If there was a study of small "Mom and Pop" e-commerce businesses, you'd find a lot of that.

Computers are getting really good at learning things about the world and applying that knowledge to new situations, like being able to identify a cat in a photo. But researchers have recently discovered that there's a hitch: by adding some digital noise to an image, imperceptible to the human eye, it's really easy to trick a machine. Well, that's jsut silly

And while the induction of such casual slang is sure to offend some, none will likely take great umbrage than Apple zealots, whose zealotry is cited by the dictionary as an example of the proper use of the word. Wake up!

What dictionary did the m-w get it into?
Oh, wait. I see.
They only put it into their own joke book. I don't know why the site referred to it as a dictionary.

To understand why it is so difficult to defend computers from even moderately capable hackers, consider the case of the security flaw officially known as CVE-2017-0199. "Works as designed"

The new metal fabric is a flexible hybrid of chain mail and plate armor, in the horticultural sense of a hybrid: the offshoot of two different parents, having certain distinct and hopefully desirable characteristics from both. For all your space jousting needs?

If it's as tough to get through as the awful, stilted writing of the article (and the two modal pop-ups that are there to take the p1ss out of the law), the guys will be as safe as houses.

Ben Tippett, a mathematics and physics instructor at UBC's Okanagan campus, recently published a study about the feasibility of time travel. 0. Done. Give me my grant money!

The headline cracks me up. What else was he going to use, eggs?
"Researcher uses math to investigate possibility of something that requires math."

Just like the old saying:

And the writer calls the lecturer/teacher/professor an "instructor", so he's probably a dumb jock who never even understood the words on the front cover of a Maths book.

The Geometry Of Causality is a video that immediately springs to mind. It's on the PBS Space Time channel on boobtube and is a great watch if you've the mental fortitude.
Find it here: The Geometry of Causality | Space Time - YouTube
I suggest paracetamol or ibuprofen before watching the videos on that channel.

Feasible, maybe; achievable, probably not.
Time travel makes for a great literary device until you realize that it just can't work the way it has generally been depicted.
Doctor Who may have it best though -- go to the Time Vortex, travel through it, come out somewhere/when else.

A service that claims to be the only way to do email in a secure way is actually riddled with flaws, opening it up to hackers, according to a researcher. Why not just paint a big target on it while you're at it?
Although it does seem the 'easily hackable' is 'easily debatable'

If you're referring to the response from nomx, I wouldn't classify sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting "la-la-la-I-can't-hear-you" as "debate". It's more like the five minute argument[^] instead.

I like to think of software development as navigating through a dark, perilous wilderness. You have no map. If there is a map, it is because someone has already made your idea, so there is no map. The terrain is always uncharted, and always dangerous. The feature should take two weeks, plus or minus a year
