Police handled 13,097 online fraud reports between January and May, an increase of 113 cases compared with the 12,984 logged in the same period last year.
But the amount lost was up from the HK$1.61 billion in the same period last year.

Here’s our best hope for hypersonic flight yet: the sodramjet.
Only two women from Canada have been to space previously, though Jenni Gibbons will join their ranks in the near future.
Pandya’s first flight to space will be on a commercial mission, which is different from the missions with NASA.
Grief-laden vitriol directed at AI fails to help us understand paths to better futures that are neither utopian nor dystopian, but open to radically weird possibilities.
The Culture of Iain M Banks

This insightful video essay about the late great Iian M Banks and his extraordinary series of books known as “The Culture” gives us a glimpse of the potential we have now as a species, set in a future where we have not just met that potential, but EXCEEDED it.

With bodies that move and hands that wave, deepfakes just got a whole lot more realistic.
Using the repurposed equipment, a team including Imperial College London researchers have measured parts of the Martian atmosphere that were previously impossible to probe. This includes areas that can block radio signals if not properly accounted for—crucial for future Mars habitation missions.
The results of the first 83 measurements, analyzed by Imperial researchers and European Space Agency (ESA) colleagues across Europe, are published today in the journal Radio Science.
To achieve this, ExoMars’ Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) teamed up with another ESA spacecraft orbiting the red planet: Mars Express (MEX). The two craft maintain a radio link, so that as one passes behind the planet, radio waves cut through the deeper layers of the Martian atmosphere.
Researchers demonstrate a method to control electroosmotic flow in nanopores without altering the constriction, potentially improving both capture and sensing capabilities.
