In late 1971, Ray Tomlinson sat at two side-by-side PDP-10s in a Cambridge office and sent a message from one to the other across ARPANET, picking the @ symbol off his Model 33 Teletype because it was the only punctuation that couldn’t appear in a user’s name

On November 22, 1971, a 30-year-old BBN engineer named Ray Tomlinson stitched a file-transfer program to a local message tool and sent the first network email between two PDP-10s in the same Cambridge office. The separator he chose — the @ sign, picked because no human name could contain it — is now typed billions of times a day.

Wirecard’s Singapore whistleblower was a junior lawyer named Pav Gill — and his mother’s intervention saved the evidence Munich tried to bury

Чтение на выходные: «Мыслящие машины Дженсена Хуанга: История Nvidia и мировой ИИ-революции» Стивена Витта

В 1993 году три человека в кожанках и с распечатками бизнес-плана оккупировали задний столик закусочной Denny's в Сан-Хосе. Вокруг полицейские заполняли отчёты, а через дорогу из окна Taco Bell торчали пулевые отверстия. Один из троих, тридцатилетний эмигрант с Тайваня, в прошлом посудомойщик, только что вытряхнул из кошелька 200 долларов на регистрацию компании, которую назвал Nvidia. Звали его Дженсен Хуанг. Стивен Витт, журналист The New Yorker, написал не биографию и не... Read more

Как перестать покупать диски, или Практическое руководство по ILM в Tantor Postgres 18

Older adults who downsize their possessions late in life aren’t preparing for the end, they’re performing one of the oldest acts of love a person can perform, which is making sure the people they leave behind don’t have to sort through a lifetime alone

Late-life downsizing is often misread as surrender or morbid preparation. Looked at honestly, it's something else entirely: a deliberate, generous act by an older adult who remembers what it was like to sort through their own parents' house and is determined to spare their children the same burden.

When Hans Wilsdorf's wife Florence died in 1944, the Bavarian-born founder of Rolex built a Geneva foundation that has owned every share of the company since 1960. Eight decades later, that grief-born structure is the reason Rolex can under-produce, never discount, and out-think every shareholder-owned competitor in luxury. Read more
