Jokes aren't explicitly against the guidelines either, but I think the site likes to emphasize high quality content that will not alienate people who don't understand obscure references.
The slider of funding rounds is a neat idea but it's kind of hard to read in chronological order without mentally keeping track of which items appeared each time I slid it forward.
Would love to see a plain, non-javascript version of this content.
I've had a few instances of firefox on Mac and Linux starting to spin up the fans, and show high CPU usage, and I've had trouble pinning down which tab was causing it.
Is about:performance the best place to do this or is there something like Chrome's task manager that shows CPU and memory usage per page, and per extension?
It's not nothing, but it's interesting to note that the amount they spent is dwarfed by the amounts currently being spent by top democrats (and Trump's re-election campaign), several of which are in the low millions of dollars.

I think everyone would like to know how much actual influence it had in the election but I'm not sure we will ever know definitively.
The two biggest caveats about it in my mind are that 1) all the data was provided voluntarily by the tech companies, with no indication of how they determined what was a Russian account, and 2) they don't really have any way to measure what actual impact it had on the election, or how effective the disinformation campaigns were
Digging into this a bit more and reading between the lines of the nytimes article, it sounds to me like EternalBlue was indeed used as part of the attack chain, for lateral movement. It was not the only exploit used, nor would the attack have been wholly prevented without it.
Not defending Uber, but I don't think this article adds much to the discussion. I was hoping the feudal serfdom metaphor was going to be fleshed out more.
Isn't there a bit of selection bias if you work in infosec and all the companies you see are either in danger or recovering from a breach?
In the all examples you mention, was it specifically Gsuite that was breached? I've always belived Gmail had fantastic security, so I'd be very interested to learn more about any breaches in their core gmail/gsuite offerings.
Does this allow a salesman from company A to access customer info from company B (where A and B are both customers of salesforce) or is it just intra-organization?
Still bad if the latter, but catastrophic if the former
I don't understand why the general tone of this article is "Did you know disordered healthy eating is possible" but the review of literature found that most of the studies are of poor quality, and furthermore the DSM does not recognize this condition as an eating disorder.

It would be great to see a concise, relatively non-technical introduction to what is AMP and why is it bad for the open web that I could send to friends and family.
