New this morning: @citizenlab.ca has identified an Israeli ad tech company — one that's placed ads on NBC News — that ran a secret side platform to let spyware companies plant malicious code to hack people browsing those sites. 45 Al Jazeera employees and journalists were infected!

nbcnews.comIsraeli ad company helped a spyware firm target Al Jazeera through online ads, researchers sayResearchers say Discover-Tech used online ads to deliver zero-click spyware, the first public evidence of the technique, with its ads reaching nearly 200,000 websites and apps.

We've lived for so long with this mythology that sure, the wealthy can be cruel. But at least the cruelty has a point. Profit! I'd like us to open our hearts to other possibilities. Power doesn't just corrupt! It can also breed truly reality-distorting levels of incompetence.

The first version of my Morrowind mod that adresses gender imbalance in every single village(that needed it) is now available. Big settlements & DLC towns are coming next, but might take a while. A total of 32 NPCs were gender swapped. www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mo...

the folks that killed Aaron Swartz just gotta kill Aaron Swartz a second time, that's all

I just don't understand how people can eulogize Swartz and simultaneously conclude that the world needs *more* intellectual property enforcement
