@pluralistic your innovation article immediately brought to mind Carliss Baldwin and Eric von Hippel's seminal work on the nature of innovation, and how open collaborative activity is really the engine of innovation in the modern economy. https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/orsc.1100.0618

Reminds me of when mobile carriers started “enhancing” requests to monetize their knowledge of customers. https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/28/paypal_ad_network/

Trump, showing sense of purpose, goes to see the libertarians. https://www.rawstory.com/chaos-trump-should-have-taken-bullet/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon It is not going well.

If you implement or use HTTP at scale, you might be interested in attending the HTTP Workshop.

The workshop is 2-3 days of lightly structured discussion; we rely on the depth of experience in the room to make it a valuable event.

We also welcome students and want to diversify our community, so please express your interest if you're not sure!

It’s common for voluntary technical standards developing organisations (SDOs such as the IETF and W3C) to make decisions by consensus, rather than (for example) voting. This post explores why we use consensus, what it is, how it works in Internet standards and when its use can become problematic.

The thing is, if you asked ANYONE outside Australia ‘who is Gina Rinehart’ last week, you would have got a blank stare. This portrait is now how she will be known and remembered.

Well put.

“Rinehart seems to want to use her money for cultural influence. Namatjira uses his talent to the same end.

She wants to control her public image, and will deploy people financially dependent on her to that end. His art is a subversion of that control.

Rinehart’s attempts at censorship have only elevated Namatjira and brought his work to a new audience.”

Also, great quote:

“Namatjira’s political leaders all look frozen, dull behind the eyes, whiter than white, and as if battling an internal war with their fakery and greed.”

And this is their earnings call.

"I think the central risk to Palantir, America and the world is a regressive way of thinking that is corrupting and corroding our institutions that calls itself progressive, but actually — and is called woke — but is actually a form of a thin pagan religion,"

"That is a real danger to our society. And it is a real danger to Palantir if we allow -- if we don't discuss these things. The reason we have by far the best product offering in the world is because we have by far the best alignment around how to build software, what it means to build software, full alignment with our customers, a view that some -- the Western way of living is superior and, therefore, it should be supported by the best products."

A quick overview/review of a book that I found fascinating: "Design Rules Volume 1: The Power of Modularity" by Carliss Baldwin and Kim Clark. It ties together a lot of themes I've ben focused on, and there's even more interesting followup work!

Law enforcement is asking - yet again - for access to encrypted communications. This post tries to succinctly summarise why that's a bad idea.

"It is striking, to say the least, that so many more meritorious reform proposals pertaining to equitable digital privacy, content moderation, and antitrust policy – ones which had a real chance to address tech platforms’ power – never made it through the House."
