Writing is hard for every last one of us… Coal mining is harder. Do you think miners stand around all day talking about how hard it is to mine for coal? They do not. They simply dig.
With that kind of money (which works out to about S$16M), the charity Free Food For All could feed 8 million people. That is one meal for the entire Singapore population and then some.
Mind boggling.
Those who benefit from the death of privacy attempt to frame our subjugation in terms of freedom, just like early factory owners talked about the sanctity of contract law. They insisted that a worker should have the right to agree to anything, from sixteen-hour days to unsafe working conditions, as if factory owners and workers were on an equal footing. Companies that perform surveillance are attempting the same mental trick. They assert that we freely share our data in return for valuable services. But opting out of surveillance capitalism is like opting out of electricity, or cooked foods—you are free to do it in theory. In practice, it will upend your life.

The Cosmotron was a proton synchrotron particle accelerator built and run by the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the 1940-50s. There are some other beautiful, historic pictures from the Brookhaven Lab Flickr account.
Because it’s used for (almost) all of Google products, I really don’t see myself using Product Sans on any commissioned work. However, when used as a replacement for the default Cantarell on Debian Gnome, Product Sans performs extremely well. It’s sufficiently legible, renders sharply, looks smart and somehow feels fun as an interface font.
I suggest a new function for the Unix standard C library: brexit(3): perform normal program termination and remove the binary from the disk.

Best nerdy Brexit joke, by a provincial country mile.
I don’t know what I just watched, but the art direction was outstanding. (And it’s not even from Japan.)
