May I suggest a book called Countdown to Zero Day by Kim Zetter? Its main focus is to talk about Stuxnet, but it goes into quite some details to put that attack into context. Under the deal that the US pulled out of, IAEA (International Ato

I feel like you're being downvoted for the first sentence, so let me try to elaborate on your point. That's the entire deal of fascists: take something that has no negative connotation and give it one. It's how they make thei

Maybe because that's not the only thing it does? It is what Google likes to pretend that AMP is all about, but you're also handing over the control of your traffic directly to Google, and being awarded with the SEO boost. That&#x2

That's because you don't understand what "opinions" are (at least, in this context). News stories should be brief and answer "5W" questions (who, what, when, where, why). As such, they're supposed to be ba

This doesn't make sense when you use the term "for a day". One day isn't long enough to change anyone's habits. But it's not like it would make more sense if the term was longer. The whole reason the Internet w
