For all those confused about this, this is a mild victory. Certainly better than the Patriot Act, but not as strong a piece of legislation as it could have been. EFF writes their opinion of it here: https://www.eff.org/dee

I wonder what would happen if you attempted the same study with AWS AMI's on the official images. Get the latest versions, don't update your distro, and see how many vulnerabilities you get. How often does AWS really rebuild the

Does AWS does this with their AMIs? Everything you listed can be applied in virtually the same way with VM images, and their are community based AMIs with all sorts of vulnerabilities and non-updated code, people just know not to use them o

I think the headline here is misleading and focuses on the wrong vote. There were two votes here 1) to extend the Patriot Act by two months and 2) to pass the USA Freedom Act (which would supersede the Patriot Act). The extension vote was

That was simply a vote to extend the current program by two months: "That was immediately followed by rejection of a two-month extension to the existing programs. The vote was 45-54, again short of the 60-vote threshold." I think
