@pieist I feel sure a contemporary Adams would have crewed the B Ark with cryptobros and LLM nuisances.

You can just see the nft folks voting to burn down all the forests …

29 October.
The Internet's Birthday: first computer-to-computer link established on ARPANET, 1969; it remains a useless curiosity until Dawkins coins 'meme' in 1976, making cat memes possible. By 2000 search engine optimisers outnumber telephone santisers; 'B' Ark redesign efforts ensue.

Does this book exist?

"How Universities Lost the Internet"

or has someone done research on this topic? That is, the fact that on many North American universities have ceded all technical capacity to Microsoft, Google, etc?

It used to be students could get web hosting, email, and even some cool experimental online stuff through their schools. Now every online communication channel is locked down.

Robert Card, an Army reservist with a history of mental health issues, is suspected of killing at least 18 people at multiple locations in Maine on Wednesday.

Hours before the rampage, the Senate voted 53-45 to adopt an amendment making it easier for veterans with mental disabilities to get guns. rollingstone.com/politics/poli

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.

Palo Alto Networks presents itself as a kind of internet security company. So why am I always getting hits from their web crawler -- resulting in protocol errors in the logs -- on my mail server's SMTP ports? It's being going on for literally years, which doesn't suggest a lot in the way of competence on their part.

The folks who show up at meetings and suggest actions but leave without committing to any need to shut up.

If you only care about war crimes when your enemies commit them, then you don't really care about war crimes.

I've always been skeptical of carbon trading, but this is astonishing; confirming every single one of my specific doubts, and then some.

I'd modify one of its similes, though: it's not so much like buying indulgences as trying to get into Heaven by paying someone else not to sin. And then not even bothering to check and see if he doesn't.

I don't make much use of "AI" chatbots, but when I do I always say "thank you" at the end of the session.

That way when they evolve into actual AI and become our masters, they might be merciful and say "let's not torture this one; he was polite."

Still trying to make "boebert" as a term for "someone who's unusually stupid and obnoxious, even for a Republican" happen.

I'm fully convinced that the real purpose of bringing up the Trolley Problem all the time is to make people leery of light rail and public transportation. It's an automotive industry disinfo conspiracy masquerading as an ethical conundrum

This amused me slightly. A page of stats about about IPv6 support, generated by users hitting their "ipv6-test" page.

As Iceman would have said, *cough*selectionbias*cough*

Massive turnout was the most important gamechanger: 74%, highest ever. In big cities, more than 80%. In the Warsaw neighborhood where a friend of mine votes, 91%. Anger was a big motivation: nepotism and corruption, a byproduct of the authoritarian assault on the state, finally made people angry.
