I'm curious on this one, obviously a technical breakdown of how sentencing is applied in cases like this has been posted elsewhere in this thread, based on past (offence) history, non/mitigating circumstances, magnitude of the off

This "managing up" concept sounds remarkably similar to "face-work": "With people we trust and know well, we don’t worry so much about face, but with those we don’t know – especially when those people have some powe

It's also possible that air quality on the London Tube is much worse than the bus, at least for particulate matter: "Researchers found that a person travelling on a bus for two and a half hours was exposed to a third of what the

Lots of great suggestions already. Off the top of my head, one not mentioned so far is Ocean Warriors (2016) about Sea Shepherd chasing an illegal fishing vessel across international waters. It's quite gripping as a documentary, but al

Your comment about "having a vocal minority successfuly shout down dissenting opinions" reminds me of this article I just read by Nassim Taleb (Skin in The Game) which covers "how once an intransigent minority reaches a tiny

It's great to see psychedelics being considered more and more for tackling mental health conditions, but I'd still like to see the discussion extended to include: a) Other ways of achieving peak experiences and senses of connected

As someone with more than a passing interest in Societal Collapse, but without time to watch the video right now, how does Blow's talk stack up against say The Great Simplification series by Nate Hagens [1], Joseph Tainter [2] or any o

Thanks for this, I ended up down the rabbit hole of David Lee Roth and no brown M&M's backstage which is both an amusing story a) about how the media industry works and also b) of putting something seemingly innocuous but easily ve

"I consider average travel speed to be a critical metric by which to judge society", is an interesting take on this. I'm curious as to what aspects of a society it's measuring, what those metrics tell you about a society

This comment reminds me of this video, where a F-15C fighter pilot breaks down the "Human Interface" in the cockpit where there are over 250 buttons and various other displays including HUD and panels and a button they aren'

Not sure about country specific, but the IPCC have a climate impact assessment tool: https://interactive-atlas.ipcc.ch/ Maybe I need to get out more, but I was thinking watching the first video on that page, why does this m

Anyone else heard of Tim Berners-Lee's idea of hosting your data in pods outside the relevant corps wanting access to it and you controlling what's shared and how? This is such a completely different way of doing it, I'm not

I'm not that familiar with the Fourth Turning and this also originates from the US, but I did find it quite helpful when considering where things are, have been and might be going and how the US is in a cycle along with other nations:

This is very tangential, but in case it resonates with anyone else. I was curious to discover recently that to try and bridge the gap between what we should arguably be doing to tackle Climate Change and what we are doing, a group has come

This statement might be more poignant than you think, there's an interesting video here comparing Marvel with Star Wars and James Bond in terms of how memorable any of the music is, because it's almost all cookie cutter: https:&#

Thanks I'd not heard of internet in a box, I love how it empowers people to determine their own requirements and solve their own issues rather than just be another excuse to form more dependencies on facebook.

I appreciate what you and the article posting are getting at, but this is competitive, would it be better to teach your kids cooperation (teamwork) strategies first and competitive ones like chess/poker next. Not just because it's

Thanks for posting this, I always wondered why I couldn't be bothered with the whole Marvel franchise and this whole playing it safe, cookie cutting of film scores between movies makes the whole thing massively less memorable than say

That's an interesting angle, which I guess would tie in with 1) Nassim Taleb's Skin in the Game concept [1] which would seem to be analagous in some sense to creating community, 2) but sabotaged by a general (lack of) friction in

This hidden agenda issue can be very problematic, as you say it might be self-evident based on watching people leave that they've gone somewhere else for the "better" tech stack but you'll unlikely to get anyone to admit

Is there an argument, if you zoom far enough out, they are both strategic powerplays one military, one economic, but both with the same aim to increase influence? Especially relevant if you follow the arguments in here about the US being on

This is really good advice, to which I'd add: 1) Don't lose track of the outcome, "being critical can easily put others in a defensive stance and make it hard to get that information", this also applies to the phase aft
