Castle Bravo was a ground burst and produced a crater about 2Km across. The debris from the crater ended up as fallout.

Tsar Bomba was detonated at an altitude of 4Km, the shock wave prevented the fireball from reaching the ground and producing a crater, so it produced less fallout.

> In IP geek circles, Manfred is legendary; he's the guy who patented the business practice of moving your e-business somewhere with a slack intellectual property regime in order to evade licensing encumbrances. He's the guy who patented using genetic algorithms to patent everything they can permutate from an initial description of a problem domain – not just a better mousetrap, but the set of all possible better mousetraps.

They used to offer that functionality but removed it years ago.

I've been using this userscript since then. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/1682-google-hit-hider-by-d...

It might be called Google Hit Hider by Domain but the author has expanded it to cover most major search engines over the years.

The Firefox version has the ability to block third party scripts masked as first party ones through the use of CNAMEs. Chrome doesn't expose APIs to let extensions do it.

Ignore it. They got the password from a data breach somewhere.

Change the password on any other site that you use that password for.

Using a password manager makes it much easier to use unique, complex passwords for each site you have a login for.

Their submission got flagged so it vanished from the new links page. They think HN is doing it automatically for certain sites.

I've had problems with pretty much every in-ear bud I've had up until I bought the AirPod Pro's. Not had a single time when I've felt they have even started to come loose.

I wear them with the stalks pointing forward at around 45 degrees.
