Hub notes and structure notes don't get a lot of attention in the zettelkasten discourse, especially in comparison to reference notes and main notes. This lack of airtime has led to misunderstandings about what hub and structure notes are, what their function is, and whether the terms can be used interchangeably (they can't). To clear things up, we'll look at what distinguishes these notes, as well as how they work together to help you find and develop ideas in your zettelkasten.| Writing by Bob Doto

Renew Economy: David Dixon, from Rystag Energy, says renewables produced 8.48 terrawatt hours in September, the second highest ever, to claim a record share of generation of 48.8 per cent. That eclipsed coal for the first time, which accounted for 47.6 per cent over the month. Awesomesauce!

Last month marked the two-year anniversary of the Artsakh war, in which hundreds of thousands of ethnic Armenians were cleansed of their homes, livelihoods, and history. As with Latvia, Armenia has had an oversized influence on my life (worth it’s own post at some point), so I’ve decided to do more of a serious post today and finally tackle something I believe warrants far more attention than it’s received, at least in the famously myopic Anglosphere. Armenia sits in the Caucusus region...| Rubenerd

A good product or service has to do more than just deliver value to a customer, it has to appeal to some deeper underlying desire that was put into our human nature to ensure our long-term survival. In fact, all successful products and product categories are fundamentally hacking evolution in this way. Let me demonstrate. The easiest place to start seeing this pattern is in simple consumer goods. The food industry makes us desire food of previously unheard-of caloric density. That’s hacking...|
Our society is grappling with the meaning of our fundamental rights in the present day: freedom of speech vs freedom of reach, the right to privacy in a world of social media, etc. You also hear calls for a new set of rights, beyond the set given to us by Enlightenment thinkers generations ago.

The original Blade Runner showed us that two replicants can fall in love. This makes sense, because a replicant is almost indistinguishable from a naturally-born human.
