"It is the talk of the town today — the loud boom, the flash of light in the sky experienced by a lot of folks across the Houston area this afternoon," says a local Texas newscaster. "And then there was this — a home in northwest Harris county hit by something that crashed through their roof."
Travelling at very high speed, the six-pound meteorite crashed through their roof and through their attic, crashing again through the ceiling oF the floor below. It then bounced off the floor, hit the ceiling again.

Как Yahoo вылезла из могилы эпохи Verizon и снова вышла в плюсСегодня у меня в гостях Джим Ланцон, гендир Yahoo.В двух словах пересказать историю Yahoo тупо нереально, но если коротко: давным-давно они заплатили Google за то, чтобы повесить их поисковую строку на свой сайт, и с тех пор всё пошло по наклонной. Джим, кстати, прямо называет ту сделку «первородным грехом» Yahoo. Пережив череду слияний, разделений и абсолютно шизовый период в... Read more ›

Она решилась в тот день, когда перестала чувствовать собственные пальцы. Когда выбор сузился до двух вариантов: медленно угасать в запертом теле или совершить «прыжок» в цифровую пустоту, надеясь остаться собой.

![[Перевод] За что я полюбил FreeBSD](https://times42.com/media/8/8/6/12159886_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] За что я полюбил FreeBSD")
Когда я впервые заглянул во FreeBSD Handbook в 2002 году, то не мог поверить своим глазам. За шесть лет работы с различными дистрибутивами Linux, о чём у меня уже была статья, я научился выискивать документацию по кусочкам — часто неполную или устаревшую, причём иногда спустя всего год. Здесь же операционная система сопровождалась полноценным, точным и достаточно свежим подробным руководством. В то время я уже был убеждённым сторонником Open Source, но... Read more ›

While AI CEOs worry governments might nationalize AI, others are advocating for something similar. Canadian security professional Bruce Schneier and Harvard data scientist Nathan Sanders published this call to action in Canada's most widely-read newspaper (with a readership over 6 million): "Canada Needs Nationalized, Public AI."

There's a surprise in a new documentary about that Bigfoot film shot in 1967 by Roger Patterson, reports the Wall Street Journal. Capturing Bigfoot "builds to a big reveal: freshly surfaced film that appears to show a woodsy dress rehearsal for one of the world's most enduring hoaxes."

But Banksy's long-time lawyer "urged us not to publish this report, saying doing so... Read more ›
