    Alan Turing will appear on Britain's new £50 note

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/15/business/alan-turing-50-pound-note/index.html

    Despite Turing's incredible work during the war, he was later hounded for being gay and ultimately driven to suicide. The man who invented the Turing machine and the Turing test, the man whose codebreaking work saved countless lives, deserved better.

    Posthumous honors can't make up for the past, but I'm glad to see them all the same.
