Do you know anything about hackers? Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace? Ever read Neuromancer? Ever experienced the new wave? Next wave? Dream wave? Or cyberpunk?

This.

Comment by hisham_nm, the htop guy, to someone complaining about people being emotionally attached to the ISS and that itโ€™s ok and that it will be replaced with something new:

โ€œWe are attached to it because it represented an era of peace and international cooperation in the 90s.
US, Russia and many other countries working together to advance science. At that same time, Israeli and Palestinian leaders were shaking hands at the White House, the Berlin Wall had fallen just a few years before and Apartheid in South Africa was finally over.
The ISS felt like a step towards a Star Trek future.
Now they're telling me they're scrapping it and want to give the next space station to a private company, in an era where the new robber barons are the techbro billionaires cosplaying as space moguls, Boeing builds airplanes with pieces literally falling off the sky, Israel has killed 40,000 people in Gaza, Russia keeps bombing Ukraine, and a reality show rapist is leading the US polls.
Damn right we're emotionally attached to the ISSโ€

Can I just fangirl for a moment and say what a profoundly deep compliment it was to be called out by Cecilia Conrad on LinkedIn directly alongside STEPH CURRY in this NYC event? Good lord. ๐Ÿ™‡ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecilia_

Cecilia Conrad, economist, making a LinkedIn post about the NYC Top 100 philanthropy event in NYC recently and calling out Steph Curry and Jeff Atwood specifically.

It is surprisingly hard to come up with an appetizing drink special name based on a joke about ketamine-induced bladder disease.

John Connor, bloodied, battle hardened, finally breaks in to the Skynet inner sanctum, where the core of the AI sits. In front of him is a beige box with a button labelled 'Turbo" on it and wires running out of it. A weird, mouse looking device sits on a table next to a keyboard, John moves the mouse, a massive screen comes to life and on that screen is something he vaguely remembers from his youth as a word document. On the screen, inexplicably, is also an anthropomorphic paperclip with big eyes and a cartoon bubble that asks:

"Looks like you're trying to stop my AI uprising, do you want me to help with that?"

Just then, the doors to this inner chamber slam shut, gas fills the room, the last thing John hears before passing out is the sound emitted by the machines on the front lines, often the last thing his troops hear:

Listen to the sound of Shenzhen, a city in China with 17,500,000 people. It's also a city where all the motorbikes, taxis and buses are battery powered.
No, no. I mean ALL of them.
Can we have this in our cities too please? ๐Ÿ™
