2 Billion Email Addresses Were Exposed, and We Indexed Them All in Have I Been Pwned I hate hyperbolic news headlines about data breaches, but for the "2 Billion Email Addresses" headline to be hyperbolic, it'd need to be exaggerated or overstated - and it isn't. It's rounded up from ...

This has been an extraordinary set of data to process: 1.3B unique passwords, 2B unique email addresses (including mine 😭) and almost 3M of our @haveibeenpwned.com subscribers in there. It’s been weeks of processing to get this loaded, and finally, it’s done www.troyhunt.com/2-billion-em...

don’t let these decrepit fucks pretend zohran’s outspoken support for queer and especially trans new yorkers didn’t arguably deliver his margin of victory

In NYC watching as Liz Story is back in a recording studio for the first time in 15 or more years. It sounds glorious!

do folks have any idea how much cops cost?!

it would be less expensive to just feed people.

there is NOTHING in the science to justify this. fuck this

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

PR isn't going to happen (constitutional amendment). STV could reduce polarization, but the most polarized places are unlikely to adopt. Congress could increase # of reps to 1920s level or more (1500-3000 reps): make it harder to gerrymander, and help with the electoral college distortion too.

The disposable pepper grinders are so common they come in the generic store brand.

Rich people don’t buy newsrooms because they care about journalism they do it so they can control the news.

I feel this should be obvious but we do understand the reason for the focus on gender affirming care for incarcerated people, right? The goal is to get people to admit that they think gender affirming care is *not medically necessary*.

Clocks go back in the UK tonight. They change in the US on November 2nd. Welcome to the Week When No One Knows What Time It Is 😆

WBEZ/Sun-Times are crowd-sourcing a map of ICE raids.

Put aside what they’re doing and to whom and why.

The fact that the people of an American city, including the mayor and governor, have to guess where Federal agents are operating, is itself insane.

Sure, in the same way they know buying up Toys R Us and loading it up with debt will likely lead to eventual bankruptcy after they've got their money out and left. Someone else's problem by then.

I saw a couple in Santa Cruz and assumed they were a local thing. Monarchs winter here and we recently celebrated their return.

New Work by Gary Larson | TheFarSide.com Get an exclusive look at brand new cartoons and artwork from cartoonist Gary Larson, creator of the iconic comic strip The Far Side®.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Hey now, as long as _they_ live free it's not their problem if other people die because of it.

Backup cameras are great (especially in a van or RV). With mirrors as backup it can't fail catastrophically.

Replacing the side mirrors with screens, however, is terrible. I don't think it's legal in the US but I saw it in a European EV (might have been a demo model, not production)

Why are the rings orange? Does that represent infrared, and if so why would they be warm?

Brown pelicans dive bomb the anchovy buffet, Monterey Bay.

Isn't California a two-party consent state? I hope these pervs get sued into oblivion.

The tariffs aren't 500%. Was there any explanation of other "fees"?

No, no, you're doing the Gell-Mann amnesia effect all wrong. Everything else is perfectly fine, honest!

Good evening twilight, Monterey Bay. 🌅

What also baffles me is that Democratic Party is ~30 points underwater in favorability & Zohran Mamdani is ~16 points above water in favorability.

The Dem Party establishment, who is responsible for the abysmal rating, is too arrogant to support the guy ~50 points ahead of them. Incredible.

The alumni of this program are a who’s-who across silicon valley. Suspect there aren’t many law students following me here but if there is one in your life who is interested in tech law, they should apply.

Every single day of this administration, I have thought of my late professor Joe Nye and his work on soft power.

Every single day of this administration, Trump finds a new way to hemorrhage soft power from a country that once had more to spare than any in the world.

Sunset over the Santa Cruz Mountains tonight

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:
