    1. The success factors of startups can vary depending on the development stage of the company. As the organization moves into the startup phase, the strategy, core team expertise and diversified knowledge become crucial. Various models have been proposed to understand the factors that contribute to the success of startups at different stages of their development. These models provide insights into the seed startup process, organization creation and exchange with the market [18,60]. It is important to note that the success factors in one phase may not necessarily guarantee success in other phases [67]. Additionally, the choice of financing sources for startups varies depending on their lifecycle stage and financial requirements [50]

      Success factors for startups evolve through their lifecycle, requiring adaptability and strategic shifts at each stage. It would be quite interesting to see this study [50] that looks into different financing sources based on the startup lifecycle page.

    1. Meeting Diverse Learning Needs - Accessibility and Accommodations. Las Positas College is committed to creating a teaching and learning environment that facilitates equitable access and helps ensure academic success for all students. As current and future teachers, we all must think about how best to support each of our students and their learning processes.

      I can personally experience that Las Positas College not only provides stuents with equal opportuities for admission ,but also requires students to practice such educational philosophy throughout their academic journey in the college.

    2. These can be helpful for you, but there are also serious concerns. • Ai can change the authenticity of your writing, turning into a “voice” that is not your own. For example, Grammarly often changes my word choices so they don’t sound like something I’d actually say. That goes beyond just checking grammar. • It can definitely lead to plagiarism, basically creating something that is not from you. • The information is often incorrect or made up, for example citing resources that don’t actually exist.

      This resonates with me, so I think after I use grammar correction, I still need to go back and check my writing to express my ideas in a way that suits my style and tone.

      Labeled Forms: The forms on Eco Canada are well-labeled, which I think will allow screen readers to correctly identify input fields (name, email, company, etc) and guide users through the process. This is an essential feature that ensures everyone can complete forms without confusion and join the Eco Canada community.

    1. threat that drone warfare involves hypermasculine killing machines (Masters 2005; Manjikian 2014) or that it entrenches the distinction between “our” space and “their” space (Gregory 2011), either of which would make violence easier
    2. Narrative offers a way to access bodily experiences, such as those of killing with or dying by drones,6 that are otherwise “impossible to reproduce” by those who live them (Wibben 2011, 44)
    3. This can involve studying the experiences of bodies coded as women, gay, or of color in flying drones.
    4. The experience of killing with drones can be both hypermasculine and emasculating, as operators are both invulnerable to physical harm and removed from the traditional masculine ideals of combat.
    5. The technostrategic discourses of drone warfare also distance the use of lethal technology from its deadly consequences, using rational language, euphemism, and abstraction. The altered spatiotemporal experience of drone warfare makes killing easier, but it also raises questions about the masculinity of drone operators. They are often depicted as being in the domestic sphere, juxtaposing their combat experience with running errands for their spouses or coaching a kids' soccer team.

    1. Making Custom Typewriter Line Spacings by [[Joe Van Cleave]]

      I suspected JVC would have a custom cut platen gear, but he's using a premarked backing sheet to adjust each line to do one and a half line spacing.

      Joe mentions that the manual adjustments on each line is a net positive in that it gives him some time to pause and collect his thoughts before continuing writing on each line.

    1. carbohydrate

      To identify carbohydrates (and lipids in general besides phospholipids), you can count the number of C, H, and O present in the molecule.

      The number of carbons and oxygens should be equal, whereas the number of hydrogens should be double this amount.

      You can also identify lipids by looking for the polar "head" and nonpolar "tail"!

    1. It makes a lot of sense to have this different strategy of being rooted in the real physical world and have digital nomads being as like a guild of knowledge workers that seed their specialized knowledge because localism is necessary and good, but it's also not necessarily very innovative. Most people at the local level just keep repeating stuff. It's good to have people coming in from the outside and innovating.

      paraphrase - history of labor - Michel gives a nice succinct summary of the broad strokes of the history of labor over the last few millennia: - Civilizations have begun as slave-based societies first - Then when the Christian revolution occurred after the fall of the Roman Empire, "Ora et Labora (Pray and Work)" was adopted to transform work into a spiritually meaningful endeavor - Then in the 16th century, this philosophy was replaced by turning labor into a commodity, where it has remained ever since, - resulting in a world where 85% of those surveyed say they are not engaged with their job

    6. What's missing, and that's what I try to work on is, because at the same time we have this exponential growth of millions of people doing regenerative local work, but they're underfunded, they're undercapitalized. Usually, it's like two people getting half a wage from an NGO, and they work 16 hours a day. After five years, they totally burn out. How can we fund that? I think that Web3 can be the vehicle for capital to be invested in regeneration.

    1. In the 1960s, the use of LSD was seen as a dichotomy between "straights" who did not use illegal drugs and those who got "stoned." However, this dichotomy made it harder to understand why certain substances like tobacco and alcohol were legal, while others like marijuana and LSD were illegal.
    2. making everyone who was stoned a part of an "illegal nation." Government authorities and parents saw illegal drug use as a dangerous practice, and many antidrug advocates made little effort to differentiate between illegal drugs. The criminalization of LSD made its use both more dangerous and more a clear sign of cultural rebellion. Just by using LSD or marijuana, an individual was declaring themselves an opponent of the status quo willing to go to jail in pursuit of a favorite form of altered consciousness.
    3. As a result, underground chemists and dealers took over, and the quality of LSD became unreliable. The US government also began to crack down on LSD use, holding congressional hearings and eventually making it illegal in 1966.
    1. The marijuana trade expanded with new entrepreneurs, including border smugglers and those in hippie tourist resorts. These groups capitalized on their existing networks and skills, such as bilingual abilities and connections with mountain growers.
    2. Mexico became a popular destination for tourists, who would travel to the country to experiment with drugs, including marijuan
    3. The demand for marijuana was fueled by the counterculture movement, with young Americans seeking to rebel against traditional values.
    1. The media played a significant role in shaping public perception by emphasizing the dangers of drugs, affecting both public and medical views on LSD and its users. Psychedelic experts, who also used the drug, faced a dilemma between their professional roles and political pressures. By the late 1960s, the credibility of psychedelic psychiatry was questioned, and therapists were seen as unqualified to address LSD abuse.
    2. In the 1960s, a moral panic emerged as politicized youth were seen as promoting immorality, creating tension between generations.
    3. The media's portrayal of LSD as a symbol of an emergent youth counterculture further exacerbated fears about the drug's impact on society. Medical experts, such as Osmond and Hoffer, criticized the media's sensationalism
    4. public panic about acid made establishing research laboratories for testing underground drugs politically unpalatable.

