"... is now recovering at home ... is expected to make a full recovery ..."

To save you a click. (There's not much more in the article.)

Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention where he got it. Was he visiting some lab or did he get bit someplace some locals should be taking precautions?

(He's retired, but I don't know if he still has a presence in the industry or not, giving talks and doing visits.)

My thought on that is that they needed a new location so their image didn't just look like a modified version of another of the victim's public images, so NK searched for a stock photo for a professional looking location. Ars has just located the stock image they started from.

My guess would be that they needed to get a mid-point between existing photos of the guy whose identity they stole and the guy that would show up in the video interviews.

I think it's that the parent company took out huge loans to buy Redbox. And that's the streaming service they setup has ongoing costs and overhead, like licencing. And the loans they took out to make their own content.

Anybody else spend way too long trying to figure out why there were umlauts over the "n" in the second panel? 🤦🏻

Are you sure that's not 7931 you're looking at?

If Apple cares about protecting privacy they'd use an open, interoperable, cross-platform standard instead of just making cracks like, "just buy your Mom an iPhone."

I could be wrong, but "capital gains" to me means only on the increase in value. So if they bought the house for $200k, they would be paying tax only on the $300k.

It's a huge opening to get sued. So you could lose millions, but it'll never make you a cent. So most are advised to just confirm very basic information like how long the employee worked there.
