It was sheer incompetence from the authorities. Unpatched CVEs from 2021, wide open internal network, extremely poor admin passwords, the whole shebang. We're lucky it was essentially a lone script kiddie that did a smash and grab looking for the AD (he's allegedly Algerian and he's been doing similar kinds of hacks before). If it truly were the Russians, they could have done MUCH, MUCH worse. From leaking the database and exposing hidden properties of various politicians, to silently modifying or corrupting data. Of course the authorities went through all the possible bad takes. From denying it even happened, to blaming shadow organizations (like your post does), to getting mad at the press for trying to contact the hacker. Now they are pivoting into "after all no sensitive data was lost and we're migrating it to new infra so no harm no foul".

But it seems it's dated March 30, so it's probably serious?

While I understand the need for research that also confirms the obvious, not sure why it's news. The whole point of the sketch is that walking like that is incredibly tiresome and nobody in their right mind would do it. My understanding is that normal gait is the most energy-efficient solution for the chosen speed (varying between individual due to their specific bone structure and weight distribution). I also seem to recall research during the space race about the optimal way to move on the lunar surface at various speeds.

That's true, but that's taken into account. Whether the correct adjustment is made or not, that's debatable. But, both phone and in person polls _do_ work just as well as they did, they're just way more expensive to conduct. Yes, this year exit polls will be slightly less reliable, since you have basically a normal poll and exit poll, but, then again, exit polls aren't about finding out the winner early, they're about figuring out what went wrong with the assumptions made later on.

Polling those people over the phone works and is being taken into account by most polls.

That's not very likely: https://fivethirtyeight.com/fe...

And by 1.1.1.1 I meant 1.0.0.1, of course, and why does Slashdot still not allow comment editing?

Nah. it's valid. If you have the IP routed to your device, there are ways to listen and respond on it.

To note that in most IP parsing libraries (or at least the ones I'm familiar with) 1.1.1.1 can be also expressed as 1.1 (if less than four numbers the last number is interpreted on as many bits are left till 32). So you can now be cool and ping 1.1 or dig google.com @1.1., making the old favourite, 8.8.8.8, quite a mouthful in comparison.

I'd expect someone reporting on IETF standards to know that "Internet Standard" is a different maturity level that "Proposed Standard". I get that "proposed standard" sounds less definitive for someone not used with the lingo, but surely one could have come with a different expression.

Because definitely the main purpose of minifying is to obfuscate code...

I seriously doubt anyone would object to your last point. Myself, I'd be proud if you picked my code (were I to actually stoop to writing JavaScript) to masturbate over.

Don't know what Exchange offers, but it's easy to share calendars (dunno if you can make a calendar private and only allow a group of people to view it, without manually adding the people one by one, but yeah), for people to view others' calendars, and to find 'free time for all'.

What the fuck are you talking about?

What you're saying is that if you call the company behind a closed source, they'll be happy to take your money and develop your feature?
