Has anyone else observed that ratings inflation is even more extreme in the USA than in Europe or Asia? This goes back to eBay, where "A+++ five stars" basically means "I got what I ordered and it arrived in time" or &qu

I find it a bit uncomfortable with the repetitive use of "low-skill" in the article. You can actually be skillful in areas outside of STEM, finance and business.

This illustrates the need of proper vetting of any CDNs you rely on, and integrity-checking all external scripts. The culprit here was BrowseAloud (ba.js), which had been hijacked to mine Monero on visitors browsers. Several Swedish governm
