I think we've all walked by a giant important point.
These nearly-all-male network state fans have such compelling ideas that women outside their immediate circles would rather Xerox "bits of their bodies" than engage with those ideas. Their outreach "embassy" attracts even fewer women every day. Possibly even an average number rounding to zero.
Right now it seems like their polities will be remembered in the same religious studies lessons that teach about the Shakers.
It's probably good to situate in time when thinking about these things. The twin towers were how a lot of companies became examples of what location redundancy really means. These days people are keeping that lesson well in mind, but back then, not so much.
Even just saying it was mescaline would help it make more sense.
People who seem impressive until you listen to their ideas are a real theme around here.
There is nobody quite as cranky as the (relatively) regular person who has to clean up after the rich person's mess.
A really good lesson on offline backups of things like issue trackers, though.
Is this stuff deliberately written to be word salad?
I haven't read the book but the article is definitely in the list.
Edit: Wait, turns out I had another article in the list. I will add this one above.
"If you've ever wondered about the Libertarian response to having one's neighbours killed by bears, it's about halfway down this article."

"This brought back memories of the crush and electrical injuries I've heard of when there's insufficient datacentre safety."

That was a bit surprising to me too, apparently no floor scale in the airlock leading to the server floor, or not even an airlock just a door. Also no security supervision, or at least one which was letting things slide.
That startup founder. Is he okay?
