Due to increased travel, growing urbanization, and climate change, the risk of deadly pandemics is accelerating. Appointing someone who would disrupt funding lifesaving research on new vaccines, treatments, and emerging infectious disease threatens the health of everyone.

A new #Jepsen report! We worked with Buf to analyze the safety of Bufstream, a Kafka-compatible streaming system. We found three safety and two liveness issues in Bufstream 0.1.0, including the loss of acknowledged writes in healthy clusters. These problems were resolved by version 0.1.3.

Now hoping for a giant asteroid. Let's just get this over with.

Coinbase has been promoting a new $25 million contribution to the Fairshake crypto-focused super PAC, which, like their May contribution of the same amount, appears to be in violation of campaign finance laws prohibiting contributions by federal contractors.

As America's democracy teeters, and as fascists gather in Madison Square Garden in a sick replay of a 1939 Nazi rally, the founder and CEO of the tiny but superb Mississippi Free Press offers a history lesson, a stark warning, and a vow to resist.

She and her staff have more courage than the Washington Post and LA Times put together.

Please read her piece and share it widely.

(Note: I'm a financial supporter, and hope you'll join me.)

Democracy | As Fascism Looms, the Free Press Must Stand and Report in the Breach
