Looks like China is living the future [medium.com] the US is slowly realizing they too are in:

In China, that foundation of reality is eroded alongside trust in institutions previously tasked with upholding the truth. Contrary to popular sentiment in the US, Chinese readers don’t blindly trust the state-run media. Rather, they distrust it so much that they don’t trust any form of media, instead putting their faith in what their friends and family tell them. No institution is trusted enough to act as a definitive fact-checker, and so it’s easy for misinformation to proliferate unchecked.

This has been China’s story for decades. In 2016, it is starting to be the US’ story as well.

@kdfrawg This one would have been hard to do in email. It would have been easier to do in person, aside from the fact they're on the other side of the country. :P

Having meetings with IT people is like herding cats sometimes.

Awake against my will. Almost through first cup of coffee.

@matigo As long as the battery doesn't drop from 10-20% to dead in ten seconds, I'm good. That's the point I usually replace the battery…

@matigo See, I'm not willing to get the battery get to 70% of factory-reported life. :P

@matigo I am very hard on batteries. I'm lucky if I can get one to last 18 months before I'm ready to get a new one.

@matigo possibly but it depends on who you get them from.

LinkedIn and my resume are a little more in sync now. Always a good thing.

@matigo Bought it used. No way the kids are getting new iPhones. :P
