It would seem that a knowledge and understanding of history in the realm of computer programming is as essential as a knowledge and understanding of political, social, and economic history.
we knew musk and his incel crew probably didn’t know COBOL or even SQL, but it’s becoming more obvious they’re shit at even the foundational shit here. it’s also remarkable how little they understand in terms of basic business function and data.

This is a significant change. The DCA corridor feels harrowing due to all those helicopters as anyone taking planes from the airport knows.

I've had small recurring moments of delight from hearing that "Bold as Brass" may have been popularized when a Lord Mayor/Chief Magistrate named Brass Crosby wouldn't jail a man for publishing House of Commons info in a newspaper.

This quote resonates with WV History incredibly deeply: "the likelihood that a corporation will use the state in ways that do not actually benefit their residents is all too real"
I'm glad I had the opportunity to join my friend and colleague in encouraging caution for WV lawyers, policy makers, and legislators ( and also anyone else whose state is considering a data privacy law).
I'm also really proud of this paper:
