Now... if you read the article. This animal lived only on this island, then, the island was submerged with water and "The birds (and all other land species living on the island) went extinct."

This sounds plausible to me. But you think that it is easier that somehow some birds survived the submersion of the island?

any link with more information about Levittown?

sarcasm?

What if the tombs and mummification's where ancient attempts at doing something like current cryonics. And we are just going there, unearthing them, and not fulfilling our future part of the deal? :-p

LucidWorks is not Elastic. So Elastic is benefiting from the work done by another company, without paying anything to it. Or am I missing something?

From https://www.mongodb.com/press/mongodb-issues-new-server-side...

> AGPL meant companies who wanted to modify and run MongoDB as a publicly available service had to open source their software or obtain a commercial license from MongoDB

With the new license:

> The only substantive change is an explicit condition that any organization attempting to exploit MongoDB as a service must open source the software that it uses to offer such service

Aaaaaaaaaaaand from the license text itself https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license:

> “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.

Like algolia

In Mexico it is more common to have water shortages on low income areas in big cities. Whereas rich areas can even have their own water wells.

But people tend to get used to the environments they grow in. So if you had low access to water, you end up learning to shower only once in a while, and you take it as something natural. Like the cliche (racist cliche?) of people in America complaining about people from Europe or Asia having a more apparent body odor. This also reminds me of the movie (or books) Dune. Where people from Arrakis are used to drinking very little water, and deem people from other planets as "fat on water" because they can even smell their "excess" off water on their bodies, and see it as a sign of wastefulness.

Talk about cultural projection...

> The massive ruins of Chaco Canyon reminded the modern Americans who first encountered them of the Aztecs. Given their love of clean straight lines, symmetry, and order, and their penchant for monumentality, a more apt parallel to the Anasazi, I think, would be the old Romans. Like the Roman colony, Pueblo Bonito was built to a plan.

Either he doesn't know the aztecs, or any other culture from the region. He had to go to Rome, discounting other great cities like Tenochtitlan (Aztec, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenochtitlan), Teotihuacan (Toltec? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotihuacan), Palenque, Chichen-Itza, Tikal from the Mayans, or Monte Alban from the Zapotec people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Alb%C3%A1n)....

And those distros usually have a checkbox on their installation wizards asking whether or not you want to install non-free software.

> What Karl Marx meant by that is not that religion makes people stupid and compliant (although sometimes it kind of can,) but that people use religion to soothe the burdens of life in an unjust and cruel world... and that the illusory comfort offered by religion often stands in the way of making real societal progress. People who believe that God alone will punish the wicked and reward the righteous and that every event, no matter how capricious or unjust, is part of some divine plan, will simply tolerate the world and trust God to change it, rather than try to change it themselves.

This, a thousand times.

Definitely. I think the initial setup of an android phone is pretty similar to that of windows 10. You have to read everything very carefully to avoid all the dark patterns and hidden consents for tracking.

There is also Julio Cortázar's "Rayuela" book. Which could be read in the traditional order or begin in chapter 37 and at the end it would tell you which other chapter to go. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopscotch_(Cort%C3%A1zar_nov...

So your small town has now several small tech companies? Or one that grew and employs now a considerable percentage of the workforce?

I really like https://platform.sh, it is popular with Drupal (PHP) projects in Europe, but it also supports python, nodejs and ruby.

Which talk? I didn't see any link to a video.

Something like https://form.io/ ?

¿Por qué no los dos? :-p

Sure is weird how much he's buddying up with all these authoritarian governments.

And you can find them when you need'em the most, when actually typing a URL in the address bar. I also use this.

Also mentioned on replies to that tweet was that maybe google.com doesn't have newsfeed functionality like facebook. But youtube does. And the personalization of search results based on your profile can also have similar effects.

Maybe you were right because they seem to have removed the video.

In spanish I think all countries agree on at least: desayuno (breakfast), comida (lunch), cena (dinner) as the three basic. But we also have merienda and almuerzo which get different times and portions depending on country.

And there can be other terms of course. In Guadalajara, México, where I live, schools say "hora del lonche" (lunch time) to the midday meal.

It is, that's why it was so popular, many people could relate.

You can adopt or you can become an "uncle" of a less favored child. In my city there are "uncle" programs in orphan homes where you visit them, play with them, help them economically if you can, even take them out on weekends if you and they want.

But that's how it has been for years, at least on third world countries. I live in Mexico and we know that the big companies here have been betting on that end-game since last century =P. The two biggest and most influential companies in Mexico: Telmex (from Carlos Slim) and Televisa are known to cater to the low income audience. Televisa's owner, in 1993 said that they made TV programs for "jodidos" (slur for poor people)[1].

could you share one?

stone age people to the south? Didn't Spaniards and Englishmen had the same technology?

The linked piece about "The Agency" on the new york times also is a very interesting read.
