Sure, but here's some examples that may be worth a lot of money to the right person, or can just cause a lot of harm: - Regime critics with a channel on YT. - Vulnerable individuals and others trying to keep their identity a secret. Pu

There is often phishing campaigns targeting larger channels on YT, trying to trick someone with access to it into opening malicious e-mail attachments, with the end-goal of taking over the channel. Usually the attackers then put a livestrea

Fraunhofer must've taken a quite a hit to their budget, or so I thought, but it turns out that revenue from MP3 licensing was only about ~100 million EUR annually. Seems the license came quite cheap anyways.

Isn't there a likely faster analytical solution? At least I think sqrt, sin, and cos are generally considered to be slow. Maybe this: 1. Generate random X [-1 to 1] 2. Based on X you can calculate a range of legal Y that will still fal

Chances are with that number of trees affected, some would turn out to be resistant or immune and produce offspring that is as well. Surely they didn't plant a states' worth of genetically near-identical trees, right? Right? Edit
