Binary Large Octopus

As a professional in and , I'm used to feel almost physical pain whenever security-related topics or "hacking" is depicted in movies or TV series. Presentation usually ranges from half-correct terminology without relation to the current situation to outright ridiculous chaining of technical terms without ever trying to make any sense.

I've always wondered if this is similar in other areas. Professionals of other field, how do you see your profession being represented in entertainment media?

the New Fediverse Admin Starter Pack needs to include a copy of the Paradox of Tolerance.

If you tolerate intolerance, your space becomes intolerant.

The only way to ensure a tolerance space is to be extremely intolerant of intolerance.

I love atheists because they don’t try to takeover the government to force their lack of beliefs on others.

Math isn't for everyone. Let me explain this. If you have 100k vaccinated people and 10,000 unvaccinated people, and they die in equal numbers, it's clear that vaccinated people fair better even though the numbers are the same. 100/100k < 100/10k

this is new to me:
Objects move in spacetime at the speed of light. A stationary object isn’t moving through space at all, moving through time at the speed of light.
an object moving through space at the speed of light has no speed to move through time

for the unusual taste:

Robur, Master of the World (1961)

Vincent Price, Marlon Brando and a zeppelin - enough said!

The plot, losely basing on two novels by Jules Verne, revolves around a fanatic pacifist (), who tries to bring peace to the world by attacking military targets with his heavily armed zeppelin.
The premise of the movie is still relevant, as the notion of a self-declared savior of the world with questionable methods seems to mirror so many occurrences in this world on so many levels. Apart from that, this movie is wildly entertaining

recommendation:

Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life, by Peter Godfrey-Smith

amazon.com/Other-Minds-Octopus (sorry for the Amazon-link, was the best I could come up with)

This is a book about , however it's written by professor of history and philosophy of science. Peter Godfrey-Smith sees the as a unique kind of , that has developed independly from other forms of intelligence. In doing so, depicts the octopus convincingly as one of the most remarkable creatures on earth.
Did you know that an octopus
- can squeeze its body through holes only insignificantly smaller than its eyeball?
- has "thinking arms", which can act partly autonomous?
- can chameleon-like adapt its skin colors to the background for hiding, even though not being able to actually see colors?

After reading this book, you realize the octopus might very well be a genuine alien being dropped into our oceans. I can't help myself but finding these guys fascinating! This book opens up a perspective to how weird and wonderful nature can be and what unknown worlds still await us.

In #Dresden Sporbitz wird eine Unterkunft für etwa 50 geflüchtete Menschen in mobilen Raumeinheiten geplant, die voraussichtlich im Januar belegt werden soll.

Die aus Krieg und Verfolgung geflohenen, nach einer gefährlichen, langwierigen Flucht hier angekommenen Menschen, brauchen Sicherheit und Solidarität.

Widerstand dagegen, der von der etrem rechten Kleinstpartei Freie Sachsen angeführt wird und erschreckend an Heidenau 2015 erinnert, formiert sich und will sich bereits heute dort versammeln und rassistische Hetze verbreiten. Die rechte Vernetzung ist beunruhigend effektiv.

Deswegen: wenn hier Menschen aus dem Dresdner Osten sind, die sich dem entgegenstellen und/oder konkrete Hilfe organisieren können - kontaktiert mich gern hier oder unter andrea.muehle@stadtrat.dresden.de
