Which style manual does Slashdot use? The rampant use of ellipses in this summary does not help to convey a coherent meaning. I would think that the summary could have been shortened and conveyed the original intent of the author in a more meaningful way without the use of ellipses. The reader could then obtain more information from the original article, if they chose to do so.

Then why not just state that Gino was accused of fabricating research data.

But the numbers are real, are they not? The summary specifically states that Gino was accused of faking numbers. But Gino did not use fake numbers. Gino used real numbers that did not represent real data. "Gino was accused of manipulating data" is much more descriptive of what actually occurred.

Wow, what a horribly written article. I tried to wade through it but it's nonsense. "Gino was accused of faking numbers in four published papers. Just days into her digging, Schroeder uncovered another paper that appeared to be affected — and it was one that she herself had helped write..." Punctuation is a thing. Long dashes and ellipses to end sentences aren't. Don't get me started on the grammatical issues. How does one "fake" numbers? Either it's a number or it's not. I've seen better material written by AI.

I thought we got rid of all that junk that Jony Ive was producing. Is this is special consultant contribution to unusability?

set ts=2 I like nested loops. A lot of nested loops.

They're replacing fossil fuels? Batteries are energy stores. The batteries could also be used as a store for energy generated from fossil fuels, could they not? The sources of the energy are solar and wind and other renewables, which is great, but I'm afraid batteries are not a long-term solution because of their production from non-renewable sources.

Doubtful that they'll pay much, if any, compensation for this. And then that compensation will only be to people who have the time and energy to follow through to obtain it. All of that ignores the compensation limits which are often less than the customer paid for the ticket. In short, they already have all of the money from the customers and will get to keep more of that money by not performing the service. Even if they pay some of it back through refund/compensation, they have been able to use the money, interest-free, from the time of booking until the compensation is paid.

My experience is that airlines will use any excuse to cancel flights, whether legitimate or not. It doesn't seem outside of the realm of possibilities that they're slow-walking fixes, regardless of recovery method.

The overarching (or underlying) question is whether Google/Android (and Apple) are aware of the vulnerabilities being exploited by Cellebrite and whether they intend to fix them.

When can we just get rid of systemd? Seriously. Yes, I know about devuan, but I'm talking mainline debian and downstream from there. It seems quite obvious that systemd is a failed experiment, architected by people who had little production-level server experience on the platform. If there are elements systemd does well, let's incorporate those back into the standard init system and move on without it.

It's about time that they're ready for production.

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please explain again?

If this is the case, which I won't concede, exactly how many of the Microsoft tablets are sitting in a warehouse somewhere, only "sold" in order to make the numbers look good?

Actually, I've sort of been waiting for an @aol.com e-mail address to become retro/cool again. Like seeing the hipsters all wanting @aol.com addresses to show their hipster status. Apparently I'll need to keep waiting.
