What size ‘should’ the global economy be?

A centralised register of all property is not an unalloyed public good. Maybe hold onto your paper records somewhere safe, just in case of fire (or worse). https://web.archive.org/web/20070819153935/http:/&#x2

Subpixel font rendering was a cool hack back in the day, but it’s no match for high dpi monitors. Personally I could never get past the color fringing artefacts. Bill Hill himself talked about it as an interim measure to get people reading

Sad that we have to codify this in 2016 as it seems obvious. I don't think the community commitment goes far enough. If you’re in the business of providing a service to people you shouldn’t be discriminating against them on any grounds

You make an important point: treating ageing itself is superior to tackling diseases individually. Ageing is a risk factor for practically every major disease. Therefore reversing, halting, or even just slowing the process would reduce the

Living a healthy lifestyle has many benefits, but there's obviously an upper bound to this as a life extension approach. Who was it who said "Eat right, Exercise Regularly, Die Anyway"? :)

This standpoint is a common example of an appeal to nature. In my opinion, it is specious reasoning; death may be natural, but that doesn't mean it's virtuous. Your children are certainly the continuation of some of your genes, but the pers

On the other hand, it presents an opportunity in countries with a moratorium on using genetic testing information for insurance purposes; it creates an information asymmetry in your favour. For example, until 2017 in the UK you can take out

The meaning of the sentence hinges on the word 'describe'. I took it to mean a complete description. You're right though, it could mean a description of any complexity, something Mathematics is well capable of.
