T-Mobile claimed selling location data without consent is legal—judges disagree

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-14 17:07:52

A federal appeals court rejected T-Mobile's attempt to overturn $92 million in fines for selling customer location information to third-party firms. The Federal Communications Commission last year fined T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon, saying the carriers illegally shared access to customers' location information without consent and did not take reasonable measures to protect that sensitive data against unauthorized disclosure. The fines relate to sharing of real-time location data that was reveale

Structured (Synchronous) Concurrency

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-16 09:02:15

Structured (Synchronous) Concurrency @_fsantanna I have recently learned about Structured Concurrency (SC), which supports nested coroutines with tied lifetimes. There are a number of libraries (Dill, Trio, Effection), and even language mechanisms in Swift and Kotlin. The similarities with Esterel and derived imperative synchronous languages (ISLs) is noteworthy. However, it seems that no bridges between these worlds (ISLs & SC) have been built. Research in ISLs dates back to the early 80s, a

Late one night in his dorm room, Minh Le, a computer science major, was having a hard time concentrating on his studies. Le was a whiz with computers and had little trouble with the material at Simon Fraser University, a public research school just outside Vancouver, British Columbia. But a video game he had designed in his spare time was earning Le and his co-creator more than $20,000 every month from advertising.

As supply chains generate ever-larger datasets and demand faster decisions, traditional central processing unit (CPU)-based systems are approaching their limits. To meet real-time requirements at scale, developers turn to accelerated computing powered by graphics processing units (GPUs). These massive parallel processors reshape how data is accessed, analyzed, and operationalized across the enterprise supply chain.

The Lives and Loves of James Baldwin

An interviewer once asked James Baldwin if he’d ever write something without a message. “No writer who ever lived,” Baldwin said, “could have written a line without a message.” This is true. People write because they have something to say. Baldwin had something to say, and he spent his life saying it. But many who thought they got his message didn’t get it at all. Baldwin was high-strung and emotionally labile. He wasn’t exactly charismatic—there was a strangeness about him which he did nothing

You knew it wasn’t going to be a pleasant exchange when—at the very end of last week’s Foundation episode—Demerzel barged her way aboard Gaal’s spaceship. Gaal may be a psychic warrior who’s lived for over 300 years, but Demerzel is an ancient robot. They aren’t strangers, having met at the very beginning of season one. But times have changed since then, to put it mildly, and they really don’t know much about each other. That evolves in a big way in season three, episode six, “The Shape of Time.
