@MicroWave I agree with President Biden. To let Putin win is to let the Republicans win. That is one thing that absolutely must not be allowed to happen.
@MicroWave I was enthusiastic about the prospects for high-speed rail, but then locomotives got the John Deere treatment (re. "intellectual" "property")...
@MicroWave Sometimes I go off topic. Probably not the best thing for a manifesto blog. Point taken. astoundingteam.com/wordpress/a…
@MicroWave Stuff like this is why I "invented" #anagorism (anti-market anarcho-socialism).
In a #market economy, one has to market oneself.
Market economies grade on confidence, definitely at the expense of competence.
@Rozauhtuno A modern website or mobile app is very intentionally designed to transmit signal (direct observations of behavior, and other actionable data) in one direction and noise (basically bloat) in the other. To forego any monetization opportunity is to leave money on the table, and of course that is a literal sin against the principal-agent principle. If we wanted search to be a utility, content to be a library, communication to be person-to-person, or platforms to come without vendor lock-in, we should have left the Internet in mostly academic hands, as it was in the early 1990s.
@DmMacniel @loaExMachina Yes, and her name is Xue.
