Older people, say folks in their forties or older, grew up with the em dash.

This was interesting, but for the Stephen King On Writing Book, when I asked it what Chapter 5 was about, I got a different answer each time.

He did not.

I recently paid for Dell's next day service with a new PC purchase. The PC arrived broken, and Dell refused to send anyone out to fix it. Instead, I waited weeks for a replacement, feeling like a chump.

When I complained to Dell, none of their employees seemed to understand that they had failed to honor their warranty, or why I would be disappointed.

The replacement machine works fine, but Dell violated their agreement with me and so I can no longer recommend them.

But "Pixi" == "Pixie" when evaluated by humans

And a nightmare job for some other creative artist.

Don't give up already ;-)

In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.

Perhaps the problem is using money as a tool for valuation?

A lot of designers are now using tools like Sketch which help with this process, providing exportable CSS for various elements.

Aren't these free meals essentially untaxed compensation for employees?

I hope you'll share it anyway. I enjoyed working on this in school. My thesis advisor worked on a couple papers on your very topic, but as far as I know, nothing was ever turned into a product: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/6d34/878442dfde070ada9846fb...

Although this doesn't quite answer your question, I had a lot of fun playing with TogetherJS a few years ago; it made taking advantage of webrtc for a collaborative web game/tool pretty straightforward.

BB&T, through its "BB&T Charitable Foundation", spent a lot of money injecting Ayn Rand into college curricula:

Also interesting, this article about Venice, where (apparently) the wealthiest families in 1427 are still the wealthiest families

>The suggestion that there are other kinds of valid thinking besides scientific thinking is way off.

That's a very religious attitude you have about the scientific method. ;-)

Might we say that, based on our tests so far, the scientific method has produced reasonable results for explaining shared reality? (Defining truth is a different matter entirely.)

If you start with Mathematics, you'll end up in a loop: Mathematics > Quantity > Magnitude (mathematics) > Mathematics.

Ignoring this backlink, though, it would work:

Mathematics > Quantity > Magnitude (mathematics) > Mathematical object > Abstract and concrete > Referent > Linguistics > Science > Knowledge > Fact > Verificationism > Philosophy

The song Devil Town was written by Daniel Johnston, whose work you might enjoy. Bright Eyes certainly did a solid version of it!

You and your kids might enjoy piloting the ship using Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator (http://artemis.eochu.com/)

There was a game like that available on MS/DOS (and apparently other systems) in that era called DND. https://www.classicdosgames.com/game/DND.html

My thanks to the grown ups in the local college's IT department who gave me the shareware version.
