I'm very skeptical that one person can make a dent. Paging through the releases, they seem to focus on constructive solid geometry and code-driven shape generation, which I believe is a dead end. The tricky bit is having a G2 (or even

Same, but I don't think it's possible without a large and sustained investment into a free geometric modelling kernel, which can probably be only done by a government. Parasolid is powering practically every major CAD system. Its

I agree with you, but if you take an average person, chances are they will name one or the other as THE problem to be fixed. The government is trying to focus on boring, annoying things and is getting rubbished for it. Doesn't bode wel

Raising taxes is necessary because the previous governments have decimated the tax base. As of now, a median UK PAYE worker is paying about 13% on their income. A median German worker is paying about 30%. This remarkable result was achieved

Beautifully said. We are punching way above our weight in arts (disproportionally many Hollywood actors and directors are British), complex engineering (off the top of my head, Rolls Royce, Sheffield Forgemasters, and BAE are good examples)

But what needs to be fixed? Here's a small list of things that different groups think need to be fixed: - too many immigrants - too many small boat arrivals - the existence of billionaires - too much tax - too little tax - UK members

That's how filter bubbles and propaganda work. Take this case: the law was enacted two years ago by a different government, the regulator follows the law as enacted, and yet no one cares about this little nuance. In reality, it's
