So my daughter will take her first solo international trip tomorrow. She’s the current #IEEE region 3 student representative (kind of a family tradition, I was the rep for region 8 back in my student days). IEEE has 10 worldwide regions and they all meet in person at least once a year. This time, it’ll be in Panama City. Good thing she has a German passport to fall back on if the Panamaians get too pissed at the US. I’m excited for her. Should be a fun trip.

#TIL about one of the many potentially important standards reports that seem to have been pushed onto the backburner by the pandemic.;

"The report, Ethically Aligned Design, was released today by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It is the culmination of a year's work by 250 world leaders in technology, law, social science, business and government spanning six continents."
