Treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen.

Listen son, ‘n’ listen’ close. If it flies, floats, or computes, rent it.

I dunno, man. I don’t think the NT kernel is open source, is it?

“Oh Bernard, you mustn’t confuse the minister with such matters! Speed is distance over time, and the civil service has long wanted to redefine time…”

No RAM. Only ROM.

Oh, hi Jeff!

Keep the black side down and ATGATT.

If you don’t know how to download more RAM then you need to turn in your Internet license and go outside. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

So the new Mac Mini can do more than most people need for a cheaper price than most people would expect.

Sounds awesome!

If America wants to compete with China, it must fund its engines of commerce.

High speed rail must link every major city. How can businesses make deals without cheap public transport to connect people?

Startups need to focus on innovation. Healthcare plans are a distraction. Full single-payer healthcare is essential if American businesses are to stay innovative.

Were I a VC intellectual I would demand these heretical ideas and more. Somehow I doubt they’d go down well - they’re the wrong sort of heracy.

The things to look up are Beta Israel (a lost tribe who were discovered in Ethiopia) and Operation Solomon (how they wound up in Israel). From there, you might find some answers from Israeli sources or elsewhere. I’ve similarly heard this assertion/rumour that the women of Beta Israel were sterilised after their incredible discovery and rescue, but haven’t seen authoritative sources for either side. Still, this should be an interesting rabbit hole to go down.

I just feel sorry for him at this point. Not as much as I feel sorry for America, but I do feel sorry for him. When he dies, he will die not having known the best things in life. No true love, no actual friends, no peace. Money has not bought him happiness. Maybe he was born into a prison of his family’s making, but all he’s done is build up the walls and seal the doors. He’s a tragic, pitiful character rather than a beacon of strength or success.

Erm, make sure you put him in an actual prison too, though. Good luck, Yanks, your tea-drinking cousins still want the best for you despite everything 🇬🇧

We worked so hard to build a little house together 🎶

Pictures for Sad Children was a great webcomic. Thank you for posting these.

Install the Aurora Watch app and set it to notify you when the odds are high. That’s how I saw it last night!

What I really need is a droid who speaks the binary language of moisture vaporators.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

Bye, Melania!

That was my first thought as well. I thought I’d try the first 10 minutes to get a sense of it.

Anyway, four hours later…

It’s not safe to be where the cats change colour.

There are two main types of data retention policy:

• Retain everything to protect the company when the staff do something dodgy.
• Delete everything to protect management when management do something dodgy.

It’s a little more nuanced than that, of course, but in broad strokes that’s how I’ve seen it play out. Does the company want to pin the blame on somebody or shrug and say “we have no idea how that can have happened, guess we need to forget about it.”
