I can appreciate this aspect of things. The issue is the time to put it all together...

What are the problems here in such a democratic process online or even in a modern context?

People who aren't actually stakeholders feel that they're stakeholders and want to control other's actions even when they don't have a stake. (eg: abortion)

People don't have time to become properly informed about the ever-increasing group of topics and there is too much disinformation and creation of fear, uncertainty and doubt.

Thoughtful deliberation does not happen.

The quality of legislation has dropped instead of increased.

Bikeshedding is too easy.

What if instead of electing people who run, we elected people from the electorate at random? This would potentially at least nudge us to have some representation by "one of the least of these". This would provide us to pay more attention to a broader swath of society instead of the richest and most powerful. What might the long term effects of this be?

In 1998, Ben Shneiderman wrote "The danger of working at "internet time" is that hasty decisions may be poor, and rapid changes may cause troubling turbulence for many users."

Best Instrumental Hindi Songs of All time

The loud piece of sufiscore Best Instrumental Hindi Songs of All time is given out "sahityam" and sahityam is actually like singing the swaras certainly at any rate using the spaces of the tune. The songs of Samaveda contain melodic substance, plan, beat and metric association. This game plan is, regardless, not extraordinary or limited to Samaveda. Best Instrumental Hindi Songs of All time has two focal parts, raga and tala. The raga, considering a varied assortment of swara, structures the outside of a profoundly many-sided melodic course of action, while the tala evaluates the time cycle. The raga gives a specialist a reach to cultivate the tune from sounds, while the tala outfits them with an innovative construction for cadenced unconstrained creation using time. In Best Instrumental Hindi Songs of All time music, the space between the notes is habitually more fundamental than the authentic notes, and it generally avoids Western customary examinations like concordance, inconsistency, harmonies, or change. The foundation of Best Instrumental Hindi Songs of All time in old India are found in the Vedic association of Hinduism. The earliest Indian thought joined three clarifications, syllabic show, melos and dance. As these fields were made, sangeeta changed into a verifiable kind of workmanship, in an advancement muddled from contemporary music. Sufiscore Best Instrumental Hindi Songs of All time is the old style music of the Indian subcontinent. It has two gigantic practices: the North Indian conventional music custom is called Hindustani, while the South Indian verbalization is called Carnatic. These practices were not irrefutable until about the fifteenth century. Best Instrumental Hindi Songs of All time underlines unrehearsed creation and evaluation of all pieces of a raga, while Carnatic grandstands will overall be short connection based. Regardless, the two plans continue to have more common features than contrasts. The central establishments of the Best Instrumental Hindi Songs of All time of India are found in the Vedic game plan of Hinduism and the obsolete Natyashastra, the magnificent Sanskrit text on execution verbalizations by Bharata Muni. The thirteenth period Sanskritic language text Sangita-Ratnakara of Sarangadeva is seen as the convincing substance by both the Hindustani music and the Carnatic music customs.

Fascinating challenge... how do we design education to maximize "viral" reach?

Excellent question. How do we communicate "this is worthy of more time" as well as "this really shouldn't take that long"?

The problem with capitalism is that in times of fecundity things can seem to magically work so incredibly well because so much of the system is hidden, yet when problems arise so much becomes much more obvious.

Unseen during fecundity is the amount of waste and damage done to our environments and places we live. Unseen are the interconnections and the reliances we make on our environment and each other.

There is certainly a longer essay hiding in this idea.

4. Robustifying a link when linking to a specific version

If the main intent is to link to a specific state of an original resource, for example a snapshot of the original resource in a web archive or one of its version in a version control system, then Robust Link information is conveyed as follows:

• href for the URI that provides the specific state i.e., the snapshot or resource version;
• data-originalurl for the URI of the original resource;
• data-versiondate for the datetime of the snapshot or resource version.

[...]

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Web_archiving&oldid=485347845"
   data-originalurl="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_archiving"
   data-versiondate="2012-03-20">Robust Link to this specific version of the Wikipedia page</a>

3. Robustifying a link when linking to the original resource

If the main intent is to link to an original resource but also allow future users of that link to see the state of the original resource around the time the link was put in place, then Robust Link information is conveyed as follows:

• href for the URI of the original resource for which the snapshot was taken;
• data-versionurl for the URI of the snapshot;
• data-versiondate for the datetime of linking, of taking the snapshot.

