I am still using... a very old bio-method to track my reading; it has worked up til now but as time goes by data loss is an increasing possibility so I should probably switch to tech. I think there might be a fediverse Goodreads alternative for books? Bookwyrm. Also NeoDB but I'm not sure what that does.
Hopefully some of them survive. They sound so amazing.
Thanks for the book rec - good timing! I only just read Children of Time a few weeks ago - didn't realise the sequel was going to be about octopuses, thought it was just going to be spiders in space! @Dave@lemmy.nz has Children of Time on reading list too.
Thank you so much; I hadn't heard about that (out of the octopus loop). I can't find it now but I wonder if the instances I mentioned of wild octopuses learning were somehow related to those - if memory serves it was somewhere off the coast of California so some habitat overlap.
Wow, the LPSO have a lot of evolutionary potential. If their environmental conditions are right who knows what will happen. I don't mean to sound disloyal to my species but if humans do succeed in dragging themselves back into the stone age it might be time for the octopusses to shine. An Octipodean Era!
Interesting because they have a terrible privacy culture and leak like crazy - I say this not just because of their known incidents but also from personal experience.
I wonder if it's because their systems are so strict they tend to just work outside them? (a bit like the paradox where if a penalty for a crime is too draconian you end up with more of the crime due to reluctance to report).
Hopefully if they get a new system it will be one all their staff can use properly.
The Northern Boys record label is Singhusworld which is actually a dairy/cornershop that got into music to make money to save the dairy from being shut down after it sold this home made drink (nonalcoholic). Their whole online footprint is priceless.
Well unfortunately no, this is the tragedy of the octopuses - they don't know their parents and grandparents. Their mothers die when they are born and their fathers are absent, and they are solitary.
Their only chance at learning is social or observational learning from peers but because of the territory arrangements even that doesn't happen a lot as far as we know, though scientists have observed some younger octopuses learning from watching older ones from a distance.
Octopuses are incredibly smart. They can infer from context, make generalizations, spatially imagine objects, and even show altruism. If only they could do what you said and pass on knowledge the world would be their oyster!
..maybe it is an explorer. I wish octopuses were able to communicate more knowledge intergenerationally. It feels like they don't currently get the most out of their intellects.
Ideally are you able to make contact with a music teacher or kapa haka teacher from NZ?
I think you would benefit from showing your students some of the footage of students performing kapa haka (on youtube). These kids are about 11.
Also, please do not rely on the Wikihow. Please do not teach your students that any girls doing a pukana are "expressing their sexuality"!!! That is misleading. Here is a resource from New Zealand's educational system, which talks about pukana in a way that is appropriate for 11 year olds.
I guess the other component is consequences, i.e whose privacy is being breached and what recourse they have. So from that point of view I'd expect organizations like Oranga Tamariki and WINZ to have developed a worse privacy culture than organizations like IRD and MBIE.

Awesome. Corvids seem like a solid choice.
