Ladislav Mecir, the Czech Bitcoin guy, blogged about....

Re: The Wikipediocracy dead pool
I'm giving them another year, tops. They never updated their blog after December, they lost Hex, and Billy Burns uses his lack of height to comfortably peep through keyholes on the front doors of older houses in North Park, Kensington, La Jolla, and on Coronado Island when he isn't selling tourists ...

Re: A pyrrhus victory
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-44712475 Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales told the BBC he hoped that the music industry could find a way to compromise before the September debate. "Don't think about filtering everything everyone uploads to the internet. That's a pipe dream but you are ne...

Re: WMF worries about "intermediary liability"
Serbia was a wreck after the Yugoslav wars, all of the combatant states are still putting themselves back together in the countryside where all the burned out farms and smashed-up villages are. So the internet is issue number 999 out of 1000.

Re: WMF worries about "intermediary liability"
What aboot Canada, eh? Since Australia now has an official list of "condemned URLs", Canada or some little-considered country with really lax laws might be their only chance. Since Canada doesn't have a real "First Amendment", there will be problems anyway. m Being serious, the ...

Re: WMF worries about "intermediary liability"
Meanwhile in California, Section 230 is still an effective shield. I'm curious if the appeal (which I assume goes to the federal courts now) will eventually move up to the U.S. Supreme Court?

Re: (Pointless) Russian Elections: Putin won by 74%!
Responses: Ah, yes, well, apparently academics are still arguing about how many people died in the purge, and will keep on arguing for centuries to come. Because unlike the Germans, Stalin's gang often kept poor or no records. Or the records were destroyed by later zealots trying to cover it up -- w...
