This. I was wondering why Musk would be calling the boss of Tesla ("isn't that him?") a "Troll heavily invested in oil industry". Thought he was having another meltdown. Terrible subediting.
Hmm - wonder if since the victim used to work for godaddy that this was a grievance thing? Maybe he used to have the domain and perceived that it was taken from him by nefarious means? Anybody got a subscription to a whois history service that can take a peek? Doesn't condone this nutter's action, but surely there's more to this than a random attempt to grab a (presumably) valuable domain? I mean there are other more obvious targets if you're willing to do this at gunpoint!
Such as the EU. Brexit will leave the UK outside of this, and pressure for trade deals will sacrifice those kinds of protections that a large market can demand. The UK will diminish, and have to accept lower consumer protection, affecting consumer rights and leading to environmental impacts. What a ridiculous sacrifice on an altar of platitudinous "taking back control".
It may be due to the workplace (or just the carpenter) using that as an excuse, but really, UK health and safety regulations aren't what you think they are.
Have you reported your experience to your MP? The best mechanism in the UK for fixing this kind of exploitation is via the democratic process. If your MP is not interested, then report to your MP's opposition candidates and the Work and Pensions Committee. It may not get your issue fixed, but they will be interested in your testimony and will feed into future improvements.

Even if it was a vulnerability in the front-end (in a DMZ, I hope), a totally compromised front-end shouldn't have allowed anybody to exfiltrate that much data. The backend should be locked down with methods that allow the front-end to access only one per call, and access patterns monitored to disallow harvesting. The actual data should be at least another step away, and encrypted in case anybody steals a the whole as a blob. There's bad architecture here, regardless of any owning of a public-facing website. This might have been a long-drawn out slow exfiltration, but it doesn't sound like it. The whole infrastructure may have been owned, but again, that can't be blamed solely (or even mostly) on any vulnerability in the top layer.
This is poor science. The training set was from photos on a dating site from people who self-identified their sexuality. Presumably the photos weren't passport photos, but ones chosen by the individual to appeal to their targets. That's biased right there.
Also, there's an ethical question about using the photographs, as others have pointed out. I'm assuming that the subjects did not consent to have their images used for this purpose. They may be public images, but there's an ethical question about the use for such an experiment.
OK, it costs a fortune at the moment, but can I just give a cheer for a hot-pluggable format for NVRAM? I've used the Samsung 960 pro M2 2TB, and it's blinding fast, but my Ops guys won't touch it for production as it means downtime on a failure (and it looks like we've got a failure after 4 months - thank goodness for warranties)
I'm looking forward to 1PB in 1U, but my prediction for that being realistic is 2022 @ $120k.
The IRA where never beaten by counterterrorism forces.
Exactly this. The peace process was well underway before any James Bond voice prints and satellite tracking. Technology didn't bring peace to Northern Ireland.

I would have been 4/5. We had a game with an square grid (maybe 8x8 or 10x10) where you laid down one of a number of overlays with illustrations on each square. You would have to pair an image from the left side of the grid with an image on the right side. You'd do this with a couple of banana plugs connected by wires to the top of the grid, which had a lightbulb and buzzer. Each image had a hole cut out near the bottom, so you could make contact with the metal pad and hardwired connections beneath. Even at that age I eventually realised that this one here on the left always went to the same corner of the right side. So new overlays were never really scrutinized, it was following the pattern (with a bit of 3 trys per connection) of the first games we finished.

Never said? How about the memo from him on 2016-03-31,
"Make a one-time payment of $5-10 billon"

C'mon, everybody and their aunt have been pointing to instances where he said this, not commentary, or interpretation, he did say it.
Parma ham (you may have heard of it) has banned nitrites for 25 years, using salt (NaCl) alone. Still delicious.
Same as Word 2007 PDF export then! Maybe they were after a bug-for-bug compatibilty!
Even MS's wolverine TCP stack was available for 3.11 in '94.
Erm, unless you installed the free(ish) Trumpet Winsock. Get your point about IPX, though that was mostly LAN only.

Have you tried powertop (which has an --autotune - but not sure how reliable that is)? Useful to turn off stuff you never use that's draining battery.

PM Turnbull: "The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia."
Yeah, good luck with that.
Ding ding! Mod up - this is a tried and tested game.

Yeah, I think that was his/her point.
Similar, mid-70s.
