As mentioned in other replies, this doesn't fully solve a lot of the cases. I think z order curves might actually be better here, they are slightly less accurate individually, but in a way that would seemingly minimize the worst case r

There's very little actual evidence for modern day patents being a value-add to society. see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004873339... . Particular industries, eg drug patenting, cou

Perhaps a controversial opinion, but to me this really just shows the major flaw with our current text-file-based model for programming languages; it mixes the actual content of our programming with its presentation. It's time we begin

The undersupply of 3 bedrooms is real, in many neighborhoods in my city you just can't find them. Anecdotally, the lack of 3-4 bedroom apartments has been the major driver of couples I know, who were aiming to start families and who wo

I think the article gets it wrong when it says nationalism is the biggest issue the UBI movement currently faces. Our current waves of nationalism have populist roots, and therefore is not inherently incompatible with UBI policies. However,

One thing the article doesn't get quite right is you can't compare ppd of a virtual display directly to an IRL screen. The virtual pixels are not 1:1 to device pixels. Your perspective is constantly shifting slightly and the virtu

The choice of 10% is extremely peculiar. Top 1%: 40% to 54% -> +14% Top 10%: 77% to 93% -> +16% Top 10% minus the top 1%: 37% to 39% -> +2% Essentially this was all the top 1% and the rest of the 10%ers barely budged in ownership p