[...]

<a href="http://www.w3.org/"
   data-versionurl="https://archive.today/r7cov"
   data-versiondate="2015-01-21">Robust Link to the W3C home page</a>

The approach proposed here is to convey this information on a link by leveraging HTML5's attribute extensibility mechanism. It introduces the following data- attributes for the anchor (<a>) element:

• data-originalurl for the URI of the original resource;
• data-versionurl for the URI of the snapshot;
• data-versiondate for the datetime of linking, of taking the snapshot.

Abstract: [...] [The HTTP Memento protocol] lacks support for the management of data updated at high frequencies or the interactions during resource modification and only provides inefficient means for managing resources with many revisions. To address these shortcomings, we propose three extensions to the HTTP Memento protocol: arbitrary resolution timestamps, resource creation support and range requests for TimeMaps. We provide a reference implementation of our proposals as open source software and quantitatively evaluate the extensions’ performance, showcasing superior results in terms of resource capacity, insertion correctness, latency and amount of transferred data.

Abstract

This specification defines a file format for annotating and indexing time-continuous bitstreams for the World Wide Web. The format has been named "Annodex" for annotating and indexing. The Annodex format enables the specification of named anchor points in time-continuous bitstreams together with textual annotations and hyperlinks in URI [4] format. These anchor points are merged time-synchronously with the time-continuous bitstreams when authoring a file in Annodex format. The ultimate aim of the Annodex format is to enable an integration of time-continous bitstreams into the browsing and searching functionality of the World Wide Web.

Intellectual and character growth holistically, in a positive manner. That is the objective worthiness of any task. These goals, must be outlined in any activity undertaken, and their worth must be scaled according to our own standards. Because time is limited, it serves us well to maximise the objective worthiness that we extract from any task/activity/job/career. Thus time frames must also be defined. A multifaceted growth mindset requires a constant reexamination of all these aspect- i.e.- objective worthiness and time frame. An unexamined life is not worth living, and this shall be applied ona daily basis. One must recognise where they lose time, fill those holes, and proceed to extract some meaning from it.

This loop showcases a UI pattern that I think could be improved. There is an "edit" button visible, which opens the sidebar. The principles should more closely resemble the Hypothesis sidebar. Instead of requiring an explicit edit button which the user clicks, the editor should operate on object selections. Merely clicking any of the displayed values should select it, which should provide a handle to the underlying object, which should reveal the editor sidebar (with, ideally, the relevant field focused).

timestamp_s = date_time.map(pd.Timestamp.timestamp)

and then create "Time of day" and "Time of year" signals:

day = 24*60*60
year = (365.2425)*day

df['Day sin'] = np.sin(timestamp_s * (2 * np.pi / day))
df['Day cos'] = np.cos(timestamp_s * (2 * np.pi / day))
df['Year sin'] = np.sin(timestamp_s * (2 * np.pi / year))
df['Year cos'] = np.cos(timestamp_s * (2 * np.pi / year))

This would be nice to turn into a science lesson or to represent this in an experiential, participatory Deep Humanity BEing Journey. To do this, it would be important to elucidate the series of steps leading from one stated result to the next, showing how scientific methodology works to link the series of interconnected ideas together. Especially important is the science that glues everything together over deep time.

Time: The New Currency

Women tend to be excluded from the national economy because their work is not paid and therefore not value or factored into the Gross Domestic Product of a nation. Money, then, is a mechanism for disempowerment.

If the Bauhaus existed today, what would it look like?

What would the Bauhaus do differently, learning from the mistakes of the past and how modernism was co-opted by neoliberal capitalism.

Isn't this an example of the law of the excluded middle? If LoEM doesn't exist (in Gisin's theory), then could there be information that isn't either created or destroyed?

Summary:

"What has time done to us?"

129 E. Evans-Pritchard, op. cit., p. 103.

In the next paragraphs, it turns out that there isn't laziness, but misaligned incentives. The lifeways of the people involved were not those of the writer who jumped to conclusions about the people who were different from him.

In generalizations supported by another study of Mexican labour conditions, Wilbert Moore remarks: "Work is almost always task-orientated in non-industrial societies ... and ... it may be appropriate to tie wages to tasks and not directly to time in newly developing areas".

