Usenet personality by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Ciro Santilli does the same via Google searches and Twitter/Reddit searches for himself, you can't invent anything new nowadays:
Kibo was known for his high-volume but thoughtful posts, but achieved Usenet celebrity circa 1991 by writing a small script to grep his entire Usenet feed for instances of his name, and then answering personally whenever and wherever he was mentioned, giving the illusion that he was personally reading the entire feed.
Secret service by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-26
A memorable quote from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy:
Haydon [the Soviet mole] also took it for granted that secret services were the only real measure of a nation's political health, the only real expression of its subconscious.
One of the most beautiful things is how they paywall even public domain works. E.g. here: www.nature.com/articles/119558a0 was published in 1927, and is therefore in the public domain as of 2023. But it is of course just paywalled as usual throughout 2023. There is zero incentive for them to open anything up.

Short for Doctor of Philosophy, it's how some weird places like the University of Oxford say PhD. In Oxford they also analogously say MPHil.
