We are fortunate to be living in the golden age of mankind!

It's the era of American-led  international institutions,
which have prevented world war for an unusually long time.
Trump has done his utmost to undermine that regime, perhaps
thinking, like Lindbergh, that the oceans protect us.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/05/nuclear-bombs-are-hideous-guard-dogs-that-have-kept-peace-we-must-learn-live-with-them

As bad as nuclear weapons are, previous wars were worse in
many ways, and the future probably holds cheap indefensible
weapons of mass destruction available to everybody.

 https://getpocket.com/explore/item/omniviolence-is-coming-and-the-world-isn-t-ready

World War II was probably the last big war that somebody
won.      Future global conflicts might be more like World
War I, which grind on until all sides are exhausted, and
then resume after a few years.      Thus we might think we
defeated al-Qaeda and ISIS but the underlying resentment is
still there and will be back in another form soon enough,
with more bang for the buck.

Can we avoid proving Fermi's Paradox?

Omniviolence and the end of civilization

Is is that easy to hack Twitter?

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/07/15/musk-gates-twitter-hack/

Can ordinary cyber-criminals do this or does it require
state actors?       Or was it an inside job?

Macs to get homebrew

Apple PC's have had 6502, 68k, PPC, x86 - and soon Arm ISA
with Apple in-house implementation.        The build-vs-buy
decision has finally come out to "build" though
not yet to "design your own ISA."      Apple
already implements their own Arm chips for phones and pads.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/19/technology/apple-intel-breakup.html

What's that got to do with politics?      You can get bet
there was plenty of internal politics around this decision.

But Apple is also involved in the larger political scene -

 https://apnews.com/f7b0b710e4054720e2511aa4fb3108b4

Turning fly-over country back into return-home country

The virus may be far more effective than any government
program.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/20/let-coronavirus-break-up-super-zips/

But let the current flyover residents be warned -
attracting significant numbers of highly educated and
highly compensated  people will change your way of life.
Their politics might not be what you hoped.

Let's handle the next cyber attack better than we're
handling the current virus attack.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/17/now-is-perfect-time-cyberattack-heres-how-stop-one/

At least current events are a good model of how not to
do it.   Unfortunately, recent history suggests that
unpreparedness is the inevitable result of Congressional
stalemate and executive indifference.

Concentrations of power inherently lead to trouble.

Even with the best intentions - ESPECIALLY with the best
intentions - because power eventually gets to somebody
whose best intention was just to get the power.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/01/opinion/tech-companies-coronavirus.html

The Founders knew this about government.     Theodore
Roosevelt knew this about corporate monopolies.

COBOL programmers rejoice!

Forget about agile programming in modern interpretive
languages.       The action is in maintaining old programs.
People who can patch and update old COBOL mainframe
programs can work when and where they want.

Government agencies can't afford to re-architect and
re-implement their old systems, because the Republicans
have been starving the beast for decades, then expecting
the government to be agile on a moment's notice after its
starvation diet.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/17/stimulus-unemployment-checks-delays-government-delays/

Anybody for RPG?

Where does your data go?

 https://apnews.com/94e1ef3133927a5e6b00df47ad2426ee

And where did it come from?

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/02/18/ring-nest-surveillance-doorbell-camera/

But is all this technology actually any good at anything
other than revealing all our data to whoever wants it
badly enough?

Of course it's completely tested and foolproof!

It's not being run by the Iowa Democratic Party, but by
people thoroughly tested for loyalty to Trump!

 https://apnews.com/a62a81eaac97c58fb0c2f689f014076e

If there are any problems, they will get worked out in
plenty of time for the 2030 census.

What happens next?

 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/07/business/clearview-facial-recognition-child-sexual-abuse.html

The one thing that's certain is that massive databases
will eventually be used for purposes different from those
they mention in press releases.        They are just giant
assets waiting to be monetized, voluntarily by new owners,
perhaps, or involuntarily by surreptitious agents.

Why are modern electronics so hard to use?

 https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/02/14/smartphones-ought-not-to-be-required-to-operate-devices-or-use-service/

It's mostly cost reduction.      Every physical switch
adds manufacturing cost but, at present, does not add
to perceived value that can be sold.      Maybe that
perception will change in the future.

Likewise with cars.     Once video screens were required
to support backup cameras, significant manufacturing
costs could be avoided by putting virtual buttons on
a screen instead of physical buttons or dials on the
dash.       This means that whereas one could easily
control temperature, fan, and radio stations by touch on
old cars without taking your eyes off the road and without
thinking much about it, now one has to look away from the
road and at the screen to do the same thing on modern cars.

Keeping track of other people's secrets

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/national-security/cia-crypto-encryption-machines-espionage/

Barr wants the same kinds of government backdoors on all
encryption products.        But if our government can get
in, so can anybody else, sooner or later.

If you collect it, somebody will buy it or steal it.

The only solution is to not collect it.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/10/opinion/equifax-breach-china-hacking.html

 https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/11/tech/israel-voters-data-exposed-intl/index.html

This does mean putting a lot of data collectors out
of business.     Good riddance!    Nobody from Equifax
is going to jail or even losing their job, so why should
anybody else change their habits?
