Yet another nice Asianometry video, this time history of DSL.

Of course his (loosely paraphrased) comment on "DSL not widely used anymore but it'll remain in the backwaters for a long time" is peak hilarious to any German.

Worth your time. Got some fun comments too.

Anyone here an expert on the claims made to advertise technologies?
I'd love to learn about the proportion of claims made about technology as time-saving claims vs enjoyable in other ways

There's a lot about whether #labor-saving #tech actually yields leisure, but I am esp interested in promises made

Binary code powers modern technology, yet its conceptual roots may trace back to the ancient I Ching. Did early philosophy unknowingly shape computing, or are we connecting patterns across time?

Absolutely genius : a brilliant experiment recreating the original experiment of Bell for the first telephone communication, based directly on Bell’s 1876 writings and using period-appropriate tools. It’s fascinating to see how the experimentation follows Bell’s own notes and reveals the progression of the scientist’s thinking step by step in his notebooks. Bravo to the @connections for this formidable initiative. Watch the video — super cool! 👌 Can’t wait for part 2 with the skin-tension system in the second device presented! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6irxbKpKzo #HistoryOfTechnology #HistoryOfScience

ZDNet: MS-BASIC 1.1 introduced programming to a generation – now you can download it for free. “For its day, MS-BASIC 1.1 was quite sophisticated. It included improved garbage collection. (When you only had 4K of RAM, you needed every byte your program could get its hands on.) It also supported FOR loop variables, which were a big improvement over BASIC’s infamous GOTO command.”
