I agree there are benefits as well. But regarding the quality, I have a 4K mobile screen (Sony Xperia Z5 Premium). For others, full HD is practically the norm for higher end phones now. 480p is noticeably worse in some applications, e.g. sc

In a pure libertarian society this might make sense in theory. But when people are injured we all get to pay either through socialised health care or health insurance increasing. This is part of the reason why seat belts are mandatory, your

The mission statement doc for groff, in section typesetting backend, says it needs support for modern font families, better unicode and a more modern linebreak algorithm. These are serious drawbacks compared to modern latex. But the pdf loo

While his opportunity cost is higher, he has the luxury of having "enough", i.e. being financially independent. His focus on reducing bullshit in life and spending more time at home would not be possible to the same extent without
