You get that when deregulating one area at the expense of even further strangling others with regulations (a regulation keeping an oligopoly or a protectionist one is still regulation).

BTW, the most common visible problem of libertarian models. They get the absolutes right, but ignore the relative. This means that those following them ignore transient processes, and the model breaks halfway.

I've just realized that using FPGA for such products is economically sane. I thought before that when they use FPGA for specific end products, that's because of military-like expectation to be able to change everything, or because of lacking effort and aiming for fans.

Yes, all the computer-paper interfaces are cool IMHO. That DataMatrix and QR are mainstream now I mostly like too.

What I don’t like is the wide reliance upon open Internet connectivity, and even worse, upon services in it.
