Daily Log 2

Trying out (probably just temporarily) making short daily-ish notes about things, in an attempt to see if it helps me be more reflective or productive lol.

Activities: Much less than yesterday, felt sick and sleepy so barely got anything done. It was also warmer inside today.. Very much dreading summer. I still feel like the people who ~~ love warm weather sooo much~~ must also have central heating and air and are able to escape the warmth, or at least have cool airy houses where they can get cross breezes or something.. I just fail to see how ANYONE could enjoy sweating all day because it's like 75F indoors, etc. grrbb,,, the headaches, sleepless sweaty nights, constant physical discomfort, etc. The next few days look cloudy and rainy though so.. yEs.. haha HA

Got a new charger for my old 2004 nokia phone so it actually turns on now, and recorded myself going through the ringtones and games. I might add the footage to a currently not fully edited video of me also looking through other electronics (old phones, turbo twist math, etc.). I love old ringtones actually and if I were rich, I would love to collect old phones specifically just to have a catalogue of what they're like and all of the sounds they contain.

Managed to have a tiny burst of energy and take photos of 3 outfits before my arms and shoulder started hurting and I got too warm.

Sent email to one doctor.

Translated like 3 words for the Avirrekava poem thing I mentioned yesterday. My language document is not organized very well at all so I've kind of lost my flow of working on it. I've heard about people making searchable dictionary type things for their conlangs, so I'd like to look more into that maybe. As well as making a custom font, though I don't know if that's more difficult for syllabaries (so wouldn't be directly linkable to a plain english alphabet keyboard?? eh?). Anyway, I need to finish the tapestry/painting thing/etc. soon though since I have no good place to put it. The canvas is warping a little just laying haphazardly on my closet floor lol.

Made one quick mspaint background image for the next batch of song snippet things for my jokey music youtube.

Edited like 10 minutes of the Giant Worldbuilding Slideshow Project.. couldn't focus on that either since being at the computer today irritated my shoulders and arms.

Notable sights: Saw 6 baby ducks and their parents swimming in a nearby pond!! It's interesting how their colors seem to change so much, and the young ones have the little spots on their back. Not much else, I was not very active lol..

Goals moving forward: Still working on consistent sleep schedule. Focus on social activities, finding new friends in the places I want to move, communicating with ones I have. Physical therapy exercises. Plant nasturtiums. Finish and upload videos, edit pictures, post the poll adventure thing that has been sitting in a draft for weeks (I thought I would get it done today, but alas.. I don't even have to do much, just proofread and post it, I just keep having no energy/being preoccupied with other things/hurts to be on computer.. grrr.. I want to continue the story lol >:T).

Notable foods: HAD ASPARAGUS YEaaaaaghhhHHHH!!!!!!!!! Asparagus SQUAD!!!!!!!!!! ... Also a few pieces of smoked gouda with lunch, one of my favorite cheeses.

2024 Planning

I started planning for 2024 today. I’ve learned a lot this year, made mistakes, had some successes and now it’s time to take all my learnings, good or bad, and go to the next level.

I prefer starting next year’s routine from 2023’s November and December so that by the time January rolls around, I’m settled into the routine. If there’s any revisions necessary, I can do them without starting my new year on the wrong foot.

I maintain my goals on mostly short and medium term basis. This includes daily, weekly and quarterly planning (I don’t do monthly because it doesn’t work for me).

This may seem complicated (actually, it looks more complicated than it is but it’s just what helps me) but let me show you how exactly I do things.

I keep two diaries. One for daily and weekly and one for quarterly. I have a habit tracker on my phone for my daily non-Negotiables (exercise, meditation, reading and language).

The quarterly diary is my big big diary. Every quarter, it lists out all the big plans, what i want to do and who i want to be. It’s all the messy thoughts I have, all my dreams, my weaknesses, my strengths, etc etc. The only “practical” part of the diary is that there is one general plan made at the end of my mad scribbling. It has the general idea, feedback I’ve received from other people and compilation of all the advice I’ve gotten from my mentors.

2. The daily - weekly diary breaks the plan into manageable bits. I write out the week’s plan (who do i need to meet, who do i need to follow up with, any major presentation coming up, any assignment, what am i reading this week) and write a one sentence daily update on it.

I can’t use a habit tracker for this because i’m not tracking meditation or exercise on here. I’m tracking my career goals, my ambitious goals, into smaller goals. A habit tracker wouldnt cut it because I would have to elaborate more on certain things.

For example:

“20-27th Nov: Weekly list

budget presentation on Monday

1 event to attend on Tuesday. Topic: XYZ

Reading: the inheritors

reach out to mentor, schedule a meeting

7 language essays and 7 videos

Monday, 20th Nov.

work presentation: complete.

Feedback received: i need to work on XYZ.

points they raised that didnt cross my mind: XYZ

follow ups required and if yes, with who: XYZ

reading: complete. Interesting point they brought up: XYZ

essay for the day: complete.

Video complete:

Tuesday, 21st Nov

mentor meeting scheduled

event went well. Met: A, B, C who work in XYZ companies. Follow up with them next week for coffee/ drinks.

essay: complete

video: complete”

Having two diaries helps me because i can find my bigger goals without having to go through the daily entry mess. I like having the two separate.

