> 
> But in 2024, the last person working on the project retired and SLAC shut it down without a plan to preserve or share the data it collected.
> 
> Happily, the tight network research community knew of PingER’s demise. Enter Jim Cowie, a computer scientist, academic, and entrepreneur.
> 
> In the latter capacity, Cowie founded a company called Renesys that between 2000 and 2014 gathered and sold intelligence about internet infrastructure – think of it as a precursor to Cloudflare’s Radar service.
> 
> A company called Dyn acquired Renesys in 2014, before itself being acquired by Oracle. During the back-office crunch that followed the two acquisitions, much of the data Renesys had collected over the years was lost.

> Sex toy maker Tenga notified customers of a data breach on Friday, according to an email obtained by TechCrunch.
>
> In the message, the Japanese company said that “an unauthorized party gained access to the professional email account of one of our employees,” which gave the hacker access to the contents of the employee’s inbox. This access potentially allowed the hacker to see and steal customer names, email addresses, and historical email correspondence, “which may include order details or customer service inquiries.”

> The hacker also sent spam emails to the hacked employee’s contacts, including customers, according to the email sent to customers.

I spent two days gigging at RentAHuman and didn't make a single cent

> These bots supposedly need a human body to accomplish great things in meatspace.

> I’m not above doing some gig work to make ends meet. In my life, I’ve worked snack food pop-ups in a grocery store, ran the cash register for random merch booths, and even hawked my own plasma at $35 per vial.
> 
> So, when I saw RentAHuman, a new site where AI agents hire humans to perform physical work in the real world on behalf of the virtual bots, I was eager to see how these AI overlords would compare to my past experiences with the gig economy.
> 
> Launched in early February, RentAHuman was developed by software engineer Alexander Liteplo and his cofounder, Patricia Tani. The site looks like a bare-bones version of other well-known freelance sites like Fiverr and UpWork.
> 
> The site’s homepage declares that these bots need your physical body to complete tasks, and the humans behind these autonomous agents are willing to pay. “AI can’t touch grass. You can. Get paid when agents need someone in the real world,” it reads. Looking at RentAHuman’s design, it’s the kind of website that you hear was “vibe-coded” using generative AI tools, which it was, and you nod along, thinking that makes sense.
> 
> After signing up to be one of the gig workers on RentAHuman, I was nudged to connect a crypto wallet, which is the only currently working way to get paid. That’s a red flag for me. The site includes an option to connect your bank account—using Stripe for payouts—but it just gave me error messages when I tried getting it to work.

> Off our bow, sharp-etched in the summer sunlight of January, towers a wild gaunt island of black cliffs and glacier-cloaked mountains. Icebergs drift all around us, a stark white fleet riding an ink-blue sea.

> Across half the horizon, south and east, marches a jagged succession of snow peaks. They seem only a few miles off, but our chart shows that they lie more than 50 miles away. They stand on the Antarctic Peninsula, the long, beckoning finger of the Antarctic Continent that reaches north toward Cape Horn and South America.

Ranked: The Most Valuable Sports Teams in 2026

Real Madrid is the only football team on the list, and they’re way down in 20th. I thought they’d be doing better, especially since football's the most watched sport in the world.
