Osias Jotamuito bom!
Bom, voltando ao trecho citado anterior: "querer ser mais como nossos ancestrais significa desejar um conjunto diferente de ajustes". Nossos ancestrais não eram "perfeitamente" adaptados ao ambiente deles, da mesma forma que não somos "perfeitamente" adaptados ao nosso. Se hoje temos problemas com comida processada e com calçados que prejudicam a coluna, nossos ancestrais tinham verminoses provocadas por comida crua "orgânica" e parasitas que entravam no corpo pela sola dos pés.Osias JotaAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it’s funny to be able to tweet this, because it sounds so epic, but: neil gaiman is writing sandman.

Amanda just came in, looked at the computer screen, then sat down and took a photo of me working. It’s funny: the stage fright is fading, as I start to take joy in these characters once again…

Three Kinds of Metaphysical Nothing


Neil Gaiman on Alan Moore’s life.
Drawn by the amazing Mark Buckingham. I think we did this for a celebration of Alan’s 50th Birthday.
it is, of course, all true.

According to CNN Headline News, a sign had been posted three days before the incident depicted below saying that the parking space in question "would be turned into a handicap space." But it's not clear whether the sign said when this would happen, or if it was still there when Hila Ben Baruch parked her car. Apparently it didn't or wasn't, because the city has since apologized and admitted this was a case of "incompetence."
To be fair, the city workers seem to be very competent painters, at least, since they managed to turn this into a handicap space while her car was still parked in it.
City officials did not believe Ben Baruch until they saw the video, taken by a security camera across the street. They have since rescinded the fine and the towing charges.

Jeff Victor é ilustrador e vive em Los Angeles. Ele fez uma deliciosa linha do tempo com os personagens interpretados por atores como Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks, Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson e Uma Thurman, ao longo das suas carreiras. Uma ótima oportunidade pra galera que adora exibir sua memória cinematográfica.
Além de atores, a série inclui uma linha do tempo das diferentes versões de Batman ao longo dos anos, uma linha com as diferentes faces do vilao Biff Tannen, em De Volta para o Futuro personagem Biff Tannen.

Once in a while we'd come across some cool DIY projects inspired by Doctor Who, the world's longest-running sci-fi TV show, but nothing beats this little TARDIS that would actually make you gasp out the classic line: "It's bigger on the inside!" Greg Kumparak, a former writer of sister site TechCrunch, initially built nothing more than just a convincing model of the iconic blue police box (with a functioning light at the top) by hand, but soon afterwards he wanted to somehow give it an interior as well.
By utilizing the Blender 3D creation suite (which was a first for Kumparak), Unity 3D engine and Qualcomm's Vuforia AR SDK, the result is an Android app that renders the 3D interior atop the random wave-like pattern -- visible once the door's removed -- on the TARDIS in real time (no pun intended). Once you've seen the demo video after the break, you'd probably agree that Kumparak's only one sonic screwdriver away from becoming an honorary Time Lord. For more detail on how and why this project was put together, head over to Kumparak's blog post.

In an announcement, Dotcom called Mega "The Privacy Company."
Reader was my favorite social network, hands down. I was incredibly sad to see it go. When I found out theoldreader.com existed, I was giddy all day.
I wrote the team to thank them (hello at theoldreader dot com) and to also trouble shoot a bug. They were incredibly kind and prompt in response. After they fixed the glitch my massive address book was causing, I asked the following:
Next dreams:
What are privacy settings? Can only people I follow see my posts, only the friends of people I post comments to see those comments?
Multi-shares in same social network list people who shared rather than showing the post repeatedly.
But these are again, dreams, not issues.
Are we going to be able to pay the team a nominal amount to keep the project going? I would like to be able to support a group to do continued support rather than having this thing we all love die again.
Their response:
As per our privacy policy, all shared posts are currently public. We do have ‘private accounts’ feature in our roadmap that will allow users to expose their shared items only to a limited number of accounts they choose. However, this has very low priority for us; most users only read public RSS feeds that are available to everyone in the first place, so hiding them makes little sense. We have discussed the mechanics of multi-sharing before and decided to stick to the current implementation to avoid mixing comments to two different shares into a single thread. Sometimes people discuss not the shared article itself, but rather the sharer’s comment to it – so, each shared post becomes unique in a way and deserves a separate comment thread. At the moment The Old Reader is not backed up by any company, and we are still looking for the best way to allow our users to support the project. We will definitely update our blog when we decide on something, so make sure you are subscribed to it![]()
Here is what I have sent them. I hope you’ll join me in politely, lovingly, requesting the same. I would also like you to be willing to throw in to support the team if that is the route they go.
I’d like to lobby that privacy get moved up the list. A few reasons, personal, individual, and communal. First, I work in humanitarian and disaster response, with volunteer technical communities and military alike. I also have an incredibly dark sense of humor. The people I work with tend to check out who I am and what I like – having another public space on which to express myself doesn’t really allow me to express myself. Those same working conditions also make it incredibly important that I be able to have a safe space to talk and connect.
On an individual level, I saw friends discover themselves because Reader was a safe space. Things like gender, sexuality, and approach in life are not things which can be held without care. People with very public lives have been able to go through self-discovery with a small group of trusted friends.
And finally, communal – while with privacy my own shares are only to those who I have approved, my comments on a friend’s share are visible to their friends. *This is essential* – there is at least one pairing from our previous ShareBro network which happened because of this serendipity in safe space. They are now married.As it is now, it’s more like a Tumblr than it is like Reader. I hope you’ll institute the privacy and sharing layers sooner rather than later. Again, I’m happy to contribute what I can towards this being a sustainable effort.
All my best, and thanks again,
Willow
