Wow, these are gorgeous! Can I ask where you get your DEM data and at what resolution? I’ve been wanting to play around with some relief maps of various bioregions (eg the Great Lakes watershed, Cascadia, etc), but I’ve had trouble figuring

I have great memories of traveling around the US in an RV as a kid. We never owned one. There are RV rental companies with huge fleets servicing these kind of cross country vacations. It’s something I’d love to do with my own family when we

I'm planning to sit this one out. Qatar uses forced labor and more than 6500 migrant workers were killed preparing for this World Cup. There's just no joy in watching it whatsoever, only shame.

It's an admittedly squishy heuristic, but my gut feeling about whether a technology will stick or not is usually driven by how people outside the tech world talk about it. Most of my community is outside of the tech world at this point

I think the point was more about reducing the saliency of bribes/lobbying than the particular dollar amount.

I’m reading “Parenting from the Inside Out” right now and it dives into a lot of the ideas you’ve mentioned, looking at how memories and self-narrative formed in early childhood, but also how they inform adult responses to the experience of

Obra Dinn is fantastic! I've not encounter anything similar to its mechanic elsewhere and I totally agree on the storytelling. It is definitely a bit gruesome at parts (although in a lofi way), but in service of unraveling a mystery in

I agree with your counterpoints, but I'm still in favor of decriminalization. Heavy drug use does have an effect on families and social institutions like healthcare, and it's short-sighted to think that the effects of drug legaliz

My understanding: there are a lot of varieties of coops, consumer coops (REI, the Green Bay Packers, in some respects) are primarily owned by their customers, purchasing coops like ACE Hardware are owned by a group of businesses to increase

Ah okay, thanks! I wish I read German, or that there was a cooperative for translating books about cooperatives into English XD

I’m fascinated by multistakeholder cooperatives, but can’t seem to find much reading material on the mechanics of them. Any recommendations?

Brando Milanovic wrote up a pretty clear-eyed description of the problems with worker-owned enterprises, even in states that market socialists look to as better examples such as the former Yugoslavia [1]. He speaks with some authority, as

Congrats to them! As an aside, I first learned about the Demaines in that PBS documentary years ago, but their relationship has stuck with me as a model for parenting, especially the clear joy Martin seemed to take in learning with and from

The code is trivial to download or even build your own, but the value of playing the same puzzle as everyone else is what’s getting paywalled. For a lot of people, the fun of wordle was solving the same puzzle and comparing notes with frien

This is a funny tweet, but in some sense it kind of was. It was a mostly universal, fun, communal experience that existed for a short period of time outside the pressures of the profit motive. It was valued for its use and not its exchange,

Totally agree. I picked up climbing several months ago, so I'm still green, but it's a night and day difference from other forms of exercise for me. I've mostly gravitated toward solo sports because I enjoy competing against
