Tantek Celik: 11 days ago I suggested a unified Sent box of everything sent/reacji’d to all Slacks (slack.com) logged-in with the same email. Beyond Slack though, everything you write & send anywhere: txt, chat, email, web. A Universal Outbox of all content you create, including responses. A flat time ordered list of output across mediums. And a source of material to blog. The phrase “Universal Outbox” seemed obvious to describe such a feature, parallel to the idea of a universal inbox that I remember first learning of as a concept from Apple’s AOCE project² in the early 1990s, but called a “single universal mailbox”. Figuring someone must have come up with the idea, I did a web search, and found a minimal wiki page from 2011: UniversalOutbox which did vaguely describe the idea: “a single hub where someone can find all your outbound LifeStreams?” (more)

Ben Hunt: The Grifters, Chapter 3 - Election Prediction. The “scores” and the “announcing” and the game itself are a totally distinct thing from the process and dynamic and the outcome of our most important political institution. And they (538) know it. And yet they sell their game over and over again as if it were the real thing. That’s what makes it a grift. (more)

Tantek Celik: Nineteen years ago last Saturday, Kevin Marks & I introduced microformats at OReillyMedia ETech 2004, building on “semantic (x)html”. We named #microformats only after we had established a pattern of real world examples; even our talk proposal was named RealWorldSemantics, and provided examples in that broader theme. (more)
