  1. Equivalent latitude (Climatology 🌍)

    In differential geometry, the equivalent latitude is a Lagrangian coordinate. It is often used in atmospheric science, particularly in the study of stratospheric dynamics. Each isoline in a map of equivalent latitude follows the flow velocity and encloses the same area as the latitude line of equivalent value, hence "equivalent latitude."...

  2. and just getting off my chest, the whole thing around sensor and lens equivalence (if you know you know if you don't count yourself lucky) is....it's painful. It's not right, it's barely able to reach the dizzying height of being wrong, and it's not useful.

    (the technical aspects of achieving a given exposure look and feel to a frame requires a balance between sensor sensitivity (aka ISO), shutter speed and aperture. equivalence is not a thing)

  4. The free vs literal dichotomy of #translation was written by philosophers, not translators. Nida's formal vs dynamic equivalence was intended as a tool for translators, not a way of classifying entire translations. Let's ditch the dichotomies. We don't need them. We never did.

  5. "No Labels" group raises alarms with third-party presidential preparations

    William Galston, a Brookings Institution policy scholar, said this week that he would separate himself from No Labels, which he helped found, over its 2024 planning for a #third-#party campaign to #challenge Biden and Trump.
    
“I am proud of No Labels’ record of bipartisan legislation, and I know its leaders want what is best for the country. But I cannot support the organization’s preparation for a possible independent presidential candidacy,” he said in a statement.

    “There is #no #equivalence between President Biden and a former president who threatens the survival of our constitutional order. And most important, in today’s closely divided politics, any division of the anti-Trump vote would open the door to his reelection.”

  6. Are you careful about your entrances and exits? Making sure that you always leave keep the counts of entries and exits thru a door equal? +1 going in, -1 exiting, so your endgame sum should always be zero. Learned about this one day while reading @neilhimself #superstition #equivalence
