It is not 2006 anymore and this is not Twitter. Lets have better data collection: "I unfollowed you because you reposted this" is worthwhile feedback.

Why would this service be funded by the US state alone?
The users are multi-national, including the US state.
A membership and subscription system should fund the CVE registry happily.

Those of us working in AI for long enough remember Cyc and all that it aspired to do.

A cautionary tale somewhere hidden therein?

Totally agree it’s an act of abuse on his behalf.
Ironically he gets all bent out of shape when people call Twitter Twitter, an inanimate piece of software, yet he’s happy to deadname his daughter.

Last chance - if you don’t live too far away from WD7 8 (just North of London, right by the M25) I will actually put his thing in the car and bring it to you (or to a person/organisation that you nominate). A free 2009 iMac running Ubuntu Linux.
Do you live anywhere near Radlett in Hertfordshire? (Barnet, Edgware, Watford, St Albans) Would you like a 2009 27" iMac running Ubuntu - actually a viable video playback machine and obviously an interesting project? FREE OF CHARGE! Come and get it, friends!

It was great to catch up with Chelsea Manning.

Chelsea paid an enormous price for exposing US war crimes to the world — and continues to speak out against state surveillance and defend the human rights of others.

She is proof that acts of courage can change the world.

Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me.

Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits?

There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.

The US administration appear to believe that Mexico and southern US will be uninhabitable within 10 years. So they need to slow that realisation down, and move north.
This is the gold standard measure of atmospheric carbon, the one you see in almost every chart that tracks emissions.
The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Post.

There is a starling murmuration between 5:30pm and 6:30pm as they decide to roost in the Leylandii boundary of the Oxford Business park, behind Neilsen House/Oxford Biodynamics. I guess it will hold up whilst the weather is cold at night.
