Facebook is evil.

Facebook is evil. It’s much more evil than even Microsoft during its most evil phase. So if you want to prosper as an independent startup, do not under any circumstances build it with a Facebook product. That means of course REACT. Don’t build with it.

Use something else that doesn’t have the baggage and is genuinely open source. Use something like Cycle.js, Preact, Vue.js, Svelte or hyperHTML

Fucking fucks.

Fucking fucks. It took these idiots a hundred years to work out but the automobile is now the tool of choice of terrorists. The only lesson here is that cities are going to need to change to adapt.

Terrorists are just fascists. Fuck them.

Ah …LOL

Ah …LOL

“In new research they plan to present at the USENIX Security conference on Thursday, a group of researchers from the University of Washington has shown for the first time that it’s possible to encode malicious software into physical strands of DNA, so that when a gene sequencer analyzes it the resulting data becomes a program that corrupts gene-sequencing software and takes control of the underlying computer.”
