It shows they're not just good at regulatory capture.

I drove down to Sydney today. Instantly felt cramped as I turned off the freeway. Spent too much time trying to find a park.

On the upside there are cafes open after 1pm, and I’m seeing live music tonight. It can’t be all bad.

Inspired by today's edition of @sizzle, I took a moment to reflect on how huge Skype was in my life.

In 2007 when I first struck out and traveled solo, Skype became a lifeline home. So long as I could find some level of internet I could talk for limited cost. In 2008 I managed to get my GPRS enabled phone to tether to my Mac and got cheap calling to the world working.

Now days almost every messaging app has video/voice capabilities, but that wasn't true back then. Skype was a huge leap forward in communication that wasn't prohibitively expensive.

My Skype account is now long-forgotten, but its legacy lives on.

The same playbook seems to be playing out over and over again:

"Fake News" describes a misinformation campaign largely from right wing agitators, then becomes the cry of the right.

"Woke", from “stay woke" is first a rallying cry to stay aware of injustice and strive for something better. Now the right use it to describe anything they don't like.

DEI was a movement which was about ensuring that the systems, products, and structures which affect us work for everyone. Now it's just a throwaway word to mean "not focused on the dominant group”.

What's next?

Ontologies and semantics might be useful in some cases but to a layperson dredging through this is an exercise in confusion. Like why do we need to model this:

"An entity is anything that exists or has existed or will exist.”

Yup. Good stuff.
