HACK THE PLANET!

Hackers was released 30 years ago.

I was 18 years old, had just started Computer Engineering, went by the handle Way-K on IRC, and was in and out of trouble with the uni IT folks for what I called my "independent security research".

Peak 90s movie for me. What a soundtrack!

Figma's $300k Daily AWS Bill Isn't the Scandal You Think It Is Well, the internet did what the internet does best this week: it collectively lost its mind over a number in an S-1 filing. Figma disclosed they signed a ~$550 million contract with AWS, someone used ...

It depends on the type of alcohol, the supplier, and the type.

So things like wine have a shorter window and consignment can vary.

Many of the hard alcohols are on consignment and also have a longer shelf life.

Like most things, it’s complicated.

If you are planning a trip to the U.S., KNOWING how dangerous and unpredictable it is at the moment, and your only answer is "I should be ok cuz im white", when asked why you would do such a thing, you really have some serious issues with understanding this moment. Good luck to you & ur mom buddy

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

lol I was watching this from-the-stands perspective on TikTok of the Winnipeg Jets’ winning OT goal and only realized near the very end it’s the PREMIER of Manitoba filming it and going nuts with his buddy πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

Becca and I are watching Fast X. I’ve only seen the first one, but this looks fun and has Jason Mamoa.

@matthewfroese.bsky.social might have to help me understand the lore I’m missing.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

Just because your $50,000 movie camera can film in the near-dark doesn’t mean my $600 TV can display it.

I hate April Fools. Mainly because the majority of the posts from companies aren’t witty or funny.

I don’t care if I’m a party-pooper. Lying to your customer base and not making it obvious that it’s a joke, is bad.

If you aren’t a top-tier hilarious post, you’re just hurting your brand.

Even when we are on social war footing, Canadians believe in the importance of being polite.
Considerate shoppers make sure to spare the next shopper from having to determine if a product is from the USA.
