- Is the Reddit IPO worth your money. Fuck no. (Forbes)
The article takes Reddit's current trajectory and calculates a realistic value of about 3% of the IPO valuation. Reddit would have to reach Facebook levels of users for the IPO to be worthwhile.

- What's going on with the new bill that could ban TikTok? (Tech Crunch)
Something that’s very sacred in our country - the difference between the private sector and the public sector - that’s a line that is nonexistent in the way the CCP operates.
That quote is from FBI Director Chris Wray, who knows all about sacred lines and erasing them.
- MIT claims that is previous claims about a breakthrough in nuclear fusion are borne out by new claims. (Futurism)
Okay.
- The entry model of the M3 Macbook Air is better than the M2 version in one important way: It has two flash chips. (Tom's Hardware)
So did the M1, but the M2 reduced it to just one. Result is that both the M1 and M3 have significantly faster storage than the M2, close to twice as fast on reads, and nearly as fast as the Team MP34.
The difference is that a 4TB Team MP34 is the same price as 256GB of storage from Apple.
- It's a TRS-80 Model 100 only this time it's just a keyboard. (Notebook Check)
The Vision Board is an 84-key keyboard - with three out of the Four Essential Keys - with a 1920x440 touchscreen above the keys.
It looks almost good.

Yeah, I have been following the REBCO magnet thing.
If true, it should be possible to replicate, and would be significant progress.
Would not mean that we necessarily could be constructing working plants soon. There is more science and engineering left to do before we could verify that a design is possible.
I've gotten interested in magnetic physics recently, but I still have no real idea why it is that the physicists believe the things that they do.

I had a Model 100. Alas, I might have been a 101, which didn't use the same cassette cord as the 100, although the same socket. So I lost everything that was on it when I bought it the first time the memory battery died.
I might have those numbers backwards. It was 30 years ago.
