Title: What exploited vulnerabilities have in common: A data-driven analysis of real-world attacks

You've taken a link (the article does not make your title claim) and phrased it as a fact.

> Yet only about 2,000 CVEs (roughly 0.5%) have been linked to real-world exploitation

(2023) You've messed up the title: Who Gives Men Money? the byline is a bit less clickbait, though: A look into scholarships

Don't know if you can edit the URL now (someone did the other day, although it could have been the mods), but there's an accidental anchor to section 7.

Can you stop with the flamebait posts? Especially the country specific ones, we're an international community.

That's not the problem space. There are lots of "smart" projectors now, too. Unless you mean overhead.
The sources are about the United Kingdom[0], which isn't Great Britain either.. the slang Britland doesn't distinguish between any of the above, other than sounding derogatory.

That's not going to lead to a different discussion (the initiating memo is not doubling down), and skips:

Proton's CEO Cancels AI 'Re-Interviews' (296 points, 255 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50307183

It wasn't AI that flipped Proton's charge (141 points, 81 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50328488

Britain is specific, as is Great Britain (you can check.. they're synonyms). Britland is a longer word than Britain, and not used.. unless you count the Urban Dictionary etc.

I hope you don't believe this, PGRust has fallen far from grace. Wire protocol support is useful (other than said recommendation)

Speaking of comprehension.. do you feel that Typically, when these other areas are added to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, the group is called the "Nordic countries.” supports your claim and not that of the person you're fighting with?

You argued people weren't bringing sources. Now you're arguing your sources are infallible while any that refute you are open to interpretation?

There are no private messages on HN. This, and your comments in the last 3 months look (AI) generated, which is prohibited in the guidelines[0] but also loathed by the community. Can only speculate, though.
