@deepmud I have no issues with these as they are really easy to identify (the lookalikes are all edible grisettes). I stopped eating Amanita velosa, though, for some irrational/psychological reasons - probably because they were initially less obvious to distinguish from some extreme variants of other species.

Amanita pachycolea (Western grisette), Pacific coast of northern California. One of the low-risk edible amanitas.

@yourautisticlife I think [a, b[ is standard in French while [a, b) is standard in English.

@Valon_Blue 1/0=0\1 is prettier.

@gregeganSF I emailed them. There's too much at stake.

Principle of self-reinforcing ignorance: those who would benefit the most from new advice are those who are most likely to reject it.

Big mushroom day in the San Francisco Bay Area!

@BenHigbie you have to picture a kangaroo or a frog or something to remember his name.

@BenHigbie I watched a documentary about him just last week. This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE9GCRQtkiU

A natural mind is an emerging system that shares the following properties with a cyclone:
- has a lifetime
- has a center that's defined in space with good accuracy with respect to the center of any other cyclone i.e. they are easy to distinguish from one another
- their spatial boundaries are fuzzy
- their start date is fuzzy
- their end date is also fuzzy but perhaps less so than their start date

Much of this model goes out the window when considering artificial minds implemented and clonable with modern computers.

@BenHigbie oh, I should have checked the replies...

@BenHigbie it's a painting by Edward Hopper - South Carolina Morning! https://whitney.org/collection/works/789

@benjamingeer merci pour le partage

@benjamingeer j'ai du mal à croire que cette discrimination soit uniforme. J'aimerais voir s'il y a moyen de prédire quels employeurs en sont coupables plus que les autres.
Ça me rappelle mon job de postdoc aux Etats-Unis où le chef était polonais et un tiers des gens qui étaient embauchés étaient également polonais. Racisme ou non, protection légale ou non, je recommande de fuire ce genre d'environnement, c'est plein de copinages et de magouilles.

@lowqualityfacts it's common sense.

@dpiponi @GrantMeStrength I didn't find the details I was looking for about the camera failure but this article is still pretty enjoyable: https://www.npr.org/2019/07/13/735314929/the-camera-that-went-to-the-moon-and-changed-how-we-see-it
