Nothing compared to loss of life and suffering of the Ukrainian people of course, but: this is sad. From the article: "It will cost over USD3 billion to restore the plane [...]". This seems extremely high. I'd expect maybe hi

Please consider adding instructions for reproducing the issue to this thread. E.g. what's the name of the business that's using your URL, and what's your URL? Without such instructions it's much harder for others on HN,

Hmm. This article refers to the data centre as an "Apple Factory" and misspells Tim Cook's name.

Interesting article, but would greatly benefit from a "TL;DR" summary at the top.

I would argue that this could be counter-productive. 24/7 immersion in an employer-owned and operated environment doesn't sound healthy from a work/life balance perspective.

Yes. If you had an XSS vulnerability via a GET querystring parameter, an attacker could encourage a victim to visit a URL which exploited the vulnerability (or, say, iframed the URL in another page which they got the victim to visit), then

It'd be interesting to see an animation of the diamond/square iteration progressing in 3D, starting with a flat surface and ending with the finished terrain :)

"Airplane Mode" claims to use a Parrot AR Drone 2.0 (~$290) for parts. The controller used is actually an infrared one from a smaller and cheaper (~$20) RC helicopter, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Syma-S107-S10

platform.twitter.com is currently CNAMEd to EdgeCast CDN. It looks like the CDN is sitting in front of Amazon S3; http://platform.twitter.com/blahblahblah gives an S3-like 403 response.

My guess: many CDNs allow you to exclude the querystring from the cache key, so it's possible that one person requested the URL with ?torrent in the querystring (which causes S3 to serve a .torrent response) and that the request hit a
