Someone's trying to get automated micropayments going again.

95% of wildfires in CA have a human origin, most of them unintentional. ("Only" 10% are arson.) Power lines of course, but also things like driving on a bare wheel after a tire blowout, parking in dry grass (the tailpipe can be hot enough to set it off), leaving a campfire unattended, burning your camping trash, gender reveal fireworks, even pounding a metal stake with a metal hammer have sparked fires that burned out of control.
And most recently, pushing a burning car into a ravine. (Why???)

"They found that many of the changes led to the underperformance of a protein called aryl hydrocarbon receptor, or AHR.
This protein helps to control cells’ responses to threats like pollutants and bacteria. If the AHR isn’t operating properly, the body can overproduce immune cells called T peripheral helper cells which can then attack healthy cells."

"Researchers at Chiang Mai University developed a system that aims to reduce deadly smog from agricultural burning, while shifting the blame away from farmers."

"- a registered domain or subdomain of a registered domain uses or delegates authoritative DNS services to a different provider than the domain registrar; this is called delegation
- the delegation is lame, meaning that the authoritative name server(s) of the record does not have information about the domain and cannot, therefore, resolve queries - the authoritative DNS provider is exploitable, meaning that the attacker can “claim” the domain at the provider and set up DNS records without access to the valid owner’s account at the domain registrar
