      quote - intertwingledness of living beings and the earth - David Suzuki - if you're going to talk about a shift in our paradigm, it is to recognize what indigenous people have always known, - that we are created out of the elements of Mother Earth. - and those should be our greatest responsibility, to protect them for ourselves and the rest of life on Earth.

    2. Think about what is the most important thing that we needed the moment every one of us left our mother's body. Well, of course, it was a breath of air. That first breath was to announce our arrival on the planet and inflate our lungs. And from that moment on to the last breath you take before you die, you need air 15 to 40 times a minute.

    3. What Guujaaw was saying was, we Haida don't end at our skin or our fingertips. To be Haida means to be connected to the land, that the air, the water, the trees, the fish, the birds, all of that is what makes us Haida. The land embodies our history, our culture. The very reason why Haida are on this earth is told to them by their connection with the land. Destroy those elements, and you destroy what it is to be Haida.

    4. she said is, yeah, you scientists are clever. You can make powerful compounds like DDT, but you don't know enough to anticipate all of the consequences. Because, first of all, the lab is not a replica of the real world. The lab is an artifact, something that has very little to do with the real world out there. In the real world, everything is connected to everything else, and we don't know enough to anticipate the effects of what we do with our powerful technologies.

    1. The move has prompted fears of a global economic slowdown. This might seem like a positive for the climate, because greenhouse gas emissions are closely tied to economic growth. However, in the long term, the trade war is bad news for global efforts to cut emissions. It is likely to lead to more energy-intensive goods produced in the US, and dampen international investment in renewable energy projects.

      comment - I'm surprised that not one analyst has commented on the potential slowdown of a possible recession due to lower consumer activity due to the tariffs - Remember the significant lowering of carbon emissions during COVID? - Of course it wouldn't be durable and carbon emissions could rise after Trump and tariffs may no longer be in place but now is a good time to strategize how to decarbonize strategically

    1. equivalent level ofeducation.

      I believe that the more realistic choice of words is equivalent level of educational opportunity. With a classroom as varied as Mrs. Johnson’s, as are most classrooms, how can you really measure the level of education? You can measure what you have exposed to and what they have been successful at regurgitating.

    1. Einer neuen Modellierung zufolge sind die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der globalen Erhitzung deutlich gravierender, als es bisher von vielen in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften angenommen wurde. Eine globale Temperaturerhöhung um 2° wird danach das Bruttosozialprodukt weltweit um 16% senken. Bei einer Temperaturerhöhung um vier Grad wären die Menschen auf der Erde durchschnittlich 40 % ärmer als ohne diese Erhöhung. Die neue Modellierung bezieht die Folgen von Extremereignissen und anderen Auswirkungen der Erhitzung ein, die bisher meist nicht berücksichtigt wurden. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/01/average-person-will-be-40-poorer-if-world-warms-by-4c-new-research-shows

    1. climate futures imagined through climate modelling travel sequentially between the desks of expert communities and the IPCC, into the political sphere of the UNFCCC – leading to particular, often narrowly technocratized, imaginaries about possible climate futures (Oomen, 2019; Swyngedouw, 2011).

      Summary - This is a very insightful paper on futuring and how activity in the present realizes imagined fictions, which don't yet exist, and bring them into being in our (future) present - One thing to note is that there is a huge swath of human activity not explicitly discussed which is intrinsically futuring, and that is the birth of any new idea in general, including scientific, mathematical and technological. - Human progress is the sum total of countless individual futuring projects that imagine some fictitious, nonexistent idea and work to incrementally bring it into existence.

      summary - This a a paper that frames design and innovation, - among the most ubiquitous and important of all human activities - as a branch of futuring - Design and innovation bring something new into existence - That which is designed - is that which is imagined - is that which is not yet real - is that which is therefore a fiction - Innovation brings the fictional and imagined into reality through mobilizing and coordinating social behavior that realizes the imagined future. - This is especially critical as our species needs to rapidly imagine and bring about an aspirational future that mitigates our existential polycrisis

    4. The Anthropology of the Future, there are at least six types of affective relationships with the future: anticipation, expectation, speculation, potentiality, hope and destiny – with utopias and dystopias as particularly powerful affective motivators (Moore, 1966; Sliwinski, 2016).

    1. Longer term, divorce is rarely turns out to be as a great deal for women as they think. Books like Eat, Pray, Love – at least for a while a staple of women leaving their husbands – fill their heads with the possibilities of the future.  The media loves to extol this, creating myths such as the “cougar” (an older woman who dates much younger men) that sell them on the idea that life will be better after they divorce their husbands.

On the contrary: text is the optimum. Other types have more or less relevant downsides. text is literally the "preferred" type among string types in the Postgres type system, which can affect function or operator type resolution.
    1. Don't add a length modifier to varchar if you don't need it. (Most of the time, you don't.) Just use text for all character data. Make that varchar (standard SQL type) without length modifier if you need to stay compatible with RDBMS which don't have text as generic character string type.
    1. The long, thin spring-loaded metal flap labeled the "paper conductor" on the SM3 and SM4 and labeled the "erasing table" on the SM2 are all the same part. They serve a few functions.

      They can be used for erasing mistakes certainly and help to keep dust and debris from going into the carriage and rollers.

      The "paper conductor" description sounds like a fun translation of something from German into English, but this part also prevents the paper which goes under the paper bail and forces it up and back to the paper table and the paper support. Presumably without it, a slightly curved piece of paper might be misrouted to go right back into the platen a second time as the paper advances.

      This sort of paper conductor/dust shield can also be found on some later 1960s+ Smith-Corona (SCM) machines. For example, see the Galaxie II which calls that part the erasure table.

    1. 30% der Arktis emittieren inzwischen mehr Treibhausgase als sie aufnehmen. Außer dem Schmelzen von Permafrostböden ist dafür auch Zunahme von Waldbränden verantwortlich. Die amerikanische Forschungsbehörde NOAA spricht davon, dass die Arktis „in ein neues Regime“ gekippt ist. 2024 war in der Arktis das zweitwärmste Jahr seit Messbeginn und das Jahr mit den zweihäufigsten Waldbränden. In einem langsamen, aber sich beschleunigenden Prozess wird immer mehr der 1460-1600 Gigatonnen im Arktisboden gespeicherten organischen Kohlenstoffs freigesetzt. Insgesamt entsprechen sie dem Doppelten der in der Erdatmosphäre gespeicherten Menge https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/en-arctique-la-toundra-nest-plus-un-puits-de-carbone-20250122_VZUZXLOHEZESBKJHXGYU7OPYME/
