As far as I can see, so correct me if I am wrong, there is no need to store the private key (needed for decrypting) if the password is stored encrypted and the password entered is also encrypted and compared to the stored result, there is no need for decryption.
No. A password should be used as the parameter for a one-way function ("hash function") and the result should be stored. If the user logs in, the password given should be used as a parameter for the same one-way function. If the result is the same as the value stored, the password is the same. Good properties of such a hash function is that it's slow, that the probability of result values is uniformly distributed, and that similar input values don't result in similar output values.
Because pre-calculated tables exist it's good practice to add a "salt" to the password. Otherwise one just calculates the hash value of '1234567' and looks in the results for this hash value.

The vulnerability affected the core WordPress engine in versions 4.2 and earlier, a rarity among the constant parade of serious security issues affecting plugins for the content management platform. The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject JavaScript in the WordPress comment field; the comment has to be at least 66,000 characters long and it will be triggered when the comment is viewed
4.2 is considered older in the summary. According to Wikipedia: "4.2 (Powell) 23 April 2015". I doubt many people update each and every time.
By the way, I just don't get:
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO "wordpressusername"@"hostname" IDENTIFIED BY "password";
WordPress is not the only software to do this. And MySQL does support multiple users, each with different rights. I don't get it why a visitor of a website accesses indirectly the database with rights to drop all tables, modify all tables...
I have no idea what you want to do with 2+ USB ports. If I was to buy a MacBook I probably would also buy a "Belkin Thunderbolt 2 Express HD Dock" or "Elgato Thunderbolt 2 Dock" or similar because when I need more than one USB port I am most likely at my desk juggling with several USB devices. Those devices are not cheap, but provide a lot of connectivity options.
And if I was travelling with more than 2 USB devices I most likely have space for something like Anker's "USB 3.0 7-Port Portable Aluminum Hub" or similar.
I am afraid that needing more than one (or two) USB ports is in itself a niche. Not here, on Slashdot, but in general. And I think that's often overlooked at this site, that the "techies" are not the majority but people like my mom are.

Click & comment bait.
I use Org mode for documentation, I prefer it over Markdown.

I really wonder what people like you are doing on this site... My 8 year old daughter knows how to use Google and Youtube...
Same is true for radioactivity....
Isn't that a Swatch trademark?
Hackable as in can I install *BSD on it?

Ugh...
I think the question is: "how can we protect ourselves from getting infected by hacked Wordpress sites".

... then Wordpress is a Menger Sponge.

If you actually read the article....
I recently read "Lost on Planet China", it's a good read if you want to know more about how bad the pollution in China is.
Wouldn't surprise me if new employees are "asked" to post positive reviews...
Good question for the FAQ.

Makes more sense, no?
