Economic value and human value aren’t the same things. Thinking they are is ruining us.

I just looked up how big a mini-horse is and now my cute-meter has been pegged.

#deathOfTelephony The US FTC has imposed $208 million in fines on robocallers. It's collected $6,790

Paywalled WSJ story, the HN discussion includes most of the deets and more.

Even IF the fines had been collected, with 48 billion calls made in 2018, they would amount to only another $0.005 per call in additional expenses to the spammers.

This approach Is Not Working.

What if the constant rise and fall of chat applications, web sites, forums, wikis, content management systems, social media sites from Google+ to Facebook to MySpace, Twitter and Mastodon – what if this constant churn was something the people in power actually liked? It disrupts our social ties, makes us start again from scratch, distracts us from organizing out there under the blue sky. Account migration, nomadic identities, federation: these are very important pieces to break the cycle.
