That’s OK. Most got ReST wrong, too.

You don’t need a union to quiet quit or throw a shoe.

It seems strange to talk of attribution without talking about the founders.

You can even spend time and money to acquire a patent and it still doesn’t guarantee profit. It’s called the Miura-ori even though it was patented decades earlier. In this case, the patent acts as a record emphasizing that it’s all been done before.

Don't get hug up on "invented". Ruth Asawa registered for (1956) and received US patent 185,504 on June 16, 1959 at the suggestion of her professor, Buckminster Fuller.

How about the Iran-Contra connections? The crack epidemic ravaging Baltimore in The Wire has everything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Ever wonder how he bought that island of his?

Sounds like an opportunity for co-working lab spaces.

Is it politically motivated or does it have to do with Canadian tech not requiring investment because of its stability?

This is definitely sad news. From I remember, the early Internet seemed to be inhabited mostly by deadheads. When you think of open source, remember the music and the thousands who would tape and share the experience of Bobby playing with the band to millions.

While the band Death did evolve into a reggae band and Bad Brains, the undisputed originators of hardcore did have a reggae component, I would have to say that punk rock roots are very much rock 'n roll.

Fun fact, the song "Buffalo Soldier" was directly inspired by The Banana Splits theme song.

I agree with you in all seriousness. The unfortunate thing is we're along for the ride and it's all gas/no brakes.

The etymology of the word “Jazz” originates on the west coast and migrates east to meet up with the new music as musicians emigrate north to Chicago and New York audiences. Jazz is truly improvisational and very much American in origin.

I offer Fred Rogers testifying before the senate subcommittee on communications as a refresher on why we must continue to fund PBS and NPR.

The person on the other end of that call is thin skinned and likely not hugged much as a child. Sad.
