The emergence of many new hypocrisies typically heralds an emerging new cultural synthesis.

Are you disturbed that you agree with one of those viewpoints? Or perhaps that other people you respect do?

Book I'm reading (1940) has a curious feature: margin notes. Each paragraph has a few words to summarize it, but also dates are given for events mentioned in the text, so it adds info too.

Was this common in old books? Why don't we do this anymore?

my friend’s 2 y/o thinks Alexa is omnipresent -- she asks it to change the song or turn off the music even when they’re out at a restaurant. and now i’m wondering if smart speakers have totally killed off imaginary friends bc why dream one up if Alexa or Siri literally talk back

@gruber Good explanation of E2E encryption in your article about Bloomberg’s little bed accident regarding WhatsApp. With the one caveat that E2E is now also possible on the web in JavaScript (and cross-platform) with an SDK like @tanker (https://t.co/tvOWOEYK24)

@gruber Just got out of stealth mode; it’s currently being implemented in several leading apps in Europe (notably healthcare and productivity), and we’re in discussion with the usual suspects in the US. Can tell you more in DM if you want.
