I just took a look at that and even though I don't know Portuguese I can figure out enough to see that people are talking about 196 drama over there too, haha

What's the best way to get a flat map from a physical globe? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'm not a cartographer, but the way I'd tackle this is to drill a small hole in the globe and spray paint in through it, so that the inner surface is opaque white. Then I would put together a cheap turntable-style 3D scanner using an off-the-shelf camera (there are open source designs available for this that you can buy as a kit or print using a 3D printer, then assemble following step-by-step instructions). Then, after scanning the globe and obtaining a textured 3D model of it, it should be relatively easy to convert the globe's texture from a spherical shape to a standard map projection using software. I don't know what software that would be offhand, but I'm sure it exists.

How about "a robot must have complete loyalty to its owner, even if this is not in the best interests of its manufacturer". Fat chance, I know.

If you became an owner of 1KG of gold. How rich does that make you compared to the rest of the world? in c/[email protected]

According to the page, that's using an imaginary unit called "international dollars" (which I just learned exists), which is used for comparing countries' economies. It doesn't reflect the real amount in US dollars. In US dollars the median US salary is just under $60,000. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf

The thing that I hate about discord as a replacement for forums is that it is completely closed off from the outside world. There's no searching it except from within discord. You have to join the server to even try, and discord's search sucks. It's an informational black hole that contributes nothing to the larger internet.
