Really impressed with how Finland is "arming" the public with the tools to combat misinformation: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/28/fact-from-fict...

Hint: They start real early.

Also this (from article) : "Fake news, Kivinen said, is not a great term, especially for children. Far more useful are three distinct categories: misinformation, or “mistakes”; disinformation, or “lies” and “hoaxes”, which are false and spread deliberately to deceive; and malinformation, or “gossip”, which may perhaps be correct but is intended to harm."


Something I was developing on my spare time :) : https://github.com/aj0y/fitjoy

The main difference with other layouts is that I take finger length into account. (Eg. the pinky is usually much shorter than your ring finger, so putting them all on the same row means your ring finger need to curl up more and less relaxed). Also tried to reduce changes to the most common shortcuts we (programmers) use.

Feedback welcome!

I think we have to consider the possibility (most likely), that the advanced versions of these lifeforms are much further along the evolutionary tree than we are. They might have evolved like us, but continued evolving and now look nothing like us.


Great work!

Interesting counter-point. Thanks!


Tesla's solar tiles is a good start. Alternatively, a tile that can be switched between white in summer and black in winter would be ideal.


Never heard of foam roofing. Sounds like a great idea!


I watched them put it on. They put a frame around the roof, sprayed it on, then after a bit sprayed on a reflective coating. After a tiny bit they left. It was really fast. This was on a flat roof. It's probably slower on sloped roofs.


Cool. I think I have seen it on commercial flat rooftops. Haven't seen it on residential roofs.


Wonder if its more than just brand. Eg.https://www.chobachoba.com/direct-from-our-farms/. They ferment and dry the beans locally, but then it gets shipped to Switzerland to be made into chocolate.

Similarly Belgian chocolate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_chocolate) has also developed into a brand.