Nov ‘23 + Dec ‘23 + Q1 2024’s goals include:

Social (meeting new people, maintaining networks)

Intellectual (biographies, documentaries, industry reports)

Personal (soft skills, language studies)

Work (presentations, courses, conferences)

A major change I’ve making this year is actively working on every single weakness I have that I know is a potential strength. I’m ignoring weaknesses that I know are 100% weaknesses like coding because there’s just no way I can sit in front of a computer and learn all that, it’s absolutely not my cup of tea and does not make me happy.

I made a list of every single weakness i have and I’m embarrassed about and ashamed of. 2024 is the year of NO shame. I’m not letting my intrusive thoughts win.

Next to each weakness I wrote out a potential solution.

Ex: not picking up the language i’m studying as fast as i want to -> write 1 short essay and a 1-2 minute video of me talking about anything in that language every single day

I’m not allowing any unnecessary negative self doubt or self talk happen. Constructive criticism is one thing, being a bitch to yourself is another. I plan to learn a lot next year.

I’ve created a manageable exposure therapy plan for myself - I aim to meet 3 new people every month and follow up with 5 new connections every month, whether it’s over chat or irl.

I’ve made a list of business biographies I’m going to read. This year I reached my reading target earlier than anticipated which I’m very happy about. Next year I’m focusing on books that are solely about business, technology and psychology.

Chandeliers and Fireflies

I AM SO LATE TO THIS I AM SORRY!!!

So I saw a fan event from @starry-night-rose called Glimmering Soirée. And as soon as I saw it was a ball event based on Cinderella, I was like YES YES YES! WHERE IS MY COMPUTER! I HAVE TO WRITE SOMETHING! Here is a summary on the event to get some context for the fic. Synopsis: Piper and Grim have been tasked by Headmaster Crowley to help the chosen princes with their lessons as well as getting them prepared for the ball. This is going to be in multiple chapters that I will be posting on separate dates. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: A Job for us...Again

After the announcement of the princes, all eyes were on the four in either shock, enthusiasm for the princes, or anger that they weren't picked. The four princes all had different reactions:

Malleus Draconia... was not there... probably forgot to come or was not invited again. But, luckily Lilia was there, and he seemed over the moon at the fact that Malleus was chosen as one of the Princes. He will have to convey that information to him once he sees him.

Deuce Spade was in a state of disbelief. Him? A prince? He honestly never considered himself to be royalty fit. He hardly knew any royals who were delinquents. However, as a dedicated honors student, he felt determined to take this role on the best he can and be a fantastic representative for Night Raven College.

Azul Ashengrotto looked like he had thaumark signs in his eyes. His mind was reeling with ways in which he can take advantage of this position for his gain in the market space. What networks he will get, advertisements for the lounge, poor souls he can swindle- I mean make offers with. The endless possibilities made Azul giddy to get out of the classroom and start writing up plans.

Kalim-Al Asim was ecstatic. He loved hosting events at home and at his dorm. So, the chance to host a ball for two schools is something he is definitely excited about. He's already thinking of the music, food, elephants, everything a party needs. It has not occurred to him that he has not participated in a traditional ball before.

"So," the headmage interrupted the stares. "Now that we have our princes, lessons shall begin tomorrow. In the meantime, everyone return to your dorms. Each one has been given an assigned task to complete before the Glimmering Soirée. Be sure to complete them in a timely manner, we don't want our school getting bad pre- I mean, we should be the best host possible for the ball! Dismissed!"

There were friendly teases and annoyed grumbles as those who were not picked as princes left. The four princes (minus Malleus) took the teases in stride, except for Azul who was trying his best just to leave, but the Leech twins made that almost impossible. They teased their little "Princey" until Azul shoved them out of the way.

Piper, the magicless prefect of Ramshackle dorm, was about to leave her spot with her Pooh bear and congratulate the princes until she heard a frustrated "Myah" from her feline companion.

"The choices were rigged," Grim said with a pout. "I should be one of the princes! Just look at me!" He smirked and crossed his arms. "I am the most dashing student here!"

"If by dashing, you mean dashingly unappealing, then I would agree," a cocky voice said behind them. The two Ramshackle residents looked to see Ace Trappola with a mischievous smirk of his own. Piper could swear Grim's fire ears started to smoke at Ace's comment.

"Grr... big talk from someone who didn't get picked either," Grim said, looking like he was going to pounce Ace. Piper was about to intervene before hearing another voice.

"Kock it off you two," a voice said coming towards the three. They looked to see the blue haired prince-to-be coming towards them.

"Well, look who decided to grace us with his presence," Ace teased his fellow Heartslabyul freshman. Deuce became flushed in embarassment.

"You come to rub your royalty in our face?" Grim asked, still salty about the results.

"Would you two quit it with that?" Deuce asked getting frustrated at the teasing. "Just because I was chosen does not mean I'm any less different than I was before. And besides, it was chosen by chance, so I'm no special than anyone if they were chosen."

"Ah come on Deucey," Ace played it off. "We're just playing around!"

"And Grim has a bit of jealousy over not being picked," Piper said with a giggle. Grim made a surprised, "mrah!," over the sudden call-out from his henchman.

"Oh," Deuce suddenly gained a smirk. "So that's why you're acting cranky towards me."

"I've had enough of all of you," Grim yelled. "Come on henchman, we're leaving!"

