Companies should treat user data as toxic waste rather than as something they want to gather and hoard for business models like targeted advertising. It's not a good thing to have a bunch of sensitive data which could be obtained by adversaries or requested by a government.

@JennyList @trans_rescue I'd buy one if I can get a zero ohm version. Say £20?

finally, an acceptable contact method

every handmade sign has a story behind it

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him.

Went out. Had a few drinks. Nice guy. He's a web designer.

Specialises in debugging.

The new Starbucks CEO, Brian Niccol, is going to commute to the office 3 days a week by private jet.

Don't forget to take your reusable cup to the coffee shop!

For those who did not receive the last memo:

THE VOID is for screaming.

THE ABYSS is for staring.

Please do not scream into THE ABYSS. And under no circumstances should you ever stare into THE VOID.

That is all.

The mysteries of life, a story in two parts

I need help with an English word. A story told as a series of individual points of view, like Akira Kurosawa’s, Ran. Or in some wasys the book Dracula, but Dracula is just epistolary. There’s a literary term for this, right?

[edit] Not Ran (which is also a great film) RASHOMON! I composed this post after a long week of 12+ hour days on a tight deadline. I’m mortified! 😂

So no, the term I am looking for is not the Rashomon effect. I think I want there to be a term for this. Maybe I’m delirious.

I mean in some ways being up there is safer than the ground, where Boeing assassins live.

It surely can't be a coincidence that Alexander the Great and Kermit the Frog share the same middle name.

Friend: What do you play games on?
Me: I play games on a switch!

Huh.

So, just now I learned that you can convert miles to kilometers with the Fibonacci sequence?

A mile is 1.609 kilometers.

The Golden Ratio, the ratio between Fibonacci numbers as they get large, is 1.618.

So, within about 1%. And large doesn't need to be that large, it's actually pretty accurate from about 8 onwards.

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc etc

5 miles is 8 km.
21 miles is 34 km.
89 miles is 144 km.

etc etc.

Kinda neat IMO.

I run a small tech startup. Was struggling to get second round investment, so we rebranded everything with AI this and AI that. Investors suddenly falling over themselves to give us money. We don't, and never will, use AI for anything in our company or products we sell.

They say big trucks are just a reality if you want to make deliveries in the city.

I say there's other ways to solve the "last-mile" problem...

There's your beer kegs—sorted.

The past year has been amazing. From marriage, to Pwn2Own to a Pwnie Award, I'm so grateful. I'm using the money I've won from hacking competitions, bounties, & RB for two ppl to travel & attend Hexacon, the premier offensive security con in Paris, France.
