Both of our political parties in the US are allowing/perpetuating a humanitarian crisis that needs to end yesterday. But only one of them we can actually fight past November; the other will kill protests and protestors dead with impunity, along with a whole lot of the rest of us.

I wish this were better. It isn't yet. Vote when and if you can, please.

Good idea: compression braces for the growing pains.
Bad idea: Running to the kitchen for your burnt tatertots and forgetting all about the compression braces until you slip and land right on your new tail.

Sierra On-Line accidentally included the source code to their AGI adventure game engine on some copies of Space Quest II. Its presence is not obvious but with enough sector sleuthing it is possible to recover about 70% of it. The recovered source code is peppered with illuminating comments regarding its history and authors. It can be examined in a GitHub repo linked in the article.

short rant on malicious tech

Anyway, any time this kind of scheme comes up, the questions start with "how is this better than what already exists"? Usually it isn't.

Instead, ask "how can this be used to steal shitloads of money or user data". And you'll arrive very quickly at how it's probably going to get used.

short rant on malicious tech

When you get down to it, the reason tech keeps investing in blockchain or AI or whatever it is next week is they're all efficient money laundering engines.

They have no long term technical merit, or had it stripped away, to steal at scale. And the reason companies all go for it is they're getting a cut of the money.

We really, really need to tax the rich, until their lives stop being contests using these as table stakes to see who can enrich themselves the fastest.