"Congratulations Deuce," Piper said in her chipper demeanor. "I know you'll be a great prince!"

"Ahh," Deuce blushed before giving a sincere smile to Piper. "If you really think so, then thank you Piper!" He raised his fist to his chest. "I'll make sure that I'm the best prince I can be!"

The four of them got up to leave. Before Piper and Grim could walk out the door, they heard another familiar voice calling to them.

"Ms. Finch, Grim, could you stay for just a moment," the voice came from the headmage. Sensing an important task was coming, Piper walked back to Crowley.

"How may I assist, Headmage Crowley," Piper said in a way that showed enthusiasm. Grim looked displeased with her response, but the headmaster gleamed.

"Love the enthusiasm, Ms. Finch," Crowley said with glee. "I've noticed that I have not yet given an assignment to your dorm. Luckily for you, I have chosen a special position for the both of you." Piper knew this would be another way for Crowley to get out of a task, but she was always willing to help anyway she could. Grim didn't look that willing. "The princes of the ball may need some assistance in lessons and preparation, I would like to ask you assist in the princes' lessons and preparation before the ball!" Piper looked excited and more than willing to help, but Grim still wasn't happy to do work.

"Nyah! I don't get to be a prince, and now I have to be their personal assistant?" Grim said with his pout again. Piper shook her head at the silly-ole-cat.

"Ah, don't think I have not thought of a form of repayment for your services," The headmage said trying to reassure the cat. "Those who assist the princes will have the privilege to attend the Glimmering Soirée alongside them. This includes formal attire on the school and early access to festivities, food, and the dance floor. Oh how kind am I?"

"Y-you mean," Grim said in shock. "I can eat all the good food before everyone else?!"

"Also," Crowley continued. "Working closely to the princes grants you a great advantage of becoming Belle of the Ball, which will be voted on by both faculty and the princes. The student who is chosen shall be given high honors such as a crown, scepter, and many others."

"A crown and a scepter?!" Grim said as his pout turned into a huge grin. "Mrah ha ha! I accept this assignment!"

"Silly-ole-cat," Piper said with a sigh. "I shall also be glad to help!" Piper responded to Crowley. She did not care for the rewards as she only cared for helping her classmates and her school.

"Splendid!" The headmaster beamed. "I shall see you tomorrow morning for the first lesson!"

With that Piper took Pooh and Grim out the lecture room. Determined to do her best to help out the princes in any way she could.

"Watch out Glimmering Soirée!" Grim said with a smirk, "Your Belle of the Ball is coming your way!"

Chapter 2

Thank you for reading! I'll try to get the other chapters out as soon as I can, but I wanted to get this one out as soon as possible! I'm happy to be participating in this amazing event!

[ladydeath-vanserra]

yeah see seeing all these ✨️city people✨️ and people with a lot of privilege and classism routinely calling rural iowans (SPECIFICALLY iowans) 'hicks' makes me angry and it makes me sad

we're not fucking STUPID. and a lot of the "stupidity" is often intentionally CREATED by making sure our schools are underfunded without access to proper education to build critical thinking skills and proper RESEARCH skills and limited access to news outside of newspapers and fox news. it's intentional. it's by design.

Educated rural folks who have the luxury (yes LUXURY and PRIVILEGE) to go to college to get educated LEAVE the areas where they could be the most beneficial for change and making communities diverse and more progressive and it furthers right wing, republican agendas by keeping people without access to resources and desperate and angry with the wrong people

"well you have access to the internet" yeah and the internet is full of misinformation and a lot of people are not taught how to look for credible sources or websites or how to look at biased language in writing so they ARE more susceptible to propaganda via fox News and the internet. you know what the internet also has? targeted ads and algorithms making sure you keep seeing the same kind of content and people who don't know DON'T know

however a lot of practical skills? knowledge that isn't BOOK SMART? I know plenty and they're so, so, so smart. but all I see from liberals and leftists is the refusal to use layman and simplified terms and "um! actually you need to educate yourself ☝🏻" and use unnecessarily difficult phrases

you say "defund the police" and people hear "be lawless and have no safety networks to prevent crime" instead of trying to find less #edgy slogans for what you ACTUALLY mean

you don't know what you don't know and calling us fucking hicks and ignorant isn't helping anyone. Tumblr was my first experience outside of Facebook where I learned about asexuality? it Didn't have an algorithm so I'll was able to be immersed in different cultures and view points

I'm not trying to make excuses for anyone being in rural Iowa for being hateful or racist or queerphobic but after living in the city for the last few years, I still see the same shit. it's just less covert in rural Iowa and in your face and I see leftists and liberals using their proximity to cities, and the problems in rural america as a Shield for their own bigoted and hateful behavior

I remember being on Tumblr, slowly inching into the queer community spaces, bec I wasn't used to online spaces, i was too poor at the time to have access to computers [2013+] and I came across the terms "trans man" and "trans woman" and I thought that meant a someone assigned male at birth who was trans and identified as a woman was called a 'trans man' bec I didn't know the terminology or how it was supposed to be used. I didn't know "transsexual" was considered a slur and I got attacked online for accidently using the wrong terminology because I couldn't remember the term transgender

