…has a new CEO. I know they’ve been looking for one for a while. While I’ve never discussed it with him, I suspect Jeff is relieved; he’s probably been trying to replace himself for a long time. It will allow him to focus more on the company’s technical issues, while retaining overall strategic control as board chairman.
Hillary’s Bus
The engine of the one under which she’s about to be thrown seems to be warming up.
The Dems are like jackals. When they see a weak member of the herd, they go in for the attack.
BTW, when you see them attack people like Trey Gowdy for a “partisan” attack, it’s almost always projection.
President Clinton
I’m not sure, he’s sort of subtle, but my neighbor Kurt Schlichter doesn’t seem to think that Her Hillaryness is going to be president.
Uranium Enrichment
Putin
“I’ll assume he’s alive until I see the corpse.” One other possibility is that there’s been a putsch, perhaps over the assassination, and he’s under arrest, but they haven’t figured out who’s in charge yet to make an announcement. But usually such things are resolved much more quickly.
Chrome And Systemd
Just did an upgradedate in Fedora. Looks like the new systemd has broken Chrome. Anyone have any ideas? Nothing about it at the site that I saw, at least based on a Google search. This is sort of a PITA, because Chrome is the only way I can access Tweetdeck, which I need for my multiple Twitter accounts.
[Update a while later]
This is the error message I get when I run from command line: “Failed to create /home/*****/.pki/nssdb directory.”
[Update late afternoon]
I realize the title may be a little cryptic. Every time Chrome fails to open, I get a message that systemd had a problem. Before the update, no problem, after the update, borked.
[Late-afternoon update]
OK, partially solved problem. If I disable SELinux, I can fire it up. Then I can re-enable. Here’s the errors when I run it:
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
[7630:7630:0315/162457:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(325)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process

[7571:7605:0315/162710:ERROR:mcs_client.cc(644)] Failed to log in to GCM, resetting connection.
And there about about ten instances of chrome sandbox process running. Not sure what this means, but at least I can use it for now, until I figure out what’s going on. Unfortunately, I lost all recent history.
The Space Access Society
A few weeks before its annual conference, a space policy update.
Restaurants In Seattle
…going dark as a $15 wage looms.
Morons. I find it particularly amusing that they are so precise in what they think the right number is, with Obama’s imbecilic $10.10. It’s like when Roosevelt arbitrarily raised the price of gold twenty-one cents “because it was three times seven.”
Snail Sex
Everything you probably didn’t really want to know.
Netanyahu
Why is he doing so poorly? As noted, it’s certainly domestic politics — the Israelis have been living with an existential threat since the nation was founded.
[Early afternoon update]
I wish you guys could read Hebrew.. The butthurt from slanted Israeli journalists tweeting is so strong, it's gorgeous. Aww poor babies.
Hmmmm, not sure why I can’t properly embed that tweet, but here it is. he thinks the debate didn’t go well for the opposition, but we’ll see.
