An adversarial approach would also be interesting: People could open positions of "I would buy a right to use this copyright for $XYZ if it was released today"

So the copyright holder would have the option to EITHER cashout at any point (and consider the work/invested effort paid) OR counter-bid the sum of everyone to keep it.

Not sure about the implications, but it would encourage the most (economically) productive route

It's not about syntax, it's about quickly seeing language choices and verbosity of various constructs. There is a lot more information in a good example rather than a front page feature list.

Not sure if it applies here, also not a physicist, so just some food for thought:

I've noticed that many of humanity's models try to simplify things into neat models and that results in either - many specific models, each focusing on a specific macro-behaviour - one statistical model which basically describes the underlying process as non-deterministic

Couple that with performance debugging 101: Measuring the performance of a function changes the performance of a function

(Fudamentally because you can't see without interacting, and sometimes that interaction creates weird results)

And the conclusion is that Quantum Mechanics is a statistical model of a complex hot path which we're trying to measure, so of course it's going to be weird and hard to so.

The simplest explanation I've heard is that hyperthreading is like using two hands to keep the mouth always full(whereas with only one sometimes it remains idle). Once you can keep it always full, there's no use adding more hands.

Sakura-chan(catgirl skin) chasing my mouse feels offended. She is very energetic and relevant all day.

everything is discrete if you look fine enough. locally (household-fine) what you say would be nice, however the moment you start travelling informational nightmares would ensue due to human nature, nobody (in the grand scheme) would use the UTC time since local is more useful/frequent so all travellers need translators which can seamlessly translate local time to be as useful as current narional timezones are. such a translator would either be manually preprogrammed(cumbersome) or GPS, computer-powered which brings its own troubles. I think countrywide(as in european country or american state) is a pretty good scale tradedoff between ease of use and accuracy which is here to stay until GPS and computation are ubiquitous(as in every grandma has access to a smart device with GPS she can leave on all day and can be read as easily as a wall clock while having dough all over her hands) sorriez for wall of text :)
