Cyberpunk Review » Movies Ordered by Star Rating Well, there were already some discussions about Stalker on the site. Personally, I don’t believe that it’s Cyberpunk but more “Proto Cyberpunk Influence” like. (So, it was produced before Cyberpunk and lacks many elements.) It had influence on at least one Cyberpunk movie, Avalon. Judging from the Cyberpunk Review Criteria, there is definitely a negative impact of technology on humanity, but this is rather thin and the technology is more like nuclear technology/radioactivity and not directly Cybertech. The visuals definitely have got a certain Cyberpunk feel with some industrial scapes but this overlaps with Postapocalyptic fiction in this case, so, you can’t fully say that it’s Cyberpunk because of the visuals. There are some psycho/memory game elements in the plot which also are typical for Cyberpunk but this doesn’t necessary make it Cyberpunk. From what I’ve seen of the movie, it also looked a lot like La Jetee, which is considered Cyberpunk by Cyberpunkreview.
College Info Geek Developing iPad Applications for Visualization and Insight - Download Free Content from Carnegie Mellon University 2011 Solar Decathlon: Florida International University - Buildipedia.com™ perFORM[D]ance House Teams participating in the 2011 Solar Decathlon strive to create high-tech, low-energy houses, but one team has created a home that also "dances." Florida International University's perFORM[D]ance House features movable facades that allow it to adapt to the needs of its occupants and environmental conditions. This flexible concept fosters connections between indoors and outdoors while mitigating Florida's hot, humid, and hurricane-prone climate. Florida International University (FIU) originally participated in the Solar Decathlon in 2005 and won first place in the Energy Balance Competition for their Engawa House, named for a Japanese term describing the unity between the interior and exterior of a structure. Like Rudolph's iconic design, Team FIU's perFORM[D]ance House is an open pavilion with a layered facade system. The perFORM[D]ance House relies on roof-mounted photovoltaic arrays to meet its energy needs.
Study Hacks On Sam Harris and Stephen Fry’s Meditation Debate February 19th, 2019 · 44 comments A few weeks ago, on his podcast, Sam Harris interviewed the actor and comedian Stephen Fry. Early in the episode, the conversation took a long detour into the topic of mindfulness meditation. Harris, of course, is a longtime proponent of this practice. What sparked the diversion in the first place is when, early in the conversation, Fry expressed skepticism about meditation. Typically when we find ourselves in a chronic state of ill health it’s because we’ve moved away from something natural that our bodies have evolved to expect.Paleolithic man didn’t need gyms and diets because he naturally exercised and didn’t have access to an overabundance of bad food.Mindfulness mediation, by contrast, doesn’t seem to be replicating something natural that we’ve lost, but is instead itself a relatively contrived and complicated activity. Harris’s response was to compare meditation to reading. Read more » Myth Confirmed
