Good quality? I'm not sure. Just speculation on this one post: https://www.hackread.com/brian-krebs-website-665-gbps-ddos-a...

I'm a bit concerned about the reliability of that report since there are no strong proofs for their claim.

How many on the public internet? Too many. Here are close to 100k IP cameras on the public internet: https://www.shodan.io/search?query=ip+camera

Again, the speculation that it is IoT devices is unfortunately just that. However massive compromise of internet connected embedded device is not new: http://internetcensus2012.bitbucket.org/paper.html

This was a mixed traffic botnet. There are speculations that a large chunk was from compromised IoT devices.
Re:EmDrive: Nasa paper has finally passed peer review on Wednesday August 31, 2016 @05:14AM (#12397004)
TLDR: Now deleted forum comment by a scientist says that the paper "Measurement of Impulsive Thrust from a Closed Radio Frequency Cavity in Vacuum" has passed peer review and will be published in AIAA Journal of Propulsion and Power. A line of text was included that may be from the paper itself: "Thrust data in mode shape TM212 at less than 8106 Torr environment, from forward, reverse and null tests suggests that the system is consistently performing with a thrust to power ratio of 1.2 +/- 0.1 mN/Kw ()"
A team from MIT has created a product for this specific purpose using a very similar technology: http://www.emeraldforhome.com/

Just bought the book. He has a few paragraphs on the cover image and states "Many thanks to NASA/JPL for allowing reuse."

May I ask what you do for a living? From what I understand O1 is a very difficult visa category to get into.
Love the photos! Could you share info on what gear you used?
