[transiency] It seems humans choose to monitor say dogs with brainwaves for the sake of promised understanding. Is there a different way?

How about humans stop "asking for evidence" and admit by default that all species have needs to exist.

I've seen a camera, i.e., GetNarrative, but it definitely does not support typing or sketching notes (though can record video and audio). So, how would such a jewelry support those features like sketching and taking notes?

For this to be feasible there needs to be some way of automatically measuring the energy impact of a website.

So you'd have to instrument a browser to see how much resources the website uses.

You could measure network bandwidth transmitted and CPU usage by the website.

ago @ Laymen How-To on Low-Energy Websites

Aww, was this like "Low Energy + Website" + GUIDE? So +GUIDE (in a google doc) = idea? We could put +GUIDE for whatever problem, and will immediately become an idea? It's more a request for solution than a solution, thus, I'd suggest having this as a category. An idea should present some actual method, not a combination of two concepts (in this case "Low Energy Website" + "Guide").

How this is better than all other methods? Why not a video? Having it in google docs, would also be limiting, as for example, they are not accessible in some countries, so not a very universal way either.

Suggest moving it to Category...

"The elementary risk analysis alone suggests that people who meetN times more people than a typical person (e.g., service staff, store salespeople, hospital staff, etc.) should be approximately so many times better protected (to maintain R0 factor low) - masks, overalls, hygiene, etc. Pragmatics - we calculate how much people serve / meet people, and prioritize measures according to the risk of infection, and we go hunting superspreaders ."

// A company can have facets of other companies running through it.

It can, in many ways. For example, one company (e.g., company=government), can provide a platform for companies to function. Other companies are simply functioning as subsidiaries, and others still -- provide part of the ecosystem that governments do not provide, for example, co-working spaces, web assets, like block-chain infrastructures, and so on.

All that being true, we're searching, I think, for a good mix, that would enable our community to function perfectly fine, even on an isolated island, or on Mars, providing the basic economic services, like a normal country or a union would.

The way I see the generation of stocks right now though, is the same as products, -- i.e., a project can issue its stocks as products, for investors to buy.

ago @ Koronaviruso plitimo mažinimas Lietuvoje

The part of the public that is in active communication, frequent commuting, carries the greatest risk of spreading the virus - which is why we can win the most. If a person meets 10x more people than a standard person, he or she should take 10x more serious measures to prevent the spread. For example, it would be unreasonable for leaders who often have to meet different people to wear masks, or to be shy about wearing masks. (already put on the list - about "super-spreader").

Also, one should look at successes, such as the one in Chongqin (30 million cities), [576] (https://coronavirus.app/FErOU1m4Tj7jIkRam3vF?query=China), but at present zero: 0. How did Chongqin succeed in becoming Virus-Free?

Because the virus [soap sensitive] (https://youtu.be/fRqJaZO5yW8), there were [such installations] in Chongqin (https://youtu.be/tfQezW8lH4g).

Visuomenės dalis, kuri yra aktyviai bendraujanti, dažnai važinėjanti, kelia didžiausią riziką virusui sklisti -- vadinasi, per ją galime laimėti daugiausiai. Jei žmogus susitinka 10x daugiau žmonių nei standartinis žmogus, tai jis turėtų imtis 10x rimtesnių priemonių skleidimo prevencijai. Pvz., tai, kad lyderiai, kuriems tenka dažnai susitikti įvairių žmonių, būtų be kaukių, ar drovėtųsi susitikimuose užsidėti kaukių, yra neracionalu. (jau įdėjau į sąrašą -- apie "super-spreader'ius").

Taip pat, reikėtų dar pažiūrėti į sėkmės atvejus, pvz., Čongčine (30 mln. mieste), turėta 576 atvejai, tačiau šiuo metu sergančiųjų nulis: 0. Kaip Čongčinui pavyko tapti "Virus-Free"?

Kadangi, virusas jautrus muilui, tai Čongčine buvo tokių instaliacijų.

