One of the most interesting concepts in the Old Testament is the system reboot. Ctrl-alt-del. Otherwise known as Jubilee.

We may need a mechanism like this in our omniscient, Argus like digital world, lest it be too oppressive. Something akin to reshuffling the pack and cutting the deck. Perhaps forgiveness performs a rational function that moderns have yet to discover.
In Christianity this mechanism takes the form of a buy back. Sin is not extinguished but paid off by Christ but lifted all the same. The physical world seems to have mechanisms for hiding old information and there may be a purpose to why the past dims out for the living.
I'm not sure we can live in a world without forgetfulness, privacy and forgiveness. Some things have to go out of scope for the program to continue.

This is a pretty big provocation. The Global Hawk/Triton is major piece of machinery.
The Triton is optimized for maritime surveillance, not terrestrial imaging, so whatever the Iranians wanted hidden was probably operating at sea.
One of the things the Triton can do, in contrast to Global Hawk, is descend to lower altitudes to do a close look at who and what is on a vessel. That would make it more vulnerable than at high altitude.

The roster of the disgraced is growing so rapidly that it may be time to establish a Foreign Legion, where the dishonored can hide their shame or by sufficient suffering obtain redemption.

The missing component to the current shaming trend is the re-education camp and the process of rehabilitation. It's dollars to donuts that's what comes next.
"Rehabilitation" is not just something that happened in China a long time ago.

He'll probably never be invited to Harvard.

Once institutions, like universities, declare a moral standard not only the judged but the judge is bound, at least loosely, by the precedent. This will have unforeseen consequences.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

The end of another semester of engaging students with @WikiEducation at @MissouriSandT @sandtcasb in #HistSCI means another tweet thread about this super fun project.
49 students, 32 articles, 40K words added, +285K views so far. I love their work! Take a look!
I'm going to group them. First group-- #WomenInSTEM #WomeninHistory
Students found that, uh oh, it's HARD to find reliable sources on women in science! This didn't stop them, though. They pushed through and learned some new research skills.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_S._… is 1 product.
Tycho's sister, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Br… was another article that needed work. The women who worked on this one had to find all sources on Tycho then sift through for the 2-3 pages about Sophia. Thank goodness for good #librarians at S&T who were patient and helpful!

If you're angry about the recent deletion of articles by @jesswade from #Wikipedia, there is a way to help. Of course, that way is also open to you if you are not angry about those deletions: Help to edit Wikipedia. 1/n
After all, Wikipedia is "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit"! Only that it's not that simple, of course. It's easy to become enthusiastic about contributing to Wikipedia, start editing, have some really frustrating encounters with other members of the community, and 2/n
then leave because who needs that kind of aggravation when they are just trying to volunteer for something? This thread is about how to do good things on Wikipedia and avoid at least some of the frustration-inducing pitfalls. 3/n

Starting a thread on:
"SECRET AGENT 666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult" (2008)
By Richard B. Spence
feralhouse.com/secret-agent-6…

Won't quote much due to copyright issues but will reference anything interesting I find.
Here's an interview with the author Richard Spence of "Secret Agent 666":
spreaker.com/user/oppermanr…

Book has a great aesthetic quality, layout and design (not defying one of the 9 Satanic Sins!). Interestingly each chapter ends with a lists of the references instead of at the end.
The 100 Greatest Britons was a 2002 BBC TV series based on a TV poll to determine who British people at that time considered the greatest Britons in history. "One of the more controversial figures to be included on the list was occultist Aleister Crowley."

Following the SEC Chairman's comments on market manipulation in Bitcoin, let's take a step back and explore some of the major market manipulation events in recent financial history 🧐 (Thread 👇) 1/19
In 1980, the Hunt Brothers (wealthy Texan family) tried to corner the silver market. A subsequent steep fall in silver prices led to panic on commodity and futures exchanges. It's now known as the "Silver Thursday" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Th… 2/19
In 1995, Yasuo Hamanaka, the chief copper trader of the Japanese trading house Sumitomo Corporation, allegedly attempted to corner the entire world's copper market. It resulted in a $1.8 billion loss over 10 years en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumitomo_… 3/19
