They do that for pretty much everything. It’s a nice way to involve the public. It’s mostly harmless (you won’t use an address you consider sensitive).

It’d be nice if we could see the pixel in an image preview. We have images for every pixel assignable, some even as sharp as the ones the telescope will get.

The downsides of it are well known, however. Higher costs of living near work, less mobility (both home and work need to be mostly in the same place, so you end up missing opportunities), unmet demands for housing (resources invested in off

Telling the story of how we averted the current dystopian path and moved to an utopian AI-assisted society would be a very nice story to read. We desperately need more utopian science-fiction and we can't rely on Star Trek to provide a

Teletext also has the “smooth” characters that have inclined lines. I’d need to take a good look at them to understand how to use them, but if you can lose the vertical precision, it’s OK, because you pack more in the horizontal axis. As fo

I was going to suggest using the new 2x4 unicode or Teletext glyphs, but they didn't exist in 2011. Is anything like this included in Linux distros? I couldn't find it in Fedora's or Ubuntu's repos. I guess I'll try
