It's even worse than it appears.
Here's a
podcast for the handful of people who try my software before it's public. I have a project ready for testing now, this podcast explains.
#
I've been steadily releasing new versions of the
publicFolder package over the last few days. Fixing bugs, adding stats and callbacks. The current version is v0.4.23.
#
I did finally listen to Trump's speech at the UN, in full. It was horrifying. It's like he pulled his pants down and took a shit on stage.
#
Also the
Daily podcast about the Trump speech is worth listening to. They take it all in stride, which is somewhat disturbing. But it's useful.

This
dialog pops up when I click most Medium links. I hate this dialog with a passion. It's a paywall thing. Before the paywall goes up. The word that best describes the feeling is
bilious, which btw is a great word. ;-)

The thing about silos is they do things to your reader they don't do to you so you don't know they're doing it. And they know you don't know.

Brendan Greely: "I was a healthy person subsidizing sick people until both of my sons spent a week in the pediatric ICU together." This is the drum I keep beating. Health care is
socialist. When Repubs complain that we're socializing medicine, they're wrong. It's not up to us to socialize it. It is socialist.

We thought we were bringing our system of govt to Russia, but it turns out they were bringing theirs to us. The net provided the means.
#
I'm the first to blame Facebook when they're at fault. But this is not their fault. Our naïveté about the net got us and continues to get us.
#
I was chatting with a friend who reads this blog, and explained that sometimes when I'm critical of a big tech company, it's not just me speaking, sometimes I'm echoing ideas I've heard from people inside the company. People who aren't being listened to. I guess in that way I'm acting something like a reporter with a
source who is on background.

Jay Rosen has been is considering cross-posting to Medium. On Twitter he
asked if he should point to the Medium versions of his post or the
blog version. I thought I'd answer on my
blog. It wouldn't make much difference to me. I read his blog through his feed, and I dislike going to Medium, because of the interstitial dialog that pops up before I can read a piece. So I guess it would annoy me to see a Medium link to Jay's posts, but I'd get over it.
#
BTW, I tried an experiment, different from Jay's, cross-posting from my blog to both Facebook and Medium. I
ended the experiment about a year ago.
