When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.๐Ÿ—ฝ

On this day in tech history: In 1996, Silicon Graphics bought Cray Research for $767 million, merging graphics supercomputers with Seymour Crayโ€™s vector and MPP architectures. Those high-performance machines powered the simulations that proved scaling laws long before โ€œscaling lawsโ€ was a phrase.

Slept in way too long, and it felt gloriously decadent. My alarm mysteriously never went off! I blamed a dog; she blamed the cats. Either way, my wife and the pups let me snooze, and coffee was waiting, so the universe is "forgiven". ๐Ÿ˜‰
