Currently reading 1491, and I saw this. Mind-blowing to me that archeologists thought that Ancient Americans were so primitive, and that it had to be such a battle to demonstrate that no these were complex peoples just like everywhere else.

One of my favorite facts is that 3/5 of the worlds produce was domesticated in Meso-America. Wild. These civs were pros at developing foods.

This happened to me so I just switched over to Adblock Plus. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adblock-plus-free-a...

AddBlock is still available. I was wondering if there is some issue with the extension itself that it got flagged? Maybe an update to the codebase would make the extension installe-able again?

not enough flips

Thanks for the response & the wikipedia links.

A roller coaster could actually be a good way to move things around. With lower gravity than earth, and initial thrust could take a payload a predetermined distance effectively.

imagine a roller coaster on the moon...

Go on a hike!

Bring a friend, talk, enjoy the views, bring headphones/speaker to listen to music/podcast/audiobook. The US is full of awesome trails and parks. The great thing about a hike is you can go for as long as you want or you can set a goal of reaching certain distances or destinations. Being outside is a great way to take a breath, get some fresh air & sunshine, and even meet other people on the trail (if they're willing to talk - I find people are super friendly on trails 90% of the time). After enough small hikes you'll probably want to take longer hikes, spend the night on the trail, and see grand views. This is motivation to plan a fun trip somewhere - most everyone wants to take a cool trip in nature!

Any outdoor activity really is great. Sports or even more leisurely activities such as kite flying, carving, gardening, all present great options.

If stuck indoors, invite people over and cook for them. Tell them you'll provide the food if they provide the company. Cooking is great because it involves creativity, planning, activity, and a tangible final result that can be eaten.

Reading is lovely - become okay with being by yourself, or start a book club where you either meet to discuss or read aloud to one another/listen to an audiobook. Do a puzzle, coloring pages, or something else with your hands while listening to an audiobook.

I had a similar thought, although I do think the article is somewhat useful - I haven't come across many other people supporting the view that efficient and practical startups are a better investment and create higher quality and more useful tech than unicorns.

I do strongly wish the article had more data. Note that the article is labeled as an 'Idea' on the website. See https://restofworld.org/series/ideas/ . I don't think that label should prevent data from being included, though.

this code change is in response to the fact that bing was not serving up results of the tank man image on the image's anniversary.

The Tienanmen square protests were protests for freedom, and censoring images does not seem very free.

Besides Notepad++ making a statement (which I think does matter), their code change will be relatively ineffective, as DuckDuckGo gets lots of results from bing anyways.

I see this really as more of a social statement and less as a technical solution.
