Apparently not: https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10/tv Top 10 is pretty dynamic. Longest item there was there for 6 weeks and is new content. Hilariously "Fireplace 4K: Crackling Birchwood from Fireplace for

They tried, didn't they? The move into content was forced when the content producers started pulling the licenses.

Disney didn't forget :( They chose to stop, because they valued creating social change more than creating compelling content.

She is saying that the "open web" Mozilla envisions is one where Mitchell Baker and her friends get to censor and manipulate content directly in the browser. Obviously, people of the same ideology as her will agree with that, be

A lot of the money they make from Firefox usage gets spent not on Firefox or the web but on social justice activism, which is invariably exclusionary of ordinary European and American men. For example, they have an entire sub-fund devoted t

Article can be summarized as: by the time he moved to Munich he already didn't like Jews because he thought they were cheap and wouldn't pay a fair price for his paintings. That's unfortunately the only information available

Mmm, you should have doubts about that. Between 2010 and 2016 car production was growing, not in decline. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/car-production Then it turned around and entered a period of decline

It is. Their interest in AI isn't about how to make it cheaper or more effective, it's how to make it "healthier" and "safer" by which they mean more ideologically controlled.

Revenue from Google is not falling fast enough for Baker to care any time soon. She'll be retired before it's a problem.

Yes, but that wasn't a zero day. WhatsApp's own team found that, and it wasn't a zero-click exploit, you had to be in a video call with the attacker.

I think memory safety + integer overflow checking by default would have blocked many of these. Not the hardware mitigation disable but getting to the point where that matters required some safety problems that can be excluded by better lang

What they mean is there's evidence in the captured binaries and from other victims that this campaign has been running for at least four years, not that they were compromised for four years. It actually sounds like they detected their

It had everything to do with Ahsoka's pacing problem. The ideological pandering problem - which literally everyone from Iger to South Park knows Disney have - is just a symptom of the relentless ideological capture of Disney's own

Messaging is Disney's problem. Their writing quality has gone to hell because they systematically promote and protect executives/writers who see films as a mere vehicle for spreading their message, not for telling a good story.

It's all relative. Chrome has plenty of sandbox escapes. Microsoft found one lately where Chrome was passing strings from JS straight into the Windows TTS engine, which turned out to be parsing XML from it with a C++ parser that was fu

The whole story starts with them detecting the anomalous network traffic, so not sure what you think they did wrong.

Sure. Rewrite sensitive parts of their stack in memory safe languages. They have Swift after all. A lot of the iOS security improvements over time have really been more like mitigations that try to contain the damage when the giant of pile

iOS has a reputation for having the best security, but how many times have Android/WhatsApp had these sorts of silent-instant-root exploits via invisible messages? I don't remember it happening. Maybe the strategy of writing lots

The first is someone who is disagreeing with you and actually putting their money where their mouth is, which is the opposite of sophistry. You don't argue with any specific claim of his so it's impossible to know what you think i

It says the same thing I just said. Did you read the report or just the summary? The summary looks like some civil service bias, as it doesn't actually state the most important facts to know clearly. But the report itself does make it

No because "we" don't pay academics, universities do. It's their decision to hire more professors instead of paying the existing ones more, it's their decision to create siloed departments etc. The system has plenty

No it didn't. The economy was growing at the time of the vote and continued to grow after it, a bit faster even. Unemployment hit record lows. You may be thinking of the predictions of the remain campaign which very heavily featured th

The Spectator often makes valuable points that are hard to accept but true. One of them is that British climate efforts are pointless, it accounts for such a tiny percentage of world emissions that it could drop to zero and be a rounding er

That's measured already since the 60s. You never see any reference to it because what it shows is a constant rate of increase that is entirely unaffected by literally anything you can think of. Rise of China? No impact. Lockdowns and t

Brexit didn't happen in 2016, just the vote to begin the process, so the fact that Bloomberg are making this claim is misleading. Additionally when Brexit actually did get implemented it's had no effect on trade, in fact trade wit

Academia is funded to the tune of billions of dollars a year. If they don't have the funds to check their own work then it is a damning indictment of the funding process, one that suggests governments are utterly unqualified to be fund

The biggest problem: there's no signs anywhere in the article that she tried to stop John moving on and doing it all over again. She didn't even tell her colleagues about the fraud let alone his new employers. This sorry tale is w
