A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week.

Bookmark it for later!

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

WATCH | One person has died after a gas tanker collided with a small vehicle and caught fire on the N12 in southern Johannesburg, near the Comaro Road off-ramp, leading to a complete closure of the highway in both directions.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

19 APRIL 2026

UPDATE: FATAL COLLISION AND TANKER FIRE ON N12 NEAR BASSONIA: TOTAL ROAD CLOSURE

The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD), in conjunction with the City of Johannesburg Emergency Management Services (EMS), is currently responding to an incident involving a gas tanker fire on the N12 Westbound before Comaro Road in Bassonia.

Earlier this morning, a gas tanker was stationary on the N12 Westbound when a light motor vehicle collided with the rear of the tanker. The impact triggered a fire.

Regrettably, JMPD can confirm that the driver of the light motor vehicle sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased on the scene.

While the fire has been managed, the scene remains highly volatile. City of Emergency Management Services (EMS) are currently decanting the remaining gas from the damaged tanker into a secondary tanker. This decanting process is expected to take between two to four hours. The decanting process will be followed by mop-up operations which are likely to take several hours as well.

The freeway remains strictly closed to all traffic in both directions to ensure public safety during the transfer of hazardous materials.

The N12 remains a high-risk zone. Motorists are urged to avoid the area entirely and follow these designated diversion points:

* N12 Westbound (Toward Soweto): Traffic is being diverted at the R59 Reading Interchange.

* N12 Eastbound (Toward Alberton): Traffic is being diverted at Comaro Road.

To bypass the significant congestion, consider the following:

1. M1 North/South via the Booysens area.

2. R59 through Alberton.

3. Kliprivier Drive as a local bypass through the Southern Suburbs.

4. Comaro Road via Oakdene.

We urge motorists to exercise extreme patience and avoid the South of Johannesburg entirely if possible until the decanting and mop-up operations are complete.

A big update has come out from the 31 ex Rockstar Games devs who were fired in late October for gross misconduct: (Source: People Make Games):

▫️The hearing was only an interim application to resume pay, and the judge did not read the full evidence bundle, which runs to over 2,000 pages.

▫️Rockstar argued it dismissed only a small number of employees from the union Discord and said those individuals were involved in misconduct.

▫️The company claimed some Discord messages were sent during working hours, which it said gave Rockstar the right to access and review them.

▫️Rockstar presented examples of employees insulting management in the Discord, including phrases such as “cowardly corporate fuck,” “get fucked,” and calling a manager a “cunt.”

▫️Two of the dismissed employees were accused of leaking a supposedly “top secret” and unannounced GTA VI feature in the union Discord: 32-player multiplayer sessions

▫️The employees said this information emerged because the QA team had booked time off, leaving Rockstar unable to gather 32 people for a test session.

▫️One dismissed employee had only a single message in the Discord, responding to a question about crunch: “Nothing that I’ve heard in North QA! Will keep you updated if that changes ofc.”

▫️The employees’ lawyer, Lord Henry, argued that Rockstar breached its own internal guidelines when investigating the alleged misconduct. He also said UK common law requires “wilful behaviour” to justify dismissal for gross misconduct.

▫️Lord Henry argued that after Rockstar obtained access to the Discord from one employee to investigate specific messages, the company unlawfully accessed years of union-related discussions.

▫️Rockstar claimed a journalist was present in the Discord, this was Scott Alsworth, a former Bohemia Interactive designer and the elected IWGB Game Workers press officer. Alsworth wrote six articles for the British publication Morning Star, some of which referenced GTA VI.

▫️Rockstar also noted that at least 10 former employees remained in the Discord after leaving the company.

Millions of SAns can see straight through this government.
We voice our concerns and anger.
We out number those ANC members, politicking.
We literally have the power to bring enough awareness to make a change.
I think we can do more, but how?
