techcrunch.com Lauren Forristal 2025-10-25 16:11:15

TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, has been at the center of controversy in the U.S. for four years now due to concerns about user data potentially being accessed by the Chinese government. As a result, U.S. users have often found themselves caught in the middle of this tension. Earlier this year, the app experienced a temporary outage in the U.S. that left millions of users in suspense before it was quickly restored.

TikTok is tagging videos from Gaza with TikTok Shop products

In a video from a Turkish broadcaster, a Palestinian woman walks among the rubble, wailing. “Where are my three daughters, my husband, and my cousin?” She went out to get flour, she says, and came back to find her home collapsed, her family apparently trapped inside. Hit pause on the clip and something strange happens: a prompt reading “Find Similar” pops up. When a viewer clicks the prompt, TikTok automatically pulls videos that look visually close to the footage of the woman — and more distur

Cap'n Web: a new RPC system for browsers and web servers

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-26 02:05:32

12 min read Allow us to introduce Cap'n Web , an RPC protocol and implementation in pure TypeScript. Cap'n Web is a spiritual sibling to Cap'n Proto , an RPC protocol I (Kenton) created a decade ago, but designed to play nice in the web stack. That means: Like Cap'n Proto, it is an object-capability protocol. ("Cap'n" is short for "capabilities and".) We'll get into this more below, but it's incredibly powerful. Unlike Cap'n Proto, Cap'n Web has no schemas . In fact, it has almost no boilerp

Tell the EU: Don't Break Encryption with "Chat Control"

The European Union is pushing a dangerous surveillance law called “Chat Control” that would force tech companies to scan everyone’s private messages — even those protected by end-to-end encryption. This proposal would force tech companies to use “client-side scanning” — so your private messages, photos, and files could be read before you send them, opening the door for hackers, corporations, and governments to spy on your data. If passed, Chat Control won’t just weaken privacy — it will change

How Isaac Newton discovered the binomial power series (2022)

Isaac Newton was not known for his generosity of spirit, and his disdain for his rivals was legendary. But in one letter to his competitor Gottfried Leibniz, now known as the Epistola Posterior, Newton comes off as nostalgic and almost friendly. In it, he tells a story from his student days, when he was just beginning to learn mathematics. He recounts how he made a major discovery equating areas under curves with infinite sums by a process of guessing and checking. His reasoning in the letter is

What's the limit of what can be in a TXT record? Some places say 255 bytes. They are wrong. Within a TXT record there are multiple character-strings (RFC 1035 section 3.3.14) and those are limited in length (because a single byte is used for their length), however there can be many of them. The actual limit is limited by the size of the DNS payload, which for UDP is these days around 1232 bytes. That is obviously quite low.
