HISTORY: Unix?

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/08/unix-at-50-it-starts-with-a-mainframe-a-gator-and-three-dedicated-researchers/

Quoting:
"Maybe its pervasiveness has long obscured its origins. But Unix, the operating system that in one derivative or another powers nearly all smartphones sold worldwide, was born 50 years ago from the failure of an ambitious project that involved titans like Bell Labs, GE, and MIT. Largely the brainchild of a few programmers at Bell Labs, the unlikely story of Unix begins with a meeting on the top floor of an otherwise unremarkable annex at the sprawling Bell Labs complex in Murray Hill, New Jersey."

Quoting:
"Today, in collaboration with Troy Hunt, we're releasing a file containing the top 100,000 passwords from his Have I Been Pwned data set. If you see a password that you use in this list you should change it immediately. This blog explains why you should do this, and answers some common questions about password blacklists.

Paul Allen after MS (History)

https://www.wired.com/story/what-entrepreneurs-can-learn-from-paul-allens-second-act/

Quoting:
"To the public, Allen’s identity will always be tied to his role in the creation of Microsoft. In 1975, Allen convinced childhood pal Bill Gatesthat they should develop a programming language to help make computing more accessible to more people. Their larger goal of a computer on every desk took several years to realize, but that initial project set the company on its way.

Gates and Allen became a sort of boy-wonder duo that built Microsoft into an important software company. But following a bout with cancer in 1982, Allen decided the clashes with Gates were wearing on him emotionally and went on his world tour.

He never returned to Microsoft. What followed holds lessons and a cautionary tale for entrepreneurs who will leave their businesses at some point. "
