Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) servers are now being abused by DDoS-for-hire services to amplify Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. I hope those RD servers are properly licensed, or Microsoft is going to come after them

After eight years, Loon couldn't find a "long-term, sustainable business." Maybe next time, don't name the company after a synonym for 'crazy'

I didn't see in the article, were the balloons tethered so they'd stay in a usable position?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

From a different article[^]:
Quote: The mechanisms utilized to give direction is one of the best technologies of Google Loon project. Usually, the Loon balloons navigate by moving up and down maximizing on air currents that take them where they ought to be.
So, nope on the tether. Google-magic instead.

In a WFH world, employees are entitled to these seven rights to do their work successfully. "My home is my office. To interrupt is lawless."

There are 7 options... please choose 3.
And that in the best cases...

Quote: Article 5: Employees are allowed flexible work hours, within reason.
That's nice, but the reasoning sucks. Why does working at home require this massive flexibility, but working at an office doesn't?
Adding to this is #6, which then says that everyone but IT can do whatever they damn well please, so IT now has to accommodate that.
(Honestly, the article gets sillier. Working remotely with flexible hours isn't enough, the company should build you a perfect remote office. Most companies barely provide a functional non-remote office. Why do I suspect this isn't written for us, but the author trying to get his company to pony up some cash and benefits.)

RE: companies paying for their employees to have safe working spaces: "people shouldn't have something now because they didn't have it before anyway" is just a bad faith argument.
ETA - also, people can't send their kids to school or day care these days, and their employers can't just force them to neglect the (significant) care that those children need. That's just one example out of many of why schedules often need to be more flexible in a work-from-home context these days.

Titan’s largest sea of liquid is estimated to be up to 1,000 feet deep, judging from new radar analysis, making it an ideal location for a future autonomous robotic submarine to explore. Release the Kraken! (submarine)

“Cryptocurrencies are a particular concern,” said Yellen. “I think many are used, at least in a transactions sense, mainly for illicit financing.” If you outlaw bitcoin, only outlaws will use bitcoin (oh, wait...)

Predictable. Bitcoin offers some privacy and a little competition for the schiessedollar.

I was thinking more a long the line of "you get what you paid for". They paid for Biden, this is what they get.

Is this a measure of popularity or something else maybe...

Google on Friday threatened to make its search engine unavailable in Australia if the government went ahead with plans to make tech giants pay for news content. Condemning them to a life with Bing - for shame!
