Whether that's accurate or not, the main thing that matters to me is the loss of legitimacy of the Iranian dictatorship no longer representing their citizens. In the last year they've killed an order of magnitude more of their own people than we have.

I saw the resistance to solid state technology in full force as I was going through school. Yet we're talking about the late 60's early 70's. Considering that the first all transistor computer was put together in 1952, well before I was born, that's some serious time lag. There were tube radios being made well into the 70's.

Oh yeah, in the 70s some analog stuff was clearly better than the solid state. Core memory was persistent without power. CDs didn't come out until the 80s. Those were beautiful things.

it feels like we have collective amnesia. Now we're in the sixth or eighth cycle of this — and shouldn't we be asking questions

In the sixth or eighth cycle, it's not amnesia, it's [bureaucrats|politicians|administrators|someoneWithPower] benefiting in some way.

Sometimes these schools actually get grant money, and then the benefit is obvious. I assume that's not always the case, though.
