@mattblaze @sjelin @see_wolff How many of the remaining engineers are also working for governments?

@sjelin @see_wolff Honestly, I'd be very surprised if data breaches and other compromises haven't already happened as a direct result of the chaos. Twitter is an extremely attractive target, for everything from well-funded hostile state actors to drooling teenaged wannabe hackers.

The bad things I'm worried about as Twitter implodes don't involve spectaular interruptions of service (though that will suck), but quiet data breaches and account compromises.

@chrisbriem But do we have the community consensus to get this approved before we're all dead

We can rebuild it… we have the capability…

@seangentille Ulf Samuelsson spotted in Bruins FO

The Bruins released Mitchell Miller and stepped on one last rake for the road. Cam Neely's statement was a joke, and the front office should be as ashamed of themselves tonight as they were yesterday. theathletic.com/3770121/2022/1…

I know a lot about writing comedy, so I bought a giant, unprofitable shoe store. I fired many employees and decided to charge Stephen King $8 a month to come to my store. Things are going badly and I believe it is the fault of a left-leaning powerful clown in upstate NY.

@pghconservation This may be the most famous vending machine in Pittsburgh cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/new…

High winds at the perfect time of day created a previously undocumented 2,400-foot rainbow waterfall in Yosemite National Park

@matthew_d_green Moonman in the middle

I wonder if they use a VPN.

There is a communication channel that runs out of this building and ends in L2 and I can’t get over how cool that is.

@pghconservation They're more entertaining than baseball!

I told you this thing would get out of control.

@inversion_doc @pghconservation @RyanDeto @HealthAllegheny @BreatheProject Imagine if @UPMC did this on USX former world HQ

@RyanDeto Cool!! I think it would be great to use the lights to show air quality as it degrades (from green to yellow to orange to red+) many nights due to frequent inversions infused with stinky particle pollution from US Steel and other polluters. @HealthAllegheny @BreatheProject

Pittsburgh 3 sister bridges are getting permanent LED light installations to display different colors & light sequences to promote civic pride. Allegheny County Exec said bridges could be orange for Halloween or Black and Gold for sporting events, like Steelers games. Video below

@RealTimeWWII Simone Segouin is still alive and received the Legion of Honor last year on Bastille Day.

French resistance fighters, including 18 year old Simone Segouin, are battling Germans in streets of Paris; she's come from fighting in liberation of Chartres, where she captured 25 German soldiers at gunpoint.

@sam_shur Too late. The Stables are already condos stableslofts.com

DoMI this, DPW that, when are we going to reinstate the Bureau of Horses?

@robertgraham @Dave_Maynor @Andrew___Morris

@Dave_Maynor @Andrew___Morris I live a virtuous life, I avoid committing syn.

did you know the bandwidth cost of mass SYN scanning the entire IPv4 space on a single port is roughly approximate to uploading a 250gb file? 60 byte SYN * ~4.2 billion routable ipv4 addresses == ~252,000,000,000 bytes == 252gb or 16 petabytes for all 65k tcp dest ports

@chrisbriem Should have searched for "needs fixed"

That Pittsburgh is not on this list is a failure of text analysis. They looked for ads saying things like ‘in need of repair’. If they didn’t find that in most Pittsburgh listings it’s because it goes without saying for the modal home here.

@Pgh311 Car still there.

@chrisbriem How consistent is this across the 7 counties?

Here's the employment benchmarking. Again, some clawback for the region, which is good after a long period of just absolutely flat (SA) employment levels... but a ways to go:

Updated metro area labor force benchmarking:
