I’m reading “Turing’s Cathedral,” by George Dyson, and I’m struck by this bit. Von Neumann was working on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos, and returned home to tell his wife that he was terrified by the monster they had created. But that “monster” wasn’t the bomb, but computers.

Do you know why you won't find any mention anywhere on the W3C website of #web3? It does not exist. BOOM! There is one web.
@sonder excellent!
I’m also going to do the same now re:work, but hope my wife doesn’t do the same re:husband.

NEW: Elon Musk fired a top engineer over his declining view counts.
Plus the reason the site went down yesterday, fears about an upcoming FTC audit, and more, and more.

@emilygorcenski it’s funny, mine has never stopped (Astro tweets (sun set / sun rise etc) generated at about 6/day)

@fbz yes, it’s called a plaster-cast, then you cast that and you have the original shape.
I’ve done that as a kid for taking casts of (animal) footprints. (The final object can be painted in glue and you then dust it with sand)

It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
It was the combination best of times and worst of times
@mjg59 I’m running 1Gbps on a 20m of CAT5 with dodgy ends I manually crimped back in 1999 (with the TPairs incorrectly paired).
I don’t know how this is working (and to test, I have pushed about 300MB/s down it but I can’t source or sink more than that with the devices I have.)

Previous place I lived my ISP was so low on IPv4 that it wasn't one IPv4 per customer - the entire building was CGNed behind a single IPv4. There was port isolation, so I just skipped bothering with any NAT locally and just bridged my AP to the WAN link and everything just got an internal IP from the ISP's DHCP server. A year or so later, they got acquired by Google and had a whole bunch of IPv4 space available, and suddenly my lightswitches were on the public internet.

'Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle could be one of the most serious storms to hit New Zealand this century - WeatherWatch'
Just a week after epic flooding in Auckland. Between that and this storm the Auckland mayor managed to cancel some climate change mitigation measures. Genius.
#NewZealand cant keep hiding its head in the climate sand.

Nintendo’s CEO recently said “If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease” and is instead doing the opposite by raising pay to address inflation.
Some leaders are built different.

It's not one of the main time machine destinations but I think it would be pretty tight to pop over to november 13, 1833, and check out the leonid meteor shower, which hit an estimated 100,000 meteors per hour at its peak
