@codinghorror@infosec.exchange I suspect that closing sentence doesn't really say what you mean..?
"GMI... hell no." 🤔

"Earth Ship & Star Song" was a favorite early read of mine. This cover art is like a familiar face. (Doesn't resemble any vessel in the book, but it's intriguing.)

Anyone notice if they've started architecting cities around the Segway scooter yet?

I have a policy of not buying another app from app makers who sold their previous app to a giant tech corp that morged it.
But if anyone was gonna tempt me...

Blinking is autonomic meaning we don't usually have to think about it, but that doesn't mean it happens like clockwork. Like breathing, it's subject to conditions. We blink less when looking at a screen than we would otherwise.

A reference to actor Catherine Schell of Space: 1999 just reminded me of the young pianist and singer Katherine Schell who released an album in 2005 and... disappeared, apparently.
Not even sure how I came across her back then. I think she might have performed at a show that a friend of mine played at. I have the CD in some box somewhere, but the songs are still online:

Wired gives you a few free articles per day/week or something, then locks down. Try it in a different browser or device where you haven't been reading Wired lately.

Recently started a rewatch of Person of Interest, the 2011 sci-fi series about... well, Palantir basically.
(The fictiony part is the conscience-stricken tech genius secretly using his creation to help the little people.)

That resembles a waterfall in the Boundary Waters where I hopped from one side to the other on the little nubs of exposed rock, to the understandable horror of adults watching from below. 😬

People who like Wilco and Sonic Youth (and it's always both of them) are usually weird but harmless.
I'm wary of anyone who voluntarily listens to Vampire Weekend, Bastille, or Modest Mouse.
But anyone who claims to like Jack Johnson can't be trusted and is best ghosted forever.

Well this is sobering:
“The Kill Line ...a sharp, unsettling, and revealing metaphor used by ordinary Chinese commentators to describe how American society appears from the outside. The Kill Line names an invisible threshold in the United States: a point at which a single shock, medical, financial, or legal, can push an otherwise productive middle-class citizen into irreversible collapse."

Every classroom in the school had a TV mounted to the wall. Most were off as classes went on as usual.
But someone, somewhere, was still excited enough about space launches -- or this mission in particular -- to watch it live.
A PA announcement from the office: "Turn on your TVs. The space shuttle has exploded."
(Wow I choked up just writing that sentence.)
For the next few hours, classes were effectively suspended. Period bells ignored. Kids were allowed to roam, find their friends, sit quietly together wherever they were. Adults of the time had seen some things. For students, this was our first national tragedy.

I don't know what everybody's upset about. All AI features are opt-in only. You have to deliberately opt-in by failing to repeatedly disable several cryptic default settings hidden behind an obscure configuration URL.
