Woo, the echo chamber.
Geonode··on The world map that reboots your brain
Globe print resolution is usually bad. Anyone got a link for a modern, extremely detailed globe?

Geonode··on FDA moves to make over-the-counter hearing aids available
>The reason behind the lawsuit? The suit claimed Johnson & Johnson had misled consumers and eye doctors that their Acuvue 1-day lenses had some type of special physical property that limited its use to 1 day when, in fact, they were identical to regular Acuvue lenses, which were bi-weekly contacts.

Geonode··on FDA moves to make over-the-counter hearing aids available
Buy dailies and wear them for two weeks. They're the same lenses.
Geonode··on You can't afford to be an artist and/or author, let alone be respected
No, throughout the article there are major hallmarks of underdeveloped English writing mastery, and overall the whole thing is a bit more florid than it is clear and to the point.

As a long time theatre professional, all theatre is non professional. Or rather, it's not a business, and therefore there's not an avenue to success.

All theatre, even (and especially) Broadway exists only because rich people funnel free money into it. Regionally as donors, and on Broadway as "investors" who almost never make a return.

It is a rich people's hobby and for those who do make a career out of it, it's lottery winning odds to be middling comfortable. One percent of one percent become well off.

You may also notice, as an audience member, that it is almost universally terrible entertainment. It just sort of shuffles on through the centuries with an occasional Hamilton and lots and lots of wealthy networking opportunities.

Geonode··on Feds cut Colorado River allocation to Arizona, Nevada as talks fail
This article doesn't really say anything. It doesn't say who did what. So there's no real info except that there will be cuts. But not to California, how come?

Who takes more than they're alotted? What are the possible fair reductions?

Geonode··on The Controversial Plan to Unleash the Mississippi
I love it, and I'm loving Baton Rouge.
Geonode··on The Controversial Plan to Unleash the Mississippi
Just moved to Baton Rouge. A few drops of rain and this whole town starts to pool. Very interesting region.

The Roe BP2 screens refresh at 7,680hz
Geonode··on A New Jailbreak for John Deere Tractors Rides the Right-to-Repair Wave
We're going to have to do this for cars soon.

More long term, we're going to need a digital revolution against corporate overreach, hopefully leading to a constitutional amendment.

Geonode··on Teens have abandoned Facebook, Pew study says
I think if we knew what Facebook knows, their recent flailing would make perfect sense. It's a LinkedIn for cousins and half of what used to be on Craigslist.
Geonode··on Why Nagasaki? (2013)
To the assumed question, it was a major port city and the home of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. To the really obvious question the article asks, the second bomb shows you can do it again, and you're ready to do it some more. It's a "surrender today" kind of statement.
Geonode··on We're improving search results when you use quotes
Please put image search back the way it was. Are the lawyers really afraid of Getty? Just buy them. :)
Geonode··on Where Are You Still Using Single-Ply?
Yes, I want the bowl that I poop in to spray back.
Geonode··on Pearson Says Blockchain Could Make It Money Every Time E-Books Change Hands
I teach my students to do, not listen. I demo and they work. I can't imagine using a book for any class that isn't specifically scholarship.
Geonode··on Pearson Says Blockchain Could Make It Money Every Time E-Books Change Hands
Professor here- I have simply stopped assigning text books, and I am far from alone.

I assign web resources, YouTube videos, and I give out PDFs if absolutely necessary.

I've found out that I can summarize on one page what a text book stretched into a chapter.

Geonode··on Illegally placed concrete blocks have taken over public parking in Seattle
In Seattle you can because the government has forced the police into survival mode. They naturally give a lot more leeway to people who invest in society than people squatting on public property without sewage access.
Geonode··on Illegally placed concrete blocks have taken over public parking in Seattle
You can't live in a parking spot. When the city voted in a government that doesn't protect it, it's every man for himself.
Geonode··on Aldous Huxley’s version of the Disney “Alice” (2020)
It reads very much like an English comedy of manners / Oscar Wilde piece, where status and social structure set up the problems and comedy.
Geonode··on The Harry Potter fallacy
Any cookie notification that has an accept button should also have a reject button.
Geonode··on Mullvad is now available on Amazon
There will always be crime. Trying to prevent crime leads to reducing freedom, and not crime.
Geonode··on Trudeau pushes ahead on fertilizer reduction as provinces and farmers cry foul
That would replace one big global asshole with a thousand little genocides. It's much better this way.
Geonode··on The Importance of Elders
You're right, but then what explains the exact same phenomenon in all people our age, gay or not?
Geonode··on Do we need a new theory of evolution?
If mice can inherit a fear of certain smells then it's clear this is all more complicated and worth a serious investigation.

Geonode··on China plans to turn the moon into an outpost for defending Earth from asteroids
Should probably put some missiles up there too, right, just in case they spot one? Can't wait for the Moon arms race.
Geonode··on Analysis: Starbucks can't be America's public bathroom
I agree. And businesses are mostly cool with it. But the problem isn't public use, it's when the most unfortunate people do things in there that result in everything from from cleaning costs to remodeling. And take an hour to do it. If the governments would take care of mental health care we could all use all the bathrooms.
Geonode··on Show HN: I built an all-in-one virtual production platform for indies
Cool, I'll check it out. There's a huge opportunity in virtual Production for software to automate a lot of the janky methodology we're using right now to put all the pieces together.
