But starting at $600k for that?

It's clear they'd like to have a Lamborghini Urus like sales success that's not exactly a traditional style Ferrari but this thing seems like a total miss.

But Ferrari being who they are they'll do the same scummy crap of making dealers and customers buy the turd if they wanna get an allocation for the next highly collectable supercar.

It was everywhere. The smell of stale cigarette smoke was in nearly every public space. This was in the 80s in the US, so smoking was already in decline, but the smell was still this constant background presence.

For example here on the west coast we have a non trivial probability of earthquakes big enough that a lot of infrastructure may be down for weeks.

Another motivation is political. We've already seen efforts to restrict people's ability to warn others about ICE's activity. So I know some people that while not going full revolutionary or anything, are interested to learn about some peer 2 peer alternatives as a sort of hedge against things getting worse.

And some people just play with it because the tech is neat, it's fun to see how far your messages can get, etc.

As someone that was on the receiving end of that kind of violence due to growing up in a fundamentalist evangelical family, I will not mince words: the view you have expressed is pure evil. I simplly cannot imagine the mentality that kids need to be physically tortured to learn how to behave.

Anyhow, replying is clearly past the point of utility here.

This is not the history, it is a mythology in opposition to the empirical evidence.

Which is why you should read Graeber.

No, it does not, and that's Graeber's whole point.

"Markets" are not some sort of physical law of the universe.

A simple example of this is it's the norm in hunter gatherer societies to take care of people who never will make an equal contribution back in the transactional sense.

Because the social ties in those societies are not simply transactions.

If your model fails to accurately describe empirical reality, time to improve/expand the model.

I'd strongly suggest reading his books. They profoundly changed my understanding of how human institutions and society form.

Would using pectinase to break it down first reduce the risk?

And the 2nd chapter of it is after the ballot measure passed, the state liquor commission drug its heels for a couple years, because most of their executives are far more conservative than the median voter here (a side effect of a lot of them being Salem locals vs Portland, but anyhow).

Eventually the state legislature got fed up with the obstructionism and passed a "ok, we're just doing it how CO did, stop stalling" bill.

And here we are. The sky didn't fall.

There's a lotta ways ballot measures can go into stupidity, but this is an instance where it helped force the bureaucracy to align with the majority voter position.

What you describe is factually not how human society formed.

My impression from talking with her is that this is a relatively new and uncommon concept in the industry, but one that is growing.

Another big benefit is having someone who can help with the insurance companies. Thankfully that wasn't an issue with my dad, but I saw how bad it can be with my roommate when his dad went into a care home. Not just Kafka-esque but cravenly maliciously so.

No, I mean k8s style architecture, where you take physical boxes and slice them into smaller partitions, hence the dataset on each partition is smaller than the raw hardware capability. That reduces the pressure towards the limit.
