An Innovative Phishing Style
A few weeks ago, I added one of the many scammers trying to phish people on Steam. Usually, I block them after they drop their phishing website link but this particular website was pretty innovative (at least for me) in its attempt.

The chat was pretty straightforward, the scammer wanted to give me an obviously profitable trade (they did keep trying to get me to add them on Discord for some reason). Near the end of the “trade” discussion, they asked me to log in to a convenient Steam backpack pricing website so they could get an idea of how much my stuff was worth.

Sustainable building, also called green building, is "the practice of creating and using healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance and demolition." (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.)

North Korea called South Korea on a hotline that's been dormant for almost two years Wednesday, a major diplomatic breakthrough following a year of escalating hostility that could pave the way for future talks.

According to South Korea's Unification Ministry, North Korea made the first contact via the phone line at exactly the time ordered.

Under current law, corporations face a range of tax rates, starting at 15% and rising to 35% on taxable income over $10m.

The new plan creates a single 21% corporate rate, effective in 2018.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Monday framed his foreign policy as an extension of his populist economic message, lambasting past presidents and trumpeting his own achievements during a speech meant to outline the guiding principles of his national security strategy.

In a speech that closely resembled a campaign address, Trump offered a laundry list of accomplishments and a reiteration of his view that Americans have been left behind as a result of decisions made by past administrations, including on immigration, the Iran nuclear deal, and trade pacts.

I am starting to get some great reviews, also very happy with the support the judge.me team has given to get everything setup in my theme and other questions I have form time to time.

Cheers.

Goodhart’s Law, as phrased by Mary Strathern: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” Honored more in the breach than the observance, alas. Our algorithmic world has turned so many measures into targets, and by doing so ruined them. Let’s talk about just one example: let’s talk about books.
