“Though the recent examples involve a Democratic administration, Republicans have shown they are just as tempted to abuse the power of government.

At its core, the IRS scandal is not the result of one political party attacking another. It is the inevitable consequence of a federal government that has gotten too big and too expensive to control. The federal government’s massive bureaucracy is inherently dysfunctional, corrupt, intolerant, and incompetent — regardless of who is in charge.

These are not random incidents perpetrated by bad actors. They are systemic features of the $4 trillion enterprise known as the federal government.”

- Sen. Mike Lee, “Washington vs. the People” (via hipsterlibertarian)

WHAM!

“Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, from Cleveland, Ohio, was one of the first women, and very likely the first woman, to receive a Ph.D. degree in computer science in the United States. Keller entered the Sisters of Charity, a Catholic religious order, in 1932 and professed her vows in 1940. Later, she studied at DePaul University, where she received a B.S. degree in mathematics and an M.S. degree in mathematics and physics. In 1965, she received a Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Wisconsin. Her dissertation work involved constructing algorithms that performed analytic differentiation on algebraic expression, written in CDC FORTRAN 63.

“As a graduate student, Keller also studied at Dartmouth, Purdue, and the University of Michigan. At Dartmouth, the university broke the “men only” rule and allowed her to work in the computer center, where she participated in the development of BASIC.

“After receiving her Ph.D. degree, Keller accepted an offer of a faculty position at Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa. Keller founded the Computer Science Department there and chaired it for 20 years. She also established a master’s degree program for computer applications in education.

“Keller felt that women should be involved in computer science and especially in the field of information specialist. In her words, ‘We’re having an information explosion, among others, and it’s certainly obvious that information is of no use unless it’s available.’ Keller’s vision extended eyond education and reached toward artificial intelligence. ‘For the first time, we can now mechanically simulate the cognitive process. We can make studies in artificial intelligence. Beyond that, this mechanism [the computer] can be used to assist humans in learning. As we are going to have more mature students in greater numbers as time goes on, this type of teaching will probably be increasingly important.’ Sister Mary Keller died at the age of 71 but has left a legacy of computers and education at Clarke College.”

Things Yahoo/Staff should change

Tue, 21 May 2013 02:33:32 -0700

rainbownova:

make a chat system

give alerts when someone answers your ask

REMOVE THE FUCKING ‘REBLOG AS A LINK’ THING

FIX THAT FUCKING TUMBLR VIDEO PLAYER GOD DAMNIT

search multiple tags at once

MAYBE HAVE A ‘LIVE VIDEO’ BUTTON OR SOMETHING

FUCKING REMOVE BLOGS THAT HAVE BEEN INACTIVE FOR 18 MONTHS

REMOVE BLOGS OF PEOPLE WHO SEND HATE OR VIOLATE THE RULES OF TUMBLR (YEA IM LOOKING AT YOU, 12.9 YEAR OLDS)

SENT FOLDER SENT FOLDER SENT FOLDER like I’m supposed to remember what I just said

I agree with a couple of these. However.

If I was inactive for a couple of years for some reason I wouldn’t want to come back and find my blog just… gone. Maybe if the owner gets a warning or something, but I’m iffy on that one.

“Sending hate” is an ambiguous reason to remove a blog and easily abused via mass reporting, etc. Block people you absolutely can’t stand and turn anon off if you’re sensitive.

(Also, I thought Yahoo was going to let Tumblr continue running itself, so why are we demanding things from Yahoo again?)

Getting really worried about my supervisor. She wasn’t at work today and didn’t send any explanation or warning (at least not to me or the other L.A.—if she contacted the branch manager we wouldn’t know yet, because the manager was out sick).

This is not like her at all. I hope nothing serious happened…

Dear gun proponents:

You don’t get it. It’s not about stats, or figures, or “I did this and nothing happened” or whatnot. It’s about attitudes. Your attachment to guns is ridiculous and unnecessary. That’s all I’m saying.

Wow. So….. it doesn’t matter whether gun control…
