This map accounts for the new hazards and new opportunities, and attempts to anticipate how populations might migrate and settle.

Latent space is amazing isn’t it

Did you try more heading levels for the article names?

I used both, LibreOffice calc for heavier data analysis than Google Sheets can handle. Google can also read LibreOffice's file formats easily.

Looks like teenage engineering pocket operators :)

if it could act like shutters and open and close it would be very useful to controlling the climate for humans

Good news, hopefully folks have decided they don't need to buy more shit

it could be pretty if you light it well

RTS FPS combo, where one person gives orders to the units who are then played by players. Maybe this already exists idk

We bought a fairphone 1 and it was total trash and now I feel burned by this type of product. Maybe once it matures...

interesting wrinkle in the story that going back is going to help younger workers via lowing the threshold for mentoring opportunities
