Pediatricians in the UK have finally answered one of life’s grand riddles: Just how long would it take for a Lego toy accidentally swallowed by someone to gracefully make its way back out? "We have top men working on it right now. Top... men."

It wasn't their top priority. They only had their number two guy working on it.

I note they took it easy on themselves by swallowing Lego figurine heads. I can think of a few Lego bricks that may not make their way through so smoothly.

At least this time they broke their own products (although that would be way more awkward and embarrasing for me)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

This article is really good and shouldn't be passed up.
No one cares about security until they are hacked.
And if security means there is no access functionality or makes accessing functionality extremely difficult then users are glad to be insecure.
Career advice: Good enough security trumps best security | CSO Online[^]
Article Quote:
The realization that most of the world doesn’t want the best security will help you advance in your security career.
One of the best things any computer security professional can do to further their career is to recognize that most people don’t really care that much about computer security. Few popular products sell because of security. Security absolutely doesn’t matter in most cases — until, of course, when it matters very much during a big hacking event. Most companies and their customers are very happy with the absolute least amount of security that has minimal impact on them. That’s just our computer security life. You must learn to operate within the confines of that social agreement.
Case in point: One of my most popular talks has been “The 12 Ways to Hack 2FA”. I’ve given the talk dozens of times. The key lessons are that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is good, but any MFA solution can be hacked. To that end, the current version of my talk now covers 18 ways to hack an MFA solution.
After every talk, at least one MFA vendor comes up to me to explain how their great solution fixes all those problems. Within a few minutes, I show them how five or seven of the attack types would easily work against their product. They usually go limping home.
Some vendors don’t give up. They come back to me with improved, five-factor (if there is such a thing) versions that do get rid of most of the attack channels. I’ve even come across a few that are really, really secure (but still not unhackable). They still walk away with a frown when I tell them that it’s unlikely that anyone will buy, much less use their product.
No customer is going to want to use an authentication solution that involves more than a few factors of authentication. Most want to do the very least to provide assurance to themselves with the least amount of “friction” for the customer. Companies know that anything that gets in the way of a customer using their product as seamlessly as possible is making them hemorrhage customers in a very real way.

A polyglot environment is a double-edged sword, bringing benefits along with complexities that may threaten the organization. Everyone uses their favourite, and the PM has to write the integration code?

Maybe you were once advised to “look for the padlock” as a means of telling legitimate e-commerce sites from phishing or malware traps. Unfortunately, this has never been more useless advice. Nice to know that security is important to them

As a side note: I can't think of any site I trust more than Krebs'.
Loads of kudos.

Experiments on mice that have been exposed to artificial radiation corresponding to cosmic rays over months showed that after only half a year, every single one of them suffered from Alzheimer's disease and starved. So: In your face, Elon Musk! You better get your lead suit ready.

What is on Mars? There is nothing to do there except try to get the red stain out of your pants from the red dirt. You could always try Arizona out first, thats basically Mars with with a couple cactus, some oxygen and internet.
