- HN comments on an article about toxic / fake / artificial positivity have good examples of varying expectations & perceptions of "toxic positivity" (yes, there is such a thing) in work / social contexts, depending on cultural & education priors.

- Google's centralized "Sandbox" cookie replacement. HN.
- Bruce Schneier: Russia’s SolarWinds attack is a great summary for those like me who didn't follow this closely. Also, Schneier: Russia’s SolarWinds attack and software security.

"While there are other man page indexing sites out there, it is our hope that publishing man pages matching the versions of our released packages further improves Arch accessibility and documentation.". Cool!

- The U.S. House electronic voting system looks R·A·D.
