@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

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.

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.”

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.”
