Another in the moment as I sit here waiting pushing daisies growing gardens waiting for my lady a kiss of air the touch of spring I wonder sitting idly my butter browns my coffee simmers I am left a wondering a momentary pain, builds up until the end a flash of history still reminds me of my mortal sins struck by thought the feeling builds hark my bungled words joy is in the sweat and grit of social earthly worlds Cleanliness is godliness way too damn up high dirtiness is earthliness warming next to fire What s'more the air you breathe, should be shared with friends even those you've known for not a moment past PM Go out and choose a life that makes you try and fail Keep failing 'til the weather changes opening up the veil re-tracing steps sets you back the frog slips down the well yet steps alight and wiser yet that prince might yet prevail
When I wish upon a star I end up seeing you Picking up the threads I end up where I begin Sewing strands just to see What they be on me An image comes to light My rods adjust to see Twisting strands, you and me A little strand of life A rainy mood to beat Cross each other in a life A bridge is knit between Two thumbs and fingers crossing crafting strands Child hands play twisting lives up for a laugh Youthful play a fullsome cannot describe my inner drive Lulling me mightily I close my eyes trying to epitomize Darkness comes first Then light, diffuse Twisting shapes, not a heart Hard lines, spinning apart Where are those soft threads, soft hands, soft feet Not thinking about what’s next to eat Discriminating hunger refined by thought and feeling Mirroring lust the should of feel Should I choose or just be, mixing sand and surf my foot leaves prints by moving the earth Innocence comes first. Than knowledge and hurt. Self-control yet again, domestication of sins The apple falls far from the tree blame the wind The early bird gets the worm, then a snake bit me The tree, a tree, any tree I guess, is quite enough for me to make a mess I will apologize, but not with words. Instead I will carry mood and feeling into action. Transmutate thought into being.

They never pulled an iPhone out of those deep pockets. You can be sure an iPhone is in most of them today. You still have a hard time comparing a HUD built for a fighter pilot in a F-35 with an AR device built for a digital work and life-style. Keep your knobs and switches, give up a couple displays. I'm no technophile, I think there's a greater movement towards real-world experiences coming, but I think AR will be more and more common for work and entertainment.
I'll bite. seems like apples and oranges, IHADSS tech is over 30 years old, is over twice as heavy and is a monocular display which quote When...used, the visual input to the two eyes differs greatly. This...gives rise to binocular rivalry, a competition between the two eyes for the information that gains attention Which won't occur with the vision pro. More criticisms in the paper you linked are difficult to also levy against the vision pro: Most problems that I have had are due to faulty equipment. Examples: The greyscale is not able to be properly adjusted. This leads to reduced resolution and the inability to 'break out' details uncomfortable, and the thinner versions of the cord gets wrapped around things in the cockpit. Getting a decent picture requires the combiner lens to be placed right next to the eye - anything interfering with that placement (such as NBC masks) makes it impossible to get a full field of view (and the "full" field of view isn't sufficient anyway You can still have your switches and dials, they'll still be programmable, but now with the option to keep them static or have them change function based on what you're looking at. I think that's cool and smoother than alt-tab'ing. Your choice is strapping your work to your face or to your lap/desk, like how you strap the time to your wrist. It's new, but not extreme. I also don't think it will be necessary for anyone to get their work done, but it may be more comfortable or effective. Just because your computer is now strapped to your face does not mean you're a slave to it and cannot unstrap it. That's is the slippery slope that everyone has to climb up off of in order to deal with the difficulties of modernity today. For better or for worse, in our own lives we have to find habits that handle isolation, distance from nature, lack of physical exercise, hustle/overwork culture, tech addiction, and mindless consumption. It's either that or you make choices to take temptations out of your life, i.e. don't strap your job to your face. (I'm also waiting for a good speech-to-text interface demo, that's the biggest need for a keyboard right now. As a programmer, I would also like spoken dialects/grammars that make speech-to-code fast)"The is a very poor system in every respect. It is heavy, sloppy, provides a poor quality picture and a narrow field of view, the monocular display is annoying and
Remember when this screen was undesirable?
