Surely It's also a balance of how useful something is when used correctly compared to the damage it can do when misused.
Subjective bullshit and I can prove it.
I declare that nothing you have ever done or potentially will ever do is useful. Now head off to jail, criminal.
It would be nice if all the tunables
You seem to be under the impression that the stuff I mentioned are or could be "tunables" -- they are based on specific conditions of a specific rendering scenario, cannot be discerned at runtime without a performance hit, etc.. determined by extensive profiling and statistics gathering, not your imaginary "tunable parameters"
It seems to me that you are quite far afield of your expertise to not know that determining if an edge of a polygon needs to be anti-aliased is something "tunable" - as if the end user is going to be presented with a list of several million polygon edges and enable and disable anti-aliasing on them individually..
I wonder why you bothered opening your mouth at all
Speed increases may be sacrificing some reliability or cutting some corners.
Probably mostly corner cutting.
Don't need the 16x anisotropic shader if the texture isnt viewed from an extreme angle, or if the texture hasnt much high frequency detail,
Don't need the 16x antialiasing filter on edges of a polygon that connects seamlessly to another polygon, etc...
These two alone could be huge
I was talking about how we determine what benefits society or not
Did you miss the whole mutually beneficial part of free markets?
You think this is "economics of advertising" when its just "economics" -- economics is the thing that tells you what is beneficial and what isn't -- its that whole efficient allocation of resources thing that flusters those that dont even understand what subject they are really talking about, but want to pontificate about it anyways.
Yep. Also, no NBA players with disabilities!
If the only difference is in opportunities in life for training...
Not only is that not the only difference, you ignored the one he specifically mentioned and showcased, which was cultural differences.
Why did you ignore it? I know why.
because you would look like a real fucking asshole if you went on about how the solution to the problem of diversity is changing peoples cultural differences.
No, I take that back... you wouldnt look like a fucking asshole.. you would look like a fucking racist asshole.
But I sense that UberASSIST availability is severely limited...
And we sense bullshit. You know why and how we sense it? Because you are using "sense" as an fucking argument for your Statist Fascist belief system.
Some people recognize the benefit of having the government involved in regulating certain markets.
Yeah but this guy in particular wants the government to regulate every market, completely.
Dont make excuses for him. Don't try to downplay it. His belief system is based on the notion that the government rules and fuck individualism.
because its really all about you
Looking at your posting history, we see that for you its all about government. You want the government into everything. You dont even believe in private property rights.
Happiness is twin floppies.
