The fact there will be no losers and winners will trigger very high suicide and homicide rates.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

Last week, Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit (DCU) successfully executed a court order to disrupt and transfer control of six internet domains created by a group widely associated with the Russian government and known as Strontium, or alternatively Fancy Bear or APT28. The Russians are cunning. The Russians are cunning!
Apologies (OK, not really) if you think this is Soapbox material. Possibly the biggest tech news of the day

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.

Coca-cola couldn't even sell New Coke with their ad budget and we're supposed to be swayed by a bunch of cheesy ads and columns by Russians? Kellogg is on line 2 wondering what's the secret.

Fishing is boring.
(I do wonder how much of these sites are actually sponsored by the government or mostly exist due to a largely unregulated market [with the Russian government watching all the traffic "just in case".])

Repeat after me: "The USA is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic." One more time. "The USA is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic."
Okay, right, the USA is really a plutocracy masquerading as a constitutional republic. But it isn't a democracy.

Chrome 69, due to be released on September 4, is going to take the next step toward phasing out support for Adobe's Flash plugin. It couldn't happen to a nicer security hole

I would say I'm dating myself by mentioning that, but dating ones self is weird. What if I turned myself down one night because I just didn't feel like going out? I could always ask a chatbot I guess.

Writing prose and writing code have a lot in common, but perhaps the biggest similarity is that neither writers nor programmers can get things done on time. "It's always something"

I usually get my programming done on time, it's just not the time everyone else wishes it could be.

"We've heard from many, many developers, who've frequently requested a PTY-like mechanism in Windows," said Microsoft exec Rich Turner in a recent blog post announcing a Windows Pseudo Console (ConPTY) coming to Windows 10. I thought the existing console was pretty pseudo-useful myself
