This time last year, the company that made Mario and Donkey Kong household names seemed to have lost its touch. Now, with the new console, it’s on a roll.
“I always look for designers who aren’t super-passionate game fans,” Mr. Miyamoto said. “I make it a point to ensure they’re not just a gamer, but that they have a lot of different interests and skill sets.” Some of the company’s current stars had no experience playing video games when they were hired.
"Thanks to the Obama Administration women will still be able to access the birth control they need to plan their families, and cancer screenings they need to stay healthy.”
god bless this man honestly
Praise God
In case you don’t read it: basically it’s a lot of money given annually to planned parenthood that cannot be touched to keep the facilities open. It clearly states that this money is for things like access to contraceptives and cancer screenings and other care that planned parenthood offers that’s not specifically abortions.
So republicans won’t even be able to vote for defunding planned parenthood. Essentially.
Today at therapy was really hard. I was sitting here crying, and generally being miserable, when I felt a nudge at my knee. I looked down to see that Zeus, my service dog, was doing his job… and brought me a potato. it is very hard to cry with a gift of potato.
In the last few weeks there have been releases of some very high profile database breaches, linkedin, myspace and now tumblr.
All of these sites have been hit with hacks, and resulted in massive data breaches, yet these hacks are only now coming to the surface.
Tumblr has now confirmed it was hacked in a data breach from 2013, which affected a set of users “Email addresses and Passwords”, but Tumblr has refused to reveal how many people were affected. With the release of the data, for sale on The Real Deal darknet marketplace, it has now been confirmed that there are 65 Million records available.
Have i Been pwned has obtained a copy of the stolen data set, allowing people to check if their accounts have been breached. Records show that there are currently 65,469,298 unique emails and passwords.
Tumblr has at least done one thing correctly, the passwords were both hashed and salted. Salting is adding additional random bytes at the end of the password, this makes reverse hashing much harder, even when using the weak encryption of SHA1.
The hacker with this latest breach should come as no surprise to those who follow these kinds of leaks. Peace, has offered the data for a small fee of 0.4255 BTC or $150, the reason for the relatively small price is due to the hashing and salting of the data, which is essentially a massive database of email addresses.
Other databases are also available from Peace (Profile name on the market: peace_of_mind), with the linkedin one being sold for 6 BTC, again on the same darknet marketplace as the current one is being sold.
The leak which is now listed on have I been pwned, is the third largest ever, after the linkedin hack (Also completed by Peace) and the Adobe hack which was for 152 Million accounts. Any affected accounts should have had contact with Tumblr advising to change/reset passwords, after the announcement of the hack.
What all of these hacks have in common is they are actually a few years old, yet the data has been hidden and dormant, and now has arisen to the top, and is available for sale. Whether there will be more leaks to follow, only time will tell.
Another question is, who has been sitting on this data for all of this time, and why? Why release the data now?
I guess these are questions, that we don’t/won’t have the answers too at the moment, but they could be answered within weeks or even months.
Peace is another hacker to keep a close eye on, along with FineasPhisher, who seem to be excelling at pwning massive databases or even sites.

Elizabeth Warren was on fire last night.
She orchestrated a searing Tweetstorm aimed at Trump. As my timeline filled with retweets of gems like this, I decided to dig in and see what conversations her tweets were generating. Wading through the @ mentions of her various tweets, my stomach began to turn. The hate and vitriol hurled at her from cowards behind keyboards was truly disgusting.
It was only last week, I’d watched this video of men reading mean tweets directed at women sportscasters. Not a day has past that I haven’t thought about it.
I have 4 daughters and this is the world I send them into every day.
Seeing women experience this kind of verbal abuse and harassment in real time lends a perspective most men should allow themselves to see and feel.
It’s seeing and feeling and experiencing what others, not like you, have to go through that can change perspectives and reshape tightly held beliefs.
In her book, Lean In, Cheryl Sandberg emphasized how critical a loving and supportive partner was to a woman’s ability to succeed in life and in the workplace. Today, she posted on reflection and how her views on partner support had changed in her first year as a single parent:
I did not really get how hard it is to succeed at work when you are overwhelmed at home.
I did not really get how hard it is to succeed at work when you are overwhelmed at home.
Being a mother is the most important—and most humbling—job I’ve ever had. As we rightly celebrate motherhood, we should give special thanks to the women who are raising children on their own. And let’s vow to do more to support them, every day.
A worthy pledge!
But one that can only be felt and sincerely advocated once a glimpse of the sacrifice and struggle of a single parent is experienced.
To begin that journey of change required walking in those shoes first.
I went on a bit of Twitter ramble this afternoon related to the news that Dropbox was tightening their belt and cutting back some employee perks. I shot off a few zingers, lobbed a few snarky @ replies, then went back to working around the house.
Those 20 min of armchair quarterbacking have caused more reflection than I’d anticipated. I work with many first time CEOs growing companies and facing challenges they’ve never faced on a daily basis. For the CEO of Dropbox, this is not only the first billion dollar business he’s run, but its likely one of the first jobs he’s ever had.
How easy to sit back and be critical of the decisions being made when there’s no skin in the game and you’ve never walked in those shoes?
From my experience today, too easy.
The web can be an incredible empathy machine if we’re open to reading, listening and experiencing life in their shoes.
It is actually a funny story. When they were prototyping the iPad, they ported the iOS calc over, but it was just stretched to fit the screen. It was there all the way from the beginning of the prototypes and was just assumed by everyone at apple that it was going to be shipped that way. A month before the release, Steve Jobs calls Scott Forstall into his office and says to him, "where is the new design for the calculator? This looks awful" He said, "what new design?" This is what we are shipping with. Steve said, "no, pull it we can't ship that". Scott fought for it to stay in, but he knew he had to get their UI team involved to design a new look for the calculator but there was no way they could do it in that short time frame, so they just scrapped it. It has been such low priority since then that no one cares to work on it since there is more important things to work on. (Source: I worked at Apple)

Child prodigies rarely become adult geniuses who change the world. We assume that they must lack the social and emotional skills to function in society. When you look at the evidence, though, this explanation doesn’t suffice: Less than a quarter of gifted children suffer from social and emotional problems. A vast majority are well adjusted — as winning at a cocktail party as in the spelling bee. What holds them back is that they don’t learn to be original. They strive to earn the approval of their parents and the admiration of their teachers. But as they perform in Carnegie Hall and become chess champions, something unexpected happens: Practice makes perfect, but it doesn’t make new.

This video from dewulf provides a mesmerizing glimpse of how carrots are harvested by a Dewulf GKIIISE top-lifting carrot harvester. The impressive machine smoothly pulls up three rows of carrots at the same time and manages to collect them without damaging the tasty veggies. Bugs Bunny would swoon.
