Kinternet Part 2

 Instead of Chromebooks, you go one step down, and just have a built-in browser.  It is keyed with encryption to a server machine that runs ChromeOS.  There is no way to break this.  

My one worry was 'interception' by creeps pretending to be kids.  This is quite simple, since you put the whole onus of registration on the kids and the schools.  We would also have a phone-like portable tablet.  Most likely you would just have larger and smaller tablets.

The Kinternet Universe should not be a dull leftie paradise.  This is the difficult part, since education is all lefties and they like to control everything.  Educators would patrol the area, but we must allow some freedom to make mistakes and then be corrected for it.  Lefties, like that federal minister, like to over-control and forget the consequences.  Anyway, all the shouting would be about this world.

You could have a kid-friendly fortnight thing, with avatars.  No money, no credit cards.  The Scientific Method would look at the usefulness of the education, marks, etc.  Self-starting is vital.  No political propaganda hammering.  This really is 'milk toast' like the googs gaming system, but I hope it would be fun.

The way around it, is for the cool kid, of divorced parents, to bring in a loaded iphone to school.  This would be treated like a gun.  You can easily tell by all the kids crowded around it.  It's quite simple to make it a crime to give a loaded iphone to a kid.  It's like cannabis!

The SM approach is to make a hypothesis that the kids will be better off.  You need to show that with measurements.  Using pure SM, you are immune to influencers who think an El Nino is on the way.  I don't know if that is possible.  However, it is technically possible, keeping the cost down to 2 years per kid.

The main savings will be to use the second-grade chips and processors on the racks of the data centre.  The super-duper stuff goes to AI.  My tiny AMD computer is sufficient.  Millions of these could be in a used data centre.  No new building is required.  Live off the stuff the AI crowd throws away.

- finished.

ps I was thinking of the early railroads with spaghetti rail line everywhere, all different gauges.  The money is in building the stations.   

ps we can avoid propaganda by leaving that to the schools, and treat this as a resource centre.  Out of work librarians can curate it.

Kid Internet as Prosperity for Canada - Yeah for Kinternet!

 Kid Internet or Kinternet could turn into an Ottawa LRT for the whole country.  Boy, would Alberta be howling if we had a Universal Internet Gun Registry, making the assumption that every person using the Internet is a criminal.  That would shave 5% annually off our GDP.  

But, if we do it right, then it's lots of money for Canada, and Alberta is happy.  Look at kids around the world, they have problems with being wealth creators.  At least all our young people go to California, along with the Indians, and create trillions.  All those big Internet and computer companies got to be billion-types without any regard to social costs.  Does MS pay for endless exploits?  Does FB pay for ripping out privacy?  Will AI pay for suicides?  Not in the US.

In Canada, we must find a way to make this sort of money, and be able to sleep at night.  Hundreds of other countries want some money without total collapse of morals.  They try to do it by hammering their kids, but that takes all the 'animal spirits' out of them, and they all become Singapore.  

The first thing is to adapt the 'Scientific Method' with experiments and measurements.  That's the California way.  We don't need 'Influencer Science' led by lefties.  A famous leftie said of the Niagara Tunnel "It's worth it at any cost."  Since it was never used, you would add "And at any level of success, even it is zero"  That's the Ottawa LRT.

We should stay out of the AI Data Centre game.  That's like early railroad building with 10 different track widths.  Let the Big Guys destroy themselves on that.  We sneak under, and use rejected data centres.  These old guys can't put out the heat, and hold the iron of the AI centres.  Although AI doesn't mind destroying the world over time, like MS, they are stopping production of new models that instantly destroy the world.  We're talking Mythos 5 here, and what will it do for us?

Kinternet is a bold idea that will put Canada into the world with existing data centres.  It is so fabulous that I am pausing here, in order to glory in my idea.  I know you new readers are dying to hear about it, but that's me.  I live on coffees.

Taking the kids off the Internet

 

I love it when a plan is impossible.  They are going for age verification, as though that can't be hacked.  The essence of the Internet is that it can't be censored.  

I liked the concept of the Google proxy machines when they had them for games.  It all died because you can't cheat, and the greedy game sellers wanted more money.  The whole graphics market was driven by game advantage (cheating), until AI took everything.

I would propose that one of those data centres be turned over to proxy Internet.  Then phones and laptops could only connect through these, for kids.  A bit of parental responsibility is needed here, but 'universal access machines' could only be sold like booze.

Busy moms could not hand over their iphones.  Any obvious leakage could be investigated.  The whole thing would be ten times cheaper than sending 'truant officers' to check ages.  The age thing would need 100% registration of everybody, including me.  It can't be done.  The proxies would have basic graphics ability, so no complex shooting games.  All the privacy stealers would be shut out.  Let's do it!

ps slimy bald drunk guy could push this as a data centre for Alberta.

ps left a comment on Geist.  Nobody listens to him, either.

ps  It's neat you apply the Scientific Method and solid measurements to this.  If you don't then everything crashes by smart comments.  People will find a million-to-one exception and use this to tear things down.  One will be 'cost per kid', including general economic damage.  Remember that the lefties think money grows on trees.  If they try to do a 'Universal tracking of everybody card' we might as well just dig a hole and crawl into it.  The cost per kid should be limited to about 2 years of education.
