I’m getting the picture that governance is a great thing until you find out that other people want to govern you back.
The encouragement of a situation where you disconnect with those outside, the sleep deprivation, the drip of hints that you’re not meeting the standard, the trust in the great leader.
It also sounds corporate, yes.
You know how sometimes you use a grocery app and it’s fairly obvious that the people writing them don’t spend time in grocery stores? I’m getting that same impression here.
That startup founder. Is he okay?
With so many parts of tech operating like a mixture of religion and fandom this would be the atheistic answer. (This is my diametric opposite of a sneer.)
I think we’ve all walked by a giant important point.
These nearly-all-male network state fans have such compelling ideas that women outside their immediate circles would rather Xerox “bits of their bodies” than engage with those ideas. Their outreach “embassy” attracts even fewer women every day. Possibly even an average number rounding to zero.
Right now it seems like their polities will be remembered in the same religious studies lessons that teach about the Shakers.
Well look if you no longer had a Silicon Valley executive’s salary you might have opinions about that situation too.
Weird sort of wartime to be investing new dollars into Israel though I thought?

This reminds me of the reaction when I point out that to non-native English speakers that Canadian students may not have had as much English grammar instructions as they did.
Also this brought to mind all those times I’ve been taken to task about my own phrasing.
Gatekept by non-readers indeed.
Weird, I thought that policies such as improving the uptake of asset-backed commercial paper(1), loosening restrictions on beneficial owner(2) anonymity in shell corporations(3), and even protecting network marketing(4) companies from innovation-unfriendly regulations would be far bigger vote getters than this.
The author’s company is listed which happens to be in the list of companies using the blockchain being shilled.
That’s practically above board in the land of blockchain companies.
Just a minor paragraph rewrite for clarity.
“The reality of generative AI is you’ve got to have a foundation of cloud computing,” AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Dave Levy, whose compensation relies on him successfully growing Amazon’s computer rental income, told Nextgov/FCW in a June 26 interview at AWS Summit. “You’ve got to get your data in a place where you can actually do something with it.”
It’s always so tedious when these little conflict of interest notes are left out of articles.
I applaud your optimism that most people can do this without AI but have you gone and met people? Most people are not that capable of producing torrents of shameless bullshit as conscience or awareness of social and/or professional costs rear their head at some point.
Now is that number total in actual money or in fake internet money?
We were all here for the historic moment where “alleged gropers” really came into their own as a political donor demographic.
I came here for his full-throated support of Apple Music staying installed no matter what and I am so sorely disappointed.
There is nobody quite as cranky as the (relatively) regular person who has to clean up after the rich person’s mess.
A really good lesson on offline backups of things like issue trackers, though.
I can’t tell which of these profits are in actual currency and which are in fake money.
