Anatomy of an IoT malware attack - IBM Developer
Once your device is connected to the network, you can monitor and control it. One way to control it is through a smartphone, either connected to the gateway directly (inside your home, for example) or through an interface to a cloud service.

Some devices like CCTV security cameras connect directly to the internet and have dedicated IP addresses. You access these devices directly over the internet, bypassing the need for the device to connect to a hub or gateway.

Many IoT devices are installed in homes and businesses, but are exposed directly to the internet by modifying your firewall to enable port-forwarding. This allows the device to be conveniently accessed from anywhere on the internet to monitor and control it.

Kameron Hurley: There Have Always Been Times Like These – Locus Online
- Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom. –Ursula K. Le Guin

This California city lost thousands of homes to fire. Santa Rosa’s rebuilding has lessons for L.A. - Los Angeles Times
In Larkfield Estates, a neighborhood just north of the city limits, Brad Sherwood and his wife, Brandy, had long reassured their children that they had nothing to fear from wildfire. “I live on a valley floor,” he said of his thinking. “This is not the wild/urban interface” that is prone to burning. “They can stop it.”

He was wrong, as so many others have been in recent years when predicting what wildfires would do based on what they have done in the past.

The Most Mario Colors
"Most Mario games with polygonal logos have a different color per letter, but the sequence of colors in Mario’s name is rarely the same sequence across games.

This captivated me—for some reason—and I set out to analyze every Mario video game logo to see if I could find a pattern for specific arrangements of colors and to determine the “most Mario” color scheme."

Some price-gouging rules could be keeping high-end homes off L.A.'s rental market - Los Angeles Times
At issue is California’s price-gouging law, which limits rent increases after natural disasters. For properties that had been leased or listed in the previous year, landlords are barred from hiking rents by more than 10%.

The law includes a separate restriction for properties that haven’t been on the market previously. Potential landlords cannot charge more than a certain percentage above a federal rent payment standard. Although the amount varies by neighborhood and a unit’s number of bedrooms, the maximum allowable price in Los Angeles County for any newly listed property is $9,554 a month, according to a Times calculation of the federal data.

[Submitted on 21 Nov 2024] NewsHomepages: Homepage Layouts Capture Information Prioritization Decisions
Information prioritization plays an important role in how humans perceive and understand the world. Homepage layouts serve as a tangible proxy for this prioritization. In this work, we present NewsHomepages, a large dataset of over 3,000 new website homepages (including local, national and topic-specific outlets) captured twice daily over a three-year period. We develop models to perform pairwise comparisons between news items to infer their relative significance. To illustrate that modeling organizational hierarchies has broader implications, we applied our models to rank-order a collection of local city council policies passed over a ten-year period in San Francisco, assessing their "newsworthiness". Our findings lay the groundwork for leveraging implicit organizational cues to deepen our understanding of information prioritization.
