Would be nice to point this at (pre-LLM) Wikipedia and fill out Wikidata!

EU firms don't file EU patents necessarily, but rather in the relevant countries (including USA).

They already have archives with online and printed articles which they license to libraries, because the libraries take care of rate limiting and limiting abuse.

Thanks, but watching an eighteen-hour seminar on a book so that I can enjoy that book doesn't seem worth it to me. (Note that "to me"; I'm quite open to being a literary lightweight. My experience of AP English in high school was that it inoculated me against the great works of literature.)

I eventually dropped out of a PhD Lit program, but damn the AP English syllabus did everything it could do to dissuade me from enjoying literature.

I feel you on not wanting to read stuff that can't be read without footnotes.

Is there something out there to simulate the non-uniformity and errors of real handwriting?

Can you recommend one? I've tried Aeskulap and Amide and I found it hard to get the 3D views to work.

Inveselius works well. The UI lacks some polish but the rendering beats what most physicians have access to.

Why is an integer frame rate better?

For one thing, it’s much easier to measure spans of time when you have an integer frame rate. For example, 1 hour at 30fps is exactly 108,000 frames, but at 29.97 it’s only 107,892 frames. Since frame numbers must all have an integer time code, “drop-frame” time code is used, where each second has a variable number of frames so that by the end of each measured hour the total elapsed time syncs up with the time code, i.e. “01:00:00;00” falls after exactly one hour has passed. This is of course crucial when scheduling programs, advertisements, and so on. It’s a confusing mess and historically has caused all kinds of headaches for the TV industry over the years.

In addition to the other poster's on-point remarks, film cameras have always run at integer frame rates. We have generations of motion pictures shot at 24 FPS.

Many TV shows (all, before video tape) were shot on film too, but I'm not sure if they were at an even 30 FPS.

Wouldn't it be a "big loss" if the market believes that gold in Fort Knox is not retrievable? Same as in Argentina, where currency controls led to 1 USD in an Argentinian savings account to be worth less than 1 USD outside the country.

> The quickest way to be attractive is have empathy and not be a douche.

This would suggest most people are attractive. Is an empathic non-asshole really attractive, even without other things that make him interesting (e.g. travel experiences or interesting takes on things)?

If those people got a haircut, brushed their teeth and took a shower, they would be attractive!

Certainly more than an asshole with things that make him interesting

I don't think Moloch means there are no random acts of kindness (not sure if that's what you meant).
