As they're British, wouldn't it be MUMI?

So a "leak" is nothing more than a data share that they weren't paid for.

Our galaxy is rich in grease-like molecules, according to new research. Astronomers used a laboratory to manufacture material with the same properties as interstellar dust and used their results to estimate the amount of 'space grease' found in the Milky Way. Butterfat?

Last year, the Solar System was treated to its first known tourist. 'Oumuamua, an odd, cigar-shaped body, shot through our neighborhood at high speed, following an orbit that indicates it arrived from somewhere else. Exactly what I feel like doing these days

Computer scientists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a completely new kind of algorithm, one that exponentially speeds up computation by dramatically reducing the number of parallel steps required to reach a solution. All our performance problems solved! Lunch break time!

Finally, the WAG (Wild-Ass Guess) has been standardized...

In contrast, this new algorithm samples a variety of directions in parallel. Based on that sample, the algorithm discards low-value directions from its search space and chooses the most valuable directions to progress towards a solution.
Either the article oversimplifies the process or I, and anyone else who has used this approach in the last 30 years, should have patented the damn thing.

Your favorite tech companies are trying to trick you into giving up your data, and a new study shows how they’re using design to do it. More reason not to trust those tricksy designers

Microsoft gets lots of criticism, some of it deserved, some not. One thing I do respect is [sometimes] having the guts to pull a major feature. I've worked on, and personally seen, many projects where that courage was lacking resulting in a heavily delayed release or a release with a badly broken feature. (As I often lecture; developers often forget, or aren't aware, of how much technical support calls cost a company in real dollars, never mind reputation.)
(Sometimes the Visual Studio team needs that courage.)

Rowhammer is a hardware bug in modern memory cards. A few years back researchers discovered that when someone would send repeated write/read requests to the same row of memory cells, the write/read operations would create an electrical field that would alter data stored on nearby memory. Android is the new Windows, part n of a never-ending list