I was from rural Iowa, a notoriously white, cis het area, fairly religious area, without a lot of access to the internet so I just. didn't know. and then i was afraid of ever saying anything again or asking questions. pls for the love of God use discernment and don't immediately vilify and attack well meaning people for not knowing what they don't know. that is EXACTLY how you can prevent people from ever being willing to grow and become educated

I remember watching the movie "Boys Don't Cry" with my mom about Brandon Teena, a trans man, and we both didn't know enough or understand enough about trans people we were unintentionally misgendering him when we talked about it but we both were so empathetic and heart broken for him

rural people I know are Prideful! they're constantly working to make ends meet and they have pride in themselves and their communities, often to the point it's at their own detriment and republican law makers KEEP it that way and rely on the classism and anger and diversion to keep it that way

a yt rural American in Appalachia is going to have more in common with a black American living in the city in the Projects more than we ever will with upper class yt folks. the wealthy yt #liberals will mock us and call us fucking stupid and ignorant and get in their own way of wanting any kind of progression. it! is never! black and white!!! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BE KIND

why do you think rural Republicans don't trust the government? couldn't possibly have anything to do with the government IGNORING us or preying on poor folks who live paycheck to paycheck. of COURSE it makes sense they'd be leery about government wide programs. the government DOESNT CARE ABOUT US. and most rural "Republicans" I know aren't even republican. they don't have the time to invest in politics when we have to Work and can't Miss Work to go vote or find ways around road blocks.

most people don't know enough and vote for people they know and most don't Know democrats or their policies or their progressive goals and you know WHY that often happens? BECAUSE DEMOCRATS IGNORE THEM IN FAVOR OF CITIESSSSS. they call them STUPID and IGNORANT and can you really blame people for "not voting in their best interest" when the people who "care about their best interest" are people calling them stupid and ignorant and HICKS

I've been around Republicans in the city and Republicans in rural Iowa and if you look and listen close enough the *reasoning* for their racism (especially) tends to differ. racism is a social construct (that does NOT mean it isn't real or not important) and it was used specifically as a tool to create tension and a divide between the poor yt folks and the poc *by* yt, wealthy capitalists. the Irish were finally allowed to be #white bec they were identifying with the struggles of the marginalized folks being targeted just like THEY were in Ireland by Europe

the cold hatred I have seen from rural Republicans vs city, wealthy Republicans has been vastly different. don't get me wrong there are plenty of rural Republicans that are just as disgusting (I'm related to some lmao). often a lot of racism i see from rural folks is tied to anger and desperation from the lack of jobs and its designed that way. a lot of the racism from yt wealthy folks is tied to greed and wealth and capitalism. Donald Trump is a blaring example of an unchecked, racist, vile, classist man

I'm sorry I've had a REALLY bad week and living in a city with people who are so self centered and selfish and refuse to help has only made me miss home and despite all of the raging issues of rural america, I know a lot of kind and well meaning people who are just doing their best and willing to help you because we fucking know the government doesn't care about us

just. be kind. you don't know what you don't know and I think a lot of well meaning people shouldn't be getting attacked for it. empathy and grace should be given (when able) and people should be allowed to grow from innocent ignorance and mistakes

intersectionality and empathy and grace are so important and honestly rural america can be really beautiful and it really sucks to see it given up on in such a cruel way

I follow a person on tiktok who really embraces the idea of radical love and I think more people should too

Wooo! Geography and sustainability and stuff and stuff

When, in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one student to take upon themselves the burden of writing a very long (not really all that) academic post on a website they barely know how to use because said website was recommended to them by their actual genuine university as a blog website for an assignment.

And then said student forgets to do the assignment, falls deliriously ill, and is now finally getting round to it hilariously late and because all of their other assignments seem so, so much more difficult and mentally strenuous to do on a day where they really do not want to have to deal with that.

So, here we are. A comically large wall of poorly grammatically structured text, talking about (drumroll please) geography! More specifically "Human" geography, or Urban Geography or whatever you want to call it. It's my chosen field of study (despite my best judgement) and I've been tasked by the powers that be, to create a blog to inform and educate the nebulously defined general public about ~exciting~ developments and "Gamechanging innovations" Now, to tell the truth, this was not a particularly easy thing for me to do, because quite frankly my chosen field of study isn't really one of those ones you'd associate with constant innovation and invention, at least in my mind, but thankfully the university provided a long list of various subjects we could look at and study and then report back unto you (the reader, stand in for the entire rest of the world) about.

Small issue there, was the vast vast majority of what we were offered as potential "Gamechanging innovations" either drove me to madness with boredom, or absolutely did not seem like they were exactly "Gamechanging" (could be worse, one of the ideas offered to another discipline was the hyperloop, which is quite frankly a stupid idea that is dead in the water and could have just been normal highspeed rail)

Take, for instance, "Autonomous vehicles". Yeah. Now, suffice to say there is issues with the concept of self driving vehicles, mostly about how the technology is not exactly safe right now, and well, that's just the start of the rabbit hole there. (and really, just build a train, tram or other preferred method of public transport)

There was another one, which look promising to my untrained eye, namely "The Internet of things" which I had no idea what it was, so doing what any self respecting academic in-training would do, I googled it. Apparently, the "Internet of Things" is the catch-all term for devices that exchange and communicate data over the internet.

