I disagree. As a reader I find "novel" helpful so that I know if the approach has been tried before. If I knew all that the authors know it would be unnecessary, but so would the paper then too. Communication is about moving ideas from one head to another. the word novel tells me a lot.
this is actually about fuel efficiency, not production cost. I'd bet it would cost (quite a bit) more given what a hard sell the manufacturer is making.
Your version is a sad sort of world. You may want to take a literature class an learn about interpreting text--it could be really eye opening for you. Communication is not a one way flow.
I haven't worked out the math, but this would be my scenario. Pretend people like to go to events at big full venues (this is how I enjoy sports events, sold out). Then the profit maximizing ticket sales will not fill the stadium because further restricting supply at a higher price will increase profit. So the scalper can come in, buy all the tickets, and then sell the profit maximizing price and quantity. The only problem is that the owner wanted to make a little less money per game/show and make it a good experience. Once the word gets out that the park is often empty, the value of the tickets go down. The bot owner can then move on. The owner is stuck holding the bag trying to convince people that demand that WAS there is still there...
You're assuming that just because the author didn't consciously intend to include a theme that it's not there. Other's aren't restricted by that assumption, myself included. I believe that many artists that won't answer questions about their intent basically agree--they are not the authority on the subtext of their work.
This reminds me of people saying particle accelerators could create dangerous backholes, when much much higher energy particles slam our atmosphere all of the time.
That's not the issue. The issue is that accelerators smash things together from two opposing beams so that the average velocity is approximately zero.
High energy particles smash into the earth and create other high energy particles that have velocities that would still be just under the speed of light. It's possible that black holes from but just fly through the earth, never accumulating enough mass to slow down and just keep on going.
Isn't there a simple solution to this? We just drop your patent protection when you sell it or it becomes widely available for use on farms. If that's not enough we could go after other parts of the portfolio.
I had a friend once propose this without the additional day. I pointed out that the number of days in a year was odd and she gave up. I like your addition.
One issue: New Years is not a day of the week in your plan.
Reminds me of going to a conference at NIST with a bunch of engineers back when people had watches and didn't have cell phones. At some point everyone looked at the wall clock and thought, "OK that's what time it is... no wait, that's the actually what time it is. I'm going to set my watch." Lots of messing around with the wrist that day.
There is good sharing and bad sharing. Most of this was instituted after Nixon left office and it was discovered that there was lots of bad sharing. Most of the bad stuff that we know of relates to his monitoring of MLK--I'd look there if you're interested. So, e.g. I doubt the FBI can call the IRS and get tax records without a subpoena. Now, I believe that they do have some common sense sharing rules (e.g. if you list an illegal source of income they send it for prosecution).
In another FBI related one they asked Census for their records on a person of interest and Census said no. Then they asked if they could go to the house with Census badges on and collect the Census data from the person--the Census said no. Then they got a subpoena for the data and Census still said no (you have to give it to the Census workers, it's not easy to stand up to FBI agents with guns AND a subpoena, but they stuck it out and did just that). Census eventually won in court and their records are not shared. A lot of this is that the Census made some big mistakes during WW II and they basically learned their lessons--no privacy, no data. And it takes a long time to build your reputation back up.
You understand nothing about this situation. NYC taxis do exactly one thing, hailed rides. If you want dispatching, you call a "car service" that costs less than the cab. The reality is that before cell phones and smart phones dispatched cars were just vastly inferior and so weren't that numerous. Now they aren't that bad to use.
The only real regulation that is a pain for the cabs is that a medallion costs about $12/hour (in rent). They are there to keep the number of cars on the street at the correct level. Soon, they will have to be applied to dispatched cars and then uber will enter a new world.
NYC has a lot of people in it and the streets are not wide enough to cary a level of traffic that a commuting pattern like another city work work. If you are going to have cars you are going to have to regulate the number. parking costs does that (to an extent) for personal vehicles, but not so for taxis. Medallions are a good thing, they prevent the tragedy of the commons.

shhhhhhhhhhh.
I have many snake bites. Do you have an ointment I can use to ward off the snakes?
mailing yourself something is not worth a damn b/c you can mail yourself a letter that is not sealed.
In your case, you could file for a copyright.
So, it's man made nukes or natural nukes.

Right, but not all headers can be encrypted. e.g. your letter still needs an unencrypted address or it can't be delivered.
say more...
In soap it does.

Why not just keep a separate clock for these purposes and let the rest of us be?
Right, so then there's the question of why we give a fuck.
Only if you assume Hoover moved unidirectionally in time. But, assuming that, point taken.
I'm more OK with that but I'd think you would put a note about that in the header of the routing tables.

Right, so it is a perpetual cost. But only because you can resell the medallion. Otherwise it would be a sunk cost.
That does sound nice.
