And it's said a descendant of Reed Smoot of Smoot-Hawley terrible tariff infamy, and at least at MIT doing a good job of rehabilitating the family name.

I haven't got Yosemite, yet, but I wonder what happens when you disable api.smoot.apple.com (say via /etc/hosts)?

I disabled both Spotlight Suggestions and Bing yet Spotlight -- via SpotlightNetHelper -- still attempts to connect to api.smoot.apple.com:443 and wu.apple.com:80.

Same URL to block for both though, apparently: api.smoot.apple.com.

> Tom Barclay, Robert Eberl, Jim Gray, John Nordlinger, Guru Raghavendran, Don Slutz, Greg Smith, Phil Smoot Microsoft Research and Development a number of those folks went on to build some impressively large scale services.

This is ominous, what if this is remembered as the equivalent of Smoot-Hawley?

I suppose you could then put a tariff wall around the country, but historically that hasn't worked out well (Smoot-Hawley).

No libraries of congress per fortnight (yet), but it does recogize Smoot.

No one really knows the exact trigger, but a popular opinion seems to be that the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act made it worse -although even that is debated.

Smoot-Hawley was "letting things stabilize"?

In 1930 we had yet to see a lot of the government policies that turned that recession into The Depression, including the Hawley-Smoot Tariff.

"Sydney’s mother, Jennifer Smoot, said she helped her daughter with the speech but the 9-year-old wrote most of it."...yeah, I'm sure.

I'd walk into Physics 7A at the beginning of the semester with wide-eyed admiration for the teaching staff, undisguised interest to learn all about Townes's lasers, Smoot's universe, etc., and a wild wondering of "when can I do that stuff?" Then I'd get put in my place by the first few homeworks.

I don't understand how people think that the policy during 1929-1933 was "do nothing" when the following things occurred during that time period: Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, Glass-Steagall Act, the Federal Home Loan Bank Act, the Emergency Relief and Construction Act, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the Hoover Dam(!), and more.
