Perhaps to highlight efforts in some threads here, I'm reading The Managed Heart by Arlie Hochschild. Besides considering emotional work , she speaks of feeling rules . The latter provides a term for rules of engagement, so to spea

Probably right -- mine was based upon impressions. In terms of archives, and 20/80, whatever "Alan Watts from the archives" they now offer as a donation premium is probably enough for KPFA's purposes. I don't know w

If my notes from yesterday are correct, I saw conductivity <= 1200 S/cm in the linked article. Am I correct that this implies rho >= 0.001 ohm-cm? For a 1mm x 1mm cross-section, 10cm long, and 0.001 ohm-cm, I calculate a resistan

Pessimism: We wonder how these pyramids were build thousands of years ago, and thousands of years from now, people will wonder what muons and such, which some later mythology refers to, might have been.

You might find some tiny encouragement seeing E.D. Hirsch's "Core Knowledge" curriculum efforts.[1] I don't see it on the reference page, but I have seen accounts of first-graders really taking to culture-and-civilizatio

I've harbored a thought which, incidentally, might also be more reliably testable for QA. Rather than rely upon drag-and-drop for reordering queue entries, provide explicit move-up and move-down performing small buttons, one pair per v

Probably underpowered for your needs, but within a year or two I am expecting used Chromebooks to be up-to-date enough to include the current Linux (e.g. Debian) support. So perhaps $50 and will include keyboard, screen, and ca 5W idle cons

I've read Brand's book and your summary seems accurate. And isn't it sometimes said of still good looking old software: The extensions which have been added happen not to contend with the original core architecture.

This article has a bit more information and terminology. There used to be advice around "progressive disclosure" in conversation. You say something e.g. very-slightly-risky to disclose, while also asking e.g. a less-risky-to-answe

Upvoting for moderate, matter-of-fact language, although there is also exaggeration for fun when someone's values (including self-confessed geeky values and enthusiasm) are clear. YMMV.

Somehow, I am associating Self-Determination Theory with ACT -- acceptance and committment therapy. In any event, 'acceptance' and 'committment' appear pertinent to many comments here.
