Starfield End of the Year Update As 2023 comes to an end, we look back on what players have been up to in the Settled Systems and forward to what is coming in 2024.

Meanwhile, Starfield had 13 million players in its first 3 months... bethesda.net/en/game/star...

YouTube video by Apollo 11 - Apollo Flight Journal Apollo 11: The Complete Descent

Every year on this day I watch two videos.

The first is the recording of the Apollo 11 descent.

The second is the song Go by Public Service Broadcasting about the landing.

I’m so happy this show is back with a new season 3! It’s been fifteen years since the last new episode. “Welcome to Earth, population zero.” 😂 www.history.com/shows/life-a...

Thank you for responding!

YouTube video by L. R. Lewis Johnny Cash - Ragged Old Flag

Happy Independence Day. Do yourself a favor and watch Johnny Cash recite his Ragged Old Flag. I was in the audience for this in 1993, with my Georgetown summer program classmates, just prior to my senior year at the Air Force Academy. youtu.be/Vgpp0V7sDbE?...

Thanks for your reporting. Do you know if this sci-fi MMO had anything to do with Starfield?

Happy birthday Ulysses S Grant, born this day in 1822 as Hiram Ulysses Grant. He adopted the name US Grant because his Congressional rep provided incorrect info to West Point. His classmates saw US on his paperwork and nicknamed him Sam, from Uncle Sam.

How Weakness in the Social Safety Net Undermines the Political Compact in China View PDF

Is the point also that the Chinese don’t have a strong social safety net? Because that’s the reality. 🤦‍♂️ www.hudson.org/economics/ho...

@stephankesting.bsky.social great interview with Tyson Larone. Heard your offer to buy Rise and Fall for anyone who can’t afford Kindle version. LMK if you had any takers. I will fund the first $100 you spend. Can send $ online.

Mrs B just became a member after reading this too. I think this could be a big win for them.

Oh I agree. I was just sharing some data. My numbers don’t justify a $100 base price. I like keeping an inflation adjusted price or lower, and having higher tiers for those who want to splurge.

I 💯 get the concern about wage stagnation. However, we’re talking about completely disposable income here, not housing, clothing, transportation, medical care, etc.

FWIW… GTA 3 was $50 in Oct 2001, or $89 today. GTA 4 was $60 in April 2008, or $88 today. GTA 5 was $60 in Sep 2013, or $81 today. You could charge $80 and still be below all inflation adjusted prices.

Happy birthday TaoSecurity Blog, born on this day in 2003!The best way to digest the key lessons from the site is to browse my four volume Best of TaoSecurity Blog book series. amzn.to/4h6Lqlb #ad Each is a theme-centric collection of posts w/new commentary for each entry. taosecurity.blogspot.com

I love how the covers of the original Star Wars movie adaptation played loose and fast with the actual plot. This is issue 6, wrapping up the movie.

How about that? 1111 straight days reading in the Kindle, which is a little more than 3 years. I’d have over 6 years if not for some Kindle snafu 1111 days ago that caused me to have to start my streak again. 😆

It’s good. It’s like Star Wars meets ET.

Are you watching SC too? I was skeptical before watching but now I love it.

I love Silo. I still need to start season 2.

My @nhlbruins played their first game 100 years ago today. Here’s to another 100 years!

Sounds good 👏

This sticker from #cyberwarcon is on point.

TL;DR: the two leading incident response companies, #Mandiant and #Crowdstrike, both now use #Corelight for their #NetworkSecurityMonitoring sensors, rather than building their own. corelight.com/company/news...

I wrote a blog post for Corelight explaining how the original 2010 Amin-Cloppert-Hutchins kill chain worked and why it was so important for #NetworkSecurityMonitoring: corelight.com/blog/kill-ch...

Here’s a quote from one of Thomas Rid’s books for your Sunday enjoyment.
