We need this. The five day week is designed to suck all the mental life of an average mental worker person, and it leaves basically nothing if they "do their job really well".

Advocacy groups:

Why was this so rarely used as of 2020s compared to ISBNs? It would have been perfect for helping find obscure records from Chinese traditional music and Indian classical music!

But instead we have Discogs, which is not too bad.

Namecoin examples are catalogued at: punycodes.xyz. The are small Unicode art or emoji code.

There seems to be nothing of particular artistic value as far as we've seen so far, the only interest in such tokens seems to be that:

Super-resolution means resolution beyond the diffraction limit.

First you shine a lot of light which saturates most fluorophores, leaving very few active.

They you can observe fluorophores firing one by one. Their exact position is a bit stochastic and beyond the diffraction limit, but so long as there aren't to many in close proximity, you can wait for it to fire a bunch of times, and the center of the Gaussian is the actual location.

From this we see that super-resolution microscopy is basically a space-time tradeoff: the more time we wait, the better spacial resolution we get. But we can't do it if things are moving too fast in the sample.

Tradeoff with cryoEM: you get to see things moving in live cell. Electron microscopy fully kills cells, so you have no chance of seeing anything that moves ever.

Caveats:

Ciro can relate strongly to the level of passion depicted in this film: Section "Don't be a pussy". It almost feels like a business film in that a sense, where the startup is the authors career and passions.
