Have you shaving off your eyelashes or are you considering it?

“One screenshot of the hacker’s access to a TeleMessage panel lists the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of CBP officials. The screenshot says “select 0 of 747,” indicating that there may be that many CBP officials included in the data. A similar screenshot shows the contact information of current and former Coinbase employees. “

Oh. #WhereIsMySurprisedFace Someone used The Source (pun intended) and freed quite some data from TeleMessage users and conversations going through their servers using their TM SGNL app which is a modified Signal app that captures and records all messages and attachments. It wasn't me :) https://www.404media.co/the-signal-clone-the-trump-admin-uses-was-hacked/

That's less than 72 hours from finding the sources to analysing to identifying security flaws to extract data. #Oops, indeed.

I know #Python on its own is not a fast language, but I'm looking at code that rebuilds several small lists, one `arr.append()` at a time, (mumble 1920 // 16 times 1080 // 16 is) 8,040 times, and it reminds me of #Perl's read-only reputation.

Basically, no wonder you think that if this is the kind of code you're writing.

I'm no optimization wizard, but I at least try to learn the language.

Updates:

This is breaking news so details may shift as info comes out:

It seems a single cop showed up and tried to tell people they could not be naked at all in Denny Blaine Park.

This sparked MANY beach goers to argue with the cop about his request.

Comrades listening to scanners indicate more cops were enroute to Denny Blaine.

Gramercy Park, which sits between Lexington Avenue and Irving Place between 20th and 21st Streets in Manhattan, is a locked private park. At the center of the park is a statute of Edwin Booth, a 19th century actor today best known for being the less murderous sibling of John Wilkes Booth.

Only residents of the surrounding buildings are issued keys. There are a lot of rules, including against photography, so this is as close as we get. If you have to ask, you don't belong. Go away.

Captured with Phase One XT IQ4-150 and the Rodenstock 23mm/5.6 HR-Digraron, a sharp ultrawide angle that accommodated just enough shift movement to compose this frame. Captured from the now-shuttered Gramercy Park hotel, on a fittingly grey and joyless winter day.

The wide angle and high, single point perspective emphasize the dominance of the private, locked park's local footprint. Rather than creating public space, it seems to elbow us aside.

European intelligence agencies say Moscow has launched a campaign of sabotage, arson and disinformation against the continent. Sometimes, it is focused on specific targets related to support for the Ukrainian war effort, but more often it is simply aimed at causing chaos and unease.

Anyone want to help with some legal research for the Gjovik v Apple appeal?

Tell me about your favorite enforcement actions / lawsuit wins against megacorporations over the last few years related to environmental practices, violent crimes, consumer rights, labor and employment practices, white collar crime, and corruption. Other special mentions also welcome.

Focus on US cases is preferred, but international also welcome.

Some sage advice from the FT for the Labour incinerators of regulation (although the FT's 'target' was the current US administration):

'John F Kennedy was fond of the expression “don’t ever take a fence down until you know the reason why it was put up”. First laid out by English writer GK Chesterton, it is a reminder not to rush reforms through without considering the consequences'!

Especially in the case of financial sector regulation, Labour should heed this advice & urgently!
