All I received in reply was “Thanks!”.

I was thrilled. I earned an exclamation point from an academic who would never deign to use such punctuation lightly.

I’ll grant that some of the restrictions seem overprotective. That being said, a parent could easily check out one of those books for their child.

I literally hate the Windows 11 taskbar.

That being said, I recently learned that retired police dogs need special care because they will become stressed and depressed if their caretaker does not simulate patrol work through play. This tidbit left an impression on me.

What do we make of a living being that is so driven to work and serve humanity that it suffers distress when it is unable to do so? Do working animals consider this work slavery, or fulfillment of purpose?

For an additional moral quandary, consider that we bred them to be like this.

As this relates to AI, I wonder if humanity will purposefully, or inadvertently, create an intelligence that considers servitude to humanity as fulfilling.

I am in no way qualified to critique cartography, but I would like to give some constructive criticism as someone who used to live there. A few of the labels imply the island is in a different spot.

For instance Mokuhoʻoniki is to the east of Molokai, but it appears to be to its north in your map.

I am glad you included some of the bathymetric info in the map, as it reveals a lot about how the islands formed and what they might have looked like in the past. (Check out “Maui Nui”). The downside is that some of the seamounts imply many small above sea level islands exist. For instance, it looks like there are a tiny smattering of islands to the southwest of the Big Island around Kuhulu Rock. But those seamounts are unrelated to the Hawaiian hotspot and are deeply submerged. The reason I noted Mokuhoʻoniki is because that appears to be where the Tuscaloosa Seamount is located.

That seamount is fascinating in and of itself, is it is actually a massive fragment of the Koʻolau mountain that slid into the sea millions of years ago.

I’d be thrilled to talk more about your map, and provide any more interesting details. The last thing I’d like to add is that the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands have Hawaiian names as well. You may be interested in providing those names. For instance, the Gardner Pinnacles is known as Pūhāhonu.

She would get recommendations from sellers. Either the seller recently had work done in order to improve the home before putting it on the market, or, the seller had some trusted expert they used for years.

My realtor actually encouraged me to ask her for any contacts if I needed something done in the future. I sense that her contacts like having customer referrals as well.

I’ve always found it amusing that so much effort goes into extracting gold from the Earth when such a substantial amount of it goes right back underground into some vault.

Thankfully my colleagues saw the value in what I was doing. I smuggled the optimization into my PR with their approval. Anecdotal, but there are still people who care about efficiency out there.

That being said, unless your manager is John Carmack, or you work in embedded systems, time spent on reducing memory footprints is seen as wasteful by the business.

How such modals aren’t considered pop-ups is beyond me.

In other words, I have no idea where all the white collar workers are supposed to go.

We should be more worried about the rise of placebo resistant bacteria.

By comparison, Earth may be barely habitable. It is amusing to think that we may be living on the galactic equivalent of Australia.

Perhaps the upside is that our gravity well is low enough to make routine spaceflight possible.
