If it's not overdone it's not going to create significant nor long-term distractions. If done occasionally, most will find it "cool".
Just like telephone calls to notify us about interesting sales offers, emails suggesting tablets for erectile disfuncion, and adverts in TV shows? Nothing overdone or distracting, only occasional, very cool, and of course highly useful.
I personally would have marked the entire first word as rephrased: "[Intruders] are taking advantage of a vulnerability..."
Why change a word? That's worse. I always indicate that I have removed parts of sentenses by ellipses : "... hackers are taking advantage of a vulnerability..."
"Romanian" is politically correct European euphemism for gypsies.
Not in the UK. Here the euphemism is "The travelling community" even though they only travel when they are moved on by a court order. I say "euphemism", but the word "community" is now so over-used for any crap that it acts negatively with me, but perhaps that's just me. I believe the gypsies (the true ones, not general drop-outs), call themselves "Romany".
Observers said the plane appeared to swerve a bit on the runway during its landing, and Thomas confirmed that there were “a couple of corrections to line up in the slowdown.”
The video, which is constantly interrupted by annoying hype captions, give some good shots of take-off but the view of the landing is mainly obscured by spectators' heads. That makes me suspicious. There is no end-on view (like there is for take-off) to show this swerving.
Even before I read about the swerving, it seemed to me that landing could be a problem with widely spaced wheels, as one side can touch down significantly earlier than the other, leading to dynamic problems.
Diesel electric trains run on diesel fuel. I dont think you understand what the term means.
I have a better idea. Send the freight by train hauled by electric locos. Most of the main lines in Europe are already electrified (but obviously not in the USA which is decades behind in rail tech). A lot of industry and distrubution depots in the UK are alongside railways already, because they were originally placed there with rail sidings, now closed. Such sidings could easily be re-instated - only arcane beaucracy (and the associated insane expense) stands in the way.
I just don't answer any calls that I don't recognize. Period. Everything else, goes to voice mail.
I was recently reading a story about a guy whose credit card had been compromised. His CC details on a merchant's insecure website were visible to another customer (and probably other's too). This other customer first informed the merchant - and they did not want to know. The other customer then tried to phone the compromised guy (his phone munber was there and all) but only got hung up each time.
I believe that some of them dial an area code followed by random digits. Some area codes in the UK are so highly populated that they would get a >50% hit rate. I confess I once, out of curiosity, tried random numbers following a London area code and it did result in about that rate of hits (when I said "Sorry, I dialed a wrong number").
Since moving to a rural area with a low populated area code, I rarely receive a cold sales call - they don't bother with such an area.
Problem is, my cat gets called many names. As well as the official one, "Fur balls", "Pest", "Jaws", "Claws", "Fuzz-whiskers", "Hey you!" etc are used more often. He knows when he is being addessed, you can tell by his ear movement, but mostly chooses to ignore it.
There was a time, when knights were bold and engineers were men (I mean there were no women engineers), that some presentations would be spiced with pictures of naked young ladies thrown in here and there. Kept people awake. No naked selfies of the presenter though (which is perhaps what TFA is about) or anything else for the gays, thank God.
That almost sounds sensible. The way I find it works on shopping websites is that if I show interest in eg a garden fountain, it tells me that the last person who looked at that garden fountain also looked at frying pans. Why TF should I care what other people looked at?

[In the future] He will be lucky to get a burger flipping job.
Not like his high powered job at the college then. From his Q&A in th eFacebook link :
My responsibilities are
1. Set up stage for jazz band for practice.
2. etc
Right, because now that people have heard of "Pepsi" they will go out and buy one, since, you know, they never heard of Pepsi before.
So what is this "Pepsi" then? Do I have to buy one to find out or will an explanation do?
Human life in China is cheap, and there is lots of it too. So safety won't be a priority.

You probably buy a lot more stuff from PepsiCo then you realize.
No. Checked through the list and it happens I never buy any of that stuff.
There are plenty of corporations that still force their employees to use IE.
Microsoft told us that it was "part of the operating system", so they must be using it if they use Windows.

Bullshit. That's not how they were tracked down. RTFA
And he is allowed to work as a limousine driver? I hope I never find myself being driven by him.
Thank you for sharing your insight. The idea would never have occurred to us otherwise.
Where's the fucking landing video?
That's what I wondered. From the link :-

Were you that compomised guy, I wonder?

Your theory sinks due to the fact that my cat is more obedient than my dog :-S
"targeted advertising" by its definition is discriminatory.
Indeed. No adman wants to waste money advertising for janitorial jobs in a magazine about ocean yacht racing.
Diversity is good because racial and gender differences bring greater variety of views and ideas.
No, they all have the same idea - which is to favour themselves.

Boston Market was such a good acquisition
Other people who bought Boston Market also bought this garden chair. Can I add it to your basket?

Those Russian/Texan trolls are not able to hide their anti-Tesla manipulation
I'm a Russian or a Texan then. An interesting concept - being from the UK I get these stereotype images of a ten-gallon stetson or a fur hat.
The Rivian looks way more properly built for offload use than the Y though, for sure.
The Y is not built for off-road at all. OK, maybe on a lawn. I would buy a Rivian, it is getting back to the essentials of a 4x4.
