Man, it's gotten so bad that I rely on Netflix to help me sleep. I'm also surprised they would release this. I think they're hedging on being transparent about the effects of screen time on people because there's probably a political reckoning waiting for tech companies if Trump lose this election, so they're trying to get ahead of this political possibility so they can stay under the federal radar and retain the ability to self-regulate.
Someone on Reddit made a good point. They might be copying Sonic the movie's approach to marketing. Release a ugly version now, and then later on, release an improved version.
Pythagoras could be the reason why. He founded a school(?) and many famous philosophers and mathematicians of that time period were offshoots from that school, but that's based on a hazy recollection of my teenage interests in ancient Greek history.
Wasn't that how they caught the Unabomber? I saw a documentary about the guy who caught him by using this sort of analysis, although his method was quite analog (scanning through written letters and Unabomber's correspondences to the press).

I'm often dismayed by the amount of valuable information locked in podcasts and non-transcribed videos and have to rely on goodwill of volunteers to give me transcripts.
Pycon did a admirable effort to live caption their talks last year but some of those transcripts never got uploaded along with the talks which is puzzling, but I suppose it could be due to lack of timecodes.
I've subbed to your blog and hopefully I can contribute whatever I can to make this work out.
Have you thought about porting it to Meteor's Atmosphere (https://atmospherejs.com/i/publishing)? You'd only need to set up a Meteor Developer account and then create a Meteor package file and export the library for Meteor's usage (afaik).
But does that even justify the police brutality though? He didn't want to leave without his friend (who was supporting the girl while she was getting up when the police pulled him off).
"the E-sail relies on charged particles such as protons and alpha particles in the solar wind. The idea is to generate an electric field around the spacecraft which deflects these ionised particles and generates a force that accelerates the craft throughout its journey."
I'm curious if this type of vehicle can travel toward the sun? My initial impression seems to be that it's forever destined to be repeled by the sun.
