Re:Physicists trap a single antimatter particle for a month on Sunday October 25, 2026 @08:45AM (#50230973)
I've heard that some of these same physicists are made up entirely of atoms themselves. Talk about hypocrisy... /s
Or if it's business-to-business, at least if the UK is anything like here in Denmark in that regard.
Re:Ask HN: What's the best book you read in 2021? on Friday December 24, 2021 @06:46AM (#29672821)
My favorite part was probably the American Pie discussion, but this paragraph highlights the pun overload in this book well:

Exodus 15:3 says “The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is His Name.” But this verse is ambiguous: “man of war” can mean either a type of Portuguese jellyfish or a type of British warship. Which one is the LORD? I suggest that He is the latter. A jellyfish is a primitive and ignorant animal, unworthy to be compared to the glories of God. But a warship is mighty and inspires awe, and divine comparisons are entirely suitable; indeed, God may be the only thing worthy of being compared to it. For it is written, “The LORD alone is worthy of warship.”

Re:List of 8000 security vulnerabilities in 1200 Wi-Fi routers on Tuesday November 16, 2021 @04:06PM (#29246344)
Sure, 1200 routers. Except someone listed single Synology applications as router models for some reason. Synology only has a couple routers, not 32 different models. If the quality of the rest of the data is similar, this list isn't very useful.

Wait until you learn that some phones have serial access through the headphone jack.[1][2] I don't know much about it yet, but I assume it can be exploited in some way, under some circumstances.
