@reason
Today @youtube deleted solid @reason journalism about DIY vaccine biohackers in the name of preventing "medical misinformation"
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
I know it's a joke among libertarians and conservatives i.e YouTube can do what it likes as a private company but I find it a bit rich Reason are complaining....
YouTube has rapidly descended into a shill for corporatist interests. In a word, fascist.
No excrement, Mr. Holmes.
If Reason had any reason they’d stop using both YouTube and Twitter.
I never thought the internet would get as commercial as it has.
Although I guess it was inevitable.
I remember back in the late 90s something called the Terraserver project borrowed 4tb of drive space from me. that was a whole 42u rack full of drive bays back then.
iirc it was a fujitsu setup we had on loan and were doing perf testing.
Hah!
“YouTube has rapidly descended into a shill for corporatist interests. In a word, fascist.”
That’s an understatement.
They are full on Orwell’s Ministry of Truth.
I remember Terraserver.
But I also remember Vax terminals.
And punchcards.
BTW, the bldg i was in for most of my career was recently rehabbed. My old office was located where ENIAC sat.
True story.
Yup—wonder if Reason has learned their lesson and figured out that Big Tech is evil and evil must be stopped.
By 1956, ENIAC contained 18,000 vacuum tubes; 7,200 crystal diodes; 1,500 relays; 70,000 resistors; 10,000 capacitors; and approximately 5,000,000 hand-soldered joints.
ENIAC used common radio tubes;
In 1954, the longest continuous period of operation without a tube failure was 116 hours—close to five days.
then the transistor changed everything, Never did get the straight story about how those came to be.
these are about the only -Tubes I am considering these days

but I would be just as happy with the old marantz one I never should have sold.
“By 1956, ENIAC contained 18,000 vacuum tubes.”
Very interesting. Thank you.
No sympathy for these open-borders demons.
As a libertarian myself, I marvel at how long it’s taking most libertarians to comprehend that in a Fascist system, the distinction between ‘corporation’ and ‘state’ is meaningless—at least with respect to corporations large enough to effectively lobby legislatures and regulatory bureaucracies, to engage in “regulatory capture” and/or to bribe, blackmail or extort politicians and other rule/policy makers.
Fascism is defined as rule by a joint partnership between the state and its corporations.
Why haven’t orgs like Reason moved to rumble or bitchute? It is just amazing that they stay on these leftist run websites.