good eye tracking effectively pulled into a user interface system is new, and useful. Plus the highest quality of any VR screen allowing you to actually use it for text or media work. A quality platform for 3d interfaces may challenge our dependence on 2d rectangles to convey information. It's expensive, imo not unreasonably. Is 3500 worth not hunching over a 2d screen all day to get some work done? Can a (well-paid) white collar office worker be more comfortable with a free-moving headset rather than be locked to a desk to rest their laptop and peripherals off of? I think they could be, but remains to be seen once this launches. I'll give it a shot. Not a fan of Oculus Quest 3 though, resolution is too low for real work, plus I don't game that much. I'm imagining the software ecosystem around apple's new VR OS will take a few years to mature. I like the immersion dial too, oddly the most dystopian thing for me is the how it generates a 3d model of you for FaceTime 🤷. Gargoyles are here ❄️💥🍕

Pardon the snark, but sounds like a fancy gift card rather than a revolution in currency. Last time I used BTC was to buy LSD off the Silk Road 10 years ago. After that the rest I converted into dollars so I could pay the rent in college, made 80 bucks off the price swing.
I’m sorry, I still don’t get it. I don’t dispute blockchain is valuable technology and here to stay, but I set my eyes on Bitcoin specifically as an unknown factor. Is it meant sit in vaults, like gold? Or is it meant to transact regularly, like a currency? I don’t think you can have both at the same time and it be a stable investment vehicle with better returns than real asset classes. Per the hardware question, the building and energy management systems are valuable, probably more so than the chips. Chips fail, hard drives fail, and like the Argo they are remade, the result of which has been a market created that supports developing these chips for miners, trains professionals in the maintenance of these data centers and chip fabrication, and identifies geographies amenable to cheap high volume data processing. Regardless, to speak of the specific chips, they can serve institutional backed crypto currencies performing similar operations. I just can’t shake the feeling Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme
I’ve never understood the mechanism behind bitcoin’s rise as an asset. Is it a currency? Then it’s value is in relation to other currencies by arbitrage which means small returns on small scales. Is it a commodity like gold? Then it’s value is when global currencies lose value and the global system slows down, but then it has to compete with gold as a form of exchange and maintain the technological infrastructure it needs to work at all. I don’t see the value and it makes me think it’s just a big Ponzi scheme, which is risky and requires a lot of attention as an investment. Personally I think that Bitcoin has been a successful subsidization for building huge data centers that will power our digital future, but I don’t think it will exist past that purpose.
No worries, yeah I don't either, but in my eyes trump supporters aren't typical GOP and I could see the "burn it down" sentiment pointed at the electoral college. There is a difference between political operatives and regular supporters, and its really only the operatives that want to preserve the electoral college. Most democrats and independents are for abolishing it, and about a quarter of republications https://news.gallup.com/poll/320744/americans-support-abolishing-electoral-college.aspx. There are small steps to take like getting rid of the winner take all system, which could be easier than abolishing the whole thing and provide the same benefit.
There was a moment on Election Day when I thought Biden would win the electoral but trump would win the popular. I had hopes for a bipartisan push to abolish the electoral college for about 30 min.
When Helen Lived - W. B. Yeats That men desert, For some trivial affair Or noisy, insolent sport, Beauty that we have won From bitterest hours; Yet we, had we walked within Those topless towers Where Helen walked with her boy, Had given but as the rest Of the men and women of Troy, A word and a jest.We have cried in our despair

I believe Ezekiel 1:28 is a description of a coronal mass ejection striking our earth, initiating massive auroras from solar radiation having dumped energy into the atmosphere. The angelic descriptions in Ezekiel correspond to images produced in plasma experiments by Dr. Anthony Perrat, as well as ancient art depictions. Imagine waves of supercharged particles hitting our atmosphere every which way and what that might look like. Searching for Rock Art Evidence for an Ancient Super Aurora More Comprehensive Paper: Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current, Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity Plasma, Solar Outbursts, and the End of the Last Ice Age Solar Activity Could Cause Lightning Storms On Earth Image of "The Squatter Man"The so-called “Stickman” is the world’s most prevalent petroglyph. Found everywhere, the stickman can be carved as a stick-like figure with a head, two arms stretched out and up, and two legs stretched out and down. The figure is distinguished by a male anatomy. The stickman has several variations: with a belly, “an inner tube” around the belly, and variations in the arms (such as one or two, up or down). The head is usually bulbous but can also be a cup, a bird, or two horns. A rarer variety of stickman has two dots on either side of the belly. All of these varieties have been produced in a single plasma column, a result of a time-evolving nonlinear evolution of toroids pinched in the column.
