Now in Salt Lake City. Being asked about Prince Harry and the Duchess leaving UK. Apparently some compare this to Edward and Wallis Simpson. Totally different cases. The issue today is a complex one known technically as "a racist onslaught by the British Press" ...
... this is further compounded by panels of the stale, male and pale trying to explain why it isn't racism. Of course it is and the British press have brought shame to the United Kingdom. They are a disgrace.
PS. I do like Salt Lake City. First time here, really friendly vibe about the place.

X : Is Kubernetes serverless?
Me : Do you remember cloud in 2007-08 with all the confusion over the term and people trying to say their product or virtual data centre was a cloud whilst some of us were saying this is simply compute as a utility?
X : Yes
Me : There's your answer.
X : I don't understand?
Me : Serverless is all about the runtime as a utility.
X : But what about ...
Me : Do you remember in 2017-18 how people finally accepted cloud was simply compute as a utility after a decade of spreading confusion?
X : Yes
Me : There's your answer.
X : I'm not sure I agree.
Me : See you in 2027-2028.
X : What does that mean?
Me : Runtime as a utility. Anything below the runtime, I don't care about. Just code and services.

X : Have you thought about building a business again?
Me : Oh, you mean get back into the fight, unleash those dogs? My purpose at the moment is to teach, to enable mapping to grow and to release people from hordes of consultants that enslave us by building an army of mappers ...
... I'm getting there, building a worldwide movement on a shoestring. It's still small but growing.
X : And after?
Me : When it has been adopted enough, when the pieces are in place then I'll refocus on Government.
X : Why Gov?
Me : It's not because I think Gov is more broken than business - it's not. However, Gov is key to long term prosperity of society - that's a purpose I believe in. It's an area that I view situational awareness to be critical for.

X : Do you know how much a global CIO at a bank makes?
Me : No idea. It's not something I look into.
X : Have a guess.
Me : Hmmm ... moderately low risk job, moderate stress, moderate tech, wealthy industry ... gosh ... about $400 - $600 k per year?
X : Try $5M
Me : (gasp)
X : You've gone silent.
Me : Well, that just doesn't make any sense at all. That seems very distorted.
X : You have to pay big bucks to ...
Me : ... get talent? That is such a lot of nonsense, usually used in reverse by people lacking any actual talent bar hoodwinking others.
X : What would you do with a $5M salary?
Me : I'd live a life of luxury and excess and still give away $4.5M in charitable donations per year. You're talking amounts of money that ... well ... our system is broken.

Wat Misaka has died at age 95. I want to tell you about him. 1/x nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame…
In 2006, I published a book about the history of the University of Missouri's basketball program. I wrote about each of the first 100 seasons, including 1944, when the Tigers played Utah in the NCAA Tournament. 2/x
Utah's best player was Arnie Ferrin. But perhaps the most indispensable was a little point guard whose parents, born in Japan, had settled in Utah. I became fascinated by the fact that a team with a Japanese-American point guard won the NCAA title at the height of WWII. 3/x

Lt. Governor @SpencerJCox, under yours and Governor Herberts watch you both have attacked the Constitutional rights of Utahns. Denying Constitutional Carry and growing the deep Administrative State in Utah and supported SB54 vs. Caucus. @marklevinshow @seanhannity @phillwright
Therfore Lt. Gov @SpencerJCox these past political records against We the Peoples core rights. DOPL and administrative folks are not voted into their positions and you and Herbert - fostered growth of unconstitutional administrative rule

@marklevinshow @seanhannity @phillwright
So, Lt. Gov @SpencerJCox, respectfully I cannot support you for Governor due to you and Herberts factual political record which is not reflecting true Constitutional values as outlined above and below.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
