I'll be at @rightscon.org in 臺北 next week! Who else will be there? Who should I meet? Particularly interested in meeting anyone publishing to the @ipfs.tech public network, or interested in data, verifiability, portability, and federated networks.

Bright spot of today: hearing a roomful of PhDs and other deeply technical data experts say "this is a social and coordination problem, solve that first and the technical solutions will follow"

How do new contributors to an OSS project become enduring & empowered? Some ideas: - Timely responses on new PRs from newer (fewer than 5 PRs?) contribs - Tone of that response - Increasing complexity of PRs - Adequate pool of mid-range contributors (maybe 3-10 PRs?) What else?

Fogo Island dwellers divide the year into 7 seasons: Berry Season, Late Fall Winter, Pack Ice, Spring, Trap Berth, Summer. Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, but for seasons. www.nationalgeographic.com/expeditions/...

A myth of government efficiency is that cutting payroll = cutting overall costs. But 90% of federal IT spending is in contracts. (OMB and GAO reports estimate ~$90B in contracts and ~$9B in payroll). (1/3)

"Meet them where they are" now applies to local-first & p2p functionality in browsers too! Moving mountains (browsers) is slow. In the meantime, have some AutoTLS 😉

Model train / airplane people: what kind of epoxy or glue do you recommend to reattach these plastic wings to the metal body? Super glue didn't work very well. I swear the FAA had nothing to do with this.

Bemused & marvelling at today's citywide unity for the Eagles parade. Schools, universities, city offices, heck even the GROCERY STORE all closed today. 1 million people attended. Can you imagine if we shut down on Election Day every year? Huge advantage over the rest of the state.

This Friday: - FDR Park (an Olmsted Park like Prospect Park and Central Park!) is closed to cars - Subways are free all day and running every 5-8 mins thanks to a tequila sponsor Philadelphia CAN have nice things, but only when the Eagles win.

WeatherXM and other decentralized scientific monitoring networks will have an interesting role to play if NOAA becomes less stable.

I swear they teach the Eagles fight song at birth in this city. My 1.5 year old can sing it. Delayed opening today and school district is probably shutting down on Friday for the parade. I don't really follow NFL (too commercial, too much TBI, slow game clock) but unity is fun.

Copyright law was created on the premise that original works are more valuable than derivatives. But in the 21st century, derivatives -- both financial and creative -- have become so powerful and easy to create that the value pyramid is inverted. Copyright law needs to be updated too.

Yesterday at 9AM, three groups of sloshed guys in Eagles jerseys crossing the street with an open beer can. Most Sundays that's reserved for toddler o'clock. This city wakes up SO EARLY to party. Go Birds?
