IPv6 was introduced 27 years ago.

Ummmm...

The only X I really care about.

apparently twitter has a new logo that is like the X11 logo

imagine given up (whatever small) brand recognition twitter has for... X.

twitter has managed to get people to use "tweet" and "tweeting" as nouns and verbs.

"Yo dawg, just X me the deets"

If you would like to know more and explore the functional regions in the cerebellum yourself, find me at poster #2417 on Tuesday & Wednesday!

Apropos of everything, I assume Xitter is pronounced "shitter."

In 2000, Elon Musk tried to rebrand PayPal as X.com, but was forced out by the board and replaced as CEO by Peter Thiel.

Now he’s doing the same to Twitter, but is surrounded by sycophants who can’t tell him it’s a bad idea.

DUNGEONS OF EKILEUGOR is a roguelike game for the VIC-20 running in a VIC-20 emulator for DOS, running in a DOSBOX emulator in the browser.

That's a lot to take in.

Pretty bold to name your product after the icon for cancelling.

Twitter will officially rebrand as X later today, Elon Musk confirms https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/23/23804629/twitters-rebrand-to-x-may-actually-be-happening-soon #elonmusk #elon #twitter #twittermigration #x #tech #technews #technology #twitterexodus

Eliyahu Weinstein was convicted twice of defrauding investors of $230 million, but in 2021 Trump freed him from jail early after 8 years of a 24 year sentence.

He has only paid less than $1.7mil of $230 million in restitution owed to his victims.

Eli Weinstein is now charged in a new $35mil Ponzi scheme.

And it turns out that in 2003 he had business ties with Lev Parnas, who years later worked with Giuliani.

Thank god for @mmasnick because I really really really didn't want to have to write an article about why #copyright is an awful way to address the harms of #AI to creative workers and now he's done it and I can just point people to his article for the next two annoying years. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/07/19/stop-rushing-to-copyright-as-a-tool-to-solve-the-problems-of-ai/

Which is the correct plural?

how to write documents:

1. write your first draft
2. delete the parentheses
3. deal with the nested parentheses (you had them, didn't you?)
4. oops I accidentally more parentheses

Should wealthy nations in the Global North — like the US and Canada — who have benefited from decades of burning fossil fuels, be expected to pay the cost of damages from the climate crisis to poor countries in the Global South?

Anyone with a conscience probably will answer: “Yes, they should.”

But John Kerry, former US Secretary of State and now official Climate Envoy, says: "No, under no circumstances.”

See — https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66197366

What a total jerk. Although, of course, it’s not Kerry’s decision to make. He’s just following orders.

The capitalist rulers of our society have no interest in doing what’s right. All they care about is making more money — and keeping the governments they own under firm control.

Having looked at APRA's new Prudential Standard CPS 230 on Operational Risk Management, I reckon very little of it is, or at least should be, alien to APRA-regulated entities.

I appreciate the very explicit stuff about the ultimate responsibility of the Board and the very explicit stuff on BCPs.

I liked the stuff re material service providers, including the nudge for regulated entities to look upstream to fourth parties of their MSPs, the explicit mention of 'contagion risk' and BCPs (hello, cloud people!), and the geopolitical undertones in the examples of non-financial risks that regulated entities need to look out for.

There are two new breach notification deadlines:
a) ≤72 hours for operational risk incidents the entity reckons are 'likely to have a material financial impact or a material impact on the ability of the entity to maintain its critical operations' (if this is an infosec breach under CPS 234, they don't need to report that separately to APRA; deadline the same under SOCI Act s 30BD for most APRA-regulated entities); and

b) ≤24 hours for 'a disruption to a critical operation outside tolerance' (note that most APRA-regulated entities have to report 'critical cyber security incidents' to Home Affairs ≤12 hours of awareness of their having to do so under SOCI Act s 30BC).
