IANAL, and yes, you can not copyright game mechanics or ideas. This is why so many clones of every game exists. Because no one owns the rights to "a tower defense".
What? Of course the apparent affect matters. If the underlying physical principles can be understood, there is a possibility of increasing its efficiency for larger throughput. And if the underlying process isn't…
In those studies that show removing a lane can improve traffic flow or adding a lane can worsen traffic, that is only true of particular lanes/roads in different areas. In fact, it is more than likely that removing any…
The latter isn't used because it sounds cooler, it is literally rooted in the "kill" command on UNIX systems of old. The kill command is still used today, but can be used to send signals to running applications aside…
Have you actually used and looked into AWS? There are dozens of services that do a lot more than just what people generally think of as "the cloud".
The analogy is ok, but mostly fails because as a developer, we are not paid commission for each line of code written. Whereas taxi drivers have a very strong profit motive to act efficiently and quickly. I think your…
Regardless of its "technical" or "economic" definition, to the layman and all its users, Bitcoin is treated, traded, and consumed as money. The exact origins of Bitcoin do not change its utility, which is as a unit of…
I would like to point out that all of your examples are of expanding industries, not industries that underwent large societal, cultural, and legal transformations into entirely different industries. Society, culture,…
The general literature on deflation is that deflation is much much worse in the long run. In particular, borrowing becomes significantly more difficult and those who have loans are trapped with them, as their wages are…