This paper directly compares the graphical and radiation data from high-current Z-pinches to these patterns. The paper focuses primarily, but not exclusively, on petroglyphs. It is found that a great many archaic petroglyphs can be classified according to plasma stability and instability data.
Familiar plasma phenomena on Earth today include lightning and auroras, the northern and southern lights, and upper atmospheric phenomena known as sprites. In the past, much more powerful plasma events sometimes took place, due to solar outbursts and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun, or possibly emissions from other celestial objects. Powerful plasma phenomena could cause strong electrical discharges to hit Earth, burning and incinerating materials on our planet's surface.
The arrival of bursts of particles trigger the aurora borealis and australis, but Scott has found a correlation with lightning strikes as well, revealed in Environmental Research Letters. The connection may not been spotted before because electrical activity can last for more than a month after the arrival of a large dose of particles.
Oh poetry, I love you, the many faced muse. No insight just some syllables to stumble through and use. ........ Poetry is knowledge, for those without a clue no chance at making sense at all, the written word's obtuse grasp at meaning, hit a wall, the thickness makes it true men of clay seek vainly with no veins to lead them to the fundamental truth is it grey or amber hued ensure words of meaning baked in you reflect the common view my rainbow is a fount of knowledge little known to you no foundation just the brilliance of meaning in situ ........ ........ I noticed once the lord Almighty in patterns deep and thick so naughty had made upon his plan that day lines of meaning washed away in sand so broken no colors show just tan and khaki who could know what caused the wave that shook the flow symbols, knowledge, I sound crazy I know ........
I once visited a mountain and was stunned. Mt. Fuji stood 12,000 feet high in a refined pose, pinning the blue sky with its white cap. Climbing outside a few summer months is very dangerous and I was lucky to be led from my path. God spoke from the mountain and Lucifer fell, banished, from the high kingdom, thus man finds his own rise and fall in the climb. I wanted to do it with a friend anyway, we could have had a picnic. Can you bring the sandwiches? Maybe we’ll go swimming instead, your choice. I like it when you pay attention to me.
A seed a seed it twists and turns up towards the sun Before it starts it is an orb not nothing else to no one To grow is to take a stand, to make a choice, to branch To choose a path, adopt a form and draw into a stance If you ask a tree how it came to be you would get a whisper I struggled to find myself then I got an answer Dig in, dig in, your roots are your strength Knowledge is choice, life is a chance

These events give me hope for the future as I ignore the present
I was where you are a few months ago. I recommend playing around with Digital Ocean droplets to understand web servers, they make it very easy (and their documentation is excellent). With nginx you can have a static site up in <15 min. I have a peripatetic posting style....Let me know if you have any questions about web frameworks, I had several conversations with friends that led to eureka moments.
True. To be fair, the meat of the information is Gates's comment rather than any editorialization around that. I think he makes a sharp point by implying that the costs over time of sheltering further refugees will be greater than increasing foreign aid to the African continent to alleviate suffering. Especially considering the numbers of refugees and Europe's history in affected regions.
Tsipras never wanted the referendum to succeed in the first place - Syriza mismanaged negotiations, the Germans have been ferociously harsh with the terms of the bailout - this crisis is everyone's fault (some more than others though)
the key here is that AIG has already been awarded monetary damages several years ago in the form of a bailout (although with harsher terms, hence the lawsuit). Why would you give them more? The judge is reprimanding both plaintiff and defendant in this ruling, which is appropriate given the situation
Well this is useless.
For Reference: Past Thread It could be interesting to see if people's sources, or even mediums, have changed over time.
Thanks! Honestly, I'm anticipating a foreign investment increase supporting the economy. I plan to move in a few months once I've built up savings so I can take advantage of it. Real estate may dip, but urban markets have a lot of growth potential - I know in Boston there has been a lot of foreign investment recently in urban real estate.
This has been true for the past few years, but I believe the tide has somewhat turned. Employment is increasing now; I've even made the decision to take a break from school to take advantage of all the new opportunities popping up. Whatever happens, I'll have stocked some money in savings and be better of for it when I'm back in academia.
