That sentence shocked me. It was the last Gladwell sentence I read.

As a college student, I helped create this site in, I believe, 1994: http://pynchon.pomona.edu/ I don't know that I really count as an academic, but I think the site has survived because it's sitting on a university server.

The image links still work.

That Mediatek module is nice! Thanks for that, and for the wisdom.

I scanned through the 25-page unclassified report released a couple of days ago. I found no technical details, which I'm afraid means that the question devolves to whether you trust the FBI, CIA, and the NSA, (plus the non-technical arguments about Putin's motivations in the report, which I found reasonably compelling).

It seems to me that it would be difficult to get all three agencies to agree that Russia was behind the DNC email hack if that weren't true, so I suspect it's probably true, but not with great certainty.

The same is true for Supervisor. It has supported Python 3 for years.

"Hertz, son, it's hertz. Named after the old guy, Heinrich Hertz. Used to hang out at my hackerspace when I was a kid. Well, it was just a garage, but you know what I mean."
