Wasn’t it mostly ice?
I wouldn’t, the same way I wouldn’t lump the two Americas together.
Europe is a bit more hazy. What to do of Russia or Turkey?

Hm, the concept of Afroeurasia opens some interesting possibilities in extending the EU.
Eurasia is a single continent, the distinction between the two is cultural.
Annoying. Don’t let the industry autoregulate, it’s always lukewarm and ineffective.
Legislate. Ban underage gambling.
This is not a complicated issue, at all, the only barriers are lobbying and corruption.
Intellectual property is intellectual theft.
Very skeptical of that one.
They’ve been trying to target amyloid for more than a decade, and it’s the first time I hear of it actually working.
The treatment seem to have huge side effects (brain bleeding and swelling) and lead to patient death during the study.
Elly Lilly is also know for marketing zyprexa as a treatment for dementia (despite inefficacy and increased risk of death). Which is IMO criminal, at best unethical. I’m not inclined to trust them at all.
I hope I’m wrong and it works. Alzheimer is a terrible way to go.
Don’t screen shot then, post the text. Or a txt. I think that conversation should be interesting.
Yes, but as I remember it, it’s not exclusive to that lake.
I don’t know much honestly, I know of them because of some friends living in Peru.
You can look up Uru (or Uro) people.
Basically it was their take on the castle and moat.
The islands are made of some sort of cane, and have to be maintained regularly, it’s very labor intensive.
It’s one of the many cultures there that are at a crossroads, since they have to choose a way between their traditional lifestyle and the comfort of modernity. Knowing that tourism can bring them an order of magnitude more money that what they can make locally, at the risk of becoming actors, maybe.
Some Peruvian indigenous people actually live on man made floating islands (on lakes, not at sea).
High quality sarcasm.
Unethical does not even begin to cut it. It’s firmly in horrifying territory for me.
If a construction company taxidermied their dead workers into animatronics and used those unholy puppets to perform the same job, it wouldn’t shock me more.
Alternatively, the fall of Elon Musk was his way of getting Jack Ma’d, because money is not everything, and you can’t just buy yourself a tool of strategic value and expect no consequences.
They can fingerprint your browser and (very) probably your hardware, along with ip, location, and other leaked data, allowing them to reliably identify you whether you’re logged in or not.
At this point, it’s more of a symbolic protest.
They’ll stop anything out of the ordinary.
I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.
Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.
Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.
I think it’s valuable to make the distinction, whether it’s based on linux or not. Just like it’s valuable to make the distinction between unix and macOS.
Because despite all that sophistic nonsense, one of those allows an already too powerful corporation to extend its monopoly into the hardware realm, while reducing user agency.
