A long, long time ago I had an ISO bumper sticker with two cars colliding at equal heights. Can't seem to find any evidence of it existing anywhere, offline or online...
I'd recommend: Four Futures - Life After Capitalism.

@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?)

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...
"Without the efforts of the workers the company would not have value so

Is Google doing anything special for all the works entering the Public Domain in 2019?
For example the 1923 version of this Book is now freely available.

I started selfhosting my Known instance at https://1500wordmtu.com
The folks at withknown.com are nice, but their focus isn't on end-users these days and I need to get this on SSL, plus would like to use more plugins. [And if all goes well this posts to my social.coop mastodon account!]

So in these trying times it's always good to celebrate #momentsofjoy -- those little things that make life good.
My moment of joy is recently finding Computher and 8 Bit Weapon in my music stream.

go/tacotown is now deprecated code wrapped in a dead product (Buzz) and contained in another deprecated product (consumer G+).
content warning: excessive food.

And I sure hope it doesn't get wrapped in a big Apps deprecated blueberry pancake.
@BrokeAssStuart @Benioff @markpinc @zynga I'll never forget when High-level Zynga folks bragged about the 1247830millions they made from the "Tip the Dealer" feature on Texas Hold'em.
That was in 2008 -- so yeah, sorrow all the way down.

Reviewing a doc and looking for suggestions on an evocative way of conveying non-technical user of a product? Here's the passage I flagged:
And not just a lot of people, but everyday people -- people like our mothers, our gym-buddies, that one friend that DMs you all the funny tweets.

With Inbox out of the way Hop might gain traction.... (and then will likely be acquired by the Assistant team /s). That said it's amazing what .5m in seed funding can do these days. Pretty impressive given those constraints.

This is a fascinating discussion between Danah Boyd and Douglas Rushkoff. It Covers:
- "Amplification, Freedom of Speech and platform paternalism.
- Networks vs Groups/Community and how to stop tribalism.
- Why Media Literacy isn't enough to combat fake news.
- Google's Original Sin:

A ton of great content here including Vint's talk on Digital Preservation.
As a Googler you'll want to have a thick skin and open mind for many of these.

The Talk: "Internet Infrastructure Challenges with Decentralized Web" was really quite good. The associated article that goes with this is also worth a read, especially as 5G arrives and ISPs try to become "The Cloud".
