Yeah, it is double edge sword. I wonder what could be done to prevent payments from going to fraudulent account.

Ask HN: Is there a register which company uses which bank?

In my country every company must declare on their website the bank account number. At least one number. I'm not sure what if they have more accounts in different banks.I wonder is there already a service out there that provides the data on account numbers and banks that companies use?Such list could be useful in preventing scams. Let's say that before making a payment to a company you would see...

I think that it is due to the fact that Linux update is broken into individual packages.

Mostly on Reddit. Reading about what is like to work in USA, and different countries.

Does this mean that there is no possibility of someone would create a cable with some malware in it?

Ask HN: Is one wrong result to blame for fall of Google stocks?

To me it sems to far fetched that one wrong result would undermine the value of Google stocks (https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/google-suffers-140b-wipeout-after-bard-ai-chatbot-gives-wrong-answer-20230209-p5cj3a.html).I think that it is more likely that this is related to financial results/expectations and plans rather than one.The story of one query does sound appealing for headlines...

The only email client that I acknowledge. Used it since the day one. I think that this refactoring is going to be a huge undertake. I hope that they will make it.

Ask HN: What will happen with content once the AI starts to dominate the search?

Both Google and Bing are bringing AI into their search engines. It seems to me that SEO will actually become AIO (AI optimization or whatever term they will invent).I remember the world before search engines and internet.

HN was the nicest to me so far, then Reddit, and SO ranks the last.

I don't know what are PhD studies like in USA, but from my experience I can tell you: go for the small wins. Something that will make you see that some steps are made. I start with small tasks so that I would get momentum. Like that 80-20 rule. To get 80 percent of things done in 20 time. And then when your engine is warmed up then go for the hardest part.

Ask HN: Is todays IT infrastructure to much depended on few key players?
