  When is this country going to stop the monopoly of the internet giants who control the access & content of emails. Google shut down my access, refused payment, yahoo denied access, now AOL denied access. Google, Blackrock, Microsoft, ramped up their efforts to control us.

  This pro-PRC model industry group from Silicon Valley is interesting but I think not thinking long-term. Why can’t the frontier labs do something like AOL did with its Greenhouse project and say OK, I will let you distill but we want equity in your company and/or a fee. AOL got equity for promotion/placement on the screen. (we committed 30+ million at MarketWatch, helped traffic and the ipo a lot, but worst company I have ever negotiated with). Anyway, apologies for the digression, but why couldn’t this be similar but for distillation access, and the labs like Anthropic and OpenAI could end up with a really interesting portfolio of companies, some of which might become quite valuable, and those smaller firms’ VCs could also benefit? Otherwise, does it really make sense for a huge swathe of the American technology industry to end up dependent on PRC models? Haven’t we learned any lessons from other industries where PRC firms have been able to come in at a very low cost with good products and effectively create dependencies that crowd at all other competitors? And now we are talking about the most transformative industry in many years, and it could be even worse if it’s built in part through some problematic practices in terms of distillation attacks and export control violations, if some of US government’s and frontier labs’ claims are true?

  @ClayTravis I was 14 when the strike it and a die hard Yankees fan, I was devastated- I did come back in 1995. I watch baseball every single day, and bet on it. Not parlays, never a parlay or prop bet - real actual old school bets, my minimum bet is $1200. Sometimes a lot more. I bet $9000 on the Mets earlier tonight because I liked them a lot. So I bet heavy and regularly. I'm down about $20K this baseball seaod but that's besides the point and a long way to go. In terms of the game - baseball has a major flaw that's like a cancer. Strikeouts. NL struck out 15 times in the all star game. The pitchers are collectively better than ever, and the hitters are no longer embarrassed to strike out. That's a deadly combination. Players like Luis Arraez, who hits .330, hardly ever strikes out, and gets key hits are not valued. Arraez could barely muster up a 1 year deal. These baseball executives aren't the sharpest. Back to the main point - if baseball goes on a long hiatus, which I think they will - if you ask me the under/over is May 2028. Because once 2027 is lost, they aren't going to play chicken again until 2028. So around May 2028 is when I suspect they would cobble together a deal. If they do what I suspect the sport will never ever be the same. It will be completely decimated. Revenue will be slashed. It will make 1994 look like a party. In 1994 there was nothing to even do, we didn't even have dial up AOL yet in house. Now there are endless options and endless entertainment. There are influencers (whatever you want to call them) that we never even heard of who are talented and get tens of millions of views- and the kids love them. Throw in the shorts that warped all the kids attention span, and everything else on social media sites - there is endless amounts of entertainment and competition for a buck. MLB is clearly delusional if they think are going to go on an 18 month hiatus and thing they are going to make $12-$13 billion in revenue again. They will not. And to be super frank - the game is pretty boring when compared to college football, NFL, or even the NBA (hate to admit it), if I didn't bet on this **** I wouldn't even watch it. MLB will completely destroy itself if there is a hiatus to the degree that they can't begin to understand. It would be like a nuclear bomb dropped on the sport, clearly they are all too dumb (owners and players ) to realize. I can't see any way there isn't a work stoppage. Going to be MLB Armageddon.

  @JimmyNoSense @_The_Prophet__ If you really do believe that significant portions of the world's population are w/o internet access, then, my internet friend, I can't help you other than wishing you have fun with your newly found AOL CD

  Since I have been casting aspersions on "Agile as Practiced in Nearly Every Project with a Certified Scrum Master", I should tell you about some projects I was on that worked. One on the most interesting ones was during my Network Management product development phase. I was hired by ARINC to work on software for the Iridium project. Shortly thereafter, one of the directors came up with an idea for a commercial product. He wanted a no code drag and drop UI to create a GUI to show and control SNMP values. We went to two Networld-Interop shows a year, one in Las Vegas and one in Atlanta. He wanted a new minor release for each trade show. The product owner would give the dev team a list of prioritized features. The five developers would meet and decide what we could do by the next release and worked in order of priority. That's it. Simple and effective. The code was written in C/C++ and was written to run on Windows, SunOS, HP-UX, and AIX. We used a OSS GUI library called InterViews. It integrated with HP OpenView and IBM NetView. From a business perspective, the project was a failure. We made sales, but not enough. Eventually the project was terminated an we were all laid off. That is when I was hire by AOL, but that is another story.

  @ColonelFalcon Back in the day, people thought AOL was too big to fail. Then they did, and very quickly. Their massive campus complex was leveled to build a data center that serviced the many startups that sprang up around them in Silicon Valley. Sony is not too big to fail either.

  @CZOctober25 @SarahSevans2000 I never had a waterbed or AOL either but the rest of them I had or used at one point. My first Internet was dial up and it drove people crazy. Because I had only one phone line and people would try to call me on the phone and the line was always busy because I was on the Internet
