The short answer is because that's the way it's done by governments which wish to appear democratic - break in and plant the files, cocaine, etc. then all the subsequent events starting with the police raid can be open, fair and transparent (maybe with a little hint to the prosecutor and judge).
Not Turkish Government hackers in a hurry. Maybe they're an all Windows shop. Of course they will be reading these forensic reports more keenly than most, so they don't make the same mistakes in the future.
OMG that explains it. Some guys from NASA came round and put one in my oven, said I had to eat pizza at least once a day. I thought it was a bit odd but I didn't like to question them, what with them being government scientists and all. Besides, I like pizza.
Tesla refer to it as Autopilot, with a capital A. If they didn't want people to think it was an autopilot then they shouldn't have called it Autopilot. Still, people often have an absurd faith in technology.
This doesn't seem right either:
"The car didn't stop -- it actually continued to accelerate after the first impact into the guardrail."
My question is why was it KrebsOnSecurity who told Eddie Bauer they had a problem and not the banks and cc companies?
On July 5, 2016, KrebsOnSecurity reached out to Bellevue, Wash., based Eddie Bauer after hearing from several sources who work in fighting fraud at U.S. financial institutions. All of those sources said theyâ(TM)d identified a pattern of fraud on customer cards that had just one thing in common: They were all recently used at some of Eddie Bauerâ(TM)s 350+ locations in the U.S. The sources said the fraud appeared to stretch back to at least January 2016.
A spokesperson for Eddie Bauer at the time said the company was grateful for the outreach but that it hadnâ(TM)t heard any fraud complaints from banks or from the credit card associations.
"Most theories of motivation propose that our daily choices of activities aim to maximize positive affective states but fail to explain when people decide to engage in unpleasant yet necessary activities."
If you don't always have the emotional energy to do unpleasant but necessary tasks, you'll either do them when you do have it (it's muc easier to cycle up a hill when you have momentum to start with) or wait until such time as the added misery involved in doing the task is outweighed by the increasing unhappiness from not doing it (see eg. washing up in Withnail and I). The definition of "necessary" beyond air, food and water depends on person and circumstance.
It's clearly possible to design a quiet server but it's not usually a major criterion. I was thinking of someone who decides they want to buy one and ends up with something made for a data centre, where pulling air through it is the major concern and noise isn't a factor. Put one of those in an office or even a workshop and you'll soon wish you hadn't.
That last bit seems to be a fundamental part of human nature: when two groups are in competition for a finite resource they will often resort to violence.
For when Silly String just doesn't get the message across.
Seriously though, you summed it up pretty well though I'd emphasize the effect of the Holocaust on the consequent take no prisoners attitude of the Palestine/Israeli Jews and, since the start of the Cold War, partisan US and Western support for Israel in preparing the ground for the rise of militant Islam.
The result is that there are thousands of Redis servers exposed to malware. Clearly administrators can't always be trusted to do what's right which is why I find Redis' attitude irresponsible.
by default, Redis has no authentication or security mechanism enabled, and any security mechanisms must be implemented by the end user.
If Redis shipped with sensible defaults, none of this would have happened.
I looked 3 weeks ago and it said that Microsoft will continue providing extended support (security updates) for Windows 7 until January 2020. They stopped providing other updates in January 2015. I didn't notice anything about specific CPUs.

How can we distinguish so called "scientists" from real scientists?

Modded Troll. Why's that?

"to be am editor at Slashdot"
Congratulations, you're hired!
"Dark Matter could contain anything... but conveniently the secular Left has determined what kinds of things it definitely doesn't contain."
If they're suggesting that it doesn't contain God or Trump, then I tend to agree.

I'm not sure that shining a giant laser pointer at the aliens is the best way to introduce ourselves.
Except servers are often very noisy.
Either it was God's will or she was Satan's emissary or possibly both (these things can be complicated).
Another reason is that the electricity it produces will cost more than twice the standard price.

It's still the same: just like the railroad won't allow you to take grenades on the train, Twitter don't want dangerous lunatics on their service.

More to the point, it masquerades as a Windows password filter so I guess it is always present but hiding.
It sits on Windows domain controllers where there's lots of genuine network traffic.
"Why is it importing so many people from India?"
Because for the same skills, they're cheaper. That's all.
"unlike American bachelor's degrees, obtaining a bachelor's in India takes only three years of study."
That's because they follow the English model - school till 18 then a three year degree course.
