@drew @jennasmith @xgebi @hacks4pancakes Speaking of #GraceHopper, I highly recommend listening to her 1982 speech delivered to the NSA: Here is part 1:

Never have I received so many invitations from #PR agencies to, please, attend a #conference in the US. #Flight and #hotel paid for.

This tells me: I am not the only #journalist who is not #traveling to the #US at this time.

Some 10% of men are "colour blind" in some form, most often red or green insensitive. Did you know that #GIMP has a display filter to simulate #colour #vision deficiency? It is a big help for #design .

Go to the View menu, pick "Display Filters", then add the "Colour Deficient Vision" filter.

@molly0xfff If they offered direct transfer, you could keep your money in the HYSA until the due date of your Amex balance, then pay the balance. Where's the profit in that for Amex? They make money when you pay late.

Did you know that @molly0xfff records her superb #newsletter in her own voice for a #podcacst?

It's awesome. I can listen to it when I can't or don't want to look at a screen.

While it's free to read and listen, Molly lives off subscriptions. So I recently took out a second subscription to her newsletter, because I like the #audio version so much.

@ryanhoulihan What is it, then?

Israel wasn't clever. They relied too much on their electronic wall; so when the Hamas turned off the data connections, Israeli defence was blind and deaf. Then Hamas went to kill over 1000 civilians and some 300 soldiers.

Everybody else knows that the first thing to target in a war is the enemy's communications and energy supply.

Now Israel is learning that from Hamas. An expensive lesson.

@cobalt That depends on what the drug is for, and how common the issues listed are.
