I don't have data, but it seems plausible that niche languages receive geometrically fewer attacks. I'm US, and looking at my call history 3/11 of the most recent inbound calls were spam which was correctly captured by google

Any details on what he did? Any details on the total magnitude of calls? I agree that lead-gen is also part of the problem, but fraud seems especially dire. The new fraud vector seems to be SMS initiated.

You stop when you want to stop. I picked up an affinity for K-pop in my 30s. Currently exploring a few other genres and also enjoying music that my kids are finding.

How does Logitech make money from this? Clearly a feature no one asked for. Although binding an arbitrary app to a button press is something that people do.

Tomahawk missiles do this, as do many other munitions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TERCOM

There's a duty of care* that doctors have. If there's no one else to care for your patient, you're required by law to care for them. (I'm not a doctor, but it's a real thing) It's one thing to risk being fired.

This is religious nonsense. Treason is about wars between states, not changing your religion.

Megaregions as a concept seems to make sense. Even as a resident of the aforementioned triangle, I'm not sure that we have much evidence for Texas exceptionalism here.

Huh, I always figured it was the Germans themselves that blew it up. To remove the blackmail angle.

Is Nvidia using AI to help design new GPUs? When that happens we're actually off to the singularity. Until then, I can't tell if we're in a bit of hype mode.

And Amazon emailing me about my package due to arrive today. Clicking the link is right there and very convenient to find out which one. They won't tell me which package because then gmail will be able to know what I'm buying (whi

I noticed that too, and significantly behind the market. It makes me wonder if they would be behind the market when rates fall too.

At the end of this, the company is in tatters, folks are shells of their former selves, and $manager gets a promo. The f*cking psychopathy. I'm anxious for them, and in horror.

I wonder how much an outage like this would end up costing them. Maybe it would even be net positive as some of their operating costs like data transfer would be down.

I wonder if an outage like this costs them any money at all. They probably save on data transfer and other operating costs.

Yes I've felt the same way. I feel like we have an instinctual need for social connection that we've filled with internet. Luckily, we do still have meat-space friends and family.

It would be interesting to get the numbers from the perpetrators. What do you imagine their success-rate to be? I think it's quite low, probably sub 1%.

They'll file an SAR either way. Isn't a big deal.

It cannot catch anyone, or even most people. It obviously catches some. Literally what happened is "Hi it's me the CIA, give us your money." And she did.

I can only think that this is an early sign of dementia, or that this person is so wealthy that $50k doesn't make them think at all.

This has been my experience too. Educational standards are _not lower_ for math and reading than they were when I attended American public schools a generation ago. (by definition, because my children are in it now.)

It's a solution in search of a problem. Everyone says "this is first gen, and it will only get better." I don't think that's right. "this is first gen, and it will only get cheaper." is more like it. Walki

This is kinda how we handle kubernetes upgrades. Dozens of MRs to change all the little things, then the final MR to upgrade the cluster.

If we pay them more, it's clearly wasteful. If we pay them less, do we expect better results?

The type of attack you're concerned with doesn't scale. The scammers would first have to collect your likeness to use to make the video or audio. It _would_ work for the more targeted attacks. People will have to establish passphr
