Corrupt stuff in third world countries do not get entire chapters in CERT books - that's where things like these are expected to happen. Over and over again.

..but when I entered my email address there the page told me they had sent me an email with further instructions. 3 hours later - no email. :/ Rant from a person who is not in Silicon Valley: This is so fucking typical of SV. No commit

a) Sensationalist headline - something that seems amazing to someone who is not e.g. russian - but the person is actually russian b) Outing the photo of a cute 18 yo girl "who just got raped" Yes - an interesting story - but this

Do you speak e.g. Mandarin? If not, how does cooperation with a team that is probably 90-98% Chinese work?

There was some noise about the GFW doing clever stuff(tm) to identify VPN traffic and punish the local IP for that. Was that real or hype?
