I apologize to everyone behind me in the security line at . Couldn't anticipate that @gregkare's beard would turn an iPad into a b***.

 

Back in the Berlin/Germany, where good coffee shops don't have wifi, prepaid mobile Internet is not 4G, and nobody can leave due to strikes.

 

Flight got cancelled, waiting line computer just says ETOOMANYPEOPLE and hangs up, not even putting you in a queue.

 

The message of the Vault 7 source sounds pretty much exactly like the Zero Days one. I'd guess it's the same person.

 

The first time we paid one, it took over a week to even get it sent. We're talking less than €2000, which shouldn't even trigger AML rules.

Another Passengers story fun fact: the reason the engineer can't put himself back into stasis, is that the tech is proprietary.

 

One interesting story aspect of Passengers is that space colonies are private enterprises, financing humanity's expansion in the universe.

Peak hipsterdom: place in SIN imports roasted African beans from PDX, doesn't sell local roasts. Result is S$35/bag, half of it shipping.

 

Exactly how I felt about Rogue One: all icing and no cake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJgfxlgUIZY

 

I haven't stated this enough lately, so here goes: Ember.js is fantastic, and Ember components are the best thing since carpaccio.

 

My favorite thing about the holidays: I can finally spend whole days coding.
