Personally I get sooo distracted with other co-workers running around, discussing stuff with each other (workrelated), having (work-related) phonecalls. When I was sitting in a large room with (only) 6 other people, i got less work done, and the work I did had much more bugs than when I was sitting alone or with only 1 other co-worker..
socially, yes it's much more fun, but from a business standpoint (at least for me), it's better to have no visual or audio distractions..
And let's not forget, some people are just much better as closing themselves off to their surrounding..

How did they show with ddos that the security is lacking? they didn't hack the servers... They are just a couple of morons who only want attention, nothing more nothing less..
And propably it wasn't even that hard, because everybody could have predicted that the servers would already be at full load on christmas day, so simple ddos would topple it..
But the only thing they did, was getting people to hate them even more..
But how did they get an interview if noone knows who they are? Get the bastards and cripple them (physically)..

Even tough it's an insensitive tweet, it is ridiculous if he's actually arrested for that... What the hell happened to 'free' speech?

What could possible go wrong............. We don't even have the computerpower to precisely predict the weather, and they think they can change the climate with this without real consequences?

This really is a sad day, those moronic scriptkiddies have won..
I really hope they can catch the persons who did this, and who made the threats. The should get life in prison if it were up to me (well actually they should just get the deathpenalty if it was really up to me)...
These morons ruined the lives of a lot of hardworking people..

This is nothing new, we already knew this 10-20 years ago, hell even before that.. It's time to really start thinking about how to transform our society to one which isn't reliant on having a job (as most jobs will in the near future be replaced with AI/robots)..

As far as I know it's not exactly the whole site they are targetting, but the specified files by seeding corrupt packages.. That's a completely different story then the mediahorny/clickbait story that is told here...

That's something I've always wondered, they're already busy with the rocket, so why would it still need almost 14 years to get the damn thing off the ground...

Well, security is all nice, but there are always systemadministrators which have access to everything.. And in this case it's certain, they got help from inside, and then it's a lot harder to do good security..

And you don't think the other methods won't have the same problems? you don't think you will see printed images on monitors for the graphical 'passwords'? also with 2 factor, how many people will loose their account for the token.. (yes 2 factor is slightly more secure ofcourse, but it certainly isn't as safe/monkeyproof as some people seem to think)

How many units of each type did they test? because if they only tested one of each, you cannot make any assumptions about and can't even call it a good test.. I've seen so many different results with the same HDD's.. Or even with SDD's, where my SDD died after a couple of months, but the one of my collegue is still plowing away after 2 years (SDD's from the same batch)..

Or they could just have interpreted the 32-bit integer as an unsigned 32-bit integer, and go on for a long long time.. As the # of views can never be negative..

because 2 so called PhD's say it isn't a solution, that definitly means it isn't a solution... NOT!
How many times have we seen so called PhD's not agreeing with each other even after a huhum 'good study'..
Because those 2 couldn't figure it out, doesn't mean it isn't possible...

They can't even find all the living organisms on this planet or in our own solar system, or even know how our own galaxy is even created, and they think they know only 10% of all galaxies have 'complex life' as on earth? Please get real.. We're not even a spec in our own galaxy, and I'm very confidend that in our own galaxy there are more 'complex life' out there than 10%.. let alone the much MUCH bigger galaxies...

yeah, but by the time you have decend hydrogen stations where you can actually refill your car, the electric cars already have new batteries that have the same mileage with a fuelingtime of a few minutes.. And let's not forget, hydrogen isn't the safest fuel there is, but I would assume those tanks are safer than regular gasolinetanks...
