Transhumanism Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is an international cultural and intellectual movement with an eventual goal of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.[1] Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations, as well as the ethics of developing and using such technologies. They speculate that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label "posthuman".[1] History[edit] According to Nick Bostrom,[1] transcendentalist impulses have been expressed at least as far back as in the quest for immortality in the Epic of Gilgamesh, as well as historical quests for the Fountain of Youth, Elixir of Life, and other efforts to stave off aging and death. First transhumanist proposals[edit]
How to Create a Personal Social Media Policy As more and more companies discover the benefits of an active and engaged social media presence, there is a growing focus on company-wide social media policies. This is a much-needed element of social media campaigns, particularly for companies with employees, a wide reach, and multiple people responsible for managing the company’s online presence. But what about the freelancer or one-person shop? While you may be solely responsible for your entire professional social media engagement, it still may be a good idea to create a policy so you have clarity on what you hope to accomplish, what you want to avoid, and how you will interact, react and communicate. Your policy should be in writing, even if it’s for your eyes only, and can be a great add-on to your social media marketing plan. Outline the Goals Why are you active in social media? Consider Your Audience (and non-audience) Set Boundaries Plan for Productivity Create an Online Reputation Management Plan Thumbnail credit: forwardcom
Numerical Sound Time Based Numerical Sound Composition audio CD, 60 minutes A digital time display counts up to one hour using four units: seconds, tens of seconds, minutes, and tens of minutes. A numerical sound composition was constructed using the ten sequential digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Each digit was assigned a tone. The tones were mathematically selected from the range of twenty to twenty thousand hertz: the two extremes audible to the human ear. The tones were logarithmically divided between the ten digits, providing tonal increments that produced a musical scale. Numerical Sound Story Timothy Evans Dan came to me with a basic thought about an audio piece. Dan’s eyes became focussed on the only movement in the room; the CD player’s digital time counter. Dan’s question was; why not write a musical score driven by and perfectly in time with the CD time counter? A period of one hour would fit onto a standard audio CD and use the full range of the time counter.
List of countries and dependencies by population From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of countries and dependencies by population. It includes sovereign states, inhabited dependent territories and, in some cases, constituent countries of sovereign states, with inclusion within the list being primarily based on the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. For instance, the United Kingdom is considered a single entity, while the constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are considered separately. Method Figures used in this chart are based on the most up-to-date estimates or projections by the national census authority, where available, and are usually rounded off. Where updated national data are not available, figures are based on the estimates or projections for 2024 by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Areas that form integral parts of sovereign states, such as the countries of the United Kingdom, are counted as part of the sovereign states concerned. See also
Cryonics Technicians prepare a patient for cryopreservation Cryonics (from Greek κρύος kryos- meaning icy cold) is the low-temperature preservation of humans who cannot be sustained by contemporary medicine, with the hope that healing and resuscitation may be possible in the future.[1][2] Cryopreservation of people or large animals is not reversible with current technology. The stated rationale for cryonics is that people who are considered dead by current legal or medical definitions may not necessarily be dead according to the more stringent information-theoretic definition of death.[3] It is proposed that cryopreserved people might someday be recovered by using highly advanced technology.[4] The future repair technologies assumed by cryonics are still hypothetical and not widely known or recognized. Premises[edit] Obstacles to success[edit] Preservation injury[edit] Long-term cryopreservation can be achieved by cooling to near 77.15 Kelvin, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. Revival[edit]
More Web Industry Leaders Quit Facebook, Call For Open Alternative A number of high-profile web industry leaders have quit Facebook this week, a turn of events that's sure to heat up conversation about the social network's perceived transgressions. Tonight leading video podcaster Leo Laporte announced that he's closed his Facebook account and made a financial donation in support of Diaspora, a project working to create an alternative social network outside of Facebook's control. Laporte said he was convinced to make the move by a post written by entrepreneur Jason Calacanis, in which Calacanis called Facebook a "monster" and called for users to throw their support behind OpenID and advocates of distributed social networking as open as the internet. Calacanis to date has not canceled his own Facebook account. Earlier this week, uber-blogger Peter Rojas, co-founder of Engadget and Gizmodo, announced on Twitter that he has deactivated his Facebook account.

TikTok Revenue and Usage Statistics (2021) - Business of Apps TikTok, known as Douyin in its home market, was launched in China in September 2016. It quickly started to gain traction in China and parent company ByteDance launched an international version the following year. Originally launched as a short-form video sharing platform, primarily for lipsyncing and dancing videos, TikTok has grown into a fully-fledged video service with content available for all types of viewers. ByteDance had prior experience on running wildly popular apps, as the operator of AI-powered news aggregation platform Toutiao. While many Chinese apps have failed to succeed outside of China, most notably Tencent’s WeChat, TikTok managed to push itself into the overseas market through the acquisition of Musical.ly in November 2017 for $1 billion. From there, TikTok snowballed into the most popular app in 2019 and 2020. Even with this stellar growth, TikTok has faced several controversies. TikTok has also faced the possibility of being banned in the US on several occasions.
Meme A meme (/ˈmiːm/ meem)[1] is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."[2] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek μίμημα Greek pronunciation: [míːmɛːma] mīmēma, "imitated thing", from μιμεῖσθαι mimeisthai, "to imitate", from μῖμος mimos "mime")[4] and it was coined by the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976)[1][5] as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Proponents theorize that memes may evolve by natural selection in a manner analogous to that of biological evolution. Dawkins' own position is somewhat ambiguous: he obviously welcomed N.

The Stream (by @baekdal) #notes My use of the stream have now reached a point where I am no longer looking for news. Instead, my world is pretty much divided into two types of information. Updates that are followable, and updates that isn’t. Every single day, my feed reader brings me roughly 5,000 articles (and no I don’t read them all). Without having to do anything I’m exposed to close to 10,000 things each day. This also means that I am no longer spending any time looking for news. But, sometimes a friend asks; “did you see the images I put up in my website,” “or did you see that new website of [insert brand here].” That piece of information wasn’t part of my stream. I know I’m not a “standard person,” most people still look for information. This is a very important change. Being a part of people’s streams is vital for publishers. I have long been at the point where there is no turning back. What do you think?
