Even _if_ command economies worked, they would still put too much power in the hands of those in command and inevitably lead to totalitarianism. Power corrupts.
Congratulations, you now know the key, unfixable, flaw in socialism and can get on with your life.
Krugman is a moron, there are no Keynesians. Keynesians save during good times. There are just deficit spenders with an excuse: 'Keynesians'.
There is no Nobel Prize in economics. Economists just made one up to lend themselves credibility. Next: 'Nobel prizes' in chiropracty and scientology auditing.
What, yes Comanche (3) did head tracking. It just didn't show a helicopter in head tracking mode.
It was not 'intolerable'...though Descent 2 was unbelievably pukey, that was intolerable. (I can blow the dust off of the VFX1, install in new CMOS battery in the old 1 gig win98 machine. Yes I am a packrat.)
Of the good ones on the VFX-1, I could play for an easy half hour. The biggest problem was you had to change modes and lift the headset in FU to see instruments (which you had to do to land).
As you say, you can't even tolerate the 'setting at a desk demo' on new hardware. You're just very susceptible to VR sickness.
It is down to content. Which is why AR is generally better, the 'augmented' part prevents the devs from tumbling the users POV. VR can do the same and get the same result.
Sitting is preferred. There were a few VFX-1 games there were real playable. Flight Unlimited 2. Comanche 3. At 30fps display, driven by a computer 2 or 3 x as fast as those games were designed for.
With just 3 axis tracking, standing was _impossible_. Having a solid controller/wheel in your hands is still a good thing for VR.
Japan runs on Australian coal. Crappy, dirty, brown coal the Aussies can't otherwise give away. All the plants are on the east coast, so the smoke blows out to sea.
Sure, projected yields and financial analysis come before 'disaster'...the point is they didn't just change course by themselves. Something changed, likely something technical. They learned something or a client walked away after learning something.
Diminishing returns never sleeps. Each generation of fabs was costing about twice the last ones. Can't go on forever. CPU/GPU is INXS for 90-99% of applications.
The judge says you can't download the files from defense distributed
The files are readily available.
As are other files that show you how to make usable guns from metal (AK action from a shovel).
This one has to be tough for TDS people, he's right. Best to just move past it, as fast as possible.
An all plastic gun is already illegal to have. They are supposed to set off metal detectors. IIRC 10 years federal, same as an unlicensed machine gun/guided missile.
You can be up for 10 years for purposely bending a semi auto's firing pin, making it slamfire. The whole area of law is no joke. 10 years for a useless plastic gun would be embarrassing. Like a 'petty' crime bust.
Greece and Rome...so you're in favor of Athenian democracy or Roman politics...Who will take the role of Praetorian guards? You know the group you have to bribe to become Emperor.
The current attack on science is by nonscientists claiming the title to advance an agenda.
Calling them out is _defending_ science, just be consistent, demand raw data. Ignore unsupported conclusions. Especially leftists concluding 'we'll just have to smash capitalism' (or any other group with an _obvious_ agenda).
The part you miss is the banks were almost entirely national banks from fellow Euro nations. The same banks the Greeks would have been going back to for their next loans (or more correctly loan rejections). Leaving the Greeks in the gentile hands of the Chinese bankers...Which would have been as close to justice as the world generates.
In Sac, the city council member's families owned the developers. They just declared the north Natomas levees '100 year'. Built a bunch of subdivisions. Then said 'oops' and resigned from the city council (but so far escaped prosecution). The people owning the houses are now paying a high special assessment to upgrade the levees to protect their houses from the American and Sacramento rivers. Which does absolutely nothing for those of them near dry creek. Which regularly floods from immediate surface runoff. They are actually overdue.
Truth is, most of Sacramento is built on floodplains, all of downtown to start. 3 regions named 'heights' or 'highlands' though. Two of which are tweaked out shitholes.

Not a water pipe, a black steel (gas) pipe.
Paraphrasing your answer...you were too dumb to build a safe zip gun, despite the knowledge being readily available.
Leftists are the large majority of those currently misapplying 'science'.
It's not bias to look for the usual suspects. Especially those dumb enough to telegraph their stupidity (smash capitalism).
The same applies to creation scientists, but they have no traction. The whole field of sociology is no better, but does have traction.

Begs the question* is a gun 'buy back' a sale?
* Grammarian troll.

Prison guard unions donate about 10x the money to political campaigns vs private prisons. The left is leading the way, not following.
Look at CA, one party rule for decades, one party that is _owned_ by the prison guard union. Not the Rs.
Its federal law. 'danger will robinson'. Gotta be a detectable amount of (likely ferrous) metal.
Of all the ways to fuckup and end up in fed, playing with a dangerous, useless plastic gun would be about the stupidest.

Still 3: Intel, Samsung and TSMC.

'Not based on technical issues' but based on...lots of bullshit...as well as financial concerns.
'Financial concerns' like a 10% yield, or some other technical disaster, so full of shit.
You were never a teenager?

VR was usable, with the right content, on a VFX-1 in 1998 at 30Hz. It was almost certainly usable before that, but that was the first I used it.
Higher frame rates are better, but won't fix puke inducing content.
It's easy to make people throw up in VR, it's hard to not make them throw up, but _not_ impossible.
Down to content: Keep up mostly up, limit turn rates, provide a consistent visual reference.
Now we know you're fucking crazy.
Greece and Rome...so you're in favor of Athenian democracy or Roman politics...Who will take the role of Praetorian guards? You know the group you have to bribe to become Emperor.
Your problem is there are people on this site that lived through it, plus many more directly descended from those that lived through it.
Your lie might work in another 100 years, until then, fuck right off.

The discipline of economics has 'accurately' predicted everything. It has also inaccurately predicted a much larger set of outcomes.
The problem is there is not one 'economics' and politicians pick the ones telling them what they want to hear.

Called 'anchor babies' for a reason.
My bad, brain fart.
No. Not how it worked in Sacramento.
In Sac, the city council member's families owned the developers. They just declared the north Natomas levees '100 year'. Built a bunch of subdivisions. Then said 'oops' and resigned from the city council (but so far escaped prosecution). The people owning the houses are now paying a high special assessment to upgrade the levees to protect their houses from the American and Sacramento rivers. Which does absolutely nothing for those of them near dry creek. Which regularly floods from immediate surface runoff. They are actually overdue.
Truth is, most of Sacramento is built on floodplains, all of downtown to start. 3 regions named 'heights' or 'highlands' though. Two of which are tweaked out shitholes.
You can however choose your crappy location and not buy the one that floods every 10-15 years. Rather the long commute.
Poor people can't afford to fuckup like that, taking years to save the down payment also means they aren't just 'fat, dumb and happy' going in.
