Big numbers. Obviously they have a large botnet. But as soon as they start using it people will figure out the infected units, find the vulns used to subvert them and start unwinding the network.
And the thing is, what goes around, comes around. Eventually.
Arbitron, now owned by Nielsen, had a technology that injected inaudible information into radio signals. The information contained the station and content. This was picked up by small recording devices that people ("panelists") wore on their belt. These people were monetarily compensated for the privilege of sharing their listening habits, unlike Facebook. At night the user would connect the device to a base where it would recharge and send the information to the main office. Later devices used cell phone technology to send the data. The information was then anonymized and provided to customers who paid to know what users were listening to and when.
Arbitron is my gold-standard when it comes to "extremely siloed", "micro-kingdoms" and "back-stabbing, throw-em-under-the-bus infighting". OTOH my manager was trying to do "Dev-Ops" long before the term even existed.
Frankly the World would be much much better off without the airline industry...snipsnip...
Total agreement. The Airline industry releases huge amounts...snipsnip... In the United States we should get with the program and do high speed rail like the rest of the world.
Still pollutes. The construction of the rail system, it's support infrastructure and the required "last mile" or "last hundred miles" shipping all contribute to carbonnara loading and globular climate change. IMHO wagon trains piloted by well trained monkeys driving teams of high-speed yaks is the way to go. I plan on signing an Executive Order making it so. ALL KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
Dam spell correction. I was trying to say "Yea. Like totally".
Launches from the top of a Hawaiian island would be closer to the equator and higher up in the sky to start with.
How about launching from the top of Kilimanjaro or Everest? Replicate the Cape Canaveral infrastructure on a couple different mountain tops to provide redundancy. Make a Tr*mp International Hotel part of the package and you've got a winner.
For the 5 major American political parties (Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, Green and Disaster Area), I tried to find the distance between their core platforms and reality. The measurement was so astronomical it required interpretation by a professor of Neomathematics from the University of Maximegalon. You know the one.
It's not about the attack surface. It's about knowing what runs.
...snipsnip...
I respectfully disagree. Attack surface is the result of a set of fundamental design decisions based on knowledge, or lack thereof, of the operating environment (OS and browser), toolset (compiler), and communication protocols. "Knowing what runs" seems to be more of a personal requirement to inspect the webpage source code. Even if you could reverse compile WASM code (which will obviously happen if it hasn't already) and inspect it, that doesn't help if the underlying pcode interpreter has security vulnerabilities unbeknownst to you.
So many people have predictions of doom-and-gloom or rainbows-and-roses. I'm willing to give it some time and see what actually happens. I'm no fan of Pai but I'm also not a fan of US Govt intervention. I've seen too many past instances of the "Modified Midas Touch" where govt involvement turns everything to s**t.

No kidding. De Beers is like the worst caricatures of evil capitalists.

They are not "like" a caricature of evil. They are evil. The very essence of violent, monopolistic corruption. They do not tolerate competition. They invented the modern perception of diamonds as rare, valuable objects synonymous with "love" and they mean to guard that perception like a saber-tooth mother hen. It's a crystallized piece of carbon. DeBeers has huge warehouses filled with raw diamonds. They restrict the supply to keep prices high.
$27,000 in real-world dollars? What exactly does it buy someone?
...purchases like this can bestow special status on buyers within Star Citizen's community, as well as offering extreme shortcuts to a more advanced role within the game itself.
So it's just like American politics. Hell. America in general.
> Can you stab or beat a whole crowd of people from 20 feet away?
It just takes longer. If the overall number is equivalent, who cares if it happened all at once?
Interesting. Can you demonstrate? Cut out the window of a hotel room on the 32nd floor and, from there, stab 900+ people on the ground below. You have 10 minutes.
Only a libtard would get offended by the word libtard.
It's funny how new liberals (i'm a classic liberal, suck it) can dish it out and call conservatives every name in the book. Xenophobe. Warmonger. Fascist. But the second someone makes a word for them, they get all butthurt.
Not to point a finger, but from my point of view this epitomizes, and modestly promotes, the polarization and micro-sphere thinking that I believe is plaguing the Democratic and Republican parties and our elected "representatives". These "leaders" are leading us down the rathole to societal self-immolation. Some people insist that they only reflect their constituents. If Congress is crazy then it's because the people they represent were crazy first. I don't accept that. Elected officials get far more media coverage than Joe Plumber, and many people still suspend disbelief when consuming their favorite media outlet. A congressional loon or rabid Secretary of Something spouting rhetoric gets inside people's heads.
We used to accept, or at least tolerate, opposing viewpoints within parties, if only for the sake of defeating "them" (the other party). Now the animosity between party members with different platform bullet points is just as virulent as that between wildly divergent platforms, I can only see this getting worse; amped up by social media silos, fanned by foreign governments, a fed a constant diet of vituperative invective by "big" media. America is slowly going insane.
I started sucking on $100 bills when I quit. That and the sublingual Bitcoin tokens really seems to be doing the job. I initially tried smoking $2 bills but kept inhaling a super-thin piece of wire. And those holograms. Hoo-boi. Them'll do a nummer on ya.
You could buy a 65" and cover half the screen with black duct tape.
Or use a magic marker to obscure every other pixel.
Or wear an eye patch.
Or tune it to "Fox" and leave it there. Half the IQ; half the truth; twice the number of ambulance chasing lawyer commercials.
Ok. Enough wise-assities. I have to agree and say I want a 40-ish inch OLED. They say facebook nudes look really nice on OLED.

I have a clay tablet. It says "Enoch's slightly used sheep, get two for the price of one!"
Go with the sheep. The chickens died. And before I could get my merit badge dammit.
... because I use noscript, I can only view about 10% of the web, and that's shrinking every day. But there is no viable alternative to this.
Clay tablets, pointed sticks and swallows (using Unladen swallow Delivery Protocol)
So lots of retirees were late for Bingo.

"And how about in the Web *user* community where the soon-to-be-compromised browsers will be running?"
Users? Who cares about users? (As long as they don't use ad-blockers)
Heard a great quote; can't remember where. It's probably a mimi or fifi or meme or whatever by now:
And as it turns out, even if you're paying for the product, you are product.
It's not about the attack surface. It's about knowing what runs.

Aunt R.D. Caw is getting shorter as she gets older. Still kicks ass at bridge though. She says it's allll in the viscous mantle.
Simply fat-fingered the pad. What he really meant to say was "Office will come pleated with deep steak covfefe Hillary. Occlusion!"
Guns don't kill people, DNS kills people.
Wellllll in this case nobody got kilt. And you could argue it was a domain name registration. But that just ain't bumper-sticker worthy.
