The same holds true of precious metals, most definitely.

If things really HTF, you're gonna want to not be blocked by a closed bank, etc.

I remember reading Unix source in Geoff Steckel‘s office at Harvard who got the first Unix distribution outside of their labs and the line printer would just would use overstrike on parentheses to designate curly braces and upper case (lower case was printed as upper since the line printer didn’t have lower).

Helped Carl Helmers start Byte along with another Intermetrics co-worker Dan Fylstra (who founded VisiCorp a bit later, the first PC software company that published VisiCalc) in the summer between semesters at Harvard.

Wrote a couple of articles and spent some time in Nashua (IIRC) with Helmers and Green (the publisher), but had to get back to school in the fall so faded out, and didn't overlap with Tinney's work.

Fun times.

Look up "where did the towers go?" on Youtube, a lecture by materials scientist Judy Wood. She argues I think conclusively that the towers were turned into dust by directed energy weapons.

(I know this will get downvoted to hell, but I suggest you find out for yourself.)

I think he was referencing Ted Kaszinski (sp?).

Would love link to olive oil farm…

"Muh Russia".

C'mon, that's such a cheap take. The Fed has done nothing but destroy the value of the dollar since its founding in 1913.

If you think of education as trying to lead people into being whole humans, seems like literature and philosophy (properly taught) are some of most critical subjects.

Wow, that brings back memories!

First saw the C compiler sources on Geoff Steckel (local guru)'s desk around 1973 at the Harvard graduate computing center, and was absolutely floored at this fascinating-looking language. (Harvard got the first Unix tapes outside of Bell Labs; not sure of the connection there.)

All upper-case, of course, as the DEC lineprinters didn't have lower case yet. Real upper case was struck-through upper.

I loved visiting the Mill back in the day when I was part of the crews buying DECSystem-20's for Columbia University and later the Fairchild AI Lab.

What a great place to work, and hanging out with the OS developers like Dan Murphy was just icing on the cake.

Yes, helped start it (first or second employee back in 1980(?)).

Wild! I had forgotten the LispMs had Impress support; I think that came out of the time when we worked with Janet Walker, head of documentation at Symbolics.

Nah, it'd come out too much as "almost famous".

I did manage to avoid being Microsoft employee #12 or so (my buddy Bob Greenberg was #8, I think?, and encouraged me to come join them), and Adobe employee #8 (I knew Chuck Geschke from some earlier work done as an undergrad extending his PhD thesis to Harvard's extensible language ECL), due to various life circumstances. I guess God didn't want be to be a spoiled rotten billionaire.

Another near miss was co-consulting with Len Bosack at HP setting up Lisp Machine networking, and wondering how the heck the then-nascent Cisco was ever going to sell more than a few hundred routers (based on the same Sun-1 boards developed by Andy Bechtolstein at Standford that we used at Imagen, the first typeset-quality laser printers, a spinoff from Don Knuth's research at Stanford) to universities and government labs.

As Gates said, those of us who grew up with the ARPAnet and came to take it as a simple fact of life like electricity didn't see the Internet juggernaut coming.

And you know because...?
