Malicious hackers can easily use malware named Mirai to take over enormous numbers of such devices, turn them into a botnet, and use them to shut down individual sites — or a significant swathe of the entire Internet — with distributed-denial-of-service attacks, ie flooding the wires with so much of their own traffic that nothing else can get through.

In the interests of fostering open debate we have set ground rules, both for essays and reader comments: use the pronouns people want you to use, and avoid all slurs, including TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), which may have started as a descriptive term but is now used to try to silence a vast swathe of opinions on trans issues, and sometimes to incite violence against women.

Simply by virtue of being Republican primary voters, the pool of voters he was competing in was better-educated and somewhat-more-affluent than the American norm, and so far there's little evidence for the proposition (beloved of Trumpistas charting his general-election path) that he mobilized a large swathe of the non-voting downscale public who either don't usually vote G.O.P. or don't vote at all.

"The sixth covers a fairly wide swathe of north Atlanta and the suburbs, and he lives near the district, so it's not like he reads as a stranger," she told me, arguing that after Karen Handel's involvement in a high-profile spat over Planned Parenthood funding at the Susan G.

The Council commissioned a data flow analysis of 10 popular apps running on Google's Android smartphone platform — generating a snapshot of the privacy black hole that mobile users inexorably tumble into when they try to go about their digital business, despite the existence (in Europe) of a legal framework that's supposed to protect people by giving citizens a swathe of rights over their personal data.

Redington's Behemoth reel has been a hot topic for a couple of years now, and although I haven't personally gotten my hands on it, the swathe of positive reviews and personal recommendations I've encountered — particularly Hatch Magazine's, especially after reading that it survived a tangle with a bottlenose dolphin (don't worry, it wasn't harmed) — have left me in good faith that I won't be disappointed when I get mine.

"The airport of Tal Afar has been liberated," Yusif al-Kallabi, a spokesman for Popular Mobilisation, a coalition of mainly Iranian-backed militias, told Iraqi state TV.

It's hard to say whether this was not just an elaborate marketing ploy, where Amazon was able to amass a huge swathe of data of a run of cities across the U.S. — which it can now use to build out other services in those regions more intelligently — rather than a genuine search for a location (or locations, as it turned out) that, at the end, of the day, felt very obvious when you think more about it.

But my completion total of just 33% after well over 20 hours in its world, this sprawling and spectacularly varied swathe of post-apocalyptica, speaks volumes to its side-quests, errand runs, hacking diversions (I love the Tall Necks, and can happily ride one until a Glinthawk comes and knocks me down), crafting and trading, some epic battles where men and machines mixed in puddles of blood and blaze, bandit camp clear-outs, "Cauldron" dungeons, and more.

I, for one, don't have a lot of counter space in my kitchen, and while you still have to have a burr grinder (or buy pre-ground coffee, which we don't recommend because you're beginning to defeat the purpose of this nice machine), I've found it a lot easier to have this small machine and a grinder off to the side or on the window sill so that I don't have a big swathe of space eaten up right in the middle of (or anywhere on) my counter.
