Re:DDoS Attack Against Dyn Managed DNS on Saturday October 22, 2016 @01:14PM (#12769513)

Schneier: "I have received a gazillion press requests, but I am traveling in Australia and Asia and have had to decline most of them. That's okay, really, because we don't know anything much of anything about the attacks.

If I had to guess, though, I don't think it's China. I think it's more likely related to the DDoS attacks against Brian Krebs than the probing attacks against the Internet infrastructure, despite how prescient that essay seems right now. And, no, I don't think China is going to launch a preemptive attack on the Internet."

Re:David J.C. MacKay, Machine Learning pioneer, dies on Thursday April 14, 2016 @09:12PM (#11501437)

A professor of mine instructed me to "devour" MacKay's "Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms". To this day it is one of the only textbooks I have purchased on my own initiative (not for a class), and this is after I read many chapters online. I also thoroughly enjoyed his video lectures [1] for a course he taught based on the book.

News of his passing deeply saddens me.
