I am so mad about this -- I keep finding out that key people I want to hear from are unable to go to the conferences that depend on their work.

All my teammates going to IPFS Camp, Lisbon got their VISA rejected by the Spain Embassy. In this world where India is becoming a superpower, can't have these monthly reminders of how weak the Indian passports are. Done with Europe, time to get everyone towards Asia.

Alex Mingus is a real-life hero in St. Paul, MN. He heard gunshots, and made contact with the victim who was bleeding profusely. He stepped up and wrapped a shirt around their arm, slowing the bleeding and saving their life.

seriously tho: if we maximise copyright so that we limit what you can do with public data, in order to save a particular aikido move from the 80s intended to defend open sharing culture from the encroachment of (C)... i feel that would be bad.
