I’m going to go build my own gold rush town, with blackjack and hookers!

It’s like in gold rush times. The guy who got rich wasn’t panning for gold in a riverbed, he was back in town running the general store, selling pickaxes to all the poor schmucks trying to get to the moon.

Do you have the physical tickets or a way to get them from the box office?

Reply to Google Home speakers allowed hackers to snoop on conversations by chrisdh79

I’m powerfully uncomfortable with the Internet of things for this reason. When the big boys like Samsung TVs and Google Homes are so vulnerable, why would I be able to trust a small startup? They probably have to use off the shelf parts like OpenSSH that open the door for HeartBleed etc, and they can’t afford the security staff that Google can.
