says otherwise.
Time to put the cool aid down.
which is entirely optional.
Unless you are legally required to pay your taxes.
Clearly they should have taken their business to some other country's tax administration or just done without taxes. What could go wrong?
The same mixed bag as the many poor capitalist countries. Mostly some people being more equal than others (corruption).
It's worth noting that the countries you mention weren't exactly bursting with prosperity before their revolutions either.
California is closer to the middle of the pack in the U.S. Mississippi has the highest rate followed by New Mexico and Louisiana.
It's not prohibited where they prescribe it.

Uni is an odd one. I've tried it and I still don't know if I like it or not.

That still leaves bunts.

I doubt very much that in a couple of years the mobile industry is likely to change architecture and instruction set just to jump on x86.
Intel tries to be in the processor business, it just turns out that they can't do anything but x86.

I'll just leave this here.
Neuropathy from a "mild" mercury poisoning can also do it.