When comparing and contrasting cultures, empathy for each and their particular incentives must be taken into account.

This is particularly important as he's spent a dozen pages talking about how poorly the English dealt with industrialization over centuries themselves. How quickly we forget.

The number of quotes and passages here makes me wonder what his sources were and how he came to them?

Did he keep a commonplace book and collect references on time? Find them via other's or from published collections? The number and types of them, particularly in the non-technical literature he's citing makes me think that something like a commonplace pattern is being leveraged here.

This immediately brings to mind Max Webber, but before thinking about that,

What about the overall discussion of the relation of time to Christianity in general. Early Christians practiced eschatology and were concerned with the imminent end of the world. How has that affected our relationship with time?

Even the rise of health care has dramatically extended our lives, thus making time a bit less valuable overall, but have we seen that effect psychologically?

Of course now the pendulum, for at least some, has swung the other direction and we now talk about over-scheduling our children.

The irregularity of the work day of the common people in the 17th and 18th centuries ran counter to the desires of both moralists and mercantilists.

What might this tension tell us about both power structures both then and today?

While specialization since that time has increased the value of goods we produce, does it help in the value of our lives and happiness?

We attend to time in large measure as a need to be able to synchronize our work.

Early example of a watching being a store of value and credit.

Recall that we measure what we find important. This fashion of timekeeping was a tool for wielding power over others to acquire wealth.

He mentions earlier that decorated timepieces were more valuable/common than accurate ones. This begins to put timepieces into the area of fashion rather than function. Perhaps there wasn't yet need for more accuracy, but the fact that watches were being made of gold and silver shows a market need for the fashion over function. Was there a market for simpler steel or cheaper metal watches at this time?

State of the art of timepieces in 1730.

Could be interesting to see a graph of accuracy of timekeeping over time.

this time.

Can we, like Shepherds, tell a merry Tale? Stephen Duck, The Thresher's Tale (poem)

There's a link here to shepherds and a bardic tradition. In some sense, shepherds have lots of time to kill during the day and thus potentially tell stories. But they're also moving around their environment which also makes it easier for them to have used songline-like methods for attaching their memories to their environment.

How far back might this tradition go in our literate culture?

I also wonder at the influence of time on oral traditions as the result of this. Lynne Kelly describes calendrical devices in a variety of indigenous settings in Knowledge and Power in Prehistoric Societies for potential use in annual spaced repetition. What about the spaced repetition within daily cycles of regular work as described in this paper with respect to shepherds, fishing communities, and crofting?

The daily cycle of life may have been a part of the spaced repetition for memory.

How might we show this?

A quick example that comes to mind is the French children's song Alouette, Gentille Alouette which details how one kills, cleans, and dresses a chicken for cooking.

Time is now currency: it is not passed but spent.

Some of this essay shows the change in conceptualization of time and its use. Identifying it as currency certainly happened over time.

What else might we equate with time besides money? Happiness instead? Measure it in leisure instead of solely by capitalism?

Among the Nandi an occupational definition of time evolved covering not only each hour but half hours of the day.

This reminds me of hearing attorneys journaling their day down to 7 1/2 minute increments for billing their clients.

But based on science and with computers, we're now able to discriminate things down to the time it takes atoms to vibrate and we can date and timestamp things in our worklives to the nth degree. Even this post will have a timestamp on it down to the thousandth of a second.

Curious that he quotes the writer Synge here or even that this is something Synge would have written.

I like the idea that a culture would have been able to keep time based on the direction of the wind.

An interesting definition of daybreak. Our current definitions of daybreak are not too dissimilar.

It also provoked The Clockmaker's Outcry against the author:

[...] Nay, the common expression of street-walkers is, "Sir, will you have your clock wound up?"

I've actually heard the euphemism clock in a sexual setting in my youth, but never heard the origin. This is the likely source. It's been 20 years or more since I've heard this in common speech though.

The conventional Elizabethan images of time as a devourer, a defacer, a bloody tyrant, a scytheman, are old enough, but there is a new immediacy and insistence.

I do not wish to argue how far the change was due to the spread of clocks from the fourteenth century onwards, how far this was itself a symptom of a new Puritan discipline and bourgeois exactitude.
