    Construction begins on Jeff Bezos’ $42 million 10,000-year clock
    https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/tldr/2018/2/20/17031836/jeff-bezos-clock-10000-year-cost?__twitter_impression=true
    Installation has finally begun on Jeff Bezos’ 10,000-year clock, a project that the Amazon CEO has invested $42 million in (along with a hollowed-out mountain in Texas that Bezos intends for a Blue Origin spaceport), with the goal of building a mechanical clock that will run for 10 millennia. The actual idea for the clock comes from Danny Hillis, who originally proposed a 10,000-year clock in 1995 in Wired as a way to think about the long-term future of humanity and the planet. That idea grew into the Clock of the Long Now, a project by the Long Now Foundation, which Hillis went on to co-found to build an actual, working version of the proposed clock.

    New York City is one of three places that “have permitted violence and destruction of property to persist and have refused to undertake reasonable measures to counteract criminal activities,” leading to its designation as an “anarchist jurisdiction,” the Justice Department said Monday. Rather than idle words, the designation has potential financial consequences. President Trump issued a memo earlier this month…

    In the ring, they were gods. Now the coronavirus is forcing lucha libre stars to sell street food
    https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-09-18/out-of-work-mexicos-luchadores-struggle-to-get-by
    MEXICO CITY — Último Guerrero is one of the biggest names in Mexican wrestling — a world-famous star known for his punishing moves, long black mullet and silver-capped front tooth. He has toured Asia, South America and Europe, won dozens of championship belts and can’t walk down the street here without fans pestering him for autographs. But in the months since the coronavirus struck and wrestling arenas were closed, the 48-year-old icon has been flipping burgers at a food truck. “Everything stopped,” he said on a recent afternoon, a chef’s apron pulled tight over his bulging pectoral muscles, the smell of sizzling beef and onions wafting down the street outside his house in Mexico City. “Like everybody else, I had to do something to survive.” Lucha libre — literally “free fight” — is its own religion in Mexico, and wrestlers are gods. The pandemic has brought them down to earth.
