I really like the word "yeet". 10 years old this month I think [0]. I really need to look up the origin sometime

That sounds really tough. I guess you're saying that you suffered no long term effects to your ability to move and sense but is there a way to determine if your anxiety and emotional resilience problems are a direct result of the stroke?

The novel version. Also bad.

Thanks for that link.

Electronics Australia anyone: https://archive.org/details/EA1998/EA%201998-01%20January/ ??

They might get the name to fit in that field but what are you going to do about date of birth??

It also downplays the horrors of current slavery that people are subject to around the world.

So they are expensive because they have a high price tag

Perhaps it needs to be like vaccines and immune systems... pay someone to scam your elderly relatives for small amounts of money so they learn.

"My future self is a thing that doesn’t exist."

You're referring to a thing that you claim doesn't exist. That's interesting.

Do we have proof for existence or existence? We could have an experiment where we attempt to measure the existence at that future time.

I'm worried that leads to a train of thought claiming that the future doesn't exist.

I wish that they were clear about whether they were talking about dark energy or dark matter. Quotes from the author of the paper seem to use both terms which is confusing.

All I know is that dark energy != dark matter

"Despite the name, dark energy isn’t like dark matter, except that they’re both invisible. Dark matter pulls galaxies together, while dark energy pushes them apart." - 0

There's some irony here of trying to force another HN user to understand that rationality depends on your base understanding of how the world works.

It would be useful if the Everest routes had active base stations all the way up and down the route. They could form a mesh network and precisely locate every climbers on the way up and down the mountain. Put them in place at the beginning of each season.

I'm aware that this dramatically changes the 'adventure' of climbing Everest but I don't care because if it saves one Sherpa or guide then I think it will have served its purpose

Hypothetically if this was rephrased as "he was very rational and threatened other children to play with him and treat him like a friend" does that make sense to you?

"indigenous tradition or something that might distort or endanger"

Are certain groups not allowed to change? Why use the word distort or endanger?

We aren't talking about the discussions inside the community. We are talking about people outside the community applying judgements to their decisions and actions.

Why would Indigenous people have to follow tradition? I believe it is racist (or sexist) to say that a group of people cannot do something because that is not something they've done in the past.

For Mr Gordon Price to imply that a group should not do something because it has not been done before is him trying to deny their agency.

You could take the word fuck out of the original comment and it would still have the clear reasoning that Gordon Price as a white person should not be telling an indigenous group that what they want to do is not the "Indigenous way".

White person should not define "Indigenous way".

How else can we misinterpret this argument?

I agree that's absolutely a possibility. Also not a Canadian. But I will point out that superficially there doesn't seem to be opposition to development on the land. The opposition appears to be based on what is being built rather than where.

I think you need to provide some links with context because the article makes a compelling case that people are trying to block an indigenous group from exercising their agency.

I think the quote is from a white man called Gordon Price.

Full quote to assist you.

"In 2022, Gordon Price, a prominent Vancouver urban planner and a former city councillor, told Gitxsan reporter Angela Sterritt, “When you’re building 30, 40-storey high rises out of concrete, there’s a big gap between that and an Indigenous way of building."

"White man" can be used in that form when the white man appears to be telling a different culture what they can or cannot do or be.

I stand enlightened. Focus was broadened ages ago. I had the wrong idea about the WSJ

One passenger trip to Europe from where? It's the internet. No one knows where you live!

It's obviously a sad story but does anyone else feel that the Wall Street Journal running this story is a just a sad sign of a website losing its focus.

From the first caption: "She is no doubt waiting for her husband to pause his file work ...snip... Some things never change with time or place, so she probably isn’t standing there silently, but I will leave the subject of the one-sided conversation to Gentle Reader’s imagination."

It's funny but I look at that picture and think they could be a happy couple talking to each other. It's a pity that the website owner chose to insert a stereotyped assumption.

I sense a paradox there. They are insisting on calling it a lie but really it isn't

Can you explain which tools are now automated for you?

Sorry can you elaborate or provide a link to what you're alluding to? Is Adderall generally considered an intelligence booster?

In the polar regions of the Sun where the surface temperatures might be lower....

/jk

On a serious note scientists have long been able to measure that the sun has a large amount of energy available to any possible inhabitants. Until we understood enough physics around plasmas and the composition of stars it makes perfect sense to hypothesise the existence of creatures/life that would be able to utilise that energy for their own version of high temperature life. To be clear, I think that the extreme conditions in every part of the Sun preclude any possibility of life or life like processes.

Unashamed to admit my first action on the comment page was to Ctrl-F for 'tribute'

It's the British way to hate on things that are quite useful parts of their society. Trains, highways, airports, health system, garbage collection, emergency services, etc all work remarkably well and people just choose to look at the negative aspects and tell negative anecdotes. It does feel like it's counterproductive on a society level.

Thank you. Der Spiegel had a paywall as well which slowed me down
