"Extract and leverage account password hashes"
I could really leverage a beer after reading that.
WTF is wrong with "use"?

This?
"They don't go in for the fancy or exotic, but stick to conventional food like flightless bird embryos, minced organs in intestine skins, slices of hog flesh and burnt ground grass seeds dipped in animal fats; or, as it is known in their patois, egg, sausage, bacon and a fried slice of toast."

No it ain't.
I did hear a tale once (and if I can find it again I'll post a link) of a luser with a posh, expensive computer getting a new modem card (it was a while back) as his old one was knackered/obsolete/ not supported or something.
"It will take a day or two to arrive and for us to get an engineer to you to fit it." they said.
"What should I do with the old modem?" he asked.
"Chuck it" they said.
Modem arrived with a nice engineer to fit it.
"Where's the computer?" he asked.
"On the desk." Said the customer.
"That's the monitor" said the engineer. "Where's the (very expensive) computer box?"
"Oh, the old modem?" Says the luser. "I chucked it like you said."

Although I do note our erstwhile commentard above suggests this is an honesty option.
I was working for a large multinational, who should have REALLY known better.
An email circular arrived, completely unannounced, from an outside company.
The email was poorly written and stated that said company was looking after licence information for anyone driving a car on company business. We were asked to complete a form (downloaded from a URL that didn't seem to be applicable to either my employer nor this outside company) and send send a scan of my licence to a URL that was again apparently nothing to do with my employer nor this outside company's.
In short, ALL the hallmarks of a phishing scam.
I flagged the issue with HR, asking if the email was genuine - it was - and pointing out the glaring issues.
A year came and went and it was time for another round of driver verification.
EXACTLY the same happened.
They never learn, yet this was a billion pound international company.
Telling me where I can buy more of something I've just bought? Nope.
Telling me about suppliers I have used? Nope.
Telling me about stuff I have already looked like and decided not to buy? Nope.
Telling me about stuff a bit like any of the above but not actually like any of them at all? Nope.
Telling me what other people bought after buying what I just looked at? Nope.
Telling me whats "Trending"? Nope
Telling me that People in (close geographical location) are going mad for (dumb item or product that is so shit it can't sell on its own merit)? Nope.
It goes on and on.
Personalised ads are an utter irrelevance. I repeat: an utter irrelevance.
Dear Zuck
Piss off and die.

“more quickly offer its customers new, personalised products and services across multiple markets.”
Bollocks, pure and simple. You don't need umpteen twaddlebytes of data to mindlessly spew meaningless and irrelevant "personalised" advertising.
Let's make a list of all the advantages of personalised bovine excrement:

I rarely buy bread these days. Almost all breaded delight is courtesy on a Panasonic bread maker. It is our 4th machine, I think, replacing the last if a succession of cheapo machines that were simply worn out over many years of use.
Can't beat a semi-impromptu lunchtime snack that is half a small loaf of still-warm bread, butter (definitely NOT Marge or spread) and some good, smelly cheese. And a pint.
I do! I have a very elderly Tefal Actifry, inherited from my mum many years ago. It makes a fair fist of potato wedges and roasted spuds, using next to no oil or fat. If it does finally fail irreparably, I am pretty sure there will be a move by The Management to replace it with a current model equivalent- but definitely not a smart one.
To have a full program devoted to HRH being a real bloke, instead of a "royal"?
It'd need to be complete with ALL the quotes, either as recorded (if available) or suitably voiced, from the one in the article ("it's my wife's effin' water...." to "just take the effin' photo") and all stops in between.

Bollocks. I claim Prior Art
The self ermptying bin had been the subject of discussion no less than 50 - that's FIFTY - years ago, by a select group of clientele convened on a table on the far left in the public bar at the Prince's Arms, Boxmoor, Herts (now sadly long gone).
We had pretty much finished the based design which included, if memory serves me right, a pair of suitably stout gateposts and a quantity of tractor inner tubes.
Not only would the trash be 'taken out' but would be, given a suitably aligned front path, deposited in the general vicinity of the council's refuse depot.
The last I heard was that work was progressing on
a) improving accuracy
b) returning the emptied bin to its home address after any repairs had been completed and
c) minimising collateral damage either through better accuracy or suitable reinforcement of windows in the ballistic flight path.
