Qie Niangao Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 1 hour ago, archangel969 said: Yes, definately. And which continuitly? Every parcel/ landowner makes a SL world of his own. Suppose my neighbor builds a tall, ugly wall just on the other side of the land line. Naturally, I de-render it. But now visitors to my parcel walk towards what looks like an open space, smack into that invisible wall. That's the sort of "discontinuity" that can arise. It would be up to the visitor, though, whether they enabled the feature, so it wouldn't be a problem for vehicle users or other travelers who choose "continuity" (such as it is) in preference to landowner-curated views. Business-wise, I'm not sure which way the Lab would benefit more. I believe the Lab still wants the Mainland to offer as much value as it can (some folks don't agree), but being able to specify the de-rendered view from a parcel would make smaller parcels more valuable, which at the same time would diminish the incentive to "buy the view" with larger land holdings. I have no intuition which way the Lab would collect more tier from Mainland. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Last night my SL looked like a Science Circle discussion group. It was a nice, inclusive, friendly gathering for some good talk and learning. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion clarity and scientific terminology should be interrelated, and not one confuscate the other.

This place is really fun I don't mind getting punished for mentioning them, it's Generation XYZ, I think they are featured on the Destination Guide. They are fun and chatty and take requests, ugh, I sound like an ad. Anyway, that was my Second Life. Oh, I suppose it would be nice to share a Second Life experience concerning this photo. The couple dressed nice? They celebrated their engagement that night and it was wonderful, they had been a long time couple at the venue so they made it really nice for them, they did the same for me. (I tried editing my post but I am suspecting after an x amount of time you cannot? Makes sense to me.). where do i put the dots 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the need to impress by using overly convoluted language...well isn't impressive. It shows an sense of inferiority to me. A lack of confidence. A desire to prove they understand the subject. Which makes me feel they perhaps don't as much as they portray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the toughest challenges, especially if you are teaching a large class, is aiming the lesson somewhere in the middle of the comprehension range of the class. The teacher can be in a nasty position of having to decide whether to be sure that the least prepared student is still following, or favoring the quickest learners. Aim for the middle and you bore the heck out of the fast learners and you leave the slower ones in the dust. It's a lose-lose choice sometimes. Some students decide that you are trying the snow them; others wish you'd stop wasting time on things that are dead obvious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point, though, is that some people -- either because they have more experience or because they are habitually quick thinkers -- seem to grasp a new idea faster than others. From their point of view, the new idea may be "obvious" although everyone else can be struggling to figure out what's going on. There's nothing about the idea itself that makes it "obvious" or "intuitive" -- another misleading concept -- it's that some people understand it faster than others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but oftentimes it can be frustrating trying to tell someone what should be 'obvious'.. and also from my end, obvious is not always obvious, how did we get here? let me find a picture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's my point, really. The idea isn't obvious; it's just that some people get it faster than others. Anyway, this conversation is well off topic. If it doesn't get back on topic fast, the mods will zap it. I'm out. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
