If you search the Web for the history of fitted sheets, you’re going to find a reference to exactly two patents: 1959 - Bertha Berman of New York: FITTED BED SHEET CONSTRUCTION (PDF, 355Kb) 1992 - Gisele Jubinville of Alberta: MATTRESS COVER/FITTED BED SHEET (PDF, 492Kb) Now, if you actually look at the patents, what you’ll see is that Berman’s was a more complex design that consisted of multiple pieces (but does feature elastic!)

When Dylan Field pops up on my Zoom screen, his face is a mixture of giddiness and fatigue. He’s back at work, after a whirlwind trip to New York City where he launched his company Figma on the New York Stock Exchange, bucking the trend of multi-billion-dollar startups staying private. Even before it became clear that this might be the wildest public launch in years, the Figma world—fans of the app, employees (known as Figmates), and investors—had already turned Wall Street into a block party, h

Google discovered a new scam—and also fell victim to it

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-05 20:05:34

In June, Google said it unearthed a campaign that was mass-compromising accounts belonging to customers of Salesforce. The means: an attacker pretending to be someone in the customer's IT department feigning some sort of problem that required immediate access to the account. Two months later, Google has disclosed that it, too, was a victim. The series of hacks are being carried out by financially motivated threat actors out to steal data in hopes of selling it back to the targets at sky-high pr

In the last twenty years, aircraft surveillance has moved from controller-based interrogation to automatic broadcast.

The protocol for ADS-B is open, and low-cost receivers can easily be used to intercept its signals. Many rec
