You shouldn't accuse anyone of lies if you fail to understand how genetics work. Recessive alleles are not "in danger", their number would not decrease over time if there is no bias. That's basics. https://en.

Oh shit! Several times more? Maybe you should actually read some actual data about Soviet Union. Saying that Soviet Union caused more suffering over longer period of time than Nazi Germany is way off. And by the way - free healthcare and fr

I'm not sure why exactly subsistence farming households would have to manufacture everything -- farmer can sell produce on the market and buy stuff. You quote quite a long article - yet you do not give the full data. 7.35 labor hours p

There are many levels to this but generally there is an idea that politics and especially laws like these are shaped by those who benefit from them the most - big businesses who can afford lobbying. In terms of theory there is a Marxist not

I had a similar experience from severe burnout - I was overly ambitios and worked for 12 hours + poor sleep. Its like you feel dumb and that you will never regain the clarity of mind. It took me a couple of years to get back to normal (arou

Of course, I think you can really get the idea what is going on in Ukraine due to kind of similar circumstances. Sorry for being a bit too blunt. New president I think is a bit better than the previous three but the whole situation kind of

To put it into context, no, these people make around the same as factory worker. Work conditions would be much nicer, still. Schoolteachers are considered 'poor' by other Ukrainians (who are not too well-off themselves) compared t

Well not really. Actually minimum wage in Ukraine (where I live) is rather low, so businesses generally pay higher. Fast food workers are not on minimum wage. In terms of salary a school teacher would make less or the same as McDonalds work

In my country poor people are: doctors and nurses who work at state hospitals(most of them), teachers at state schools, university professors(both state and private ones), engineers who work at such government facilities as nuclear plants a

Sorry for poor wording - my idea was just to propose a situation where you have to pay your employees more somehow, like for example your lead engineer quit and new hire as a substitute will cost you 20% more. The real question is how the b

Here I might disagree. I am really against connection between productivity and wages, because I think the price of labour is defined by it's 'scarcity', not quality. Of course it could often correlate - a certain high-skilled

I think it's where it gets interesting. Imagine a situation on the market where margins somehow are lowering for everyone (all employees demand higher salaries, natural disaster, anything). All businesses in the market raise their pric

Yeah, it is actually hard to believe that it may be otherwise in other countries. Also doctors - especially general practitioners.

Hey, I'd like to clarify a couple of points about prices on goods and commodities which I feel often are misunderstood. 1. Prices of goods and price of labour do not correlate. As in decrease/increase in wages do not lead to a cha

Ehh, did you live there let's say in between 1960 - 1990? Just for the record - no, it wasn't a pile of rust by 1990. It had free universal healthcare, free higher education, no need for mortgage, abundance of jobs. And in my fami

Well in my country between 1945 and 1990 many good things were done in regards to education, healthcare, science, housing - millions of people got their first urban home for free. Of course it had a fair share of problems but I think it is

I agree that technically you can have two non-orthogonal values and would actual satisfy some of the problems of users when switching fonts. Like a checkbox 'preserve x-height when changing fonts' would make those changes less dra

I don't think that it does to be honest. I think author does not understand typography, he did some Googling and tinkering with font software and that's about it. The real story is more complicated. Yes there is no 'em size&#

Typography is a specific skill set, nobody said that it should be 'easy to understand'. Makes sense to whom - to web developer? He is not the intended audience. If the font size would be specified using only cap height then the wo

by artem247 6y ago
The inconsistency between cap height and em size has existed in fonts since XVI century. Why do you think it was unintentional? Do you think it is inertia that held font designers for five hundred years to not to make cap height the measure

by artem247 6y ago
To be honest, this kind of solution throws the baby out with the bathwater. What this solution effectively proposes - is to change the way fonts are designed. Font design is not just drawing letters, cap height to em size relationship is al