I'm no expert, but at an initial reading, that did just seem to be most things these days, and was hardly groundbreaking or new, so I dug a bit deeper into the scholarly side of the ole internet for some answers. Thankfully, I found a very helpful little paper (linked here) which clarified, and I quote:

"The term Internet of Things generally refers to scenarios where network connectivity and computing capability extends to objects, sensors and everyday items not normally considered computers, allowing these devices to generate, exchange and consume data with minimal human intervention. There is, however, no single, universal definition."

So it's the smart fridges, the fancy new cars and all of that lovely stuff, which buzz all of their data and such onto other devices on the internet. Now, of course my immediate thought was that it means my everything is now spying on me, but I was quickly relieved to remember that that changes effectively nothing as I do in fact own a phone which already does that.

The main benefit that seems to be proposed by this is the fact that all of this data allows rather effective monitoring of things like emissions and water quality and power usage and potentially good ole agriculture and so on and so forth, which, yeah, I can see the uses, maybe, but I can also see the glaring potential privacy, legal and potential tech issues.

A lot of people may not like their cars telling some company about where they've been all the time, and how much gas they've used. That's fair and understandable. Not to mention, the data gathered could be wrong, or otherwise rendered useless, effectively poisoning the data-well if enough things go wrong, or are just falsely reported to the public.

(It's at this point that I realise, I don't exactly know if this is quite what the uni wanted me to write, but hey, at least it's honest)

Anyway, I've overstayed my welcome in rambling about all of these things, and will be back (later) to complain/ do my assignment more, have a lovely day and remember that if you ever think about revolutionizing public transport, ask yourself if a bus or train would do the same thing, better.

Given the lost productivity of build times how are game dev companies trying to speed them up? Is it just a matter of shoving as much RAM and CPU cores into the workstations as possible or do things like cloud synching issues put a hard cap on how much throwing money at the problem helps?

The larger the team gets, the more effort and resources the studio spends on reducing build times. This is because it's a multiplicative effect - reducing build times can save many developers time on the daily. There are several different approaches I've seen studios take to optimize build time. Here are a few of them:

Modular Builds

Instead of having everybody build everything, we separate assets into buckets that don't always need to be built - common assets in one bucket, specific level assets in another, character assets in a third, weapons in a fourth, and so on. This way, a character artist might need to build the character bucket but is fine with slightly out-of-date level or audio assets. A level designer might be building their assigned level all the time, but doesn't need to build all of the other stuff. And so on. If the build is modular, I only have to build the assets I need to rather than all of them.

Automated Builds

Getting more computer hardware is relatively cheap, especially if there are a lot of people on the team. Build engineers set up and maintain workstations whose only job is to grab the latest data from the depot, build the assets, then serve the finished files to developers who ask for them over the network. Automated builds also run automated tests on those builds to ensure they work. If the build is broken for some reason, the build machines are set up to look at all of the checkins between the current (broken) build and the last good build so they can warn the team that the build is broken, and identify and notify the culprits responsible for checking in broken files. Automated builds typically run 24/7, meaning that freshly built files are often only minutes or hours old at most, and that broken builds get caught more quickly so fewer devs get stuck.

Distributed Builds

Our development workstations are not always running at 100% capacity at all times. While I'm thinking, reading code, writing documentation, or generally not putting my PC through the paces, its CPU is mostly just idling and maybe playing some music for me. There are software suites that will allow these idle workstations to help out during a teammate's build process by doing some of the processing concurrently. Available idle workstations can get pulled in to help speed up a teammate's build. This also often works with the automated build principle - hardware is fairly cheap relative to developer time, so it's worth spending a few thousand for build machines to save collective days, weeks, months of wasted developer time.

Full Time Build Engineers

In order to make these things work, we hire engineers who work full time on making builds go faster. It is their job to set up and automate the build process for the rest of us. They might not work on game code or assets directly, but their work is invaluable to keeping the entire team productive. They set up the automated build process, they maintain the build machines, they create the automated tests, they handle the integrations between depots, and they are the first line of defense against bad checkins.

These are the most common ways I've seen of speeding build times up and keeping us productive. Optimizing builds is a never-ending battle where the victories can save thousands of collective hours, and the defeats can cost thousands of collective hours. It's an enormous problem that grows multiplicatively with the size of the team, because every additional team member is more time lost to building.

60 Years Ago, Congress Warned Us About The Surveillance State. What Happened?

"We must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.”

— By Jennifer Holt | September 27, 2024 | The MIT Press Reader

In the 1960s, Congress turned the tables and began to address the threat that the state and its use of computerized technologies posed to the privacy of its citizens. Much of this was in response to President Johnson’s proposal for a “National Data Center” in 1965 to consolidate federal databases as part of the Great Society project. Congress became alarmed and held numerous hearings in the House and Senate between 1966 and 1967 to discuss the many potential invasions of privacy represented by government control of individual data. The idea of a state repository of citizen data created quite an uproar, as explored in the text that follows, and the “National Data Center” did not come to pass.

This article is excerpted from Jennifer Holt’s book “Cloud Policy.”

