Problem
Users hit play, pause, rewind, and scrub on our streaming platform, producing overlapping viewing intervals. The analytics team needs total unique watch time, but first the overlaps need to be collapsed. Given a list of [start, end] intervals that may overlap and arrive in any order, produce the smallest set of non-overlapping intervals that covers the same time.
