I've always wondered if anyone actually bothers to read the summary. You know, if I don't "summarize" the episode, would anyone notice? If they did, would they care - and now that I've started the summary this way, do I go ahead and actually summarize anyway? Like, should I mention Jon talking about bees again? Or the quick little follow ups on MDS Attacks, GitHub's Package Registry or Social Proofs? Hacking the "unhackable" might be a good thing to mention, along with a software update "crashing" ankle monitors in the Netherlands. Oh, yeah - and then there's the SHA-1 Collision Attacks that are moving from theoretical to practical. But surely nobody wants to know about learning languages at an older age or photobioreactors in space or the fact that scientists have created a living organism from human-made DNA...
