Tired of the government telling me how I should celebrate holidays.
Now is the time to prepare to not set your house on fire this Thanksgiving.

Or IOW, if this valuation is right, Apple's top-end bug-bounty for top-tier security research, despite their popular image as being generous, is still about an order of magnitude below than the offensive market

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

The idea that you can just “teach computer science” and be apolitical is a beautiful dream that expired in the 2000s, at the latest. Computer science has re-organized every facet of our society: it is inherently political. Instead of taking this idea seriously, we ran from it. Now we live in hell.

Started working on a project that I’ve been wanting to get to for a couple years. Making a set of toolmaker’s clamps to distract me for an hour or so every night from *gestures broadly* all this.
I got to test out this new knurling tool.

Probably the weirdest thing about state-run liquor stores is that they advertise. So on a weekly basis, the Commonwealth of Virginia sends me mixed drink recipes.
