Meta Platforms declined to sign the European Union's artificial intelligence code of practice because it is an overreach that will "stunt" companies, according to global affairs chief Joel Kaplan. "Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI," Kaplan wrote in a post on LinkedIn Friday. "This code introduces a number of legal uncertainties for model developers, as well as measures which go far beyond the scope of the AI Act."

wired.com Kim Zetter 2025-07-21 18:28:07

In the summer of 2005, Tan Dailin was a 20-year-old grad student at Sichuan University of Science and Engineering when he came to the attention of the People’s Liberation Army of China. Tan was part of a burgeoning hacker community known as the Honkers—teens and twentysomethings in late-’90s and early-’00s China who formed groups like the Green Army and Evil Octal and launched patriotic cyberattacks against Western targets they deemed disrespectful to China. The attacks were low-sophistication—

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Exec Producer Confirms Identity of Rhys Darby’s Character

TCP-in-UDP Solution (eBPF)

The MPTCP protocol is complex, mainly to be able to survive on the Internet where middleboxes such as NATs, firewalls, IDS or proxies can modify parts of the TCP packets. Worst case scenario, an MPTCP connection should fallback to “plain” TCP. Today, such fallbacks are rarer than before – probably because MPTCP has been used since 2013 on millions of Apple smartphones worldwide – but they can still exist, e.g. on some mobile networks using Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) where MPTCP connect
