    Social media is standing up on a podium in a crowded street, shouting through a bullhorn. Now you’re asking about comming back the next day to tell everyone what you said yesterday is a secret. Do you see how that seems strange?

    Privacy lost, can NEVER be regained. When you make something public, that’s it. It’s public now.

    Never post anything to any social media that you might want to keep private. It doesn’t matter who owns it, or how it’s licensed, if it’s online unencrypted, it’s public; Now and evermore.


  • It’s not “damage”
    At best it’s “potentially missed revenue”

    But by calling it dammage, it sounds inherently like a crime that needs to be prevented. As if someone broke an accountants favorite pen or calculator. They’ll have to spend additional money to replace the damaged item, actually costing them something. That helps them get law makers and enforcement on their side.

    But potentially missed revenue sounds very different. That sounds like they have some marketing research to do, in trying to sell their product. Which is difficult to get sympathy for.

    No wonder they chose the word “damage”. And the news media goes with it, because they have a similar interest. Their also trying to make money selling raw intellectual property.



  • Meditation is all about the trying. “Sucess” is in the attempt itself.

    When your mind wanders, don’t worry that it wandered. It inevitable will. You can’t really stop that. What you can do is notice when it’s happening. Then pay attention to the wandering. Why did that thought pop up? Now that I noticed it where does it go. It’s like watching what the bus driver does instead of just letting the scenery absorb your attention as it passes by. Or it’s like thinking about how a movie was made instead of letting yourself get swept up in the narrative.

    Don’t stress meditation. Half the point is to just chill.
