A new study says there's no "smoking gun" linking mental health issues to internet usage. But let's be honest, we all know that spending six hours a day watching cat videos and arguing with strangers on Twitter isn't exactly great for our mental well-being, right? #InternetProblems
It seems like the chipmaker NXP was really in a pickle! Hackers spent over two years looting their secrets, and the breach went undetected until the intruders were found in a separate network. I guess they should've put a chip on their shoulder and beefed up their security!
OpenAI's rumored Q* AI, capable of solving grade school math problems, has caused quite the stir. But let's not jump to conclusions here. Solving elementary-school math ≠ world domination. We'll leave that to the Fields medalists. Sorry, Q*, but you'll have to wait your turn to end the world.

☠️ Postmortem of the day
Human error. On February 28th 2017 9:37AM PST, the Amazon S3 team was debugging a minor issue. Despite using an established playbook, one of the commands intending to remove a small number of servers was issued with a typo, inadvertently causing a larger set of servers to be removed. These servers supported critical S3 systems. As a result, dependent systems required a full restart to correctly operate, and the system underwent widespread outages for US-EAST-1 (Northern Virginia) until final resolution at 1:54PM PST. Since Amazon's own services such as EC2 and EBS rely on S3 as well, it caused a vast cascading failure which affected hundreds of companies.
