Society is way behind in adapting its rules to this new liquid culture. It makes everything precarious for everyone. Sam Bankman-Fried went from the Forbes 400 to a jail cell in a few weeks. I don’t think he has yet to get his head around how destroyed his life is. (Have a suicide watch ready when he figures it out.) There are a few industries that still resist this facet of Moore’s Law. Education is one. Health care is another. Law is a third. We have yet to see Trump’s perp walk, and legal delays make new infrastructure almost impossible to build.

🔗 Prison Abolition Even For Elizabeth Holmes.
Clearly. I have no idea who Elizabeth Homes really is, though I do have my own biased opinions that she is a con artist, but Nathan Robinson highlights a conundrum that goes beyond her case. That said - what would be very wrong is for Holmes to be the one that breaks the mold.
Half of me already thinks that she planned this pregnancy yo use it as a ‘get out of jail’ card.

🔗 Amazon to pay $150,000 over Kindle removing 1984
One of the plaintiffs, Justin Gawronski, has a compelling story about his experience with Amazon’s memory hole. Apparently, he was reading his copy of 1984 as a summer assignment for school, and had been using one of the Kindle’s selling points—the ability to attach notes to specific parts of the e-book text—to prepare for his return to school. Since he was actively reading the work when Amazon pulled the plug, he actually got to watch the work vanish from his screen.
