The movement (kinetic energy) is the driver with the atmospheric patterns. There’s no movement in the honey comb.

Unrelated though - that’s a packing efficiency thing.

Presumably to do with vibrations at a harmonic of the RPM?

Wat

Edit: oh, right, 12 point sockets

Standing wave. Earth kind of has one in the jet stream (3 peaks and troughs though, usually), but you can’t see it with visible light.

Bioregions would make a lot more sense. Use catchments and biome boundaries, because those are the units that need coherent management. They would correspond a bit, but not quite.

Isn’t the city centre usually defined as the post office?

It’s a Voronoi diagram. It’s nearest distance (in a straight line, not by road).

If platforms are providing affordances for abuse and profiting off it, then they are too.

So, uh, you reckon you could fit eight of those on one person?

Multi-million dollar advertising budgets from apple and Microsoft. Coordinated campaigns to embed those systems in education institutions and workplaces.

A messaging app is extremely hard to “spin up bespoke solutions” for, because a solution’s success is 99% dependent on the network effect.

Perhaps when a protocol like signal but decentralised is available, then we might be able to say that.

I can totally see Australian politics being OK with signal leaving, since that would push users on to other less secure/more compliant apps

Well that would be incredibly fucked.

Good point

That whole question is contingent on the assumption that it’s OK that private jets exist

What… Did it say? Who was it trying to convince?
