This makes me a little sad, but its so true. I went ahead and looked through my call log and it was about 80% spam for the last month, would've been higher but I did a bunch of back and forth with an insurance company.

Why hasn't someone tried to bring back that "do not call list" law, seems like a no-brainer?

Scammers trying to get you to send them gift cards are not honoring a "Do not call" list.

The information is also missing for frame rate interpolation or upscaling, but I think there’s more of a case to be made for those than for color.

I don’t love them, but they’re lesser offenders than colorization.
Yeah if it were a film about high speed weaving or something interpolation could be an issue since you'd be adding or excluding relevant info. For something like this there's not going to be anything meaningfully missing between frames so you're just making it easier on the eyes. Upscaling on this though, the cloth is a big focus so potentially faking in an innacurate texture is another can of worms.

Also lest we forget:

If we have to throw out all secondary sources that hold an anachronistic or alternate culture bias we're not going to have a lot of popular history left. This doesn't mean AI colorations are cool and good especially if they are punted into Twitter as check out my sick restoration. But non-biased secondary works is a bar nothing will ever meet including professional colorizers and even every body's favorite Prokudin-Gorsky pictures.

Like most secondary historical works the subtlety is in prefacing your work with your methods.

The FCC's working towards fixing this issue, and has gained some traction this year in doing so.

A lot of the scam calls you see are through VOIP lines from outside of the country that use gateway providers. These gateway providers are usually given carte blanche to access the phone networks, with a somewhat lengthy process to report and remove scam calls that originate from these providers. Obviously for money reasons, the gateway companies feign ignorance or drag their feet in terms of dealing with the ungodly amount of scam calls that flood through their lines.

Recently, however, the FCC ramped up their pressure on the gateway providers along with companies within the US that are exploiting spoofing to provide unsolicited phonecalls, including a $225 million dollar fine to a pair of Texas companies. In addition, the FCC set a deadline for June of 2022 to force smaller VOIP providers to implement the STIR/SHAKEN identification system, with a few notable lovely companies being given far more stringent timelines. Iirc, it was something like 3 days to kick the scammers off their lines or the FCC would clear the telecoms to blacklist the providers, effectively destroying their business.

Still, not as much mobility as I'd hope - I wish they'd advance the timeline and start kicking the lovely companies off the network entirely.

I didn't understand how important the history of textiles were to history in general and how older civilizations functioned (including why the production of textiles was usually "women's work") until I read this series of blog posts by a historian going over how raw materials were turned into cloth in the ancient world (a process that really didn't see radical changes until industrialization in the late 18th/early 19th century). The process of making cloth (not even clothes, just the cloth itself) was insanely labor intensive before mechanization! It's a little bit long (5 lengthy posts) but it's well worth a read if you have any interest in history or economics.
