Exactly "participating for costs" is exactly what is destroying the American health system. And it's what sets it appart from most other developed nations where helthcare works. The idea that this is what is missing, is one o

I'm sure you know this, as you have included a bunch of pop-ups that aren't necessary but websites do anyway. But for other people who love to hate on the GDPR, 1 and 2 are not necessarialy required by EU law either. Just don&#x27

The difference between "infinite" and "all possible" seems to be really unintuitive. The example I got to is that there are infinite even numbers, but not all natural numbers are even. This also maniests itself when peop

That is something I hit uppon recently, when I tried to find a binary representation that could concievably represent all real numbers, given enough bits of data. I don't think I've ever seen such a practical application of counta

If you understand games as a system of rules, an engine that lets you simply describe those rules and then set up starting positions becomes very interesting. I've been playing puzzlescript games from the gallery, as they come out, for

ads against ads (like ads for installing ad blockers) is actually something I'm considering doing.

I have become convinced that advertisers are a huge problem and not fixable. Helping to destroy the advertising industry might become my primary activistic ambition.

I too have a lot of personal investment in the profitmargins of shareholders. If you don't want to abide by the rules of the european market, don't do business in the european market. We prefer our corporations to not be all-power

A relationship that still includes advertisers is never ideal.
