Someone said "you're an anarchist" (almost certainly in the colloquial sense) to me the other day, and I said, "yeah".

"To equate dissent with subversion, as intelligence officials do, is to deny that the demand for change is based on real social, economic, or political conditions. A familiar example of this is the almost paranoid obsession with the 'agitator.'"

OH OH THEYRE TALKING ABOUT ME /s

If you're not vastly reducing meat (especially beef and pork) and dairy to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions, then you're deliberately harming people now and into the far future.

It's amazing to see managers bully staff on a WhatsApp group. Don't they realise it's recorded and available for everyone to see? More likely: they don't think they're bullying anyone at all.

Fire was the first magic. Humans accessed an unbounded force separate from themselves, not dependent on personal strength. With a flint or a fire stick a determined woman could burn a forest in a few hours.

Access to powers unavailable to those without knowledge arcane. Leapfrogging humanity from the middle of the food chain to the top.

With all the problems that magic brings. Sudden power without millions of years of evolved responsibility in wielding that power.

Getting a free coffee for a load of old donated children's books because the coffee shop are building up a community library.
How nice.

It looks like there are a few jobs in machine learning. Mostly in London and probably doing financial stuff like high speed trading.

With the possible exception of medical a lot of the current machine learning business applications seem fundamentally sketchy. Whether it's spying on people, predictive policing them, signal strikes or tricking people with financial schemes.

People (and myself, formerly) often say they don't want to try Linux because it is difficult but honestly with Windows and Mac a lot of stuff doesn't work out of the box. All operating systems have their idiosyncracies and confusing elements, so why not just go with a free OS? There is a lot of inertia from sheer force of habit which is why we need Linux in elementary school computer labs and public libraries, yo

On geomonitoring. If you're carrying a baseband receiver connected to a battery then your position is logged every few seconds and the data stored by telcos. This isn't a new situation, it's been going on for at least a decade (probably longer). The resolution from triangulation especially in urban areas is good enough to tell who is sleeping with who.

This is why there's often advice to leave mobile phones at home if you attend a protest. Even if you use a burner phone the geolocation connects one phone to another within the tracking software.

So nobody in 2018 should really be surprised by this. By now the tracking systems will be in a highly advanced stage of development, probably using AI and unsupervised learning to make inferences and guess future movements based on historical patterns.

The best thing I've read all day: the saga of Sheffield's tree massacre. Involves mass civil disobedience, a secret multi-billion dollar contract, and more. (via @iona)

"I’m pretty neutral but, really, maybe leave our trees alone?"
