The New Firehouse Hotel Makes Los Angeles’s Arts District the Place to Stay
By now it’s a classic, almost-cliche tale of urban revitalization: artists seeking dirt cheap studio spaces descend on a post-industrial, less-frequented part of town. They open a few galleries, a book store, a coffee shop. Then a groundbreaking new restaurant opens. Bam! Suddenly that under-the-radar, grimy stretch of warehouses is one of the coolest neighborhoods in town. Such is the trajectory of L.A.’s downtown Arts District, which began ... Full story

Scientists take DNA test, learn they're cousins who've collaborated in science journal
When people submit their DNA to companies such as 23andMe for testing, they’re usually not too surprised to find out they have relatives they haven’t met. But, it’s a bit different when you realize you have a cousin who works in the same field, shares some colleagues and friends, and once collaborated with you on research that appeared in a science journal back in the 1970s.

Unbanked 'pay £500 extra a year' for bills and services
People who do not have access to a bank account pay an extra £485 a year for everyday bills and services, research from a challenger bank suggests. More than 1.2 million Britons do not have a bank account, so miss out on discounts reserved for those who pay bills by direct debit, said Pockit.

Older women exploited by IVF clinics, says fertility watchdog
Older women are being exploited by IVF clinics "trading on hope", the fertility watchdog has warned.

IVF is less likely to be successful as a woman gets older. Since 2004 the number of women in their 40s undergoing fertility treatment has doubled to ... Full story

The Mueller report concludes it was not needed
How would you like to spend two years and $30 million assembling a report that concludes you were not needed in the first place? Voilà: the Mueller report . Nice work if you can get it. The report is appropriately thick, D.C. thick. It takes more than 400 pages to state the obvious: There was no collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians to swing the 2016 election. Zip. Nada. Nothing to see here. It goes on to tee up a question about ... Full story

Though it wasn’t immediately clear who ... Full story

Triton is the world’s most murderous malware, and it’s spreading
As an experienced cyber first responder, Julian Gutmanis had been called plenty of times before to help companies deal with the fallout from cyberattacks. But when the Australian security consultant was summoned to a petrochemical plant in Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2017, what he found made his blood run cold.
