That may be true, but fundamentally this is about autonomy. These Nations do not necessarily fall under the jurisdiction of the National or Provincial government since they never ceeded their territory.

It's a bit of a grey area for sure, but this isn't about "giving the people of the forest" stewardship of the land in order for them to protect it, it's recognizing that they didn't sign up to be governed under the nation/province.

> You probably know more about your health, lifestyle, and family history than the average person your age, so you might have a different life expectancy.

That's an interesting thought - just by virtue of the fact that you clicked on that link and read the notes probably indicates that you know and care more about your health than average, and will likely live a bit longer, statistically.

Can you give the elevator pitch on why someone should get one?

This massive gender imbalance initially made me reject the tech industry and spend my first few years after graduation in a completely different industry.

It was painful to see the comp sci program start out around 15% female in first year and drop off to 2-5% by the end of year 4.

It wasnt always so, back in the 70s at the same school the proportion was much closer to 50/50.

Only a small portion of the direct route flies over the Indian ocean, the rest is basically over land:

> 5. Don’t relate.

I see this recommendation all the time, but I know I do it all the time, and personally I often _like_ it when other people do it to me. Sometimes it's nice to commiserate or share a connection on a similar experience, and maybe even learn from what the other person already went through.

Does anyone else question this common piece of advice? Can't relating be useful if it's not being used to steer the focus over to the "relater"?

I'm with you. They are so much like jalapeños, just smaller, spicier and usually really consistent. Although recently I had a batch that was disappointingly mild.

I think serranos must be very close genetically to jalapeños.

Anecdata: I've noticed a huge range in the way people are affected by chronic weed smoking.

It seems like most people tend to become more content with their current situation and happy to enjoy the moment. This seems make most people less motivated, maybe because they have less problem with how things are.

But there are outliers: I've met a few folks over the years who are voracious weed smokers, and have an outrageously productive output.

I'm not sure if it's because people are simply wired different, or if these latter camp just figured out how to use weed really well.

I'd love it if you could elaborate!

I just randomly started learning Ruby for shits and giggles over this last week, so I'd love to hear more of why not to go down this path (not that I necessarily would hit the brakes)

I've also been dabbling in Go over the last year or so and really enjoyed playing around with it, but I do find it a bit verbose. On the other hand, its performance is really impressive.

This is very awesome!

I've had a fantasy for a couple of years of building a physical device that would do this. I imagine a sphere that uses a pair of rings on axis supporting an inward arrow that can rotate in all directions within the sphere - similar to how a dual axis globe works.

Your software version is much simpler to execute :)

As a counterexample, Slack started as in internal tool (from what I've heard), and turned out to be a very successful startup. And it wasn't the kind of thing engineers don't want to build, nor an integration of a legacy system.

Maybe all of the low hanging startup fruit of that variety has been plucked.

Why couldn't they have found 10 more!!

Well earlier in this same thread:

> Visa used 189GWh in 2017, worldwide, of which around half was data centres [1]. That handled 111.2 billion transactions, so about 1.7Wh per transaction (half for datacentres). Bitcoin used 844670Wh per transaction.

That's about 500 000x more energy consumed per transaction by BTC than Visa. I guess it goes without saying that it's much less efficient.

For years now I encounter crypto enthusiasts have been suggesting that BTC is an improvement on the energy efficiency of traditional banking, without anything to back up this claim, and ignoring stats like the above over and over again.

> this comes up _every single time_ crypto proponents are trying to seed FUD

And it's worth pointing out that it comes up every single time without a shred evidence, just a hunch that the crypto enthusiast ensures us is correct. I'd love to see some actual numbers on the energy consumption of the banking industry vs. crypto.

Or lets be real, let's compare the amount of energy used by the banking sector to provide the same store of value and 3 transactions per second or whatever minor utility BTC provides.

> This page was intentionally left blank but we had to ruin it by letting you know.

Brilliant!

Whenever this kind of thing comes up, I hear bitcoin enthusiasts use strange logic to claim that it's good because most of this power is coming from renewables, or that if it's not then it's incentivizing the switch to renewables by increasing demand, and so on.

Bollocks!

Unlike other technologies that are incentivized to become more efficient over time, because of how competition over mining rewards works, this technology has the characteristic of consuming more and more energy the more it succeeds.

It's designed to waste energy. Even if that was "green" energy, it's still just making heat out of electricity for pretend internet money. Energy that other things could be using.

This is so broken and depressing. I had a tour of the EMR system being used in my jurisdiction and it was shocking how bad the UI/UX was. The scenario you describe is exactly what I imagined.

As a software developer I feel so motivated to fix it, I know a small team could do a better job. But I don't even know where to begin to try to enter that industry.

This aligns with everything I've heard from multiple nurses and doctors in my circle who work with the EMR here.

This is very cool.

If the creator is reading these comments, my one piece of feedback would be that I think it would be more interesting/useful if the harmonics were expressed as multiples or ratios of the fundamental.

The thing is the tar sands are a very high ratio or harm:benefit that we would be better off without exploiting.

It's a lot like coal - we're at the point where its abundantly clear we need to get off coal for the health of the planet, and luckily many jurisdictions are doing so. Yes, we could "reap rewards" of coal, and if I happened to be living in an area that generated its power from coal I would be reaping this reward, but I would be valid in saying that we need to get off coal and switch to less polluting means of producing energy.

Bitumen is analogous. We can do better.

Great reply thank you

Why is this "one-dimensional" rather than just a tube of 1-atom thick gas? Is a string of pearls "one-dimensional"?

It's very cool that they pulled off working at an atomic scale like this, and amazing that they visualized it.

I should say is all about. BC still does all those core most important things. Long live Bandcamp.

For me it was all about:

- a very generous cut for the artist - how well the site functions - it does just enough, very practical. Clean UX and UI - flac

It's just your conditioning. If you look at it from another angle you can see that they are actually harmless and clean. And even playful amd cute if you goof around with them a bit.

I think you're conflating your own phobia up with something more fundamental.

I've certainly never found them even a little bit frightening. I've definitely felt like "someone's home" but it's probably the big eyes bias.

Ocular migraines are different from "real" migraines as they dont have the terrible headache that comes with. Just the optical effects.

Good thing it doesnt actually trigger it I guess.

Sounds like mine are milder they only last around 5-10mins and I just get the central ring - looks like I stared at a donut shaped lightbulb for too long, and almost never associate with a headache (but sometimes with a hard to describe wooziness).

are these two words the same: "RTCatch" and "useRaluseRalativeuseRalativeImagePath"?

> Yes, "RTCatch" and "RTCatch" are the same words. It seems there was a typo or inconsistency in the way the term was presented. They both refer to the same term, and if you have any questions or need information about it, feel free to ask.

I'm intrigued by this "RTCatch" anyone have an idea what that's all about?

As someone else who has regular ocular migraines, this causes absolutely no anxiety for me. I can kind of see the resemblance but it's pretty obviously not one. And if it was, is it really so bad getting them? For me it's just a weird optical effect that passes... I really don't think anyone needs to go out of their way to accommodate my quirk.
