Yay, first shot of Auto Encrypt¹ running a HTTPS web server at a Web Number (IP address).

Next step: find out why some of the tests are failing on the Linux box, fix, and implement Web Numbers support in Kitten² and Catalyst³.

Our brains are shrinking

A meme image of caricatures of two people speaking to one another. The first one is saying “They brainrotted you.” the other, smaller Person is responding “really?”

The larger person has the following numbers written on them:

Number 15, 21, 360, 666, 420, 1738, 69, 80085, 1337, 87, E, 34

The smaller person has simply the number 67 written on them.

The caricature is making fun of millenials (the older generation) belittling generation alpha (the currently youngest generation) for believing t…

Federal data belatedly released Tuesday shows that the
US unemployment rate
rose to the highest level in four years last month
as Donald Trump’s administration continues its assault on the government’s workforce
and American corporations lay off workers at a level not seen in decades.
The unemployment rate rose to 4.6% in November,
up from 4.4% in September,
according to the Labor Department report, whose release was delayed due to the recent governme…

I know everyone’s already dragging the living shit out of this already but 🤷🏻‍♀️:
All ICE/BP should have:
Clearly marked vehicles
Clearly marked names on uniforms (large TEXT for both)
ID/badges
Dismissal and/or prosecution for failing to comply.
QR codes are just unneeded “tech” complication
The current regime talks a lot of shit about ID being required to vote, but is fine with armed agents of the govt having less ID than a teen trying (and failing) to…

I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer's name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

Maybe this question has been asked before and maybe it hasn't - but to preface - I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV. I have (in a previous, gainfully employed life that I find I am missing less and less outside of the recurring paycheck) liaised with a good number of legal folks - both corporate and external counsel facing types.
And I had been involved - at least in the periphery - of some investigations of allegations of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) on a corporate lapto…

Aerial view flying eastward into a frozen #Minneapolis, #Minnesota. Lake Minnetonka with its many bays, plus other lakes and the western suburbs.

A flat, snow covered suburban landscape (towns, roads) with a number of ice covered lakes. One of them is elongated, with many bays, and is so large it doesn't fit in the photo frame.

#TIL about Benford's law where for some data sets of numbers, the first digit is usually 1 and rarely 9 (with descending probability in between). It's especially common in data sets following the power law (which is common in nature).
Seems a useful consideration when generating random numbers shown directly to players (like a multiple choice) -- even if they're unfamiliar, …

Two distribution curves with descriptions.

Left: A broad probability distribution of the log of a variable, shown on a log scale. Benford's law can be seen in the larger area covered by red (first digit one) compared to blue (first digit 8) shading.
	
Right: A narrow probability distribution of the log of a variable, shown on a log scale. Benford's law is not followed, because the narrow distribution does not meet the criteria for Benford's law.

Those who follow me may be feeling overwhelmed by the number of appeals for help from people in #Gaza that I'm reposting.
I am sorry; I feel overwhelmed myself. I cannot help most of these people. My resources are very limited. I can't tell you whether one person's need is more urgent than another's.
But this need is real and desperate. Bombs are still falling; aid is sti…

I grew up on a family farm, worked my way through college in Chico, and built my life here as a teacher and nonprofit leader. I know this place, and I know Washington is failing us. 
That’s why I got into this race even before we were certain what the maps would look like; in the face of uncertainty, I’m cert…
