Dieses Interview mit der Holocaust-Überlebenden Irene Weiss sollten sich Merz, CDUCSU & Co. mal anhören/durchlesen:

"Man can turn into an animal in no time. All he needs is permission. As soon as permission is given from higher-ups, from the government, it accelerates. Even a hint of permission that it's okay to attack this group or exclude this group or shame that group. It's-- it's happening. I-- it's never stopped."

'I was having fish and chips back in 1985 with my wife in Notting Hill Gate. He was at another table and said: “Ian, how are you? What are you doing after dinner? Do you want to come over and do something?” So we went back in the studio, smoked a large spliff, and did the opening of Slave to the Rhythm.'

Mark Silk notes that the "pro-life" movement is in political retreat following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision and the chaos that decision has ushered in. The "pro-life" movement now finds itself "at serious odds with Americans' historical deference to diversity of belief."

Silk concludes that “the pro-life movement has pushed the political envelope too far.”

Probably idiot question.
If I were to make a bot* in as a learning project, do I need a machine running constantly to run it, or should I do it on a cloud service?
I got a sitting around, would that do?

Welp. I've had it. Time to clean up my feed while I contemplate some "editorials" brewing in my soul. I think I'm going to start with muting all who excoriate Biden without mentioning congress. Anyone who advocates not voting will be gone. And nope, I'm not worried about echo-chambers. I don't rely on social media rants for hard facts or much news. I come here to find smart people with good perspectives, and lemma tell ya... whole lot of the current flow is NOT it.

Cyclopean Masonry -

The system with which walls of prehistoric citadels were built, two sides with coarsely carved boulders, assembled without binder but with smaller stones in intermediate gaps for solidity, while wall thickness between two sides was filled with stone and soil.

Knossos and Phaistos, great centers of Minoan civilization, had majestic fortifications, but corresponding fortifications in citadels of Tiryns, Mycenae and Arnis better explain impression given by these walls.

Roughly half of Covid infections are asymptomatic. I don’t know who’s sick or not. You don’t know who’s sick or not. Half the people running around don’t even know they’re sick. I’m not taking chances with Schrödinger’s aerosolized moist breath virus. We’ll see at the end when we tot up all our accumulated infections who comes out ahead. (I’m still at zero so far)

You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

The scammer is on the phone to you.
Their accomplice is on the phone to your bank, pretending to be you.
Your bank send you the notification.
You accept, and scammers proceed to drain your account.

Someone has just lost £18,000 because of this.

Marco Rogers is having an interesting thread about software estimation worth following over here - https://mastodon.social/@polotek@social.polotek.net/112367324284383164 -
but two things I want to note without cluttering up his conversation are:

  • Geez, there's a lot of heuristics and made-up numbers being tossed around. This whole field is pre-scientific.

  • Maybe I haven't been in the right rooms or invited to the right conversations, but I've never, ever seen or heard of a software shop auditing its own time/cost predictions. Not once.

I want to re-up this, with a question:

"Maybe I haven't been in the right rooms or invited to the right conversations, but I've never, ever seen or heard of a software shop auditing its own time/cost predictions. Not once."

Have you worked at a software company that has a retrospective or postmortem process for their planning? Not execution, but to review plans and predictions about scheduling, resource allocation and expected audience or market, to reveal errors, learn and improve?

That is correct. Your righteous anger is misplaced and you are at fault, yes.

History will record you as complicit and cooperative to the groups you claim to demonstrate against and protest about. They will refer to you as a "useful idiot" and you will disagree and think it has value.

As Crane Brinton noted in his book on the subject, while "we must not expect our revolutions to be identical", three of the four (the English, French and Russian) began "in hope and moderation", reached "a crisis in a reign of terror", and ended "in something like dictatorship—Cromwell, Bonaparte, Stalin". The exception is the American Revolution, which "does not quite follow this pattern".