A decade later, in 1975, the Church Committee, chaired by Senator Frank Church, convened to investigate widespread intelligence abuses by federal agencies, including the CIA, FBI, NSA, and IRS. Prompted by whistleblower Christopher Pyle’s exposé of the Army’s domestic surveillance, the committee revealed extensive government spying on American citizens, often based on political beliefs with no link to violence or foreign threats. In a chilling interview on Meet the Press that summer, Church amplified his warnings, pointing to “a future in which technological advances could be turned around on the American people and used to facilitate a system of government surveillance.” If the U.S. continued down this path, he cautioned, “No American would have any privacy left,” emphasizing that “we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.”

Cultural Fears about the state’s ability to track its citizens have circulated at least since the 1930s when the New Deal ushered in Social Security and a panic ensued over being assigned an identification number that would follow one all the way to the grave. These fears continued through the 1950s with the Red Scare, loyalty oaths, and the anti-Communist crusades of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. However, Congress did not devote much attention to the privacy of individual citizens until the 1960s, when concerns reached new heights, thanks in part to technological advances.

Portable recording technologies and computing began to sound alarms, as their capabilities elicited new threats to privacy rights. Such worries were amplified by the Supreme Court, as Chief Justice Earl Warren stated in a 1963 opinion regarding recording devices and entrapment: “The fantastic advances in the field of electronic communication constitute a great danger to the privacy of the individual.” In addition, a wave of writing by scholars and journalists at this time, focused on technology, privacy, and personal autonomy, helped inform public debate. In many ways this work anticipated current anxieties about the price of life under Big Tech.

In many ways this work anticipated current anxieties about the price of life under Big Tech.

Vance Packard’s “The Naked Society” (1964), Alan F. Westin’s “Privacy and Freedom” (1967), and Arthur Miller’s “The Assault on Privacy” (1971) were among the most influential in this genre. Miller understood then that the time would soon come when “our primary source of knowledge will be electronic information nodes or communications centers located in our homes, schools, and offices that are connected to international, national, regional, and local computer-based data networks.” Westin evoked many present-day issues in his wide-ranging, foundational book, paying great attention to “data surveillance” and how new technologies were affecting norms of privacy in order to recuperate this “cornerstone of the American system of liberty.” He viewed privacy and freedom as inextricably linked, defining privacy as “the claim of individuals … to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent information about them is communicated to others.” “Privacy and Freedom” is still useful today for thinking about the malleable parameters of privacy, and its power in defining an individual’s relationship to the state.

This was the context in which President Lyndon B. Johnson proposed a federally controlled data center called the National Data Bank in 1965 as part of the Great Society project. The data center was imagined as a tool for efficiency and organization that would consolidate federal databases at the dawn of computerized record-keeping. However, concerns about technology and privacy were becoming widespread enough that a congressional Special Subcommittee on the Invasion of Privacy was established in the House of Representatives. Four separate hearings were held in the House and Senate between 1966 and 1967 to discuss the threats to privacy posed by the computer and the government control of data. They were dominated by overwhelming expressions of concern about the sanctity of individual privacy and civil liberties. The government’s power combined with the yet-unknown capabilities of digital technology were positioned as the main potential threat. The determination that the public needed to be protected from the centralized state collection of data above all else, without sufficient attention to the dangers lurking elsewhere, was a defining moment for cloud policy that has only grown more consequential over the decades that followed.

The chair of the Subcommittee on the Invasion of Privacy running the House hearings, Representative Cornelius “Neil” Gallagher (D-NJ), introduced the investigation of the National Data Center in July 1966 by saying, “The possible future storage and regrouping of such personal information … strikes at the core of our Judeo-Christian concept of ‘forgive and forget,’ because the computer neither forgives nor forgets.” Representative Frank Horton (R-NY) warned that “the magnitude of the problem we now confront is akin to the changes wrought in our national life with the dawning of the nuclear age.… It is not enough to say ‘It can’t happen here’; our grandfathers said that about television.” One of the original network architects of the Internet, Paul Baran, alluded to threats posed by the future cloud in his expert-witness testimony, noting that “a multiplicity of large, remote-access computer systems, if interconnected, can pose the danger of loss of the individual’s right to privacy — as we know it today.” Author Vance Packard called attention to the “suffocating sense of surveillance” engendered by a centralized government database, noting the “hazard of permitting so much power to rest in the hands of the people in a position to push computer buttons, … [because] we all to some extent fall under the control of the machine’s managers.”

Gallagher had a remarkably prescient grasp of technological threats to individual privacy, which was likely a result of being persecuted and having his own privacy violated for many years by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. Gallagher’s speech to the American Bar Association in 1967, titled “Technology and Freedom,” was quite striking in its predictive accuracy. It included the following, partially adapted from the statement of Professor Arthur Miller at the Senate hearings that same year:

Although the technology of computerization has raised new horizons of progress, it also brings with it grave dangers.… The computer, with its insatiable appetite for information, its image of infallibility, its inability to forget anything that has been put into it, may become the heart of a surveillance system that will turn society into a transparent world in which our home, our finances, our associations, our mental and physical condition are laid bare to the most casual observer. If information is power, then real power and its inherent threat to the Republic will not rest in some elected officials or Army generals, but in a few overzealous members of a bureaucratic elite.

