My dear... more and more political is posted at GitHub... and there's so much hope... this won't result in even more service penalties eventually...

Yes, it's been accused by Microsoft, and yes it has been having issues since then, including the unstable uptime, but... it's still the awesome GitHub... with an ineffably magnificent history to care for I believe...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's influential people talking to each other. If they don't go, they're missing out.

What exactly are they missing out on?

Connections, insider information, possibility to pitch your projects to very wealthy people etc.

Jens Spahn. Interesting for all Germans.

If I remember correctly, Spahn is also member of other orgs related to the US, i. e. Atlantik-Brücke e. V.

It’s certainly interesting as he seems to be the only German member of Dialog. It makes me question if these kind of "memberships" make it (partially) possible for him to be in the position he is in now. Otherwise it’s questionable to me how he can stay in power despite being the person he is.

Peter Attia figured heavily in a certain recent document dump, so I’m not surprised to see him swimming in these circles.

Tim Ferris is an interesting one to me. Feels like an outlier attendee but maybe he will be part of consent manufacturing for whatever is talked about here

As someone with a long-time interest in Tim Ferriss I’d say he’ll probably go most places he’s invited out of pure curiosity. He’s also attended TED and has been in many VC spaces so it’s not surprising that someone (maybe even Thiel himself) would invite him

Well, this finally proves that Kasparov is a mole and not really an opposition leader in any real sense of the word.

Would you like help expressing a complete sentence? If a human won't do, a free LLM is available at chat.com. If that one won't do, there's others available.

Optionality. The power available to any one person to do anything in society is directly proportional to their genuine connections to others, even if brief.

Meetups in person with real connections happening (even if brief) create so many new possibilities for those in attendance.

The disappearance of in-person meetups (especially among developers) in the US after Covid is a tragedy - so much could be happening that is not.

The Manifesto for Agile Software Development only happened because a group of developers met up in person. They disagreed about nearly everything, but what they agreed about changed the industry.
