Mamdani’s Victory Speech – annotated
Inspired by Anil's hope for an "easter egg breakdown" of the mayor-elect's victory speech, I spent some time digging in. I know there's more that I've missed, add your own in the comments below. The sun may have set over our city this evening, but as Eugene Debs once said: “I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity.” For as long as we can remember, the working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well-connected that power does not belong in their hands.

This administration has a real problem with the truth. It lies constantly, and then also tries to hide anything truthful that damages its narrative or debunks its lies.

The six member of the CAC will ultimately recommend the project to the New York Gaming Facility Location Board and help determine which three (out of eight) applicants ultimately receive a casino license. If you have any interest in this project, I would encourage you to learn more by viewing the livestream. Work will keep me from watching but I would love to hear what you think.

Cloudflare’s new mission
Cloudflare sees about 20% of the world's internet traffic cross its network. Matthew Prince, CloudFlare's CEO, has a pretty good handle on trending internet behavior. In the video below, he summarizes the impact of AI "answer engines" that summarize what they find in response to questions put into AI chatbots such as Google's AI Overview or Open AI's Chat GPT. What he concludes is that the exchange that allowed the search engines to index a site in return for referred pageviews is no longer equitable and is growing increasingly lopsided. …

“According to a new cease-and-desist letter reviewed by Rolling Stone, the organizers for Trump’s military parade were explicitly told they did not have permission to use the song, acknowledged that they did not have permission, & then… “illegally” used the song for Trump’s festivities regardless.”
