No, that's not the intent of this $35 experimenter's board.
I think the intent is to get maximum value out of a $35 budget. And I'm sure that 1GB accomplishes that better than 32MB. I see no useful purpose in limiting the specs based on a myopic view of what people are supposed to do with this board. The better the specs, the more stuff people will come up with that they can use this board for.
So the rPI has 64 times as much memory as you need for the job.
Maybe. But maybe I don't feel like setting up a cross-compiler, and I use the Raspi itself for building my code. In that case, 1GB works a lot better than 16MB, especially if the thing still cost the same.
I'd say that plain ARM assembly is more straightforward than 6502 assembly, and that Thumb is a bit harder, because of the irregularities. Maybe your perception is different because you forgot how long it took to master 6502 assembly.
If it pans out in day-to-day operation, something like SprayList might pave the way for more effective use of new, many-core processors coming our way, such as Intel's new 18-core server chip,the E5 2600v3.
That's silly. SprayList only optimizes the case where the workload can be divided in independent jobs that can be executed out of order. Most real-life problems don't work that way.
The fact that it's a popular hobbyist platform doesn't mean it's not ancient and outdated. Also, blinking LEDs isn't the only application for microcontrollers.
You said goodbye to 8-bit based solely on how you program and a desire to do something more advanced?
No, where did I say that ? I actually put the more advanced features to good use. Sometimes, it is possible to do the same stuff on 8 bit platforms, but it takes more effort. For instance, the AVR has separate program and data memory, which is just a pain. Given the difference in price, it's usually not worth it to use 8 bits. And in many cases, 8 bit CPUs aren't even cheaper, except for the very low end, and then the difference only makes sense in high volume.
It not just the size of the user application that counts. People use these boards because they come with file systems, USB devices, video and networking. You can't fit all of that in 1024 bytes.
Not everybody is using their Raspi for simple things like that. And if there's more performance, people will also come up with higher performance applications.
I do this for a living too, and I've said farewell to all the 8 bit designs I did before. I have not regretted this move at all. More memory, unified address map, more performance, better peripherals (32 bit timers, ethernet, DMA, etc), smaller packaging, cheaper, more vendor choices, same old GCC toolchain. And all it takes is a week or so of reading the user manual, and playing around with an eval board.
I thought it was the corporations stealing by leeching off society and then not paying the membership fees.
People working for the company already pay income tax, and people buying the company's products already pay sales tax. Any additional taxes will just be added to the sales price, so there's no point in having them.
boohoo sucks that you thought you could get away with paying no tax whatsoever.
It's a stupid system, where people have to pay taxes, but get no benefit from them. Of course, you can always renounce your citizenship, if you can afford the $2300 administrative fee for that.
Not according to the link you provided, which says:
In 1927, Nyquist determined that the number of independent pulses that could be put through a telegraph channel per unit time is limited to twice the bandwidth of the channel.
In this case, bandwidth would be 65MHz. The carrier frequency isn't mentioned in the Nyquist relation.
Not sure about cable, but I have a choice of 6 different companies providing internet at my address, with prices between 20 and 40 EUR/month. I picked the most expensive one, but they offer a fixed IPv4 address, and let me run my own servers, including SMTP.
Not necessarily. Where I live, the physical infrastructure is owned by various private companies. There is however regulation that forces these companies to lease bandwidth to others, for a reasonable fee. This works well in practice.

We should also take aim at the over representation of female teachers. In my kids elementary school, the last male teacher left a few years ago.
Come to think of it, maybe she could politely ask to use the little boy's ring.
Bad idea. She would use this ring from a desire to do good... But through her, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine.

water is scarce in the hot dry places where evaporative cooling works well.
That's okay. Just 3D print some new water, as required.

If you have 1GB, then 19.5MB is little.
But it's got wonderful plumage, don't you think ?
For sufficiently small values of abundant.

The fact that warm air expands is well known. The question is whether this is actually a possible explanation for the observed facts.
Okay, go ahead and explain how this is "retarded" or unfair. Seems pretty smart and fair to me.
US citizens living abroad don't benefit from most things that are paid with their taxes.

Every person involved was already paid
Except for the studio, who financed all of this.

Nobody's talking about terraforming, especially not when it involves moving around a Neptune sized planet.
government should build and maintain the fiber
