    Why do you think that external revenue streams are a distortion but external costs are not?

    "Does having a .50 cal mounted on the back of a Toyota pickup count as market distortion? "

    The poor and rich alike may mount a .50 cal on the back of their Toyota pickups.

    Meetings seem worthless to people that no one wants to talk to.

    " It is well known that Linux users are generally willing to pay more than average for game titles. "

    That data only proves that among users who were willing to pay, Linux users were willing to pay more. There is not accounting done for users who were unwilling to pay.

    " separate streaming services programming has gotten fragmented and aggregators like Netflix are losing content left and right that all these companies want to keep exclusive to their own streaming services which leads to the al a carte people said they wanted"

    But that isn't "a la carte", that's just changing who is doing the bundling.

    'smeared as "conspiracy theorists"'

    Some of these theories have some supporting evidence, though not to the "beyond a reasonable doubt" level of proof. Others have no evidence at all. The latter are conspiracy theories, not the former.

    Take for example the Seth Rich case. No evidence at all has turned up to back the claim that he was assassinated. On the other hand, Seth Rich himself said it was a mugging gone bad and the perps ran away... You did remember that Seth Rich lived long enough to get to the hospital and talk to the police, right?

    The change is that this used to be an upsell from the manufacturer. Upsells have a bad rap these days.

    "He knew and understood this flaw"

    That pilot did not know and understand the flaw. He knew that if you worked through the trim excursion checklist you eventually hit something that resolved the symptom.

  11. Clearly, those tall US soldiers spent the next seven years fucking Dutch women,

  12. The US has always lacked universal health care, even when the average height was increasing, so a complete argument needs to include additional factors.

    Full debug access back as far as Broadwell has required a cryptographic key which is dowloaded every time you power up the device.

    It requires physical access to the pin that you are now shoving a 4 GHz signal out of, assuming you could figure how to set the muxes to get the signal there in the first place.

  15. Re:These are not new features, they've been there on Researchers Discover and Abuse New Undocumented Feature in Intel Chipsets (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    There are certain levels of debug access that are left open for the system integrators (e.g. Dell) to do debug on their own systems. It is then their responsibility to disable this on production systems.

    The are the people who have oversight and responsibility for the work that is performed by the outside IT contractors. They deal with the managers at the contracting firm and say "we need X amount of task Y done, and task Z is behind schedule". They would have been middle management if it was work being done in house.

    Since Intel is consolidating to a single IT contracting firm, they don't need as many different contacts inside of Intel.

  22. Re:Are cigarette sales banned? on San Francisco Moves To Ban E-Cigarettes Until Health Effects Known (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    A ban one but not the other makes no sense if you are trying to run a nanny sate. However, it makes perfect sense if you are trying to make markets work. A requirement of an efficient market is information about costs and utilities. Knowing the health effects of ordinary cigarettes allows those effects to be priced in. Without knowledge of the effects of e-cigarettes, the market cannot achieve equilibrium.

  23. Re:737 Max is a frankenstein's monster on Boeing 737 Max Crashes 'Linked' By Satellite Track Data, FAA Says (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    "It has fuselage from the 737, Engines from the 787, flight controls from the A320"

    The 787 can use two kinds engines, from two different manufacturers, which are 40% larger than the engines for the 737 MAX8 which are from a third manufacturer. The A320 is from a completely different manufacturer and most definitely doesn't not share avionics.

    Out of three factual statements made here, only one is correct. I would suggest this does not bode well for the "informative" moderation of the rest of the post

    For it to be a great time to switch to ARM, you not only need someone with ARM processors to fit the design you want to put them but also someone with fab capacity at advanced process nodes that can be used to make them. The problem is NO ONE HAS SPARE FAB CAPACITY AT ADVANCED NODES.
