    • She describes her work as opposing "highly controlled mechanistic systems that only create robotic behaviors."

    • i like how you think about that. a lot of grungey normative code dicates and messy algorithms could get good help on hackernews etc to have some genuine programmatic thinking (and unit tests pllzz!) to shoulder its threads forming cognitive bias. .

    • As a cryptography and computer security expert, I have never understood the current fuss about the open source software movement. In the cryptography world, we consider open source necessary for good security; we have for decades. Public security is always more secure than proprietary security. It's true for cryptographic algorithms, security protocols, and security source code. For us, open source isn't just a business model; it's smart engineering practice.

    • “The perceived thoughtfulness of the fully anthropomorphic vehicle mitigated the responsibility that comes from independent agency. This shows a clear relationship between anthropomorphism and perceptions of responsibility.”
    • Seriously on some level of informtion security, if people need to talk about real life it can be pretty powerful information if we do not forget so seriously.

      Computer give us information aged weller, posts people trust with their very real life, because of that fact information-life-and-death is no longer our primary fight for humanity, if infopsychotech functions that we truly can not forget alll our friends.

      Our real diasporas may have real life informed people who can respond to all our lives equally intact, if with infotech promises we can relate, can be a humanizing force if humanity can no longer delete our life facts.

      • That said, we still have the original hard drives with old blogs on them and are looking into plugging them in and generating new archives for older blogs like yours.

         

        Let us know if you're interested! 

          
         
    • john,

       

      I am so so so so truly grateful you thought to keep, preserve, and protect hard drives. Sometimes big sites procedurally forget we loyal users care(d) what we saved and want a copy, if before it dies. It matters.

       

      We really care about what we said. If why we like Xanga includes because you care to show what we say, we do care about what we say and we do care about you.

       

      Please do not force people to pay with content-death for writing together here and getting older, because I feel positive people will gladly help you pay for it (monetarily and with organic valuable words), if you continue to ask, express, and advertise your interest in support for preserving your community.

       

      (People might like to find more about you. i found your old xanga and CrunchBase. i tried linkedin and twitter, & i am sure i am not alone in looking for more about you, and if so maybe more of us could connect to help and grow support?)

       

      If real and human costs are too great, please think about archiveteam & archive.org et al.

       

      Please help make sure we can still remember our xanga in our lives. :)

       

      grateful,
       gabriell con(tech)text(e

       

      p.s. i like kmgeekintraining grew up to use your Xanga, for me some important if not honest feelings. So if as we remember it again, i wish we could show some pride and (data) integrity, and connect it with our lifeblogs, if not link it with our lives now.

    • During the development of Windows 3.0, it was customary to have regular meetings with Bill Gates to brief him on the status of the project. At one of the reviews, the topic was performance, and Bill complained, "You guys are spending all this time with your segment tuning tinkering. I could teach a twelve-year-old to segment-tune. I want to see some real optimization, not this segment tuning nonsense. I wrote  FAT on an airplane, for heaven's sake." 

       

       (I can't believe I had to write this: This is a dramatization, not a courtroom transcript.) 

       

       This "I wrote FAT on an airplane" line was apparently one Bill used when he wanted to complain that what other people was doing wasn't Real Programming. But this time, the development manager decided she'd had enough. 

       

       "Fine, Bill. We'll set you up with a machine fully enlisted in the Windows source code, and you can help us out with some of your programming magic, why don't you." 

       

       This shut him up.

    • names are central to our identities, virtually by definition.
    • I have never seen a computer system which handles names properly and doubt one exists, anywhere.
