this is obviously a great news for Physics lovers like myself. I have been always intrigued and fascinated by Physics and unfortunately did not able to pursue it as my career but having free access to Feynman's lectures would definitel

this is fascinating inside view of Apple's culture and the TV remote example given is why Google TV flopped and Apple TV sells well (although way less compared to their i-products). The article depicts a picture of Apple's design

Planet Earth is our home and will be. I would like to see we spend our resources to control pollution, contain global warming and save species from being endangered first before looking to outer space for help. And yeah future generations w

well this suggested advantage is based on assumption that the life-extension benefit will be applicable to only Google employees which does not seem valid because Calico is an independent company and not part of Google so in theory, even th

so if Calico is independent company funded by Google then what would Google gain by it? I mean how does this relate to Google's mission to "organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful." Is i

I just hope as many people as possible who were affected by this lockdown and who have not paid ransom yet would know about this. As per the Krebs' article only 1.3% paid ransom so it's not too late.

Yep. I don't understand how having 1 digit in one's email ID makes him more fraudulent than someone whose email ID consists of 2 digits. :-o

by gordon_freeman 12y ago
that's exactly my point. Looking at this habit of "email address with multiple digits" alone seems correlation rather than causation. Making an anti-fraud algorithm by including all or most of these habits might point to caus

Pretty interesting insights. Though in Habit #6: "Fraudsters Are Really Boring" : the digits in email addresses appear pretty obvious (non-fraudster) to me. We need to remember that there are 600 million + email accounts register
