Chiming in here to concur with your points about MS screwing up how to buy Minecraft. It's an absolute mess.

Just adding another data point: AT&T fiber - 1G/1G for $115/mo. Austin, TX. Edit: actually get those speeds both ways (~980/980)

>(He didn't make this argument as well as he could have, but Chamath himself points out that when Goldman or AIG played stupid games, everyone else was conscripted into being the "bag holders.") This - this is the point th

Dropped that app faster than a hot potato. If only I could bail on Instagram... but that was never promised to be securely private.

Elections still happened during the U.S. Civil War and both World Wars. Also - can’t have the election because of pandemic, but can have schools reopen?

Better yet, open the /etc/passwd and see the root user's password wasn't set... Back in college I ran ToneLoc overnight and would try ftp on the successful hits. One server didn't have root set, so I telnet'ed,

The first car I drove was a 1964.5 white fast-back mustang that my dad refurb'ed in the late 80's, with me being his "shop gopher". I remember to this day the sound of that engine firing up when I was behind the wheel. E