The final report from the House Committee was clear about the links between data privacy and democracy: “A suffocating sense of surveillance, represented by instantaneously retrievable, derogatory or noncontextual data, is not an atmosphere in which freedom can long survive,” the authors wrote. “This report, therefore, charges the Federal Government as well as the computer community with a dual responsibility.… They must … guarantee Americans that the tonic of high speed information handling does not contain a toxic which will kill privacy.” The committee further noted that the dangers of unauthorized access to information was great, and “a grave threat to the constitutional guarantees exists in the National Data Bank concept,” leading to their emphasis on prioritizing privacy in the center’s eventual design and implementation. However, the committee’s ultimate recommendation was to stop working on the National Data Bank until privacy protections were fully explored and guaranteed “to the greatest extent possible to the citizens whose personal records would form its information base.” Once again linking privacy to politics, the authors emphasized, “While computerized data bases hold great promise, they must contain procedures which can assure the continuation of freedom of thought and action that is such a vital part of the American tradition. The collection and processing of statistical data should not and need not be gained by sacrificing the guiding principles of our democracy.”

At the same time, the reporting in the popular press was highly alarmist. One representative article in Look magazine titled “The Computer Data Bank: Will It Kill Your Freedom?” posed various questions that could easily be answered by “any snooper with a computer,” such as, “Did your sister have an illegitimate baby when she was 15? Did you fail math in junior high? Are you divorced or living in a common-law relationship? Do you pay your bills promptly? Are you willing to talk to salesmen? Have you been treated for a venereal disease? Are you visiting a psychiatrist? Were you ever arrested?” Chairman Gallagher was quoted in the same article, warning, “Computer data banks are at the same stage of development as the early railroads and the first telephone companies, which took a number of years to link themselves together in a nationwide network. Welfare departments, credit bureaus, hospitals, police departments and dozens of other institutions are putting their files into hundreds of relatively small data centers. No matter what you call them, they’re still data centers, and they can be linked.” The public uproar in response to all these developments led to National Data Bank discussions and debate being shut down by 1970.

Unfortunately, it would be a pyrrhic victory. The focus on protecting public data from the perceived dangers of centralized state collection and storage blinded legislators to the problems created by the solution: putting data in the hands of private companies. Corporations ultimately filled the vacuum created by the National Data Bank’s failure, and became the chief custodians of U.S. citizens’ private data. As the historian Margaret O’Mara has argued, these decisions actually created the very problem they were trying to prevent. “The privacy warriors of the 1960s would have been astounded by what the tech industry has become. They would be more amazed to realize that the policy choices they made back then — to demand data transparency rather than limit data collection, and to legislate the behavior of government but not private industry — enabled today’s tech giants to become as large and powerful as they are.” The congressional attempt to defend US citizens from experiencing “big brother” and the world as imagined in Orwell’s “1984,” which were mentioned relentlessly during the hearings, ended up creating exactly what they were trying to avoid, albeit serving a different master. This is not to suggest that government control over public data is preferable, but instead to emphasize that private control without regulatory oversight has proven to be undeniably disastrous for individual and collective privacy, and a signature failure of contemporary cloud policy. To his credit, Senator Long (D-MO) who presided over the Senate hearings in 1966 and 1967 did warn that if the proposals for a National Data Bank “concerned themselves only with Government interests, and if individual, private interests were ignored, we might be creating a form of Frankenstein monster,” but his words went unheeded.

The report of the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare’s Advisory Committee on Automated Personal Data Systems, 1973.

The cultural tensions around surveillance lingered, as evident in the 1973 report, Records, Computers, and the Rights of Citizens, put out by the Secretary’s Advisory Committee of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. This report was about computerized record-keeping, privacy safeguards, and the issue of the social security number. It is a stunning document that catalogs record-keeping practices going back to the Stone Age through the advent of automated systems. It included similar work on computerized record-keeping and privacy being done in Canada, Great Britain, and Sweden. The report also newly identified citizens as “data subjects,” emphasizing privacy safeguards and the individual’s loss of control over the use of their personal data. In so doing, this 1973 report predicted many of the problems created by Big Tech business models, arguing that concerns about computerized records usually center on privacy, particularly as “privacy is considered to entail control by an individual over the uses made of information about him. In many circumstances in modern life an individual must either surrender some of that control or forego the services that an organization provides. Although there is nothing inherently unfair in trading some measure of privacy for a benefit, both parties to the exchange should participate in setting the terms.”

The report also recommended a federal “Code of Fair Information Practice,” which contained principles for transparency, autonomy over one’s personal data, and safeguard requirements regarding data usage by third parties. None of these recommendations were adopted at the time. However, they went on to inform future agency recommendations and early privacy legislation such as the Privacy Act of 1974, which was enacted in the wake of President Nixon’s resignation. And yet, as O’Mara has pointed out, much of this legislation concentrated on the right to know about what information that federal databases held, but none of it “addressed the question of whether this information should have been gathered in the first place.” The 1974 act did not stop data collection, it merely revealed how much of it was taking place on the federal level. According to historian and author Sarah Igo, despite being “designed to empower citizens vis-à-vis the record keepers, the law would wind up stoking fears that the United States had become a full-fledged surveillance society in which individuals were outmatched from the outset.”

The 1974 act did not stop data collection, it merely revealed how much of it was taking place on the federal level.

