Cultures vary. Also individuals vary. That’s true now, and it was very likely true 50000 years ago.
Maybe not all the rugged individualists survived, but quite likely a few wandering souls travelled far away from their original homes, and got to see different places and experience different things.
I tried Pocket, but it wouldn't let me edit titles, which was a bit of a deal-killer. So then I tried Raindrop (free plan), and I have been using that ever since.
I use "collections" to describe abstract properties of a bookmark, like "work" for work-related, "reference" for 'I have read it but I might want to refer to it later'. Then I use tags for identifying topic - but a lot of the time there's enough info in the title, and tags don't really add much for the effort involved.
"There is no well-defined time zone at the North Pole".
Also: "The sun sets & rises once a year."
If you move 1 metre away from the North Pole, then the first statement is no longer true, but the second still holds.
And "time" doesn't cease to exist just because you are standing on a large spinning ball on the part of the surface of the ball that intersects with the axis of spin.
"Conscious" is a word that has no objective scientific definition.
It follows that "slightly conscious" is not well defined.
In practice "conscious" just means "anything that thinks and makes decisions like I do".
Also, nobody actually understands how their own brain works when they are thinking and deciding, which makes it very difficult for anyone to determine if some particular AI software thinks and decides the same way that their brain does those things.
Truly terrible headline clickbait. Are scientists now doubting the existence of neutrinos?
Better: “Physicists cast doubt on ‘Sterile Neutrino’ theory ‘ etc.
Once again I suffer from time-zone-ism, where someone on the internet announces it on "28 June", but it's actually already 29 June and it's too late for me to fully enjoy Tau Day.
If it's like Python, but somehow better for beginners, I would strongly suggest an explanation of exactly how it differs from Python.
The audience for this is: "I want to teach person X programming, and I think Python is a good choice because I know Python. Why would I choose Dip instead?"
Better, quicker, cheaper testing is the most robust way to fight Covid19, even if the tests are not perfect. If a combination of testing technology and isolation protocols is good enough to get the "R" number below 1, then job done.
Having some false negatives is OK. Too many false positives is not so good, because then you are isolating people who don't have any disease.
Vaccines can have bad side-effects, especially if you try to develop them in a hurry.
The same with medicines.
Anything you have to put inside your body has the potential to cause a problem worse than the disease.
On a related note, was there someone working in US Intelligence whose job it was to tell President Trump that possibly the WHO's early statement on human-human transmission of the "new coronavirus" depended on information from China, and maybe that information from China wasn't correct, because, you know, you can't always trust everything that the Chinese government says?
