The report is linked at the end of the article. Most phishing comes from .com (expected due to its size). The report says about .us: ".US is the ccTLD of the United States and had a very large number of its domains used for phishing --

The article linked to the full Ma Bell list: https://web.archive.org/web/20150317062651/http://www.ourweb... It's strange to me that there are 5-6 options for each exchange, instead of a canonical n

Have you heard the quip that in physics a cow and a point are equivalent? This is because the physicist cares only about the motion of the thing. In topology, a doughnut and a coffee mug are equivalent (a mug has exactly one hole, in the ha

Not hard to believe. Reliability was one of the points in Steve Jobs' _Thoughts on Flash_: > We also know first hand that Flash is the number one reason Macs crash. We have been working with Adobe to fix these problems, but they hav

I don't think a summary quite does it. It's not just a complicated flow, like redesigning an app would solve it. It's: multiple competing apps, QR code scanners, advertisements, buggy apps, buggy payment taking.

I think the point being made is that movies were made for the B&W end result, not just shooting color with B&W film. For instance, fake blood in B&W was often produced with black liquid. Colorizing it correctly just doesn't

This is not about 110K, this is about trying to verify the results related to LK-99. The LK-99 that is room temp superconductive seems quite difficult to produce at this early stage. But these researchers were able to produce their not-as-g

Residential toilets only use gravity to flush. Water flows down from the tank into the bowl. Commercial toilets use water pressure which helps clean the bowl with a jet of water but will also create much more of a spray outside the bowl.

What don't you like about the article? A lot of people don't understand the limitations of ChatGPT and I think it's worth talking about. I like "blurry jpeg" a lot better than "hallucination".

And isn't the refrigerant the same with a heat pump? The article says that heat pumps are "compatible with natural refrigerants with lower climate impacts". Why couldn't A/C units use the same natural refrigerants?
