I used to go on 4chan. Before the whole web 2.0 crazy 4chan was scary and disturbing and full of amazingly skilled photoshops. That's not something that you're going to find ever again.

Anyway the owner's life story is interesting especially because he was some 15 year old kid at the time running the site out of his bedroom (literally). I am amused at his Peter Parker life. And now he works at Google apparently. His transition from entrepreneur to corporate worker is fascinating to me. I guess the grass is always greener...

Man this is cool. I wouldn't have thought you could do something like this with just Legos.

This is hilarious. And also super depressing because of how much sense it makes. I am really curious though what the author thinks about small "family businesses" where everyone brings skills to the table and also of the gig economy where people do things like freelance art.

I didn't know this was a problem. Also I didn't know death caps actually tasted really good and that if you don't swallow them you won't get poisoned. That seems like asking for trouble though.

I think it's kind of funny to have this mental image of people scrambling for dead bodies. I guess it is fucked up to have people looking for fresh meat huh.

Yikes. This doctor ends up dying. Yes it's a spoiler but I think you should know this upfront. It's fucking insane how messed up corporate shit can be and what they get away with.

I heard before that you could somehow use power adapters to install malware into laptops and stuff. I wondered how that was possible and this paper kind of explains how. Anyway it's a good start for someone curious about it.

Goddamnit. Sometimes I think about whether or not it's infinitesimally possible for reality to glitch and then you suddenly finding yourself in a random faraway location (like deep space, or the bottom of the ocean, for instance). So it looks like quantum computers do come with quantum ECC. And it's cool that their error rates can go so close to zero, but it's NOT zero. So does that mean you can glitch out and suddenly drown at the bottom of the ocean????

I don't even understand the protocol and how it actually works. It's always fucking nuts when you read about some student solving some incredible math problem.

Hahaha. Levi's stadium is annoying even to the people who live here. It's this traffic disaster that ruins everything in the area on game nights and for some reason attendees keep dying mysteriously. (Seriously look it up!) It's just in the way, completely in the middle of office parks and suburbs and it doesn't make any sense. For real they close off the bike/walking/nature trail that goes behind it so that fans can go inside and it fucks everyone else up. I really want to know who the politician that really really fucking wanted a football stadium here. They're spending the big bucks overriding pretty much everyone else who hates this stadium.

I also didn't know that football teams hate it too or how hilariously shitty it is on the inside.
