How to make this into an interactive 3D globe map with story rankings localized


It’s only 5D if you are allowed +5 to -5 moves each move.

Your result in 3D would always be an approximate


He was really good at obtaining compromising information of the most wealthy individuals around the world.


You have to rationalize; if their endowment is that large, they aren’t prioritizing enabling more students to attend with reduced or no tuition.


Instead of rationalising, try researching. Ivy League universities, for example, almost uniformly use "need-blind admission". Meaning they admit you first, and the decision comes with a promise to find a way to make it affordable for you to attend given your circumstances.

As a datapoint, "Fifty-five percent of Harvard College students receive need-based scholarship aid, and the average grant this year is more than $53,000." (https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=harvard...)


I need this.

Bought a namecheap registry for a small nfp.

Been swamped with how-to’s and learning things just to learn what to search for...

I could use something else that does it all...

But I want a level of authority none of those offer.. without the technical insight of “is this everything/enough”.

Shamans do not give you drugs and send you home. That’s a drug dealer.

Shamans are more like tour guides. Walking you through your own experience.


This might be important, like a form of therapy based on counselling, thinking or talk seems beneficial for success of drug based psychotherapy. Whether it is better, we should learn properly and not assume. If it's not, we're wasting time. (Or perhaps it works better for true believers, that's an important thing to know as well.)

It is good to remember though that these approaches exist, and to let them be practiced safely and openly. As well as researched without interrupting it.

A tour guide does specific things. We could know what makes for a good or bad one.

Is a person who fakes the practice as good as a native life long taught shaman? Which kind of shaman is best? Is tailoring the experience needed and in what way? Etc.


Wouldn't the data we have on mental health show that contemporary wisdom on its treatment is failing? Given spikes in rates of anxiety and depression over the past century, among other adverse effects, this isn't an unreasonable conclusion to make.

That said, maybe it's more important to look at how these have been dealt with in the past than the data we have in the present.


Not one to the exclusion of other.

The spike can just as well be caused by bad environment we made for ourselves, ecologically and psychologically.

The problem is, we really do not know what we're doing when dealing with mental issues. Typical western approach is only slightly better than dosing people with random psychedelic substances of mostly unknown effects. The science done in field of psychotherapy is low to non-existent quality. Methodologies are in their infancy.

Of course something barely effective will fail.

While I don't doubt there is some human component to this, what I worry about are interactions with standard prescriptions and OTC medicines.


Of course. Ergoloids have a long list of side effects, which is why they're considered outdated or third line treatments for many illnesses. But not others, say for severe migraines, they're still best or first line available agents.

Those risks are always weighted against benefits.


Ironically DDG was down today about an hour ago


I think it's more coincidental than ironic.


Ironically, Bing (powering DDG) is not mentioned in the article at all.


Yes it was?

“Today, DuckDuckGo combines data from more than 400 sources into its search results: Microsoft’s Bing is predominantly used to surface relevant pages, but Wikipedia, Apple Maps, TripAdvisor and DuckDuckGo’s own web crawler also contribute.”


Ironically, Bing Rewards is one of very few tools moving towards Lanier's glorious vision of paying people for their data.


I was wondering why my search queries were returning no results.


I walk my two cats every morning, neither use a leash. Trained them to run to the front door if they get scared. I use sounds like snapping or clapping for re-direction or warnings.

They’re even trained to return to the front door when I say “Haus”.

Then a treat when they are good, which is everyday!

Cat’s do very well with a solid routine.


Do you walk them in public spaces or is this in your garden?
