Incredible details keep trickling out about the Russian DarkSide hackers

May 11, 2021

Colonial Pipeline

In the seemingly never-ending cascade of news headlines about hacks, data breaches and ransomware attacks like the one from this weekend executed by a Russian criminal gang against a major US fuel pipeline, the bad guys often appear as a kind of faceless, nearly-anonymous menace. Compared to almost any other time when reporters write about crime, actual flesh-and-blood characters usually emerge - whether in the form of mug shots, arrest details, or through eyewitness accounts and the like. The hackers on the other end of a computer crime, however, enjoy a certain degree of freedom to operate ...

National Rifle Association One Step Closer To Dissolution

May 11, 2021

More good news.  From National Public Radio:
A federal bankruptcy judge dismissed an effort by the National Rifle Association to declare bankruptcy on Tuesday, ruling that the gun rights group had not filed the case in good faith.
The ruling slams the door on the NRA's attempt to use bankruptcy laws to evade New York officials seeking to dissolve the organization. In his decision, the federal judge said that "using this bankruptcy case to address a regulatory enforcement problem" was not a permitted use of bankruptcy.

The bankruptcy trial had paused other legal challenges the NRA had been ...

Strengthen Your Community by Focusing on Individual Members

May 11, 2021

A new report shows a downward trend in association membership over the past year. But it points to strong leadership and the ability to serve members in a more customized way as promising factors in ensuring long-term sustainability.

The new McKinley Advisors 2021 Associations Viewpoint report centers on the notion that there is no collective without the individual. That is particularly significant because associations are, of course, collectives, but the report notes that sometimes it is easy to lose sight of the unique needs and perspectives of the members who make up those communities.

Apple late last month introduced iOS 14.5, an update with all sorts of intriguing new features, including dozens of new emojis, more diverse Siri voice options, support for AirTags, and more.

The most notable iOS 14.5 feature, or at least the one that has garnered the most attention, is a privacy tool dubbed App Tracking Transparency.

Neanderthals had huge brains and ate a lot of carbs

May 11, 2021

neanderthal diet

Neanderthals and ancient Homo sapiens were similar in many important ways, but it's long been believed that our ancestors thrived because of their ability to adapt, and in some ways control, a changing environment. Homo sapiens are often depicted as omnivorous hunter-gatherers, while Neanderthals are usually seen as being primarily savage hunters, feasting on meat and little else. Over the years, we've gradually learned that this wasn't actually the case, and a new study provides some stunning evidence that Neanderthals not only ate plenty of carbs from starchy foods, but they did it so often that it altered the ...

SpaceX is literally sending Dogecoin to the moon in upcoming mission

Dogecoin moon mission

The cryptocurrency Dogecoin was created as a joke in 2013, and as of this January, it was worth less than a penny per coin. By the end of the month, it had hit 5 cents, and in May, it reached a new high of 74 cents. This meteoric rise uncoincidentally coincided with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk repeatedly talking about the cryptocurrency on his Twitter account, and its value peaked just days before Musk was set to host SNL for the very first time.

Banks are automating loan collections because they're anticipating a wave of loan defaults as COVID-related restrictions on collections expire, said Amit Kumar, vice president of financial services at RPA provider […]

Trump Eating GOP Alive

May 11, 2021

Surely there are dozens, probably hundreds of cartoons depicting Trump as he continues to single-handedly destroy the Republican party, but this one really spoke to me for its cleverness and simplicity.

These are outrageous times in which we live.  The vast majority of Republicans in Congress, and about 70% in the electorate itself, cling to the myth of the stolen election, or at least claim to.  Trump himself is almost as present in these people's lives as he was when he was president, and he has near total control of his party in Washington.

Of course, it's unclear what ...

The Best Books on Silkscreening for Learning a Storied Craft

May 11, 2021

Although silkscreen printing may not seem like the easiest art form to try your hand at outside a dedicated studio, it is in fact a highly approachable process. It took off in the United States during the mass social movements of the 1960s because it was an inexpensive way to print banners and posters. Andy Warhol's silkscreens popularized the method in fine art and became his defining style. Today, screen printing is used to apply designs to clothing as well as to create works of art. Whether you're interested in trying silkscreen printing at home or learning to navigate ...

Voyager 1 sheds new light on interstellar medium

May 11, 2021

An artist's impression of the Voyager 1 spacecraft, now 43 years and more than 14 billion miles outbound from Earth. Image: NASA/JPL

Until recently, every spacecraft in history had made all of its measurements inside our heliosphere, the magnetic bubble inflated by our Sun. But on Aug. 25, 2012, NASA's Voyager 1 changed that. As it crossed the heliosphere's boundary, it became the first human-made object to enter – and measure – interstellar space. Now eight years into its interstellar journey, a close listen of Voyager 1's data is yielding new insights into what that frontier is like.

1 Tech ETF to Take Advantage of Seasonal Volatility

It's an old Wall Street saying. When warm summer weather sets in, many investors go on vacation. So, trading volume in the markets is low and leads to a seasonal market weakness.

And after last week, some believe that it's coming through as scheduled this year…

May got off to a volatile start. Broad indexes like the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced their sharpest one-day drops since March.

On Monday afternoon, the National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report for its investigation into a crash of a Tesla Model S that killed the driver and passenger in Texas earlier in April. The crash made headlines because no one was found in the driver's seat, raising suspicions that Tesla's Autopilot driver-assistance system was involved in the deaths. This now seems unlikely—the NTSB says that video footage shows the occupants getting into the front seats of the car shortly before the crash. Additionally, the NTSB was unable to engage ...

Windmill Raises $3M for its Modern Air Conditioners Designed for City Life

As we close out spring in the city and summer approaches, New Yorkers will be largely reliant on window air conditioners to get through the hot, blistering days in their apartments. 75% of the buildings in NYC's five boroughs were constructed before 1960 and central air systems in buildings became more prevalent in the latter portion of the 1960s. Even in cases where a building is refurbished, many developers opt to avoid the immense cost of retrofitting central systems due to immense costs and regulations. While window air conditioners haven't changed much in appearance, Windmill modernizes the window air-conditioner ...

These dogs awaiting adoption cost money to the animal shelters often straining already tight charity-dependent budgets.
