   @mangeurdenuage @kfist There's always been a sort of cycle: first power / authority / resources are decentralized. Then people dislike the inconsistent way things are handled, so everything centralizes. Then centralized power / authority / resources attract persuasive people who seek to divert some of those resources to their own control, so rigid standards are put into place. …

   Remembering when I saw this one evening at a friend’s house. I really liked the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoF_a0-7xVQ ... I still like it today, but not in the same intense way.

   Working on this toy project and seeing exactly how I want to put it together, but as soon as a grab Rutabaga and open a text editor, my mind loses most of it. Going to have to buckle down and muscle through it.

   Telling my nephew #Papaya about seeing a Ninja Turtles movie and having this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFLGRidfFo4 in one scene. A theater full of six year olds standing on their seats yelling “Go ninja go ninja go!”
   
   This was before he was born, so he doesn’t have any history of #TMNT to know why people like it.

   I still do not know what's happening with my nieces ... two of them are supposed to graduate from uni this year. Is there going to be an online ceremony, or will they just receive a diploma in the mail?

   S is supposed to call today and let me know what the final decision was on the #Zoom doctor visit. Very glad I'm not the patient ... what do you do when the doctor's office wants to do telemedicine over Zoom, but your friend that works in IT says not to do it?

    Mark drove home to the #Los_Angeles area last weekend. He passed within 10 miles or so of where I live, stopped at #In-N-Out fifteen or twenty minutes away. I'm glad he didn't call and ask me to meet him there, because it was late.

    That's an astute observation. We have people that seem to be much older than you who have not yet thought deeply about these things. Once someone really thinks it through, it changes the person's viewpoint. Not that people will all draw the same conclusions (they will not), but when I see so many people spouting similar positions on such issues, I cannot help but feel that the…

    I thought you were replying to http://status.hackerposse.com/url/20867 ... my son is doing tutorials based on some variety of #Ubuntu. My co-worker #S is trying to help someone decide whether to allow the doctor to videochat (via a system called "Zoom") instead of a face to face visit. It seems odd that they could use #Zoom unless they are HIPPA certified. With all the security…

    Rutabaga, the little laptop with Lubuntu 18.04 LTS on it, will have to have 20.04 LTS installed fresh. According to Lubuntu.me, there have been enough changes over the past two years that a b0rken system would be the result if I upgraded directly. (Going to tell #sonTwo as well, as he installed the same on his wife's old machine.)

    I’ve been seeing the “Apple switching its Macs to use own ARM-based chips” story for a while. For example, here’s a 2018 article: https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-mac-computers-may-use-its-own-chips-replacing-intel-in-2020/ [www cnet com]

    S just posed a question:
    
    Someone's doc wants to do a #telemedicine visit over Zoom, including viewing of personal bodyparts. She was asked whether the person should go ahead with it.
    
    My original answer was "If that's the only way to have the appointment, they should do so".
    
    But then S asked me, "if it was you, would you do it?
    
    I would first check to see what other options were available before making the decision.

    I hear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Bf_fBLvmQU and I wonder if Frank and Cindy ever got together. Frank was a neighbor and Cindy was the girl at school he talked about all the time. (He went to a different school because his parents wanted him to be around more Chinese [PRC and RoC] students than there were attending the local school.)

    "Big data" and visualizations make everything look simple, but #COVID-19, like everything else in the real world, is messy. OP argues that the data is noisy, contradictory, and incomplete ... and that it will be years before we can reliably draw any conclusions from it.

    I don't allow any cats to enter my bedroom, so why did I vacuum up a fistfull of cat hair? I know Jason has been trying to figure out doorknobs for years, but last I knew, he still had not acquired that skill.
