  4. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    When I see someone who looks fairly desperate, I would rather give money, on the chance of sometimes giving unwisely, than to withhold it from some one person who might need a helping hand and who deserves it.

  10. Good thing Iran's military was weak.

    "Iran has reportedly caused billions of dollars in damage to U.S. military assets and bases in the Gulf region, sparking questions about the Trump administration’s transparency regarding potential costs for repairs.

    The destruction spans across several countries in the Middle East and could cost up to $5 billion to repair."

    All. Of.This.

    A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where nonconformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose. -Learned Hand, jurist (27 Jan 1872-1961)

    Far too many have resigned themselves that well I guess it's just going to be this way.
    All while those in power attempt to #divide the American people, attempt to make us #distrust each other, to turn on each other..."

  17. The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action.

  18. #MayorLurie - Do you realize you're building #distrust when you support this sort of decision making? This is not good governance.

    It may be that the selection criteria staff came up with were incorrect. In that case, revising the decision criteria, clearly identifying what needed to be revised, and why, makes sense. Overruling the criteria that were approved for use? Nope. Or did your senior staff person fail to review the criteria to begin with? Equally Nope

    Overruling a recommendation based on the official selection criteria just because one person (or was it 2?) disagrees with the result is #BadGovernance and #BreaksTrust with the people.

  19. Regarding #Github, #Microsoft, and "AI"...

    There was a lot of unease when Microsoft, famous for hating open-source / free software for so long, bought Github. The worry was Microsoft would return to their anti-competitive ways and use Github as a cudgel against its perceived ~~enemies~~ competitors. But no, they declared, Github would forever remain independent of Microsoft, running for the benefit of the world. There was no reason to #distrust them.

    Then, of course, recently they memory-holed those promises, and said Github would no longer be #independent. Instead, it would operate as part of Microsoft - specifically as part of their #AI unit.

    Why AI? Well, to use Github's mountain of code and user data to train their #LLM, of course. The LLMs that are #copyright violations at mass scale, and that despite any PR claims really are intended to allow customers to replace expensive, #knowledgeable #software #engineers with their #plagiarism machine.

    In response, many have closed or stated their intention to close their Github accounts.

    To that, I say: don't. Closing it sends a brief message, and nothing else.

    Instead, keep your #account and #repositories. Create new ones. Not for your real use - check in your buggy, non-working #code. Check in #broken code generated by their (or other) LLM. Pollute the #training #data. Merge idiotic unrelated PRs. Check in stuff that doesn't build, doesn't run.

    Throw those #sabots in the machine. Make it serve a purpose.

  20. While it is impossible to know for sure how deeply this #distrust has set in among #judges across the country, a number of judges in recent weeks have openly questioned the fundamental honesty & credibility of #DOJ #lawyers in ways that would have been unthinkable only months ago.

  21. A quotation from Euripides

    MESSENGER: Nothing is more useful to mankind than a prudent distrust.
     
    [ἌΓΓΕΛΟΣ:                    σώφρονος δ᾽ ἀπιστίας
       οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν χρησιμώτερον βροτοῖς.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 1617ff (412 BC) [tr. Coleridge (1891)]

  22. From The Atlantic, in “The Erasing of American Science”:

    “Both by trying to control #science and by #funding less of it, the Tr*mp administration is starting a slide toward a future where more, rather than fewer, people have reason to #distrust science and its results.” tinyurl.com/5xhddekk

  23. Nobel prize for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity
    500 years of European colonialism, extractivism and the resource curse

    "Among countries colonized by European powers during the past 500 years, those that were relatively rich in 1500 are now relatively poor. We document this reversal using data on urbanization patterns and population density, which, we argue, proxy for economic prosperity. This reversal weighs against a view that links economic development to geographic factors. Instead, we argue that the reversal reflects changes in the institutions resulting from European colonialism. The European intervention appears to have created an “institutional reversal” among these societies, meaning that Europeans were more likely to introduce institutions encouraging investment in regions that were previously poor. This institutional reversal accounts for the reversal in relative incomes. We provide further support for this view by documenting that the reversal in relative incomes took place during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and resulted from societies with good institutions taking advantage of the opportunity to industrialize."

  24. Matthew Carey's book #Mistrust: An Ethnographic #Theory is, like lots of #anthropology, refreshing and mind-expanding. His focus is on the High Atlas mountains of #Morocco. There's interesting discussions of lying, tolerance, conspiracy, etc. He even touches upon #anarchism, although in a somewhat superficial fashion. And I personally prefer "mistrust" to refer to "mistaken trust" as opposed to just a synonym for #distrust. But, it's still provocative and worth the time. #HAUBooks
