That's an impediment, yes, but it's not a barrier. There's nothing preventing billionaires from putting their money into causes which are not charitable. There's only a disincentive in the form of lowered efficiency.

It does, via media queries that include resources loaded at specific shapes.

This is the best solution. Leave the pixel sliding to the computer, and focus on code instead. And it works when the font is proportional, too!

There's typically the "emulate a right click" button or a Windows button in between AltGr and Ctrl. Those don't have the faults of a SysRq, so they seem like good candidates for a new hypothetical keyboard.

What does "economically beneficial" means in this context? I agree that some measures of economy (GDP? unemployment?) would get better in this scenario, but the whole effort wouldn't serve any other purpose than to increase t

I would argue that yes, it can. If the only people who are interested in using the website are those who block analytics - and, given the demographic of a niche search engine, it doesn't sound entirely implausible - then there's n

I'd go even farther: what's the drawback of not making some alt accounts and still doing the harassment? There will be no physical altercation. And indeed, this is what happens. Alts are used to evade bans. Anonymity clearly is no

You're anonymous on the streets in a big city too, but people don't become their "true selves" just because of that. On the other hand, swathes of the internet are not anonymous, and that doesn't stop immaturity. I&

The peak voltage of the battery might be 4.2V, but the average will be around 3.6 nevertheless. The voltage before the energy enters the battery doesn't change the calculation of battery capacity (and its time to discharge) anyway. EDI

I tried Inkscape to vectorize a picture of a few geometrical shapes. Fiddling with paths and adjusting dimensions to match was a pain, and I gave up any hope to have a rotated triangle measured correctly due to the sqrt(2) in it. But Inksca

It's not the only way. We could keep eating grain but stop the multiplication of humans on the planet. But technology won't solve the problem that if human eating habits stay on the current trajectory, they will eat 50% more grain
