Even better: allow theaters to charge different prices to different movies. It's ridiculous that a big budget action movie with A-list cast costs the same to watch as a cheap indie film.
Smaller movies could get a huge boost if they cost less to see than the big franchise releases, and the difference in filled vs empty seats would really add up.
> We connect bionic arms to fungi and plants so they can play music and be creative. Our art explores new ways of thinking about the natural world.
>All life creates bio-electrical signals. Our equipment converts them into signals that control the bionic arms. Recent research suggests that fungi and plants exhibit surprising levels of intelligence, including decision-making, learning, memory and the ability to respond to sounds waves.
Has it? I recently tried to organize a little AoE2 LAN party but we got stuck because the DE was too heavy for our old computers and the HD Edition was no longer for sale on Steam.
(Apologies if this was answered in the video, I'll watch it later tonight)
This is the first I've heard of "direct-join union"s. DuckDuckGo only brings up variations of this article, or the pages to join individual, employer specific unions.
Where can I learn more about this type of union? Is there one for US IT workers?
Combining engineering teams of very similar products will inevitably lead to consolidation. The key leaders of these teams will leave. The open source projects will starve. No customers will start a new project with these products when it's obvious they won't exist in a few years. Red Hat just lost all of its advantage in selling services for existing customers if these products now belong to a different company.
A club I'm active with posts everything to Meetup and Facebook. Meetup is the "official" source of truth for posting events and photos and limited chats related to the events themselves ("Where are we parking?" type questions). Facebook for social chat and announcing "unofficial" hangouts/parties.
>Our results show that regulators must consider mass economic grid defection of PV-diesel generator-battery systems as a very real possibility in the near future. To prevent utility death spirals and increased carbon emissions, it’s imperative we have rate structures that encourage solar producers to remain on the grid.
>The worst thing regulators can do is allow the electric utilities to increase unavoidable costs for their short-term profits. This can backfire, as utilities will lose customers entirely in the long run. With solar and battery costs continuing to decline, this problem is only becoming more urgent.
Nationalize all the power companies, run them with low cost to consumer, zero carbon to the planet mandate.
Why do we even allow private utility companies to turn a profit off a natural monopoly?
The seed was still alive for those 1000 years. Still respirating from stored fats and carbs. Still performing cellular activities like DNA replication and repair.
Also plants often have many duplicate copies of their genome per cell.
This as good a place as any to mention one of my favorite authors, Dishwasher Pete[0], who wrote a zine about dishwashing and dishwashers[1], and a memoir about his quest to wash dishes in all 50 states[2].
"Whuffie" is a reference to the Cory Doctorow novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. It's set a post-scarcity society, Whuffie acts as a sort of currency and is earned from clout and social status. The protagonist goes from being wealthy in Whuffie to destitute and needs to earn his way back up.
I read it a long time ago as a weird story. Might be time for a reread.
