Is this a possible solution? Gravitational lense telescope?

Yep - I am curious as to where the mental health subject matter expertise and validation of outcomes fits into your budget (unless it is more a directory or something more “benign” not requiring that).


I have trials planned and I hope I can push the product to these plans. Research part is the most interesting for me personally.


Not 100% sure I agree…

https://www.ourherd.io/ has had really strong feedback that it has had a positive impact by actually being a social app tailored for mental health…


A bit off topic, but I love “learning to fly” by Pink Floyd… “Young tied and twisted, just an earth bound misfit”.


I worked in Bangladesh for 3 years, and it is such a land of contrasts.

The main electricity supply company at the time was running manual billings from a big room filled with manual general ledgers, one “T” account per household.

It is a humbling, impoverished country with its main riches being its resilient, kind, resourceful people.

Down the road/bay from Chittagong are the shipwrecking yards - a big time investment but worth watching is this… https://youtu.be/5jdEG_ACXLw

<edit> the film I am looking for is Iron Eaters, a very human view of the horrific shipyards. The above film is from India, but still worth looking at.


Thank you for the link. I just watched it in entirety. It's slow moving but well worth it. It's about a world I did not know existed.


The National Film Board of Canada is one of that country's most culturally valuable assets.


Very watchable indeed. Great stuff!


I read a detailed interview with the person who does the enhancements a couple of days ago (can’t recall where a grrr).

He said: A) there are two of them in the team doing the imaging B) it doesn’t start with an image - it’s literally heaps of binary data that the scientists stitch together C) he then does the colour overlay based on agreed norms (one colour per input frequency for consistency) D) most of his “touch up” work is getting the colour gradient right between the brightest and dimmer objects - without this a lot of resolution would be lost (brights too bright, or dim not visible).

Hope this helps…


Oddly, if I buy an expensive pen I seem to look after it a lot more than a generic cheep one…


I don't. Hence, the procedure I mention above. There is much less guilt involved. I feel you, though.


I once heard a quote by Anthony Robbins that there are 6 human needs that drive all behaviours: 1) certainty, 2) variety, 3) significance, 4) love and connection, 5) growth and 6) contribution Interesting to match to the 4 desires…


Growth is very important. There is also 7) greed.


This is a much less cynical Outlook.


I feel an NFT debate coming on...


What surprises me is why this "giant capacitor" phenomena did not occur elsewhere? Surely it docked previously in wet/damp conditions? Would the effect have been visible?

Or was it that there has never been any leak across the whole structure when docked in wet?


The leak was a necessary component of the disaster.
