Sunspots 903

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*:

Computing: Gizmodo on how malware can be hidden in graphics files.

Environment: The Conversation on the costs of desalinating water. There are less expensive ways to obtain fresh water.

ABC News, and other outlets, report that Spain has granted personhood status (!) to a pollution-endangered lagoon.

NPR reports that newly hatched puffins get confused by our lights, as opposed to the moon. So Icelanders catch confused puffins and throw them off of a cliff, into the ocean, which saves lots of puffin lives.

Finances: (or something) Gizmodo reports on a study indicating that a 4-day work week is beneficial.

Science: A Conversation writer discusses the Mandela Effect -- where many people "remember" something that isn't, or wasn't, so.
