Another great podcast. Thanks Leo for adding the Automated Transcript (roughly 95% accuracy , works for me).

Leo, dropping booster rockets in the ocean for the past 50 years? It’s about 70 years now. You’re older than you think.
That DDOS attack reminds me of Abbie Hoffman’s Steal This Book. Abbie Hoffman suggested a prank where thousands of people in a city flush their toilets simultaneously to overload the sewer system. DDOS is the Internet version of that.