“At the time of writing, 10 patients are accompanied in breathing by a machine that uses a 3D printed valve.”

ago @ Multiple Bank Accounts on One Phone

Since this is something tied to app development itself, it is something that we'd ideally support at the app development frameworks level. And, probably it's better to support it not at the app level, but at the browser profile level, or phone user level, and allow very easy switching between users, or even -- allowing to be logged in with multiple users to the same phone at the same time, to get all pertinent information. Cause, now every app developer is reinventing the solution to this on their own at the app level --- Google has one way, Telegram has another way, etc. Mobile banks being often less tech-savy, don't implement it at all.

ago @ Empowering Humans to Think and Decide

Well, at this point, the best that is out there, is certain note-taking systems. Some come close to the ideal than others. For example, zim-wiki.org is pretty good for desktop, and for people without coding skills. Something like, e.g., Dynalist mobile is off-line first, meaning you can make notes while offline, in some jungle or a subway. However, in neither of these systems you can actually reply to your e-mails, or do other advanced actions, like those that you can do with Telegram bots. Now, imagine that your knowledge system (something like Dynalist) had something like Telegram bots for certain lists (e.g., list of E-mails from your malibox), that let you call actions on them. That is what we'd want in the personal and private knowledge, -- ability to take actions on remote systems directly from it. That would ideally be implemented by a bunch of open source drivers, and I envision that could be one of the applications for the metadrive, which is still not production-ready. However, I think it would be great to have all systems that we need to think and decide at the user's fingertips, in a simple way.

If anyone's curious. What I'm trying to do right now, is to make at least one full order, where the shopping experience would feel good. So, thinking of modal windows both for product previews on the eXchange, and also, by clicking on the produce items in the project view.

Modals, cause that works. One thing that worries about them though, that they require JavaScript. So probably we can sacrifice that, by loading it in the "Exchange," cause that's supposed to be a modern experience, and avoids jumping forward and back (to product and back to search results).

So far, only technical matters in the making even a single croissant for sale on Homebase.

// "0" means questions or research notes.

It somehow relates to idea of Tagfixes, and overall our search for pragmatic way to organize information. For example, the first three sybols: ["0", "~", ">"] coincide with what we have with H-Base as ['Categories', 'Ideas', 'Projects'], and ['!'] also falls under ['Categories'] according to H-Base ontology: Having goals (=categories) leads to ideas, which in turn leads to plans (=projects), at least in theory., but more personal. :)

Well, contratulations with creating a project, and looking forward to you sharing work results folks here on H-Base :) I think having a consultation with designers may be worth a shot~ Actually, AFAIK Neruthes's got a passion for it, always making and tinkering with design improvements to existing sites using scripts at Scrlo (demo).

// How about making a Telegram bot that posts an Idea, ..., or even a Comment without me going to my browser? It would save me time on mobile for sure..

I think it would make most sense to have a Telegram bot for each Category, Idea, Project, and so that comments posted in them would automatically be synchronized with autogenerated Telegram channel for the topic.

However, that would mean creating a new Idea would have to be like creating a new Telegram channel. This could be done by Telegram API. However, that kind of bot would have to automatically create new users on Homebase, using usernames of Telegram users, and do something sane when there are multiple users with same usernames, basically generate accounts on Homebase. The recipie to automate creation of group is:

from telethon import TelegramClient, events, sync
from telethon import functions
api_id = XXXXXX # Get on https://my.telegram.org
api_hash = 'YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY' # Get on https://my.telegram.org
client = TelegramClient('session_name', api_id, api_hash)
phone = '+ZZZZZZZZZZZZ' # (verify with other live connection)
client.start()
# Doing stuff:
created_group = client(functions.messages.CreateChatRequest(
        users=['inyuki', 'mindey'],
        title='Intent 5: Creating Deep Connections and Love in Society'
))
chat_id = created_group.__dict__["chats"][0].__dict__["id"]
invite = client(functions.messages.ExportChatInviteRequest(chat_id))
print(invite.link)
# client.log_out()

And, I think this would not make sense by default, only perhaps to be customly enabled for certain ideas, when the conversation size reaches some point.

// I wanted to talk to you about covid-19. do you think the right measures are taken? [Alina]

Regarding Regarding COVID-19, I think, there may be insufficient or inadequate measures regarding superspreaders — people who love to meet people, travel a lot — mostly business people, who don't even wear masks in meetings, just because it's more convenient not to.

Those who meet 10x more people than normal people (say, because they are frequent flyers, conference attenders and so on), have also this tendency to desire more freedom in form of convenience, and direct facial rapport (cause maybe reading faces and hanging out is part of their business, and wearing a mask would be stigmatizing, having a good health insurance and coverage, they may think they can afford to risk getting infected).

Whatever the reason, those who have to meet 10x more people, need to have 10x greater protection measures, to prevent superspreaders from activating. What 10x measures would be? If 1x is just putting on the mask in conferences, then 10x probably suspending non-essential travels, and moving meetings to on-line and telepresence.

Related - Coronavirus prevention via social distancing is very effective.
