You’ve just stolen a priceless artifact – what happens next? With a recovery rate below 10%, most stolen works are never found. But that doesn’t mean they’re easy to monetize.

Just gonna bookmark this for potential use later... Don't mind me.

Man Launches "World's First Waymo DDoS" by Ordering 50 Robotaxis to Dead End Street Over the weekend, a prankster went viral after calling some 50 self-driving cars to "the longest dead end street in San Francisco."

It used to be:
"My email was hacked"
"My computer was hacked"
"My Facebook was hacked"

Now it's:
"My car was hacked"
"My toaster was hacked"
"My toilet was hacked"

Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian says 'much of the internet is now dead' Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian said that the internet was less human now, and much more "botted" or "quasi-AI."

The Reddit cofounder referenced "dead internet theory," which asserts that there is more bot activity than human activity on the web.

I bet the mail carrier walked away proud thinking this was a perfect fit.

I'm really embarrassed from a large number of men who engage in social media.

That someone would read this post from two sisters who are widows from "the Florida USA" and respond looking for some action... smh.

And this guy's vote gets to counts as much as mine?

Police Break Up Lego Theft Ring, Recovering Hundreds of Beheaded Figurines

Police uncovered evidence of a massacre that will go down as one of the most gruesome in human history.

2️⃣ "Today’s real chain: React → Electron → Chromium → Docker → Kubernetes → VM → managed DB → API gateways.

Each layer adds 'only 20–30%.' Compound a handful and you’re at 2–6× overhead for the same behavior.

That's how a Calculator ends up leaking 32GB."

The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe The Apple Calculator leaked 32GB of RAM.

1️⃣ I've worked in the world of software development for 30 years now and THIS line resonated with me:

"Modern software is built on towers of abstractions, each one making development 'easier' while adding overhead:"

TIME TO RELEASE THE

TRUMP CHILD RAPE FILES!

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

Life can be rough.

A Brain Fart Scientist Explains Why NFL Players Drop the Ball at the Goal Line A silly blunder has occurred two weeks in a row. Experts weigh in on multitasking deficits, bottom-up actions and why this keeps happening.

If I had to do it all over again, I probably would've studied to be a "brain fart scientist".

This is ridiculous! #bookbans

Job hugging: the growing trend of clinging to your job People are staying in their jobs longer than ever

Just a few years ago, opportunities were bountiful. Workers were swinging from job to job and employers had to compete aggressively to retain them.

Now? We're all holding on to our existing jobs for dear life. For you middle-aged folks around my age - do you feel the same?

Came across this poem I wrote my sophomore year of high school (1986-7?).

It's not bad, but it feels derivative. Did I plagiarize this from somewhere?

Scientists Halt Toxic Brain Protein Behind Parkinson’s in Landmark Study Researchers have designed a peptide that stabilizes a key brain protein linked to Parkinson’s. Scientists from the University of Bath, working with colleagues at the Universities of Oxford and Bristol...

“By stabilizing alpha-synuclein in its healthy form, this could open the door to a new class of treatments that could slow progression in diseases like Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies. We look forward to seeing this research taken to the next stage..."

Passed out drunk and it's not even 9 am. I'm disgusted.

I can almost sympathize with Donald Trump who was just as deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize as I was of the Physics Prize. We were robbed.

Nobel prize in physics awarded to three scientists for work on quantum mechanics Trio led experiments that paved the way for the next generation of quantum technologies

Once again, I was denied a Nobel Prize for MY work in quantum physics in 1995. I published a paper titled, "Macro-deformed coherent states and the q-analogue quantized field" yet these bozos below won for their rather trivial work.

BIG NEWS! I've decided to leave my career in technology and start up a tree & limb removal business. My partners & I are good for only one tree a year and I try real hard not to remove my own limbs.

What Heather said is 100% true. This isn't a political issue. It's a moral one.

Polestar sets production car record for longest drive on a single charge 581 miles on a single charge is impressive, but haven’t other drives gone farther?

"Three 'professional efficiency drivers,' Sam Clarke, Kevin Booker, and Richard Parker, drove 581.3 miles (935.4 km), taking 22 hours and 57 minutes to complete the task."

We're getting there!

2️⃣ "that is politically and ideologically motivated opposition to any science that threatens powerful special interests and their political agendas. Unless we find a way to overcome antiscience, humankind will face its gravest threat yet—the collapse of civilization as we know it."

The current war on science, and who’s behind it A vaccine developer and a climate scientist walk into a bar write a book.

New Public Toilets Make You Watch Ads to Get Toilet Paper Social media video shows a toilet in China demanding a user watch an ad in order to receive a handful of bathroom tissue.

It was only a matter of time...

‘Nightmare bacteria’ found in SC as it spreads across US, CDC says. What to know The risk of getting the infection is low in the general public and more common in healthcare facilities.

This is NOT the type of thing I want to read about as the CDC has been gutted by the Trump administration and nutjob RFK Jr is in charge of the nation's healthcare research.
