Remember the Navajo Code Talkers, too. Don’t let future generations forget, no matter how hard the government tries. They were heroes.

Now and then people from data science suggest to me that they should be able to do something interesting with big archaeological data. But there's a naïveté in their concept of "data". I always sigh and tell them that they have no idea how unstandardised our data are. Even if you could scan it […]

Cybersecurity is political. Period, end of story. If you could vote and didn’t bother because it was boring you’re just as responsible for loss of key research, ISAC funding, international collaboration, and federal jobs. Same if you kept using X. We warned you […]

I'm not advocating that anybody rob a bank. But if you do, wear a prosthetic hand with 7 fingers. Any jury in this country would see the surveillance footage and say, "Nah. That's A.I., bruh."

Where the hell are Biden, Harris, Obama, Clinton? Have I missed any statements or guidance from them somehow? I’ve seen nothing. And Congress. I credit some of them for many things they are doing, trying to do. Credit where due, always. But I would think more fiery language/fight instead of […]

Everything is scary and gut wrenching. Also, the sun is shining in most places. There are flowers even, occasionally, in a desert. Puppies and kittens still exist. Remember that hope and moments of joy are acts of rebellion. Sometimes singing your favorite song at the top of your lungs is […]
