Your periodic reminder to reread 10 things. Not sure this is linked from anywhere but it still exists.
I'd like to see a required online course for history, philosophy and ethics on equal footing with "You Said What" and other legal mandated training.

Is this even covered in Noogler training?
Martin Fowler with the hot takes. I for one hope that we can get away from the speed vs quality arguments that always pop up..
The building blocks of software development - languages, libraries, and platforms - change significantly every few years. The equivalent in the physical world would be that customers usually add new floors and change the floor-plan once half the building is built and occupied, while the fundamental properties of concrete change every other year.

Just got the password notification email on my personal dasher domain.
**hugs** to the teams dealing with unencrypted passwords.
I finally finished the very long https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26195941-the-age-of-surveillance-capitalism Anyone else?
I have opinions, but I don't think I'll write them here... However reading the background on B.F. Skinner brought up childhood memories of coin operated "chicken playing tic-tac-toe" at the County Fair.
My fear is that the solution for data labeling is the Apps Flexible Orgs project which is all about implementing silos within a dasher domain. For example: large customer wants union vs non-union workers kept in separate Org Units and unable to communicate.
I'd link it, but I'm not sure if it's need-to-know or not...

I can't seem to create a post using the FAB on Web (Chrome Stable). Also if you make the window narrow the FAB button goes under the Posts.

Always nice to see good stuff come out of Minneapolis.
A Poem for Code Red and Google+ turndown:
Here, in the melting structures of obsolete systems, is the fluid of possibility. It’s sticky with confusion, it smells like pain, & it stains the past w/ dyes of remorse. There is no blissy workshop to take to avert the discomfort. There is no formula for success. Just show up.

In June 1995 I presented "Using Gopher with the World-Wide-Web" at GopherCon 95.

@evacide Sounds like the long awaited Real Genius reboot... Who will play the Val Kilmer role is an open question...
Hmm, maybe mimic Ethereum?

- Reusable libraries/components MIT or Apache?
- Resonate-specific frontends/backends, AGPL? (like Mastodon?)
Note: AGPL would restrict participation by corp contributors (like myself)

Is Utopia a Hospital?
Fred Turner --
A hospital is a place where people get together, work very hard over very long periods of time in defined roles, checking and rechecking each other’s work, and they work toward a benevolent goal of saving lives.

One solution; treat open source like a VC.
Companies take a "FOSS/FLOSS" round -- in exchange for using community property firms would put ~7% of equity in escrow, that would be used exclusively to fund these efforts.

Looks like you can still watch Eric's BOD Town Halls.
Watching the last one now. Lots of interesting places where the rhetoric diverges from what actually happened...
