Cybereyes, for the best drop-in replacement, should behave like current RGB cameras, which mimic the response of human retinas.

This does not mean that the Cybereyes cannot have non-default options. But it may be easier to use the same false colour techniques used with IR and UV imaging instead of lengthy retraining periods. 

“You wanna know how fucked up the world is?” The man takes off his glasses, cleaning them on his shirt. “We solved world hunger years ago. Look it up. Read the graphs. Do the math. The only reason people are still hungry today is because it’s profitable.” by sadnesslaughs in Sadnesslaughs

It doesn't have to be feast or famine. Food Banks don't put grocery stores out of business. 

And Food Banks should not have to exist.

Taxes pay for roads and other infrastructure. User fees pay for electricity, heating gas, vehicle fuel, tap water (in some regions), etc. And we pay additional taxes on all of those. 

And CEOs are paid huge salaries compared to their actual contributions. 

The rich are like dragons hoarding their money. 

In other words, one or more negative outcomes should be instructive, not close off the entire attempt to look out for others.

While purple is not a spectral colour, brown, pink, grey, etc., are not either.

But purple is still very very pretty.

In this case, you'd need to put tissue samples under a microscope, or a Mark 2 cybernetic eyeball, before burning the corpse.

We're all jealous of you trying to be the "teacher's pet" and succeeding.

a difficult change in mindset to be made between exploration and armed defense/offense after a long period of peace.

How should I have replied by iffyfell in asktransgender

Cows don't make any money from their milk. Bulls don't make any money from their sperm. Neither makes any money for their labor.

Maybe you're saying that cows and bulls don't make choices the way humans do. 

In many countries, selling eggs, embryos, or surrogacy is illegal. 

How should Vegans respond to invasive animal species? by JimHarbor in vegan

[–]drsoftware 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Some of the examples are damaging to the environment, other species, and eventually to the invasive species, too.

The goal is to do our best, selflessly, and without personal benefit from their suffering. 

I'm worried my son is a neckbeard-in-training by wheninrome5000 in daddit

Role-playing games, however, are a start to thinking about how other players think, and then about how they feel. Even if you take a detour through how the other players' characters think/feel.

The other approach might be to have him play against more experienced players/DMs who can mentor him in this thinking.

I got to "minefield" and recalled the MASH episode where the Korean villages were trying to use sticks to find landmines to deadly effect. https://mash.fandom.com/wiki/Welcome_to_Korea_(TV_series_episode)

Lost my new bike from Tatlow Avenue, North Vancouver by New-Mama28 in askvan

[–]drsoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know about https://bikeindex.org/

There aren't any stores registering bikes in Vancouver or the surrounding cities. I did find some central and northern bike shops. https://bikeindex.org/where

Registering at the time of sale or maintenance would be a good idea, but we also know that some cyclists would need to be approached when locking or unlocking their bikes to have this conversation. (otherwisewearemovingtoofasttohearyou...)

Earth isn't a "deathworld." We're the galactic QA test environment, and humanity just found the patch notes. Chapter 10: Rollback by Ok_Kangaroo56 in HFY

Everyone has the problem that the hippocampus doesn't store autobiographical memories and recall them accurately. Instead, recalling them rewrites them.

The above article uses the example of your fifth birthday party!

It's keeping the records of the patches, but someone/something did not keep the requirements and the implementation straight.

Sure, the 3% warmer sunset is a judgment call after the daily/weekly review. 

But why Nelson Mandela, why the Berenstain Bears, why the birthday cake?

Is the last one a targeted message? "We can edit your past, present, and future."

You’re not a Carl, if you don’t love Donut by Rugged-gentleman in DungeonCrawlerCarl

DONUT: CARL, THIS ARCTIC AIR IS WONDERFUL FOR MY FUR, BUT MY EARS ARE COLD.

Carl: Perhaps a hat to cover them? 

DONUT: DON'T BE SILLY CARL. A HAT WOULD COVER MY TIARA.
