Researchers in New Zealand are looking for the owner of a USB thumb drive that was discovered in a frozen seal turd—specifically, that of an Antarctic leopard seal. "Let it go, let it go. Can't hold it back anymore"
Personally, I wouldn't have tested it. At least not on *my* laptop.

I'm not sure if I feel more disgusted or impressed. The thumb drive passed through the digestive track of an Antarctic leopard seal and it still works!

Spotted seals are a northern species

Musta been USB 2. Since it was a leopard seal it was probably easy to spot...

I wish they'd published the brand of the device. I've yet to find an unbiased reliability test of USB drives, but this one pretty much seals it.

I don't know if that's a good idea. The competitors might say that the brand stinks.

People around the world and in the U.S., Germany, France and Belgium, in particular, are experiencing increased levels of online civility, data from a new Microsoft research study show. Are you elephanting sunshines serious?

This is real.
A certain person who lives in a certain-coloured house is making such a show of what negative and deceptive behaviour does that the zeitgeist is moving in the opposite direction, out of the knowledge that we can all behave that way -- and the realisation that we don't want to be like that.
We need to wall such behaviour in. Anyone got 5.7 milliard dollars I can borrow?

I've actually heard a "tinfoil-hat" idea about this: "It's a ploy by Microsoft to make their next Tay not go completely racist within seconds."
Another alternative was that Tay was turned off a few years ago, and Zo is very strictly told "not to use those words"! So all they're measuring is their own chatbots causing less offensive language than before.

If your username and password were part of a hack, Password Checkup will let you know. So can I: "yes" (or it will be shortly)
Not that this extension makes me nervous at all. I mean what harm could there be in giving all your user IDs and passwords to Google?

Earth’s north magnetic pole has been drifting so fast in the last few decades that scientists that past estimates are no longer accurate enough for precise navigation. Northish. To Alaska. Go northish, the rush is on

How is this news? We've known about it for a couple of hundred years.
National Post wrote: The shifting magnetic pole is a problem for compasses. Airplanes and boats also rely on magnetic north usually as backup navigation. ... And, even before computers existed, there were tables that were used to compensate for the drift -- which didn't even matter, back in the days of slow travel and less accurate maps -- so it hasn't ever been a problem.
Nowadays, with computer-assisted navigation, you don't even have to think about it, any more.
I'm not going to call it an article, because it's barely enough words for a decent paragraph, but whatever it is, it's a waste of web space -- and I dread to think what'll happen when the web is full.

And what the National Post didn't say was that the FAA evaluates these changes every 5 years and will renumber the runways when they get too far off; I believe Eisenhower International in Wichita has been told they need to add 1 to all their numbers

Yup. I've worked on airport software, and it can get really confusing when all the identifiers for the runways are one off -- e.g. runway 19 (one-niner, or they moan) is the runway 20 (two-zero) you've been working on.
It can get really confusing at airports like Schiphol, which has about 937 runways (give or take 925), three of them aligned the same way, so you have L, R, an C versions to deal with, as well, where 18R is the other end of 36L (except in the code, where the numbers are one out).

Dice's annual tech salary study shows low unemployment and stagnant salaries with Go programmers leading the pack along with Kafka and Amazon cloud skills, though job satisfaction also counts for developers and other pros who seem increasingly willing to move on. And that's without even passing it

I'm gobsmacked!
It's just "yet another article about statistics", but the analysis is actually intelligent, rather than the usual mindless-assumption-driven tripe.
What makes that all the more remarkable is that the source of the data is the remarkably uninsightful dice.

I'm pretty sure that's just because 99% of people using it work for Google, and as a bay area techbrofest with more money than Croesus they pay stupidly well everywhere in the country.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Staying relevant in today’s ever-changing digital landscape is critical to business survival. When it comes to web and mobile application development, ability to adapt to meet consumer demands is even more imperative. Another quality idea for you to discuss
