I personally think that if valve with their size managed to make a game and maintain their infrastructure for other publishers to use, wtf did the competitor do this whole time?

...range from significant scientific laws such as Newton's laws of motion, to humorous examples such as Murphy's law

Wait, I thought Murphy's law is actually a serious one.

Damn, I imagine how you would try to imagine a higher dimensional construct.

I do have a vivid imagination, but when I imagine doing something disgusting voluntarily I can anticipate it. Not so much when I imagine it from hearing or reading a story and in the middle of imagining things.

Genuinely curious, why did the south send the balloon in the first place? The article only mentioned that it was led by activists and North Korean defectors.

If that was an oversight from the south, that looks really bad IMHO. Look how we treat balloons sent by China that is immediately shot down. It could very well hide a weapon/surveillance instead of leaflet and hence the raising tension.

It's the dino disappointing some other dino because he thought they would never meet again in their lives. And yet they meet.

So does x86. The difference is license. Just like how Intel and AMD have a VERY different design (implementation) as of now, so does RISC-V. Any vendor can implement it however they want, but they won't have to pay anyone for using RISC-V ISA

I'm being pedantic here but RISC-V is not a hardware architecture as in something that you can send to a manufacturer and get it made. It is an ISA. How you implement those ISA is up to you. Yes there are open implementations but I think it is important to distinguish it.

...there is a mathematical model on the page. The last thing I expect from an entry about soup lol. But a good read nevertheless.

Yeah exactly why I said that it is my opinion. But it is not just for PCB assembly, a mechanical assembly too if you only have the mechanical drawings will be quite hard to edit. To me, the ability to easily modify and redistribute something is what makes it open source. If you can only replicate something without the right to modify it then it is just source available.

For hardware, there is a difference between knowing the schematics and actually editing the schematics. You can have all the schematics you want, but when you try to modify it to suit your needs you need to either remake the schematic or if the original file is shared, edit that instead. As I said, this is my opinion and the ease of modification is generally also part of open source. For a simple part, yes it is possible to remake it. But a complex assembly requires significant effort. Say a roller needs to be spaced a certain amount. You may want to tweak those distances. Before you manufacture it, you check what parts need to be changed to accommodate for your modification too.
