I was trying to stick to the example, but I agree, that getting away with something doesn't determine if it is right or wrong. And the whole concept of that makes for shaky ground for any form of legal or ethical argument.
I think the difference here is that you guys are talking ethics. And in fact what were talking about is enforcement. While its unethical to pick one flower (in it's purest form, robbing the commons of the beauty of a flower), it won't be enforced.
Ok, what is so special about understanding anyway? we understand way less things than we do no understand.
IMO, we're just giving special weight to understanding just because it gives people wages. Someone's specific brain structure should not privilege them over others. UBI or something equitable on those lines is the answer.
My mother's iPhone 11 or 12 (forgot which one of the two) works perfectly fine. I think performance in general has a complicating factor, because iPhones are downclocked when the battery has degraded to avoid voltage spikes that can lead to instability with a bad battery. In many cases, performance improves after battery replacement.
iPhone 4 and 5 are really a different era when smartphone software and hardware was still developing very rapidly. I mean, the iPhone 5s alone introduced: a 64-bit CPU, a secure enclave, Touch ID, the first iPhone with separate co-processor to process motion data. Similarly, the iPhone 5 doubled the RAM compared to the 4s and had roughly twice better CPU and GPU performance than the 4s. Such changes are unheard of nowadays.
I don’t know the numbers but that spacex has more money moving around does not seem surprising. Launching 100s of rockets per year is not free?
Also did you do an accumulation over their existence? Blue had two orbital launches so far.
