I don't understand - are you saying I was wrong? If so please tell me why or recommend me some reading. I do know that other countries are able state-fund education, but I don't concretely know why they're different. I just assumed that "jumping to guarantee more loans" is an obviously bad idea.

You could apply that to so many things. It's just an appeal to emotion. People also needlessly lack education because they can't pay, but we'd be fucked if the government jumped to guarantee more loans and grants.

Yeah, I understood that, I was just confused as to why he or she mentioned firmware along with software because I thought firmware can't be modified by users like software can. I was wrong in thinking that though.

A lot of industries follow a cycle. That doesn't mean they're not bubbles.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, why is it an issue if the signal processing is done in firmware? Isn't the idea of firmware that it's factory set and read-only?

I can't if I can't access that link.

This is just a small example, but I know that Vitamin C inhibits calcium absorption. That's pretty well known among athletes.
