enviclash··on Ask HN: Activity and reading to move through mid-life crisis?
Take a very long cold shower and your survival Instinct will tell you what to do.
enviclash··on Ask HN: Activity and reading to move through mid-life crisis?
This is beautiful to read for any father, what do you think was crucial to build a beautiful relation like yours?
enviclash··on The abundance, biomass, and distribution of ants on Earth
Indeed the Ants model comes by default in the netlogo library, very instructive and motivating for kids.
enviclash··on Ask HN: Do you regret being a generalist?
Every two or three years I find myself with the need of carefully planning my next steps, so that my generalist pattern does not disrupt the advancement of my career according to the criteria of my environment, this is very tough at particular moments because sometimes you have less time available to work on your broad base and on the development of specific skills that are needed for some of its corners, but I still don't regret it.
enviclash··on Ask HN: About to have a child, completely burnt out at my job, what do I do?
Smile. Go for it blindly. Share the good news. Be extra kind. Be your best self even if you find it unrealistic. Go ahead, the path will clear for you.
enviclash··on Caring for the only known full kākāpō feather cloak in the world
How elegant for ultimately avoiding criticism to current policies.
enviclash··on I accidentally started a movement – Policing the Police by scraping court data
I would like to research on the data, is it available as a source? (Email in profile)
enviclash··on The tyranny of the supertweeter
And do you think that Discord will be one day A Place For Educated discussions about multiple topics like those we have here?
enviclash··on The tyranny of the supertweeter
I wonder if Discord will be one day a sort of "Twitter of Twitters" dealing with all these issues, with some servers focusing on Echo Chambers and other servers on either organized discussions or flame bait.
enviclash··on The tyranny of the supertweeter
Is it only me perceiving that people is growing aware of the disadvantages of twitter, or at least its frequent use?
enviclash··on Google, Microsoft can get your passwords via web browser's spellcheck
Thanks for improving my knowledge on how spellcheck works. Still, should I assume that a list of words cannot be kept? It sound to me like a naive assumption in the current landscape.
enviclash··on Is Silicon Valley’s golden era coming to an end?
Now, what about all big cities investing in SV-like start-up landscapes? Some took 30 years to build.
enviclash··on Triple-dip La Niña confirmed as BoM makes declaration
Last I read was that the meeting of ice in Antarctica is increasing the probability of extending La Nina (sorry I lost the source). There are theories about ENSO states becoming more frequent with climate change, the most favoured one was a more stable El Nino (see PNAS article by Lenton on climate tipping)
enviclash··on Google, Microsoft can get your passwords via web browser's spellcheck
I find this outrageous. It also applies to the text of all of my employer' emails (at least those managed in the mentioned web browser), according to a prompt (with no option to reject, IIRC) I read the other day.

Edit: sorry I should have captured that prompt! I am not able to remember what it said, it might have been from the company rather than the browser.

enviclash··on Kevins got a bad rap in France
In Spain too, and since school times. Ask a teacher.
enviclash··on Patagonia founder gives away the company
I see a climber's mindset in action here.
enviclash··on Mudge is a cyber activist, not a business executive
Non-rando people indeed can choose to have communication strategies, still I am not saying this is the case.
enviclash··on Gödel, Escher, Bach: an in-depth explainer
Thanks for pointing me towards this fantastic book. About the review, it says nothing about Bach (once only) or Escher (just the figures), so how does it capture clearly or comprehensively the book?
enviclash··on Mudge is a cyber activist, not a business executive
IMHO this read like PR written against Mudge, I am not saying it is, I mean that the presentation of arguments and the logic is too visibly organised and does not feel balanced.
enviclash··on The inflated promise of science education
One to one mentoring has been systematically underestimated in scientific education, content helps less than commentary on how to ...
enviclash··on The world has more trees than it did 35 years ago (2021)
I fully agree with you, but perhaps for the opposite reason. For me the little detail is each tree, and the broad trend is what emerges from a large amount of trees and what they mean at Earth scale.
enviclash··on The world has more trees than it did 35 years ago (2021)
Yes but. Forget about simple linear relations. Where are those trees? What is their biogeochemical role? How change in them and the surfaces they occupy interacts with global dynamics in Earth system components? These are some of the questions that matter.
enviclash··on Online art communities begin banning AI-generated images
Very interesting diffusion of a social norm, and probably easy to track?
enviclash··on Modulating Brain Function with Microbiota
I think the mandatory question here is what ferments can we grow up at home that have a positive influence?
enviclash··on Modulating Brain Function with Microbiota
We all fermentation shepherds felt it, right?, that sometimes a fermented food activates our brain?
enviclash··on On my resignation as regulator of the Dutch intelligence and security services
A true citizen, thanks for inspiring.
enviclash··on Is early-onset cancer an emerging global epidemic?
Since when are we using so many chemicals in soap and deodorants? Since when is soap the mainstream thing for washing the body? I am just curious, I remember an ecotoxicologist detailing the interaction of deodorants with hormons, it was pretty scary.
enviclash··on Is early-onset cancer an emerging global epidemic?
I suppose you are making fun of it. In case you need arguments to extend your joke: my friend and I were recommended pills made of colostrum of cow -- he took them.
enviclash··on Is early-onset cancer an emerging global epidemic?
One other aspect is also soap. Many people say it damages the microbiome in your skin
enviclash··on Apple used to sell wonder. Now it sells fear
There is a false feeling of security and absolute safety provided by this service. It is an illusion 99.99% of the times. There is another 0.009% when you are too far to get help in time. Then there is the 0.001 when you get lost in a canyon or harmed at rescue distance without cellular network -- the prominent case of that German family in a Canyon in California in a scorching day.
