It seems like Michael Bazzell's new book edition was released without much fanfare. I like the reorganization but have to say there isn't a lot that is "new" for me in the first half (computer, mobile device, firewall, virtual machines)--although, full disclosure, I already had all of the topic-specific supplements for these chapters, which were released over the last year. I am just getting to chapter 20 now and found the sections on mailing addresses and trust / estate management much improved. I really hope the podcast comes back. I am curious for the thoughts of others.

"Master’s graduate Li Bingqian, 25, tried out “knowledge street vending” in the southern city of Shenzhen in January, providing custom calligraphy and handwriting services. She told Sixth Tone that she enjoyed the flexibility of the work, and believes it is a good fit for young people seeking greater financial independence through part-time jobs. " <-- I actually kind of love this, although clearly this is not very different than the countless artists you find in the streets of European tourist areas. Maybe I'll pack a generator and try offering "street data science" at some point, although I don't know if this would have quite the same charm.

Note that the main example they provide of a distinct form of this "phenomenon," "street political science," seems to have been a joke (as the article kind of acknowledges).

Pop_OS. It's the most polished Linux distro I've found and has nice keyboard workflows in the GUI.
