It’s not a recent thing. Search for 1872 here, https://www.purduegloballawschool.edu/blog/news/california-n...

Some form of a ban on noncompete enforcement in CA has existed since then.

It has long been codified in CA business code 16600, https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...

I've used https://pairdrop.net/ before to share files between devices on the same LAN. It obviously wouldn't have to be a website, but it's pretty convenient since all my devices I wanted to share files on already have a browser.

I suspect they're saying ISPs doing it would be begging for censorship, not that your project is

At my place of work we use this great security too called Snyk. Definitely check it out

I think it does sounds really bad. After one year, 26 years lifespan. We get that by doing:

30 - (30.1 - 1) = 26.

Doing that again for the next year: 26 - (26.1 - 1) = 22.4.

So you now have 22.4 years of life vs an expected 28.

etc...

Do you have a source? My experience is the opposite is often true

I interpreted this along the lines of it not being a pigment, rather it's black because something about it's physical structure at a small scale causes light to not reflect back. Adding a thin coating of gold would not necessarily change that structure so it would continue not reflecting light.

Hah, yeah that sounds like a good analogy

Just from the title it sounded like this was unusual. From reading the article it is not. It doesn't mean the next cycle is starting sooner than expected

From Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin who filed the lawsuit:

> Once installed, Temu can recompile itself and change properties, including overriding the data privacy settings users believe they have in place.

Pretty scary/shocking if this is true

Also from the lawsuit:

>App store security scans don't flag Temu's risks, the complaint alleged, because Temu can "change its own code once it has been downloaded to a user’s phone"—which means it's essentially able to transform into malware once it is past the security checkpoint.

I really want to know if the above is actually possible? I would assume this would break code signing

What about more clickbait?

> Because of the many twists, the universe could contain copies of itself that might look different from the original, making them less easy to spot in maps of the cosmic microwave background.

> Musk has shown that you can profitably run a software company with 80% less staff

Is this a fact? Now that x is private do we know if they are profitable or not?

This was my intended meaning, thank you!

I wanted to point out that juries can make arbitrary decisions, nullification being a kind of example of this.

Juries are free to give arbitrary decisions, that is unrelated to precedent, which has more to do with how a judge interpreted a law.

Lookup "jury nullification" if you're curious to learn more about juries giving arbitrary decisions.
