Don't ban it, just require that next to the current price merchant displays low/high/median price for the same good/service in the last 30 days.

NautiKron seems to show the current hour in the top row. Why not project it on the tide curve?

All nine Justices agreed on the merit, including Justice Thomas who was in majority on Quill which he now voted to overturn. The decedent argued that the precedent, while wrongly decided, should be upheld on stare decisis grounds, and it should be left to Congress to correct the mistake.

New comment by kruipen in "Math Professor Fighting Gerrymandering with Geometry"

kruipen — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 22:46:41 +0000

What is wrong with gerrymandering?

It is a political solution to political problem. It pushes decisions locally (to the "laboratories of democracy"). It is responsive to "We The People" but with a built in delaying mechanism to smooth out changes. It generally leads to competitive (but not toss-up) districts (the goal is to get as many seats as possible so huge margins are wasteful).

Better comparison is tax burden/spending as % of GDP:

                        Tax %   Gov. spending %
    United States       25.1    41.6
    Sweden              44.5    51.2

The touch screen on the Surface has one killer application: scrolling while reading. It's very natural to scroll content with a thumb on the edge of the screen.
