Apple's 'Crush' iPad ad sparks backlash from creatives
The minute-long Apple ad showing art equipment and materials being crushed down into the new iPad Pro is being called heartbreaking, wanton, and creepy.

"Less than 6%" tithed by Billionaires, a pithy amount of ill-gotten gain.
--Tax the filthy rich to extinction.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a cryptographic one-way function that can serve as a counterfeit-proof way of certifying the authenticity of valuable objects such as works of art and tracing raw materials and industrial products.
If DNA sequencing becomes easier, it could also become a way to check passwords.
But, "A little more thought has already gone into the idea of using the technology for the forgery-​proof certification of works of art. For instance, if there are ten copies of a picture, the artist can mark them all with the DNA pool – perhaps by mixing the DNA into the paint, spraying it onto the picture or applying it to a specific spot."

Anomaly Detection in Certificate Transparency Logs
We propose an anomaly detection technique for X.509 certificates utilizing Isolation Forest. This method can be beneficial when compliance testing with X.509 linters proves unsatisfactory, and we seek to identify anomalies beyond standards compliance. The technique is validated on a sample of certificates from Certificate Transparency logs.

A fundraising event hosted by a charitable organization and linked to Donald Trump may have broken the law if it explicitly benefited his campaign, as an IRS rule bars charities from endorsing candidates for elections.

An Artificial Intelligence Approach for Interpreting Creative Combinational Designs
Combinational creativity, a form of creativity involving the blending of familiar ideas, is pivotal in design innovation. While most research focuses on how combinational creativity in design is achieved through blending elements, this study focuses on the computational interpretation, specifically identifying the 'base' and 'additive' components that constitute a creative design. To achieve this goal, the authors propose a heuristic algorithm integrating computer vision and natural language pr…
