He’d long been familiar with computers; Malamud’s dad had let him play with a PDP at Fermilab when he was only eight or so. But after using the machines to help him with his coursework, Malamud went deeper into the technology. He began devouring fewer economics texts and more computer manuals. “If you read the manuals you can actually figure out how this stuff works,” he says. Instead of writing a dissertation, he joined the computer staff full-time, helping with the University’s connection to the emerging internet.

For the next eight months, Sabu continued to rage across the Internet as a core member of AntiSec, a blackhat hacking group within Anonymous. He helped to deface government and corporate websites and even helped bring down the private intelligence firm Stratfor—all, apparently, with the FBI’s blessing as it quietly gathered logs on Monsegur’s fellow “anons.” Law enforcement officials later told Fox News that Monsegur was working out of the FBI offices “almost daily” in the weeks after he pleaded guilty in August and then from his own home thereafter, with an agent watching his activity 24 hours a day. Sometimes agents were even posing as Sabu directly. On Christmas, just after the Stratfor hack, Sabu and I happened to be logged into the same channel on IRC, the chatting protocol that serves as the medium through which most Anonymous members planned large-scale operations. I asked the AntiSec members if they were worried about a law enforcement response to Stratfor. Sabu shot back:

This emergency response system was established in 2010 by Philippe Beaudette, the former director of community advocacy who recently left the Foundation to work at Reddit. On his LinkedIn profile, Beaudette notes that during his seven years overseeing the various Wikimedia communities, he and his team responded to almost 500 threats of suicide and other imminent harm to people and property. A recent report from the Foundation’s talent and culture team noted that, in one quarter, they handled five suicide cases that were escalated through the emergency email address.

Facebook declined to comment on specifics of its content plans. In a statement, Vice President of Media Partnerships Nick Grudin said, “We’re supporting a small group of partners and creators as they experiment with the kinds of shows you can build a community around — from sports to comedy to reality to gaming. We’re focused on episodic shows and helping all our partners understand what works across different verticals and topics.”

“But with P2P, will Google work?” said Rael Dornfest, who works at O’Reilly Networks. “Will we need a distributed Google, a ‘Doogle’?”

So to whom or what do we owe our gratitude for this horror gem? Like with every film, It Follows, which hit theaters Friday, had a talented team working in disparate roles to create one seamless work of art that looks like it born from a mist. But for this one, there were three people who did the most to chill viewers bone deep: writer/director David Robert Mitchell, his Final Girl Maika Monroe, and composer Rich Vreeland (aka Disasterpeace). Here’s how this unholy trinity made one of the best horror films of the year.

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island – Professor Ross Cheit put it to the students in his Ethics and Public Policy class at Brown University: Are you morally obliged to report cheating if you know about it? The room began to hum, but no one so much as raised a hand.

“Tweet” may be acceptable occasionally for special effect. But let’s look for deft, English alternatives: use Twitter, post to or on Twitter, write on Twitter, a Twitter message, a Twitter update. Or, once you’ve established that Twitter is the medium, simply use “say” or “write.”