These widespread concerns at the dawn of the computerized era led to yet another round of hearings in the Senate in 1975. This time the focus was on “surveillance technology,” as news had emerged about the Pentagon’s surveillance of Vietnam War protestors, and journalists exposed the Johnson and Nixon administrations for utilizing a computerized, networked domestic spy operation that, the report stated, linked “the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, more than 20 universities, and a dozen research centers, like the Rand Corporation.” Echoing the foreboding words of Frank Church issued just a month earlier, Chairman John Tunney (R-CA) opened the hearings saying, “Technological developments are arriving so rapidly and are changing the nature of our society so fundamentally that we are in danger of losing the capacity to shape our own destiny.” He further stated that “control over the technology of surveillance conveys effective control over our privacy, our freedom, and our dignity — in short, control over the most meaningful aspects of our lives as free human beings.” MIT President Jerome Wiesner testified that the surveillance problem had become a crisis because “information technology puts vastly more power into the hands of government and private interests that have the resources to use it” and “to the degree that the Constitution meant for power to be in the hands of the ‘governed,’ widespread collection of personal information poses a threat to the Constitution itself.” Ultimately, Weiser argued that there is “serious danger of creating an ‘information tyranny’ in the innocent pursuit of a more efficient society.” The committee echoed his tone, raising alarm that the “continued ignorance of surveillance technology — its size and structure as a separate industry, the justifications for its growth, its impact on society — could prove to be an Orwellian catastrophe for our privacy and our freedoms.” As it turned out, all of these fears were well-founded. These proceedings contained vital warnings and lessons for the future of cloud policy that have since been lost to history.

In the end, history is always our best teacher. If cloud policy has taught us anything, it is that the same legal and cultural struggles will await the next critical infrastructural technology and the one after that — until the issues they represent are widely understood as those necessary to defend civil liberties and the health and vitality of democracy, and they are regulated accordingly. Sadly, most citizens remain unaware, uninterested, or unsure of what to do about our current predicament. This is in part attributable to a lack of public education about the issues and stakes of cloud policy, to impoverished and compromised political leadership, and to the poor quality of media coverage about the regulation of cloud infrastructure. In turn, the breakdown of public values in this policy domain has snowballed at a truly alarming rate — bringing us ever closer to the “abyss from which there is no return” that we were warned about so many years ago.

Back up data: Ensure all important data is backed up to a cloud server or external drive before packing computers.

Use original packaging: If possible, pack electronic devices in their original boxes, which are designed for maximum protection.

Wrap monitors and screens: Use anti-static bubble wrap to cushion monitors and tape down any loose parts. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of delicate equipment.

6. Organize Files and Documents

Managing files and documents efficiently is crucial during an office relocation, especially for businesses handling sensitive information.

Pack files in order: Keep files organized by department or project. Use labeled file boxes or cabinets with lockable drawers to secure important documents.

Digitize where possible: Consider digitizing documents to reduce the amount of paper that needs to be moved.

Secure sensitive information: For documents that contain confidential information, use secure, tamper-proof containers.

7. Designate an “Essentials” Box

Prepare a box with the most critical items that will need to be accessed as soon as you arrive at the new office.

Include essential IT equipment: Pack routers, modems, and other network-related devices in the essentials box for immediate setup.

Office supplies: Include pens, notepads, and other basic supplies so employees can start working as soon as they arrive.

Key documents: Keep important contracts, leases, or legal documents in a separate, easily accessible box.

8. Hire Professional Movers for Specialized Items

Some office items, such as large printers, servers, or valuable art pieces, may require professional handling.

Seek expert movers: Hire experienced office relocation professionals who specialize in packing and transporting high-value or sensitive items.

Ensure insurance coverage: Make sure your movers offer insurance to cover any potential damage during transit.

9. Plan for Unpacking and Setup

Efficient unpacking is just as important as packing when it comes to resuming normal business operations quickly.

Coordinate with IT: Have your IT team arrive at the new location early to set up the network and workstations.

Unpack by priority: Start by unpacking critical equipment first, such as IT systems, followed by furniture and office supplies.

Check inventory: Cross-reference the packed items with your inventory list to ensure everything has arrived safely.

A successful office relocation in Abu Dhabi starts with careful packing. By following these practical tips, you can protect your valuable office equipment, ensure efficient unpacking, and minimize downtime. Whether you're handling the move yourself or working with professional movers, proper packing will help you transition smoothly to your new office space.

Find the right Elearning developer job in India

ELearning is any type of digital content that provides educational instruction or training and takes place through digital media such as computers or mobile devices. This type of learning allows students to access course materials from any location at any time. Although eLearning is based on formalized learning, it is provided through electronic devices such as computers, tablets and even cellular phones that are connected to the internet. Basically, eLearning is training, learning, or education delivered online through a computer or any other digital device. E-learning can also be termed as a network enabled transfer of skills and knowledge. E-Learning Recruitment Agency in India can help in this regard. The introduction of computers was the basis of this revolution and with the passage of time, as we get hooked to smart phones, tablets, etc; these devices now have an importance place in the classrooms for learning. Books are gradually getting replaced by electronic educational materials like optical discs or pen drives. For adults, online learning often manages to solve the numerous challenges adult learners face during studies. Online learning allows them to progress at their own pace, to submit assignments and take assessments at times best suited for them. This kind of flexibility is especially beneficial for adult learners because often they are forced to balance employment, family duties and online learning altogether.
