I wish I'd read Rick Steve's Europe Through the Back Door back in college. Not just a listing of destination sights, it also shares a lot of insight on how to travel, and how to get the most out of the experience.

Maybe by rocket-powered drone? At 2am on a clear freeway, you might be able to make it in 15 minutes. Otherwise, plan on a half hour.
I see a parallel here with the US Patent office. They have big employee turnover: graduates with tech degrees sign up as patent examiners, use their government education benefits to get a law degree, then leave a few years later for much greener pastures as patent attorneys.
Same could be happening at the NSA: Spend a few years letting Uncle Sugar teach you the basics of computer security and penetration testing, then leave for more $$$ as a computer security consultant. Infosec is a hot field now.
I still use them in my car for listening to audio books (in MP3 format). My car *does* have an USB jack as well, but having the disc player means I can switch between two different channels (say, a book on the CD and music on the USB) without losing my place in either. I'd be just as happy with two USB jacks; it's all about having multiple channels of entertainment that each keep track of where you left off.
Snowden & Manning are whistle-blowers. They were motivated by correcting what the perceived as illegal or immoral actions by the government. They had little to personally gain (and a lot to lose) by their actions.
Ulbricht, on the other hand was motivated by greed. His willingness to commission murder-for-hire in order to keep his cash machine going justifies his conviction.
Terminals (as we think of them with keyboards and a display screen) didn't exist at all until the mid to late 1960s. A 1950's programmer would be sitting at a keypunch, creating a deck of cards. These would be submitted as a batch process, and you'd get your compiler & run results hours (or maybe a day) later, printed in smudged type on a stack of large fan-fold tractor-feed paper.
With few exceptions, the sort of interactive programming you can do "sitting at a terminal" wasn't commonplace until the 1970's.
Huh? With every driver now staring at their phone instead of watching the road, I find it hard to agree with this. Distracted drivers are deadly for cyclists.
I wish e-bikes made some noise. Navigating streets in Shenzhen last summer, you had to constantly watch out for e-bikes whizzing by from every direction.
So, Amazon will move from drone delivery to lobbing your packages down from orbit. "Package vaporized in re-entry" will be added to the refund options.
What's really funny is a bit after I snapped the photo, the girl reached up and pressed the big red CALL SECURITY button. Everybody scattered as the robot was chanting SECURITY HAS BEEN ALERTED....SECURITY HAS BEEN ALERTED...
My wife talked to a clerk at the mall who was creeped out when she walked past the droid and it said HELLO...WE MEET AGAIN!

This will give a whole new meaning to the phrase "Computer Virus".
I use it with Inoreader. A great way to keep up with uncluttered information.
Ah, pneumatic tubes. Explains this bizarre label I saw taped to the wall at a Southwest get at LAX: https://twitter.com/isonno/sta...

Also you should add Jay Forrester (inventor of core memory, among other things) and Bob Fano (founder of the MIT computer science lab).

Burn!
I can't help but read that at ass-guardian...as in CYA?

+1. Just buy a monitor and plug a cheap PC into it. Use a web browser to pull up content.

I'm sure the controls are all on-line. New prank: Hacking into somebody's Ori and closing the bed-drawer while they're sleeping in it.
If Pokemon Go relies on Google Maps, players in China can expect to wind up in the river... https://twitter.com/isonno/sta...
OK, definitely not taking my laptop to the University of Florida.

"Honey, have you seen the blue thumb drive?? The one with the genesis block keys? I can't find it ANYWHERE!"
+1. And not even a photo of a prototype.

The critic reduces his cred by publishing his critique in a tiny, thin, illegible font.
Here's one spotted at a local mall: https://twitter.com/isonno/sta...
If they do find successful therapies, they'll be worth a fortune. This smells more like an investment (granted, a risky one) than a "donation".
