I changed the title to the latest video by Tom Scott, because the title itself changes every time you load it. The number went up by 100,000 views between the time I first encountered it and when I posted it here. That's one of those "whoa" things that he takes only a few seconds to explain, but it's a neat introduction to what he's actually telling us about, which is how computer code makes software communicate with other, totally unrelated software. However, this capability can be used for evil. Still, this kind of code is ephemeral, and won't last forever. He used, as an example, Star Wars weather, which we posted eleven years ago, but I didn't realize Tom Scott was behind it. -via Metafilter
