"The fundamental problem is that most layers in the software stack are highly concentrated, starting with the three operating systems. Network effects and economies of scale apply at every layer. Remember "no-one ever gets fired for buying IBM"? At the Ethereum layer, it is "no-one ever gets fired using Geth" because, if there was ever a big problem with Geth, the blame would be so widely shared." #DavidRosenthal #DSHR on how "Decentralized Systems Aren't" https://blog.dshr.org/2024/04/decentralized-systems-arent.html

“nobody can be trusted with absolute power, least of all the demagogues who seek it. The one good thing Trump’s trade policies are achieving is to demonstrate this yet again. They are harbingers of chaos. The world’s challenge is to survive the folly. The US’s is to end it.” #MartinWolf https://www.ft.com/content/a3e6174c-25e9-4428-9109-16e37319e9e2

"Rufo cares about the actual values that sustain a liberal vision of freedom and justice in same way that Israeli war-cabinet minister who calls for 'voluntary resettlement of Palestinians in Gaza, for humanitarian reasons' actually cares about humanitarianism." #RickPerlstein https://prospect.org/politics/2024-01-10-first-they-came-for-harvard/

"[T]he Republican Party and its associated institutions of movement conservatism, at least since George and Jeb Bush stole the 2000 election in Florida, has been ratcheting remorselessly toward an understanding of the accumulation of political power, to which they believe themselves ineluctably entitled as the only truly legitimate Americans, as a question of will—up to and including the projection of will by the force of arms." #RickPerlstein https://americanprospect.bluelena.io/index.php?action=social&chash=f83630579d055dc5843ae693e7cdafe0.2515&s=ce07d2b5feef04b26a83a61bce292370

“As Milanovic dismissively concludes, neoclassical models of distribution related ‘to life on Earth about as much as the theories that astrobiologists have developed about life on Mars.’” @storracinta reviews #BrankoMilanovic https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/inequality-without-class/

“The international ideological aspects of the decisions taken by the US and the European Union are seldom taken into account by the domestic decision-makers because the thinking about the rest of the world and development does not loom large for the politicians who deal with China, Russia, national security and the like. But the ideological development problem will not go away.” #BrankoMilanovic https://branko2f7.substack.com/p/the-third-framing

“[T]oo much attention in the 1950s was paid to Democrats trying not to appear soft on communism, and too little attention to Republicans accepting most of the acquis of the New Deal in return for safety of private property.” #BrankoMilanovic https://glineq.blogspot.com/2024/09/the-end-of-great-order-under-heaven.html

"The conventional ugliness of communist constructions was not a defect. It was something that was desired. It was an alternative aesthetic where nothing would ever stand out. The grey leaders were beautiful—on their own terms." #BrankoMilanovic https://branko2f7.substack.com/p/on-charisma-and-greyness-under-communism

The 8pm track projects the center of the eye coming right over the Sarasota/Bradenton Airport, maybe a mile from the Center of the Universe (Palm Court, #NewCollege).
That's where we used to have our end of the world parties, when lesser storms showed up. The music still echoes, provoking ghost noise complaints from now evacuated neighbors.

Milton's forecast track is within 10 miles of #NewCollege of Florida.
By far the most wonderful place I ever lived, for the past two years vandals like Ron DeSantis and Chris Rufo have been dismantling the college at an institutional level.
Maybe the algorithm doesn't like what they've done. Maybe it's helping them finish the job. Mysterious ways.
