Understanding ocean color from satellite images can be challenging.

The @nasaocean PACE mission, launching in 2024, will see Earth’s ocean colors in new detail.

#plastic fibre once the #seaweed has decomposed. Hopefully we will stop this from occurring in our #environment.

I worked in an office near JPL in Pasadena back in 2012 and caught this photo of Endeavour's last ride before becoming an exhibit in the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

Gotta give posthumous flowers to Jerry Lawson, the man who created the first video game console w/interchangeable cartridges.

It was a watershed moment for gaming. As this USA Today article notes, it was "the foundation for today's global video game market."

In his honor, there's a Lawson exhibit on permanent display at The World Video Game Hall of Fame at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY

Like my boat expedition down the Danube, turn the boat around, and you have a VERY hard time getting upriver.

I love everything about this property listing. Bizarre dilapidated terraced house remnant in the middle of a park. Incredible location. Half the photos are just gratuitous drone shots which barely include the house.

To navigate the overwhelming barrage of information in today's world, we can compost the last 40 years of social sh*t to understand political motivations. The right-wing is motivated by fear and control, while the left-wing prioritizes trust and openness. In the tech world, the #4opens promotes transparency, collaboration, and decentralized decision-making. However, #4opens and left-wing politics only work if people embrace a #DIY approach hamishcampbell.com/2023/02/18/…

Here's a twist on that, I'm pretty sure there are more people living today who are free from poverty and the threat of violence and war, more alive today than all the ones who lived and died in all of human history. Or it's very close.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

I’d like to see these figures set against the size of the region, size of agricultural land available, availability of potable water and life expectancy.

If you bring designs to a stakeholder meeting, they will assume you need help and try to make design decisions for you.

Snap them out of their semantic context to have more productive conversations, and avoid getting stuck pixeling up their ideas.

I’ve been super lucky to not yet experience being given a solution by a stakeholder and asked to just “design it”… however I’m currently running into hurdles with stakeholders being hyper focused on a specific solution they saw our competitors do even though that’s likely not the most impactful thing we could work on right now.

This gave me a lot of food for thought on digging into “why” they want this thing.

Not nearly at the top but getting there. Every time I say I’m going to turn around I stop for a minute and find another stopping point above me and keep going.

This is truly doubling-down on stupid. You’re forcing most of your users off this method you call insecure, except for the ones that pay you $8 a month. Those users can continue to be unsafe, you say.

Ice extent jumped to 21 percent in early February in response to a cold snap. But since then, it has declined. Maximum ice cover is usually between mid-February and early March.
