I really want to feel happy too, but when I look at Ali Express' completely pathetic attempts to automatically translate their product listings in Dutch I'm not convinced at all.
When looking for electronics components online the word 'pitch' is used a lot (as in 0.1 pitch). This is consistently translated to 'frequency of tone' by AliXP's retarded AI.
In the Netherlands, people on bikes drive on the sidewalk (not allowed), fail to indicate direction change (not allowed), drive without lights after sundown (not allowed), drive intoxicated (not allowed) and drive on the wrong side of the road regularly (not allowed).
Neither of these common offenses is ever punished. The phone ban won't be either.
Only car drivers are ever punished and then only for offenses that can be easily policed with cameras.
"The artist died of a drug overdose at the age of 27."
Obviously that painting would be worth a lot less if he'd still be alive. I suppose Yusaku figured that out too. He then figured: what if I put 8 artists in a rocket and shoot them to the moon. If they die, prices for their work will go to the moon too.
"show that the DIY repair community has gotten extremely good at reverse-engineering Apple's official procedures"
Either that, or the procedures were leaked earlier. If you were an Apple repairman and some friendly DIY-er would ask you how to do it, would you show them? Or is that cause for dismissal at Apple these days?
I just discovered this bug today myself by chance, but AFAIK if you're using NAT (which most of us do) this will only reveal your 'local' IP addres, usually something like 192.168.0.x. Still nasty, but it won't immediately identify you.
Also, there's an ad blocker plugin for most popular browsers (uBlock Origin) that has an optional setting that blocks this.
"Prolexic took over as an intermediary, routing all the traffic coming into and out of GitHub, and sent the data through its scrubbing centers to weed out and block malicious packets."
So, they probably just filtered all UDP packets with a source port of 11211. Looks like it was not only the biggest DDOS but also the easiest to defeat...
I'm Dutch too, and I share your disbelief. First of all, I distrust most media reports on hacking, since I think they don't understand most of it.
Second, I think a 'secret service' type of organization keeps its methods secret as much as possible. In this case they seem all to eager to broadcast their achievements.
Tablet sales have fallen for the third successive year. Also, I have noticed personally that the iPads in my house get used less and less. Somehow the gap between PC's and smartphones seems to be getting smaller.

I'm in the EU myself, but that doesn't stop me from despising blatant anti-Americanism.
Unfortunately 20% is next to nothing...

In my socialized medicine country, the government deems the HPV vaccine unnecessary for boys so I get to pay ~600 EUR for each of my boys...
Show me a country that's not fucked up in some way.
"BitTorrent now accounts for 32% of all upstream network traffic"
Is that because the numbers look more impressive that way?

"even without the $1m incentive to go looking"
What difference would a $0.001 reward make?

I bet he'll cancel his ticket at the last moment.

Obviously. I remember thinking (over 40 years ago) that the ending would be pretty mysterious for people who hadn't read the book.
It's also pretty mysterious that this took so long to become 'news for nerds'...
What do these probes look like in the logs?
So Linus basically invented semantic versioning and now that it's become religion he's dropping it.
Cheeky bugger ;-)
You're right of course. I remember playing with 'beef' sometime and that was pretty sobering.

The page will reveal your local IP if your browser is vulnerable (no VPN needed).

It's just the idiots around me that are doing it wrong!
Suppose someone would have deleted Hitler's Twitter account. They would've been a hero now. Oh wait...
In the Netherlands governments sit for 4 years. This is not a law, just a statement of 'intent'. A lot can happen in 13 years.
Ingenious of you to randomly shuffle the letters so that only crypto-experts like me know what you're talking about!
Ridiculous conspiracy theory, just to cover up these diplomats went deaf from too much masturbation.
