Joshua Fluke talks about Netflix and the Keeper
Policy. Reminds me of when I was in the hole in 1981 after a cultural misperception.
He looks at Netflix’s team handbook. They have a “selflessness”
paragraph. They have unspecified
vacations.
No mention of vax.

small, update.

Here is a curious story by Craig Timberg in the Washington
Post about the control of 175 million IP Internet address spaces.
The Trump administration had turned it over to a
Florida company during the last hour of the Trump administration on January 20,
2021, for maybe nefarious purposes (like 2024?)

The Pentagon has taken them back, so private
entrepreneurs or startups won’t be able to use them.
Just one other question to ponder: Would a startup to do detailed data tracking
of climate change make sense? I am
trying to float this question around among some Harvard students.
