Indoor surfaces can act as massive sponges for harmful chemicals
Indoor surfaces have an unexpectedly strong ability to absorb and hold harmful chemical compounds that can threaten human health for as long as a year, according to air chemistry researchers at the University of California, Irvine.

What I don't get is why does DHH even need so much funding and sponsorships for open source projects. Tens of thousands from framework, cloudflare and god knows who else.
When I made the (then) probably most popular JavaScript open source framework I got zero funding and sponsorship and was doing fine?
I'm not saying that people shouldn't get paid for work, but that dude is a fucking multi-millionaire who drives race cars as a hobby.

Amazon Threat Intelligence observed sustained targeting of global infrastructure between 2021-2025, with particular focus on the energy sector, by Russian state-sponsored threat actors.

Amazon Threat Intelligence identifies Russian cyber threat group targeting Western critical infrastructure | Amazon Web Services
As we conclude 2025, Amazon Threat Intelligence is sharing insights about a years-long Russian state-sponsored campaign that represents a significant evolution in critical infrastructure targeting: a tactical pivot where what appear to be misconfigured customer network edge devices became the primary initial access vector, while vulnerability exploitation activity declined. This tactical adaptation enables the same […]

Spontaneous formation of subsystem and bath under accordion-type driving
Floquet modulations often yield effective Hamiltonians not easily accessible in traditional time-dependent systems, which brings opportunities for exploring novel physics of quantum dynamics. We investigate a Floquet system exhibiting translational symmetry at any fixed time but the spatial periodicity is time-dependent. Such a system is a natural platform for studying thermalization and novel dynamical structures. We find that the single-particle Hilbert space spontaneously develops a structur…

us_congress: US Congressional co-sponsorship (1973-2016)
Two temporal networks of bill co-sponsorship tendencies among US Congresspeople, from 1973 (93rd Congress) to 2016 (114th Congress). Edges are signed, indicating the presence of a significant tendency to co-sponsor, or tendency to not co-sponsor, bills. Two networks per year, one for each chamber (House, Senate). Each file contains the signed network for a chamber of congress (H = House, S = Senate) in one session (e.g. 93 = 93rd…

Paid results are going to start showing up a little differently on Google search pages.

We saw an advertisement for Burger King's SpongeBob SquarePants promo Whopper. It has a square bun on the bottom, but the standard round bun for the top.
Wife said, "why not a square top bun too?"
I said, "it's not SpongeBob SquareHat. He just needs a square bottom bun for his pants."
Congrats Burger King, you've injected yourself into the national discourse.

Nadeen and her sister need $2,000 to pay their tuition fees to continue studying.
If anyone wants to sponsor their education, this is your chance to gift our world two young dentists.
