For some backround: This is the "Security gun rule". Under this regulation, the Social Security Administration will submit information on recipients of disability insurance to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System if they met certain “mental impairment” criteria[0].
As I understand it most of the peopled with disability insurance for mental impairment will be military veterans.

> The part that confused me is when they claim to have obtained MethBot source code, but never mention how.

On page 19 in the The Methbot Operation report they state that ‘White Ops detection technology was able to use a JavaScript language feature called “reflection” to gather extensive, detailed information about its inner workings.’
I have personally never heard about JavaScript reflection before, but it appear to be a debug method for one object to dump information or data about another object.
Maybe the White Ops software loaded some JavaScript that was able to dump much of its environment and send it back to White Ops?

As I understand it is currently unknown where the author got the data. If WeWorks published this in a publicly available API it is of course reasonable to chart it, but if the author somehow misuses the access he got as a tenant there, this is not (in my view) just an issue about the author publishing a negative blog post as the title indicates.

To be fear, they did not just publish a negative blog post about WeWork as the title may suggest, but somehow obtained proprietary data WeWork probably sees as a trade secret.
Many companies will revoke your access then.

Found one source that indicates that the payment may be substantial: "Financial Times reports that one digital media company (which asked not to be named) was told that it would cost 30 percent of its advertising revenue to be whitelisted by Eyeo and AdBlock Plus." - http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/02/over-300-businesses-...

This is going to be a hurdle for me that need a search feed that can be parsed server side. There alternative YPA (Yahoo Partner Ads) is client side only.
Will most people migrate to Microsoft Bing? The results are the same anyway, but the api format differs.

Are there any large publicly available archives of usenet one can download?
I need it for an information retrieval research project. I am aware of gmane.org, but do not think they allow bulk download.
The site analyses GitHub profiles and commit history to make a more extensive summery then GitHub does. I made it mostly to learn more about ranking algorithms and automatic text generation.
If you have GitHub profile you can look your self up here: https://www.findsosial.com/search
