And didn't cloud seeding used to be chemical-based where this is electrical? Does that make this less sketchy?
I do find that I have time for side projects even with my wife and I working full time with a one year old but some / most weeks I feel like Im going to drop dead and that is in part because I find myself with little…
The last time I went to Wisconsin and New York it seemed way greener than ~8 years ago. So make that sample size three (or maybe even four?)!
Awesome recommendation thank you! Looks like New York 2140 is a perfect embodiment of what they were talking about in this manifesto.
Great links! Other related rabbit holes to go down might be Adam Curtis (kinda obvious) and Liu Cixin. Anyone else have any good living scifi authors indirectly or directly dealing with related ideas?
Any other projects (especially software or web related) you can recommend in this same spirit? Or maybe hackathons / conventions / irc / discord communities etc. for software engineers interested in getting involved?
Thats such an excellent succinct counterpoint to all the doomer nihilism we tend to slip into on HN. I feel like this should be on some kind of open source tshirt or commemorative plate.
omg I love that farming bot project! perfect concrete example after reading that manifesto :^) super inspired
yes... go on?
Agreed. The great filter and collapse theory in general are fascinating in theory and can motivate some great positive action but they can't undermine the fact that humans beings are doing better than they've ever done…
Can somebody please explain the SO2 thing? Im googling to no avail...
Personally Im into Cornel West but I do agree that the phenomena of celebrity academics / philosophers needs to be discussed more openly and critically.
And unlike every other Ivy League school it doesn't have a graduate fine are art dept. Even more retro.
A lot of talk on HN about drop-shipping lately, wondering what it is exactly? Why its good / bad?
I didnt read it as a criticism necessarily. Qrencode is just awesome. I like that someone made a UI for this though so non-ghost-in-the-shell folks can get down with this awesome use of QR code dopeness :^)
I think even the apolitical stuff causes a different flavor of the same anxiety though on some deeper level based on the comparing-your-insides-to-other-peoples-outsides phenomena. What I cant figure out is why so many…
I agree, I like the ephemeral nature of stories in theory at least (Mark Zuckerberg cackles in the distance somewhere).
Its become the defacto central hub of the art world, especially with the exacerbated decline of in-person small and large art galleries. For the overwhelming majority of emerging / non-established artists, if you aren't…
Whats bitcoin again?
I dont like them per say, but they worked for me when I had to learn data structures and algos under a lot of pressure. What I noticed (and what I tell my students now) is that they can help you get to a point where you…
Whoever you are you made my day, please post more comments on HN. For the good of humanity, for the children, for me.
Ive been very happy with this one. Bought it mainly for fire season out here in California but seems good for monitoring the collapse of human civilization too.…
