In mere weeks, the Trumpists have managed to push America into that space somewhere between (no longer) democracy and full-scale autocracy. That means we must recalibrate our expectations. Let’s finally discard whatever notion of “It cannot happen here” is still floating around.

What does the U.S. look like in five or ten years?

I was asked to reflect on this question, alongside other scholars. In a stable democracy, the range of plausible outcomes should be narrow. But for America, it now includes complete democratic breakdown and full-blown authoritarian rule.

@adamshostack @noplasticshower @SteveBellovin @cigitalgem @matthew_d_green @spaf Once again, there is absolutely no publicly available information sufficient to support any conclusions here. And some of the speculation is of the form "Oh, he's of Chinese origin? I know what it must be!". In other words, racist.

Maybe he's a spy. Maybe he's a serial killer. Maybe he's suffering amnesia and wandering around in some desert. We just don't know yet.

In 1960, the station was sold to the "Far East Broadcasting Company", which changed the format to chiefly Christian religious programming. The station ceased operation in 1994, and its antenna field was razed soon afterward.

Fortunately, the transmitter house survives and remains in excellent condition. It currently belongs to a wastewater treatment plant located adjacent to the site. I believe the building is now leased out as office space.

KGEI was a 250KW commercial shortwave international radio broadcast station. Originally constructed, owned and operated by General Electric, the station opened in 1939 on San Francisco's Treasure Island. In 1941, it moved to a permanent site in Redwood City. This building housed the transmitter and control facilities; the exterior walls are three feet thick, to better resist any WW II enemy bombings. At the time, KGEI was the only US broadcast station capable of reaching across the Pacific.

This modest but handsome, art-deco-accented building was built in 1941 to house the transmitter for "KGEI", a commercial shortwave radio broadcast station whose programming could be heard across the Pacific. It shut down for good in 1994.

Literal quote I read on another social network (concatenated from a larger one):

“I'm not a developer, I got two AI models to develop a web app from my instructions…my AI workflow generated a production-ready app”

I'm sorry, but if you are not a software developer you don't know what a "production-ready app" is, how it works, what it means to maintain it, what problems will arise in the future, how to deal with those problems, and a lengthy host of issues too numerous to contain here.
