i think there isnt an overlap if you zoom in more?

just another user. fun app, feel like theres something here. as with all note taking apps pen and paper for me are just so hard to beat.

I find this line of thinking similiar to copmanies with "innovation" officers. That is, having an employee who is in "charge of" innovation implies all other employees dont?

There is a slight bug on the interaction. When you set P=Q or for example you can't get the one P at the top and Q at the bottom. The lines disappear.

Basically you need the "infinite/zero" point to compensate for a situation when you have two points completely perpendicular to the x-axis. AKA it is not intersecting a third point. So it intersects this special "infinite" point.

And conceptually why you need this "infinite" point is that without it you can't add points together properly.

Say for counter argument instead of doing this "flip or mirror" across the x-axis (in the interaction it is the red dot appearing). And instead the red dot just appears on the same side as the two points being added on the curve - without the flipping.

If P1+P2 = Q instead of this Q' that is flipped. And P2+Q = P1

If you try and add P1+P2+Q you would get either Q+Q or P1+P1 depending on if you did (P1+P2)+Q or adding up P1+(P2+Q) which are not equal.

so you need this red dot flipping thing happening in the interaction. However, if you have this flipping that means P1+P2 = Q' which is the mirror flip of Q.

So Q'+Q need to equal this special infinite/zero point to ensure associativity works.

The death penalty should remain legal. Yes/No

user clicks Yes. new one pops up Show Results (button) or Guess which was more popular: Yes/No. This is more simple than guessing a percentage. but both could work.

So you then show the results and then you show the "meta" results which is like a "line" that is labelled where it shows what others thought of other people. The dead simple idea is a nice draw, this like...ah hah learning moment to learn or see more about the world I think is maybe a nice feature to add. to get more people to come back?

feature request? dumb question, but can you add underneath or after you click your vote and before you show it. can you ask "What do you think most people answered" for that question.

It is cool to see the distribution of yes/no. But maybe when you do that you can do a kind of....how far off was i type result that lets people learn about their...biases? or just a fun surprise.

Anyways fun idea!

well first you have to imagine, what is a gain from holding stake? At the end of the day, is it really a claim on future profits? Maybe more reasonably just a stock that you can trade/sell for money. And what does one do with that money? Buy things I guess to increase your welfare.

Tax expenditure in the ideal setting would be spent on clean water, education, etc. things that increase your welfare. And successful companies paying lots of taxes hopefully increase the welfare of a country.

So it is kind of like taxes emulate welfare increase...is the way I see it.

I think it is taxes, what you’re looking for. Not to be snarky

I guess if spotify sues him for libel, then it will be documented the actual payout... which is probably higher than 12$ but lower than 80M$...

I leave you with an anecdote about him: once he was teaching a lecture and a student’s button was missing. He struggled to teach/cancelled the course and admitted the irritation was intense because of the button. My other philology friend told me.

Strange and interesting, makes me humanize and think about him in a different context.

kind of agree as well. linkedin premium is a good case people will pay for irl video game points.

Spoiler: don’t read this unless spoiled

But the part describing the teacher who wanted to kill the child was the funniest chapter of a book I’ve ever read. And I recommend this book based only on this one chapter.

I have never seen this kind of comedy in a book. Maybe something like it’s always sunny in Philadelphia or futurama comes slightly close. But I’ve never laughed out loud from a book like that.

I think this X-factor, happiness co-efficient or what not...that we see top athletes (who had a natural talent just like other athletes) talk about, which gives them that small edge that lets them be the absolute best instead of just, pretty good at a sport. This kind of makes me think of luck as a quality. I wonder if Big HR FANG companies are "watching" their employees trying to find this X-Factor in a quantitative way.

Would be cool trying to think of "work projects" or experiments to find those with X-Factors.

Maybe saying something like hey we’re you aware the browser throws this error NSURLErrorServerCertificateUntrusted

To point out the issue but maybe not say exactly what was wrong?
