I don't agree with your implication that shadowy intelligence agencies killed Jack Parsons, but the story of Jack Parsons is fascinating! I think he just mixed too many random rocket fuel precursors. Or maybe L Ron Hubbard really did successfully curse him. There are a few fun books written about this.

and not too long ago a big portion of Internet were rerouted to Russia (BGP)

This happens every few months, and not always by Russian ISPs. This would never happen if all upstream providers had proper filters on accepting BGP requests.

It really means the current system of using BGP is not resilient, and never has been.

Homebrew 1.4.0 9 years ago

It's incredibly weird since Apple employees are heavily discouraged from running Homebrew.

It is apologising for them when you say 'there is blame on both sides'.

Blaming the Venezuelan government and left wing groups for all of the recent violence is too general. In this case there really is blame on both sides.

I was recently reading https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/07/venezuela-maduro-helicopt... , which condemns the Maduro government, wealthy right wing Venezuelans, and outside corporations who really wish Maduro would hurry up and leave so they can start trading in Venezuelans mineral and fossil fuel wealth.

The Conservative papers are totally trying to glue, at least in the minds of UK voters, Venezuela to Corbyn! I remember headlines like 'Corbyn's future plan for the UK: VENEZUELA'

The odds on favourite to be next British Prime Minister is a Chavez / Maduro apologist: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/08/11....

Trying to glue the legacy of Venezuela to Corbyn is silly. I am well aware of Corbyn's admiration of Hugo Chavez defying American intervention in Venezuela.

If the various papers in England want to keep up that theme, they should explore Conservative ties to Saudi Arabia and Pinochet's regime.

It's about ratios.

There are about 220 million White Americans. Your data claims 392 White Americans have been killed police in 2017 so far.

There are about 35 million Black Americans. Your data claims 190 Black Americans have been killed by police in 2017 so far.

If Black Americans were killed by police hypothetically at the same rate as White Americans, 62 Black Americans would be dead.

Do you see the huge disparity there?

Not sure what the point of all this is. Thousands of very smart, accomplished men and women have gone through GenEd at Harvard without murdering multiple people.

Personally I think Kaczynski was influenced more by his inability to get a date in his entire life.

Adobe had him arrested on the stage as he gave his talk.

I was there!

The FBI arrested him in a hallway, 1 day after his talk. Dmitry at first thought it was a joke put on by a Defcon prankster.

During his talk, the panel moderator asked Dmitry to pause for a minute... and said "Would you mind saying 'Can you tell me where are the nuclear vessels in Alameda'?" Dmitry was confused by this request and said, in his Russian accent, "I do not know where the nuclear wessels are in Alameda?" The mostly American Trek-familiar audience had a good laugh, and Dmitry continued with his talk.
