Sharing content on the web, as shown by @taravancil, can be easier not having to deal with a server. @BeakerBrowser is a read-write Bittorrent-inspired peer-to-peer technology where complexity of blockchain isn’t required.

Reading The Undoing Project, by Michael Lewis, reminded me of a PhD course at UBC with Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, before they were recognized as Nobel prize candidates.
The impacts of platforms
Platforms have had only a short history, so much of the research is still definitional, with proposed frameworks.
Platforms, an emerging appreciation

From Flickr to Piwigo
Migrating of Flickr to a self-hosted Piwigo site took only a few button pushes, to gain practically the same functions that I have been using for 5 years.
Optimism for open sourcing
The acquisition by IBM of Red Hat brings together two companies that have been leading in open sourcing while private sourcing for almost 20 years.
A philosophy of “becoming with” as “becoming alongside”
Reflecting on my philosophical shift in 2017 from being (i.e. Heidegger), the position towards becoming-with can be further refined to becoming-alongside.

Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy | 2018 | Dr. Allan Abbass
The traditional separation of mind and body is dissolved by @ISTDP, departing from traditional western medicine.

Washington suffers from #Gerontocracy; Ottawa is 1-1/2 #Generations younger. To gauge the measure of the gerontocracy, Ottawa offers a remarkable comparison. The average age of Washington’s leaders – Mr. Trump, Ms. Pelosi, Mr. McConnell – is 75.
