Subject: Greetings from Dropbox; Yes, I'm working on a weeknight :)
Hi Paul,
They say, "The early bird gets the worm," well this early worm would really enjoy a conversation about your skills, goals, and interest. To be brief, you have an excellent educational and technical background and I'd enjoy the opportunity to discuss your expertise a bit further (Not tonight of course).

Paging the Spaces team! Talkshow had some neat features that might be apropros. Controlling the "Microphone" was one of them..

Vint Cerf speaks today at noon! Via VC or in MTV-1950
_We create digital content in enormous and growing quantities every day. Much of this content requires software to be displayed (images, videos) or manipulated (e.g. spreadsheets and text documents) or executed (e.g. video games). In some cases, specific operating systems and hardware are needed for support. We face a challenge to preserve digital content over periods of hundreds or years because the software and associated hardware may no longer exist. There are legal issues associated with copyright of content and licensing of software as well as business models that must somehow be sustained for long periods of time. This talk will outline some of the challenges and possible solutions._

Needed to fire up an Etherium test node so I thought I'd give Azure a shot since they have a nifty dev-labs tool built for it.
Pretty nice. I had a VM up and running with 00 credit in about 15 minutes, even with recovering my live.com password account.

Then expand that further, let anyone make communities with a recurring membership fee, or private profiles with a membership. Sort of like Patreon.. but better.

Would people be interested in attending a *Google Talk* about the *Long Now* projects 10,000 year clock[1] and Rosetta disk[2]? I'm in touch with their staff and they expressed interest and I'd like to know if it's worth my time to organize the event...
Also I recommend joining and attending their events. Lots of interesting people and viewpoints that you normally don't get inside the tech bubble. Plus it feels like you're a member of a secret society and their bar _The Interval_[3] serves up damn fine cocktails.

Found some weekend reading based on the abstract alone.
_Although it has been a part of the dark underbelly of the Internet since its inception, recent events have brought the discussion board site 4chan to the forefront of the world's collective mind. In particular, /pol/, 4chan's "Politically Incorrect" board has become a central figure in the outlandish 2016 Presidential election. Even though 4chan has long been viewed as the "final boss of the Internet," it remains relatively unstudied in the academic literature.
In this paper we analyze /pol/ along several axes using a dataset of over 8M posts. We first perform a general characterization that reveals how active posters are, as well as how some unique features of 4chan affect the flow of discussion. We then analyze the content posted to /pol/ with a focus on determining topics of interest and types of media shared, as well as the usage of hate speech and differences in poster demographics. We additionally provide quantitative evidence of /pol/'s collective attacks on other social media platforms. We perform a quantitative case study of /pol/'s attempt to poison anti-trolling machine learning technology by altering the language of hate on social media. Then, via analysis of comments from the 10s of thousands of YouTube videos linked on /pol/, we provide a mechanism for detecting attacks from /pol/ threads on 3rd party social media services._

All-in on Ubiquity
Turned off my HP workstation for the last time.
You can get 6CPU, 32GB mem, 300GB disk hosts these days. They're actually pretty decent for most work. You lose hyperthreading but you get 46MB cpu cache. I/O feel relatively snappy.
Get your own https://
Of course I look forward to the day when all of this runs on GCE and I can remount my block device on a n1-highmem-32 (32 cpus, 208GB memory !!)

Added a new ubiquity instance recently. I'm happy to say that I've moved my home directory to a git repo. For internal usage git on borg is a good choice.
gob-ctl create user/lindner/dotfiles
cd ~
git init
echo "*" > .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "initial commit"
git remote add origin sso://user/lindner/dotfiles
git push -u origin master

*Good*: Facebook killed the profile 2 minutes after I reported it for impersonation. Also a great way to get in touch with old friends as they ask 'was that you?'.
*Bad*: the grammar.

Of course Orkut could probably retire just by serving ads on 404 responses.
I found my first email to Google. From the year 2000. Since then I've worked through five companies, but Joan Braddi is still here.
And since I'm on the inside now I was able to find the that cl #8802 referenced the work I was doing at the time, which was adding search to www.redhat.com. (Or Red hat, as you can see here)
https://
I do have to wonder if Red Hat's slow payment of their 5k+ contract fees hurt the early Google, or what might have happened had Google gotten into the RPM search field as I suggested to them way back when...
And for a real blast from the past see the search stats that were emailed out monthly(!)
