In 2003 I was somewhere south of Fort Worth, TX, having visited Dinosaur World, and shortly after leaving we stopped at a cafe that had three computers out which you could use. I looked at them while waiting for the coffee and they just see

The formatting they are referring to is not that of the original text but that of the Standard Ebooks project.

The author wrote,"Because there is a vast interval between “good” and “bad,” it accommodates complex relationships." which, to me, shows they don't truly grasp the cultural context of his Chinese environment. There is the sam

That is such an unnecessary turn of phrase to use, "off the reservation", and it's time to stop using it. This society doesnt (generally) use rape terminology, or other terms associated with crime, deviancy, or other unpleasa

Color Scheme is indeed more appropriate as they area specific set of colours this guy has used throughout his career. I can tell you one more specific reason for 47x points -- he actually includes the hex numbers for the colours!!! No more

Check out options on https://softaculous.com/apps/socialnetworking . I have used Elgg, and HumHub seems popular.

A slightly more sanitized variety is two buildings away - Mirador Mansion. I still expect to see a fleeing android to come running down the halls when I stay there, a la Zhora chase scene in Blade Runner (less glass though).

The perspective of the entire article is confused. Abandonment doesn't overcome and infuse something. It's not an action; it is a state. And what happens TO nature? No, what does nature DO when humanity stops what it does to natur

I lived overseas for a time in an area that didn't use English. I loved it, enjoyed being there, but one day I noticed that I was talking to myself! At first, it was just exclamations out loud (quietly) when something happened around m

The movie, "The Matrix", actually is a clue. In it humanity is reduced to mere batteries. But in fact it IS the energy we bring which is crucial. No AI, made by no machine, would ever exist without our energy - focused thought, in

Can you give an example or two of the type of terminology you have in mind? Something like first tier, or high level, or primary, or what? Almost any term that I could think of still carries with it a sense of politics. Perhaps someone from

No need for the word "tribe" here. They are the Dene. They are the Slave. They are the Cree. we don't say "the German tribe" (of Europe), or the Swiss tribe. This term typically is used to describe a smaller group b

I made the mistake once of "flying to Frankfurt!" on some low-cost airline out of the UK and landed in Frankfurt-Hahn. Yikes.

Currently it's used "by the customer", or worse, "by the data suppliers".

You missed the point. The point wasn't the nature of the tool itself. Anyone could join, and one could chat with anyone. It was used "by the people" and not curated by corps.

Learning the alphabet is key for me. That opens up more native-langauge resources, for one. If you happen to be in a country where the language is used, you have instant Always-On practice. I've learned languages using Cyrillic, RtL, C

Sure, anyone who is part of a majority group. If there is only "one kind" of person with similar experiences, that's how everyone tends to think or perceive. Only when an outside enters, or the Majority leaves their populatio

Most likely these were set prayer phrases, like recitations of the Psalms, and not a meandering, "Dear God/Santa, here is my Christmas list and help my dog and heal granny" kind of prayers. So the content is already set to le

Like twelfthnight above, I think a major point you miss is: not to do this _for_ something, but that in doing it you will experience a transformative effect. Or, reading, or meditating, is a worthy activity because in doing so the opportuni

I'm currently in an unrelated field, but with a similar tension of unclear value while things work. The way to deal with this has been to keep a tally of checks on important systems, whether it's daily, weekly, monthly, with links

I admire you for pressing home your point that others are missing. I practice a visual art form (which I won't name; many other smaller cultures around the world too have their own) which will never "emerge" from AI _unless_
