The closer to midnight on a day you submit a paper to the arxiv the closer to the top of the "new" list you are the next day. I assume they submitted at 23:59 and were aiming for 0…

How would you go about handing a lost device with this? A passkey reset email which would have a link that you could use to register a new device?

Unlikely, dead dark stars being dark matter candidates is a theory known as MACHOs (massive compact halo objects) If they exist we would expect to detect them as they pass between …

In many cases the status page of a service is an unreliable indicator (e.g. AWS's) so I find HN / Twitter to be a much better signal that an incident that affects many people is ha…
