put your 🙋🏻‍♂️ if you’re old enough to remember when “crypto” meant “software regulated by the us government as a mention and restricted for export” and not “scam” or “environmental self-harm” and if you’re not entirely sure you prefer the former over the matter
* Munition thanks autocorrect
the keybase.io transition from crypto to crypto is impressive tho
Anyway, yeah, t-shirts! Image

I should use this a prompt to continue, right?
You’re probably wondering how we ended up here. With the shotguns, and me and the other SREs in a chopper on the way to Prineville.
It started as a joke, right?

content design and content strategy is important because maybe there are simpler ways to get across the concept of "eligible" and what "eligibility" means i mean it's not as if the word is confusing millions of people right now
does usa today use the word "eligible"?
thinking out loud:

* "From 1 May, there will be no rules about who can and cannot get vaccinated"

1/ Favourite parts of this episode:

* I mixed English and American English spelling and honestly I don't care anymore, that's what you publish on a platform with no editors
2/ "... These people are people like Bari Weiss and Glenn Greenwald and a rationalist blogger who wishes to remain pseudonymous..."

I see we're talking about volunteer vaccination websites again, thanks to this (imho) irresponsible NYT article about "building a new [vaccination website] for $50".

Some observations and references:

nytimes.com/2021/02/09/nyr…
1/ The headline is grossly irresponsible. It says the website "cost" $50, which likely means domain registration and hosting.

But Ma developed the site "in less than two weeks", so the headline values Ma's time and effort at... $0.

Workers like Ma earn more than $0.
2/ Off the top of my head, someone with Ma's skill and experience might get charged out to government at $180+/hour.

So we're probably at $14,000+ just for billing by time.

And yes, government IT frequently costs much more than it should for what's delivered.

ABSTRACT

The “semantic web” promises a world-wide-web of machine-readable metadata that will enable efficient searching and the return of relevant information that is not possible with current search engines.
To achieve this goal, the Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a set of specifications that governs the encoding, exchange and usage of metadata.

Things that can all be true:

1) last-mile, vaccine software can be really complicated when taking into account the 50 states and 3,006 counties in the U.S.

2) procurement regulations can be biased toward incumbents who have previously done business
3) previous business with government is not in itself an indicator of previous successful outcomes nor a predictor in itself of future successful outcomes

4) $44m may actually be a reasonable development cost, all considered
5) previous specific domain experience (e.g. last-mile vaccine distribution) is not itself an indicator or predictor of future success
