Relevant regulatory movement I am keeping a close eye on in 2023. The Digital Services Oversight and Safety Act (DSOSA) and Platform Accountability and Transparency Act in the US. The Gonzalez v. Google and its potential impact on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act in the US. And in the EU, both of the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act.
I remember learning about hedge funds counting types of cars at intersections by malls to make bets on markets while in NYC. I read in WSJ today that there is a correlation between GDP and street lights viewed from satellites. https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fandd/issues/2019/09/satellite-images-at-night-and-economic-growth-yao

It is such a let down when a link doesn't unfurl when pasted into Slack. It is like I walked into a room with a new outfit and nobody saw it.
Hour and half into work today and I have already had to play ball 3 times and tug o war twice with my Poppy dog. Off to a good start!

The tech press doesn't understand that Twitter just killed the only thing that ever made them innovative:
3rd party access to their API
This should be a bigger story because, in reality, almost all of Twitter innovations came from 3rd parties -- including the word "tweet" itself.

🚨 BREAKING: This week, @CenDemTech & 6 technologists with expertise in online recommendation systems filed an amicus brief in Gonzalez v Google. The brief urges the U.S. #SupremeCourt to hold that #Section230’s liability shield applies to claims against interactive computer service providers based on their recommendation of third-party content, because those claims treat providers as publishers.

"Third-party clients don't make us any money so of course we're not allowing them" is a bold stance from the one platform that doesn't share revenue with its creators. #Twitter
I do not care what you use for your backend, just socialize and collaborate around the contract for the interface.

Writing everyday grounds you.
Writing everyday centers you.
Writing each day is not about readers.
Forward motion depends on writing.
I managed to accumulate 1K followers in just shy of 60 days on Mastodon. My ego does tune into these things, but mostly it reveals to me of the viability of the network. I've not just found my people, but I am expanding & finding new people--It is taking work, but worth it.

I still have the original Twitter API Field Guide style documentation from back in the day. I collect old APIs. I am that guy you drive by their house on highway in the desert and they have a bunch of old APIs in their yard. https://twitter-field-guide.apievangelist.com/
