"unrealistically thicker" is a hell of a phrase about text

firefox just kinda gathers these people, i was on a bug report years ago where someone paid a professional developer $600 dollars to implement "preserve modified date on downloads" then got mad when the devs still wouldn't accept it, as they'd already told him

I'm a fan of Hayek on this - I believe the market is one of the most incredible things every created by humanity, phenomenally complex and information rich, and it stands to reason that there is no way a group of people can ever hope to come close to the market's capability of communicating information about desires from people to producers.
And the best practical evidence we have is that every significant attempt at communism has produced dreadful outcomes, up to and including actual genocide. Communism can only work when every country in the world is Communist, because otherwise people will always want to leave for the Capitalist country where things are better. Draw your own conclusions about where highly visible activists really want to take the world.

good for them.
honestly, Uber got "hype pressured" into this whole "self driving car" madness because they didn't want to be disrupted by Google, but they were really fighting a phantom that didn't exist. In other words, Google did a really great job trolling Uber into losing focus.
Uber model is great and they should focus on helping people make more money and create jobs

I'm not an astronomer, but I am a photographer. The fact that astronomers shoot these ridiculous shots showing insane streaks across their photos makes no sense. I could eliminate those trivially with a multi-exposure process for the types of photos being shown.

During harvest there was a huge amount of currency outstanding, as everybody was paying workers, making deals and so on. When it turns winter, and there is far less economic activity going on, people much rather have more money at the bank so it can earn interest.
