No equivalent as far as I know but would love to see one. The function it served has been scattered across Youtube, X, Substack, Hacker News, etc. but scale makes it hard to curate exclusively for such a specific audience with such a specific aesthetic.
Kevin Kelly is still writing through The Technium [0], which might scratch some of the itch but is more an island than a colony like Whole Earth was.
I mailed off for so much weird stuff from WEC ... stuff I'd never known about before ... from all over the hemisphere. Unusual teas and bakeries, kinnikinnick, oddish books, even some chair-caning materials (used on one VERY old chair). Sometimes forgotten about because of "Please allow 3 to 6 weeks for delivery."
Well, I had short hair during the 60s and 70s. I have had a ponytail since I hit double nickels (if you don't understand that phrase, get off my lawn). So yeah, hippy!
From the other comment by kijin - 1 liter of rice isn't actually that much (~500g, which approximates to 750 kcal). And given that most Koreans in the area didn't eat that much outside of rice (only vegetables and fruits) since access to meat was reserved for the super-wealthy, most Koreans were probably malnourished when also factoring in the manual labor they needed to do (rice farming is very labor-intensive)
I had a similar question. After a bit of perusing, it isn't immediately clear (especially since the install page just has a message saying it's not yet available to the public). But the following FAQ seems to suggest that it will run directly on the TV:
>Can I run Plasma Bigscreen on my TV or setup-box?
>In theory, yes. In practice, it depends.
>Hardware support is not dictated by Plasma Bigscreen, instead it depends on the devices supported by the distributions shipping it. See the install page for more details of distributions shipping Plasma Bigscreen.
I've also heard that depending on what country you're buying from the price changes, but using VPN I've never been able to replicate the results. Pricing based on individuals sounds illegal.
It's definitely the case that a round trip going from A to B to A can have a very different price than a round trip going from B to A to B using the same routes.
One of the most useful functions of a good manager is to act as a shield for their team from upper management firestorms. That's a role that I think AI is particularly unsuited for, given their tendency to be obsequious.
As a more general role, the idea of responsibility is that the manager has the job of making sure that individual employees' tasks are suited both to their individual competence and abilities and to the corporation's deliverables and ultimate bottom line. This requires making arguments in both directions: in pulling employees to working on things more useful to the company, and in changing the deliverables to capitalize on employees' abilities.
As I get it (and I’m not a smart or well-educated person, so please correct me if I’m wrong or misinformed or talking nonsense), responsibility is status that arises from the recognition of one’s moral obligations. Companies are at least partially formed around shared moral obligations, or put simply - goals. At least without those they become meaningless economic machines, and our culture tends to favor things “having” a meaning.
With multiple agents (of any nature) feedback is essential for the work to be done well - that’s my understanding of how it translates to the actual work getting done.
Why?
To tell advertisers that all clicks come from a specific region, to not worry about privacy laws in different countries in their cookie policy, are there others?
Microsoft has 780 pages of vulnerabilities, Linux has 203 and Apple had 258 pages when filtering by vendor.
I tried to just filter Windows or MacOS by product but that seems to be broken.
