1. Create scarcity. 2. ??? 3. Profit!
Any discussion of this must center the fact that the surveillance began in Jan.-Feb. 2001, NOT after 11 September. The one telecom executive who objected was instantly framed into prison.
He thinks it's like the wind machine with money blowing round in it.
They've never told the truth before, why start now?
Pour encourager les autres.
Gold bits or no support, no liability, no E&O, no auditor signoff.
It knows that jobs are not the valuable things.
There are no blue states. There are only blue cities. If they wish to "secede", what that indicates is that they have not thought through how easy it is to block a road.
It is easy to say that we live in a bad time. It is also empty, because there has never been a good time, and because each bad time-and-place (h/t Tolstoy) is bad for its own reasons, which must be accurately understood…
Censorship isn't done because it "works", just as torture is not. The public discourse is worth protecting IFF people think it is. (There are things that Freddie-baby wants it protected from. (The preceding sentence is…
None of the above. If (as is far too likely) AI is given any "control" over infrastructure -- the power grid and banking come first to mind; transportation might be a little more resilient -- the results could cascade…
It had more to do with the ecosystems and the corporate relationship. The -10s came from a earlier perspective. It was open source before "open source". You bought the software and you got the source, because of course…
Profound apologies -- on the basis of one of your earlier comments, I took you for someone with the same initials.
DEC quit making them in 1983.
Systems Concepts may have had other prospects, but they had so much trouble getting the product out the door that Compuserve ultimately helped them finish it, licensed it (? exclusively), and produced all but a couple…
I find this offer acceptable.
There is a guy on YouTube playing with SC-40s who has part of the TOPS-10 based stack, which I guess is what you mean. The Internetty stuff went by the umbrella name of HMI (Host-Micro Interface) and was guarded like…
I was there. What killed Compuserve was an attempt to build an entire back-end infrastructure, software and hardware, de novo, using immature consumer-grade technology. It was a shocking thing to witness from the…
Wars aren't meant to end. They are meant to go on forever.
All of your questions assume that prevention has already failed (where never-being-attempted is a category of failure). In this, you are in numerous, perhaps effectively universal, company. Humans are born mad; the…
Language, how does it work? Is PeopleSoft "consequential"? If so, in what ways?
Here is how to see it. Business rules evolve over decades by the gradual accretion of special cases, often at the whim of a single whale customer; their implementations are usually untested (except for the narrow edge…
By the end of 2027, the data centers will be white elephants, monuments to misallocation born of confusion born of devolution.
Ideology -- any ideology -- is a newborn lying in its own shìt.
He doesn't get it. Solving the wrong problem is better than solving the right problem, but you're not supposed to solve any problems at all.
