    Enjoyable race! Unfortunate for Russell, drove an incredible race on a single stop. The same can’t be said for Perez.. the commentators were talking about a possible on-track shootout between Lawson and Ricciardo. Guess that that’s going to happen now?

    I just got a notification from the F1 app explaining the situation. It still doesn't make sense in my eyes. Drivers up and down the field have done this more than once, getting away with a warning.

    It almost looks like the stewards were trying to give out as few penalties as possible (Norris unsafe release, Hamilton unsafe release, Devries causing a collision,..) and then decided "you know what, we need to give one this race, let's give Norris 5 seconds for 'unsportsmanlike behaviour'".

    (Note: I'm a Hamilton fan, but I like most of the drivers on the field)

    Pretty good race overall, Ferrari actually had a good strategy that worked out for once. A shame they didn't let Sainz show his true pace.

    Albon was driving beautifully, the straightline speed of that Williams really was showing off.

    Mercedes seem to have found (and more or less solved) the issues they were struggling with. Hopefully they can continue their development and keep fighting at the front.

    Red Bull and Verstappen were as quick as we're already used to by now, Perez however isn't driving up to his standards. No clue what's going wrong there.

    Last but not least, Norris, he did a great race! Showed some real balls going into the hairpin. The penalty however still isn't clear to me. Where did he show unsportsmanlike behaviour?

    I totally agree!

    Once you learn more about what could happen with your data, you suddenly get semi-paranoid about giving your data to companies. But I also live by the rule "don't give them what you don't want them to know", which helps with the paranoia.

    Ooh yeah, I get that! Doesn't that cyber security concentration in your degree help making you less paranoid? I'd assume that when you know how those things happen, you'd be more calm about it, no?

    There's something about these three that just keeps me intrigued and manages to get me to return to Minectraft after a break.

    The Lazarus Heist episode is great, one of the best in the series.

    Some of my favorites are

    • "119: Hot Wallets" which is an interview with a journalist where they talk about everything that's going on in the crypto world.
    • "102: Money Maker" which is about a guy that starts making his own money and eventually gets caught.
    • "95: Jon & Brian's Big Adventure" which is about these two guys breaking into buildings and telling some of there stories.
    • "72: Bangladesh Bank Heist" is about stealing 1 billion dollars from a bank.

    I'm currently going through a backlog of Darknet Diaries episodes. It's a podcast by Jack Rhysider where he talks about and interviews people that have something to do with cyber crime/security. Whether it's about physical penetration testing or hacking into a nuclear facility, he covers it all. Really interesting and fun to listen to. Would recommend to anyone interested in tech!
