Great, now we need this with current data for modern governments
While pardoning thanksgiving turkeys, president was bitten by one of the turkeys. Very bad omen.

#12This is the definition of a nerd snipe for me. I’ve been binging a Korean YouTuber called Hyangachi(향아치)who goes into Joseon dynasty history in a very approachable way for younger generation and I’ve been researching observability dashboard for my side projects. I didn’t even think about combining the two. Joseon dynasty was obsessed with preserving history. Not even the king could interfere with it. In fact, a king…
Yes, that horse story is perfect. One of the things I love about the Sillok is that even the king wasn’t above the record. Kings were educated to think their conduct would be judged by history, and then you get this very human little entry where the king basically says “don’t log this,” and the system logs that too.

#13If you have a dashboard that you trust and it notifies you that you have the mandate of heaven, what do you do? Buy a lottery ticket? Make an indecent proposal to someone out of your league? Drive without a seatbelt? Is this actionable intelligence? Do I still have to floss?

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
I just made the connection to why they had a scene like that in a Korean show on Netflix, cool
I think it's this one: Rookie Historian Goo Hae-Ryung. It's on Netflix, the Korean series about a Joseon-era scribe for the royal house.
That’s a good one btw

#18The data comes from the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty. https://sillok.history.go.kr/intro/english.do I'm browsing it. Wow, there's so much detail, like: 己酉二月, 世宗講武于平康, 世祖射鹿, 七發皆貫其項。 기유년 2월에 세종이 평강(平康)에서 강무(講武)를 하였는데, 세조가 사슴을 쏜 7발(發)이 모두 그 목을 관통하였다. "In the second lunar month of the giyu year, King Sejong held a military drill (gangmu) at Pyeonggang. Sejo shot seven arrows at a deer, and all of them pierced…
Feel like there should be a K-drama about that deer lol.