      // - SUMMARY - Richard J Murphy provides us with a big picture of Trump's objective in his calculated Tariff strategy - It's not that it makes no sense and is a strategy of a madman - On the contrary, he has a very calculated and maniacal strategy that will result in significantly increasing the wealth of the elites - By creating high tariffs, he will bring about a global economic crash - Like the 2008 and 2020 crash, central banks will print trillions of dollars of money and handout bailouts - It is the elites who will receive these bailouts and inflate the value of their assets - This will - substantially increase the wealth of the rich - substantially increase the precarity of the vast majority of people - increase global inequality - financial inequality and - carbon inequality - This increased precarity is bad news for the climate crisis as a precarious population have less flexibility in reducing their carbon footprint and are more dependent than ever on whatever remain job and resources they still have - Given we have this knowledge of the elite's hidden strategy, can we the people intervene in any way? - We need to have an understanding of how elites see the world - The entire worldview of externalizing investment as a game of accumulation must be understood deeply - in order to find leverage points for rapid system change

With the invention of the printing press, written language got an exponential acceleration in intergenerational knowledge transmission. - This had a huge feedback effect on the oral language itself, increase the number of words and meanings exponentially. - There are complex recipes for everything and written words allow us to capture the complex recipes or instructions in ways that would overwhelm oral traditions.

    2. It's not a just a localist project. It's embedded within the guy intellectually, within this planetary. And by intellectually, what we mean is that Gaia herself as a living being, has her own will and her own agency, that through ontological shifts we can learn and practice to be in dialog with, to be in call and response with, to be in service to. And that requires a certain amount of humility and a move from materialism to animism, a move from rationalism to relational ism

But indeed, it's the responsibility of all of us who are taking full responsibility for what it means to be alive in these times, for how do we see how do we know what we know? How do we think about what we know that we know? How do we behave in accordance to what we see and what we know? And what is our set of ethics that goes along with that.

      key insight / summary - neoliberalism and industrial capitalism were based on Descarte and our separation from the natural world - Post Capitalist Philanthropy Webinar 1 - Alnoor Ladha - Lynn Murphy - 2023 - FIrst, Descarte separated the mind from the body. We have the paradox of: - godlike mind housed in - animalistic bodies - (incidentally, this sets us up for the exageration of the existential crisis of the denial of death in modernity - Ernest Becker) - Then we impose separation of external vs internal world - Then, we have separate categories of mind and nature, and we begin othering of: - women - other (indigenous) cultures - What Alnoor and Lynn forgot to mention was that there is another separation that preceded the industrial revolution, the separation of people into distinct classes of: - producer - consumer - Then with the advance of Newtonian physics and the wild success of materialist theory applied to create a plethora of industrial technologies, a wedding occurred between: - dualism and - materialism - Materialism decomposes everything into subatomic particles that a rational mind can understand - To those who think science and technology can save us from the crisis it helped create - the deeper understanding reveals that science and technology are themselves agents of separation.

    11. philanthropy is in some ways the the most symbolic externalization of neoliberal capitalism. Some people have amassed huge amounts of wealth through a rigged game of extraction and destruction of life. And then it's also presented back to us as an alternative to capitalism that somehow philanthropy can solve the problems that capital created in the first place. And in many ways, that is the fundamental paradox and the absurdity of modern philanthropy.

      for - paradox - of philanthropy - People who amass huge fortunes through a lifetime of extracting from nature, people and destroying the fabric of life - present philanthropy as a way to atone for their own sins - Post Capitalist Philanthropy Webinar 1 - Alnoor Ladha - Lynn Murphy - 2023

    12. we're really invoking a call for philanthropy to be in the liberation of capital in a way that can support transition pathways. What we refer to as transition pathways is other ways of being and knowing that are in co-creative relationship with life itself.

    13. we're using post in the way postmodernists use post, which is it's informed by modernism, it's informed by capitalism without being able to transcend it necessarily because capitalism and it's the most recent incarnation of capitalism, which is neoliberalism, is like the oxygen that we breathe. It's all encompassing. It's totalitarian in its nature. And it's pervasive. And so in that sense, we say we have to be informed by the logic of the dominant system.

    14. the first one is the paradox of pronouncement. And here we recognize that language is both incredibly useful for us and is evocative and helps us create and and see and be in this reciprocal exchange. And we also are trying to open to a non dual embodied cognition that is beyond the written word and beyond the hegemony of the written word, and indeed the hegemony of the English written word

      for - paradoxes - first one - pronouncement - the written word - evocative - but also hegemonic - especially the English language - there are other oral traditions - try to open nondual embodied cognition using English - Post Capitalist Philanthropy Webinar 1 - Alnoor Ladna - Lynn Murphy - 2023

Is that a limitation of the elbow? Is it a defect? That a really good elbow would bend both ways? Is it a design flaw that we’re stuck with?
