California's Corporate Cover-Up Act Is a Privacy Nightmare

news.ycombinator.com Rindala Alajaji 2026-02-28 15:45:12

California lawmakers are pushing one of the most dangerous privacy rollbacks we’ve seen in years. S.B. 690, what we’re calling the Corporate Cover-Up Act, is a brazen attempt to let corporations spy on us in secret, gutting long-standing protections without a shred of accountability. The Corporate Cover-Up Act is a massive carve-out that would gut California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) and give Big Tech and data brokers a green light to spy on us without consent for just about any reason.

M3GAN 2.0 delivers a bloody slay of a sequel, one that elevates Blumhouse’s sci-fi horror darling and gives its icon an action-packed upgrade–one that works, albeit at the expense of the original’s horror roots. You can’t keep a killer down, or a killer doll for that matter, as the end of the first film teased, as 2.0 opens with M3GAN (voiced by Jenna Davis, and physically portrayed by Amie Donald) having taken refuge in the cloud after he defeat.

Ubuntu disables Intel GPU security mitigations, promises 20% performance boost

Ubuntu users could see up to a 20-percent boost in graphics performance on Intel-based systems under a change that will turn off security mitigations for blunting a class of attacks known as Spectre. Spectre, you may recall, first came to public notice in 2018. Spectre attacks are based on the observation that performance enhancements built into modern CPUs open a side channel that can leak secrets a CPU is processing.

Sociologists have shown that “third places” such as neighborhood cafés help people maintain and use their network ties. Do they help local entrepreneurs, for whom networks are important?

Assembly Theory of Time

If the lineages are followed back beyond the origin of life on Earth to the origin of the universe, it would be logical to assume that the memory of the universe was lower in the past, which means that the universe's ability to generate objects of high Assembly is limited by its size in time. Some objects are too large in time to come into existence in intervals that are smaller than their assembly index.
