@tschaefer suppose I work for an internet service provider (ISP). Do you have any advice on what an ISP should be doing to help IPv6 adoption? I have the impression that everybody is blaming others for the slow adoption, it's always someone else's fault and therefore little gets done. If an individual ISP were to look at its own part, what should the ISP do?
The fact that what you are saying is very important makes it even more difficult to persuade them, because the consequences of you being right would be too heavy, too hard to take in.
They would need to accept that their way of life is stupid and that they need to fundamentally change. Nobody wants to change, it's so much easier to keep living as usual.
I'm not sure if I managed to explain this, but do you see roughly what I mean?

> Why?
It's an interesting and important question.
I don't think it's that it's too abstract as you suggested, I think it's more about that what you are telling them, it they accepted it, would be such a huge change in their world view.
We humans have a very strong tendency to stick to our beliefs. When confronted with something that turns our world upside down we do almost anything to avoid our worldview collapsing. It's like being told you live in the matrix.

Attempt at networking post!
Hi! I would love to meet and talk to more people in #dataScience #statistics #stats #pydata #dataViz etc etc
I have a Phd in #appliedMath and I work in #productAnalytics
I attend my local American Statistical Assoc meetings sometimes, but they are rare.
I also helped start an R User Group once, (but haven't used R in more than 10 years), and ran a Big Data reading group in #pdx

@nenne@mastodon.nu hur gick det med insändaren?
@fantomtexter ah, vilken besvikelse.
Tyvärr måste jag meddela att det dessutom är så att när någon är drogfri betyder det INTE att hen är fri att ta vilka droger hen vill.

Note also that the "download the ticket to a smartphone" part most often means you must surrender to either Google or Apple. If you do not want to be a Apple/Google customer, then you cannot buy a ticket. To be free is not an option if you want to get a ticket.

OpenAI threatening to leave the EU if they pass legislation requiring them to list their data sources because:
"In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges."
Like every other boom tech company, it's just doing labor crimes and theft and claiming you're actually too innovative to be regulated, God.
@Mojeek good advice from Mithrandir

@krm jag tror det är något med att man nuförtiden gärna ser sig som en kund hela tiden, man är som en kund som ska välja och vraka och är man inte nöjd så går man nån annan stans. Det är inte riktigt friskt när det är en annan människa man pratar med, men det har blivit så idag tror jag, att folk beter sig så.
@wotsac how about showing some common decency in relation to your fellow human beings?
Pause for a moment, take a breath and think about what you are doing.
Bullying is not good.
Treat others as you would like others to treat you.
