Paying freelancer invoices to Egypt from Europe is insane. Just got a return for a salary paid Feb 16, and no notice on either side. 1/2

Syncing Ethereum blockchain after less than 2 weeks of not using Mist, thinking to myself: https://storage.5apps.com/basti/public/shares/170228-0351-pile-of-shit.gif

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.

I found Passengers to be a gorgeous, surprisingly realistic, well-written sci-fi film. About human nature, as the best of them are.

So far, the only companies having asked me to update my credentials in light of Cloudbleed, are all Bitcoin services. Thanks, Mt. Gox!

Shout out to @krakenfx for being the first company to ask me to change my auth credentials due to Cloudbleed.

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. #CEOgrammer

Think about all the petty things people go to jail for. Banksters can openly defraud, manipulate, extort and pillage, by paying a fine.

Yet again, nobody goes to jail, government gets a share of the action, problem solved: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-23/credit-suisse-settles-doj-53-billion-will-pay-25-billion-ci... #toobigtojail

I'm not in Berlin, but thanks for worrying! And of course I hope all you Berlin friends are fine and haven't lost anyone.

Interesting fact from the film: Snowden leaked an executive order from Obama requiring the president to sign off on every cyber attack.
