fighting the lack of good ideas

fixing copyrights

February 29th, 2012

ars technica has a great article on some short-term, easy-to-implement fixes to the current copyright fiasco in the United States.

I have a bevy of thoughts on this myself, but not quite enough time today to write them down.

The Swiss Dental Guidelines state that such minor cavities do not require fillings; rather, the dentist should monitor the decay and encourage the patient to brush regularly, which […]

  In other #medical contexts, such as a visit to a general practitioner or a #cardiologist, we are fairly accustomed to seeking a #secondopinion before agreeing to #surgery or an expensive regimen of pills with harsh #sideeffects. But in the #dentist’s office—perhaps because we both dread dental procedures and belittle their medical significance—the impulse is to […]

  Last week people suddenly realized that, with the EU Parliamentary elections coming up next month, and France's new anti-fake news political advertisements law, that Twitter would be blocking the French government's own "get out the vote" advertising campaignhttps://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190409/11262641961/be-careful-what-you-wish-twitter-temporarily-bans-get-out-vote-ads-to-comply-with-fake-news-law.shtml

  If I fill in a hole in the ground, have I destroyed it? If I dig again in the same place, am I creating a new hole or restoring the old one?https://www.futilitycloset.com/2019/04/10/unto-the-breach-2

- Fuzzy Wuzzy (anonymous)
  Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he?
- One bright morning in the middle of the night (various)
  One bright morning in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, Drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise and ran to save the two dead boys. If you don’t believe this lie is true ask the blind […]
- it’s all politics
  Many years ago, one of my colleagues told me, “if there’s more than two people in the room, there’s politics”. He’s the same guy who told me to never go into a meeting without a prop (his favorite was a cup of coffee (and sometimes a notebook & pen)). I think Jim was wrong. There’s […]

- Seattle is a surprisingly hilly city
  Maybe I should have expected this. But Seattle is hilly. Surprisingly so. For something so close to the coast, I wouldn’t have expected so many hills. Apparently I need topographical overlays turned on for my GPS apps.
