With Web Request, Chrome sends all the data in a network request to the listening extension – including any sensitive data contained in that request like personal photos or emails. As a result, extensions that leverage the Web Request API typically have access to read and manipulate everything a user does on the web. Because all of the request data is exposed to the extension, it makes it very easy for a malicious developer to abuse that access to a user’s credentials, accounts, or personal information.

Seattle police officer Felix Reyes, left, and Washington Department of Corrections Officer Zachary Vaders speak to a man suspected of drug paraphernalia possession last month. Late last year, prosecutors in King County, which encompasses Seattle, and neighboring Snohomish County became the first in the nation to stop charging people for possessing small amounts of drugs — heroin, meth and crack included — in virtually all cases. ‘Seattle Is Dying’
Todd Wiebke patrolled the Seattle streets many drug users call home before quitting the city police department last year in frustration.

Facebook is operating under a 2012 consent decree with the agency related to privacy, and the emails sent around that time suggest that Mr. Zuckerberg and other senior executives didn’t make compliance with the FTC order a priority, the people said. In one email exchange from April 2012 that has caught regulators’ attention, according to a person familiar with the matter, Mr. Zuckerberg asked employees about an app that claimed to have built a database stocked with information about tens of millions of Facebook users. For Facebook, those people said, litigation would make emails involving Mr. Zuckerberg and other senior executives more likely to become public, possibly casting doubt on the company’s renewed public commitment to privacy.

A compiled list of links to public failure stories related to Kubernetes. This compilation of failure stories should make it easier for people dealing with Kubernetes operations (SRE, Ops, platform/infrastructure teams) to learn from others and reduce the unknown unknowns of running Kubernetes in production. Please help the community and share a link to your failure story by opening a Pull Request!

To determine whether a subsequence is present in a time series, we can now set a distance threshold $\Theta$ and say

Now that we have a notion of subsequence distance and occurrence, we can set up a contingency table, and perform hypothesis tests such as $\chi^2$ or Fisher’s exact test. Going back to the scenario with TS of length 100, subsequence length $w=10$, and assuming a data set with 300 patients, we extract $300 \times 91=27{,}300$ subsequences. This approach is based on the concept of the “minimal attainable $p$-value” $p_{min}$:

“If we know $r_S$ (e.g. how often $S$ occurs in the data set), $n_1$, and $n$, we can construct the contingency table that will lead to the smallest $p$-value this subsequence can ever reach $\rightarrow p_{min}$.”

In the wake of a slew of fatal accidents involving elderly drivers, the government plans to create a new driver’s license system that limits senior citizens to cars with safety features such as automatic brakes. According to the National Police Agency, there were 460 fatal traffic accidents in Japan last year caused by drivers aged 75 or over. The agency, which commissioned three panels of experts to consider ways to prevent accidents caused by elderly drivers, released a report in April.

The Fore tribe in Papua New Guinea has a long history of ritualistic cannibalism, resulting in a crippling outbreak of a degenerative brain disease called Kuru in the 1950’s. The epidemic devestated the tribe, but some survivors of the Kuru epidemic are now found to show signs of evolved Kuru resistance and possibly other degenerative neurological diseases. When researchers began to look into the pattern of Kuru in the Fore tribe, they realized some families at the very center of the Kuru epidemic never developed this disease.

Not only can this encourage people to aim for notoriety just for the sake of it (think Elizabeth Holmes), but it makes the rest of us believe that correlation (of those outliers) is causation; in other words, success of those individuals is due to their offbeat ways. Continuous effort is a more thoughtful approach that leads to greatness when the following statements are true:

There is a famous saying from Napolean Hill which says, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way”. These small things in fact do not need to be done in a great way, but a good way, repeatably.

Through the Project, Cloudflare protects—at no cost—nearly 600 organizations around the world engaged in some of the most politically and artistically important work online. The promise of Project Galileo is simple: Cloudflare will provide our full set of security services to any politically or artistically important organizations at no cost so long as they are either non-profits or small commercial entities. I’m proud of the work we’ve done through Project Galileo over the last five years lending the full weight of Cloudflare to protect these politically and artistically important organizations.

But according to multiple sources who spoke with INSIDER, this is what has been happening in Saudi Arabia’s quest to track down the growing number of women who flee the country every year. Micah Lee, a computer security engineer and journalist, told INSIDER “it would be trivial for Saudi Arabia, as well as any other country, to track someone’s physical location if they know the IMEI number of their target’s phone.” Read more: Saudi Arabia runs a huge, sinister online database of women that men use to track them and stop them from running away
“Putting a new SIM into a phone will change its IMSI number, but the phone will still have the same IMEI number, so cellphone companies can easily see that these different SIM cards are being used in the same phone,” he said.
