I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.
On the artistic side, to dub all content under the Creative Commons license. Thereby, ideally, only using tools and resources that are #FLOSS #OpenSource. #nobot

Here's a scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) and life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries. The lines represent averages.
One country sits alone in the bottom right quadrant due to its much higher health spending and below-average life expectancy.

One of the big mistakes people make, over and over again, is relying on technological determinism.
That is, thinking the architecture of the technology will preserve the topology of the network.
Mastodon is Open Source. It's built with open standards.
This is necessary but not sufficient to keep the network decentralized.
We're going to need social and legal structures, plus cultural norms, that counterbalance Metcalfe's law, which pushes the network towards centralization.

I will need to reevaluate the schedule for my classes and also choose some other courses. It's already the second in the past week that classes just got cancelled or moved around last minute.
Summary:
Lecture: 6
Class: 1

It is quite convenient that the public transit has WiFi, so that one can comfortably watch the lectures.

@junosz @EubieDrew @youfoundryan I didn’t have “viral toot flood contingency planning” anywhere on my bingo sheet for 2022

With the ever growing number of users and in the spirit of open source (FLOSS), one should contribute where one can. Thus I am allowing myself to be a moderator candidate after learning what the tasks are from @freemo.
For those who aren't familiar with me, I have been on this instance before the whole twitter migrations (this current one and the one back in April 2022) to be more precise since March 2021.
Currently I have been trying to help new comers familiarize themselves specifically with Mastodon (both mobile and desktop) and further the fediverse.

I used to not like facial hair, but it's growing on me.

Just went through the second week's lecture in WTI, which dealt with random variables and its relationship to measure theory.
Now I understand the syntax behind /(/mathcal{P}(X/leq x)/).

Lecture: 3
After watching a documentary on #bigoil I was wondering "what the problem is with bio fuels?" It seems like the biggest issue is that one is stealing landmass for agriculture. Although it hypothetical sounds like a good option, it really isn't.
Now there is another promising concept aka "green crude oil", which is the idea to use #algae over landmass crops. The benefit there over is that its more energy efficient, less area/volume is needed, and it's independent of the water source (waste water, salt water, fresh water).
The only issue like with any new technology is that there is currently no profit to be made.
Here are some videos to peak interest:

- https://y.com.sb/watch?v=X-HE4Hfa-OY (TED talk)

Why is it called “going out for another bike ride” and not “recycling”?

How we spread #Disinformation — When a piece of information confirms our beliefs, we don't really look to know whether it's truthful or not and are then more likely to share it, thus spreading potentially fake news.

Good evening, Twitter was a 16 year sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.
