Not easy to find Kernel magazine in Turin. But got it shipped overseas and it’s worth it. No better read on the intersection of tech and society. (h/t @kuppermann.xyz )

Last week I watched a city burn from a rooftop in Kathmandu.
Here are my reflections on what sparked a revolution: a government social-media ban, rage at corruption, and the unchecked power of global tech.

#Kathamndu protests have spread to Patan-Lalitpur. Here’s the scene outside my office.
After killing 19 protesters yesterday, the Prime Minister refuses to resign. So the streets remain dangerous today.

I don't have the answers, but I wrote a long text with some early thoughts: tomasp.net/architecture/

Same goes for Benjamin Franklin, btw, who changed his variolation skeptic ways after losing a child to smallpox. (variolation was imperfect, with a ~2% mortality rate, though mortality from natural infections with smallpox was around 14.6%)

It’s a computational notebook, where all cells are running all the time. Fascinatingly, the UI is the code, adorned with small widgets. I think legibility could be improved for other users, but this points to possibilities in other domains.
