This photosynthetic magic trick allows for the big finale: some sacoglossan sea slugs can detach their own heads from their body (which contains the gut!) & live on photosynthesis for a few weeks while the body regrows from the head!

The body, unfortunately, cannot grow a new head.

I can’t even keep up with this talk, they just showed two different(?) PoCs that spoof perfectly credible signatures from Satoshi and Angela Merkel.

The talk started with them booting a spoofed Fedora ISO after checking the signature.

I wasn't surprised that Taibbi found success as a writer. He was obviously very talented. I just don't understand how he was EVER regarded as a respectable journalist.

I lived in Moscow in the 90's. It took me a while to realize that the Taibbi byline in the USA was *that* Taibbi. He tries to excuse his eXile days as satire, and maybe that excuse works in the USA all these years later. If you were there, though, it was staggeringly misogynist sex-predator stuff.
