The Data Bus was still a week away, so I took my bike to meet it.
I was greeted with a friendly beep as its LiDAR detected an obstacle
and the image recognition decided that I was likely a customer and not a rock.

The Bus stopped, slightly adjusting its roof-mounted solar panels, and allowed me connect to one of its terminals.
I downloaded a few movies and books, shared some of my music collection and my newest poetry experiments.

Mounting my bike, I gave it a wave, and it responded with a happy bip-bop before slowly resuming its patient crawl along the dirt road.

The car industry is even worse for your privacy than the worst tech company -- and that's because the worst behavior of the tech industry is embedded in every car.

The year is 2038. Craigslist still uses its 1998-era HTML and Perl CGI script. It is the fastest, most usable, and most accessible web site on the planet. The New York Times front page is 6 TiB. Gmail UI elements have 17 distinct border radii.

everything about the article infuriates me: the acceptance of subsidies to failing monopolies as the only way forward, the horrifying outcomes for kids, the truly stultifying ennui of electeds when Comcast fucks up (again, and again, and again, and again), and the failure to mention municipal broadband as a solution in dense places.

We've lost a lot of people over the past few years. All of them subtract from us in their own way, but we carry what they valued in our memories of their best selves. If we're lucky, we can be worthy of those hopes.

If there is someone you admire, who isn't super famous, but who is pretty accomplished and if they are over say...65 I want to advise you to do a morbid thing.

Think about how you would feel if they died and you never reached out to them. Never got their autograph, never sent an email that starts "I know you're probably too busy to answer this but ..."

Because you could just go on wondering what you might have learned... or wishing you could have let them know...

George Nguyen owns the Lam Seafood Market in Seattle's Little Saigon neighborhood. Nguyen said the crime and drug use outside — and inside — his store has gotten so intense in recent months that he's had to put up a foreboding barbed wire fence near the entrance.
Now he worries the fence is driving away customers. "The last thing I wanted to do was make our neighborhood look like a prison yard," Nguyen said.

He took credit for 1/6 & then when someone asked what was next, Tarrio said, we do it again.
That weighs on Kelly's concerns for deterrence.
