I think the paper is based on similar attack as demonstrated by Google here: https://leaky.page/ I'm using Chrome 90 and this attack still works. It can extract data from one page to another using pure JS and while it's only reading an array of bytes, it could probably read a password field or even an auth cookie.

But no clue about what Google is demanding and why Roku microchips needs to be upgraded?

My company main office is near San Francisco, they've already been using that strategy pre-pandemic. Essentially the office is empty the whole week beside Thursday where everybody came to have meetings. Some used to have their own office, as privilege, but lost it if they didn't come more than twice a week. Eventually nobody came, even on Thursdays. It's not a problem anymore since all our offices have been closed for more than a year now. If I have the choice when/if offices reopen, I don't think I'll go back, I'll stay home. It will make employees less engaged in the company, I've been considering changing job as WFH makes it easier to change.

Thanks a lot! This should have been the source of TFA.

Does not show the code obviously, does not explain what it's supposed to do, nor the fix or how it improves what... Just comments about how wonderful this guy is.

I think one of the benefits of using anything else than Python is better dependency management. Every time I have to use a Python project or sample that is more than 2 weeks old it's always broken and needs some tweaking. Sure you need to use venv, or your Python version is not the right one, use pyenv, or whatever... I never had this problem with Go, Java or Javascript projects/samples.

Hard hard is it to publish a the previous version again?

Do you really think the checkbox that reads "by checking this you swear that you have the required age of" 13 to 18 will make any difference? I really like the order of the complaints: copyright, currency, children!

The geography of the what?

I think it will be the other way around. Companies that want all workers to be at the office all the time will have a hard time hiring.

I'm a FOSS approver in my (large) company, and essentially we are not allowed to use libs with such kind of license regardless of its usefulness or license terms. The problem is that "evil" or "ethical" is too much of a blurry term that can't be clearly defined by a lawyer. So essentially it means that no large company will take the risk of using such licensed libs. That may be the goal, but I doubt it would eventually bring good to the world.

Everything is not about money. Some artists will prefer a large crowd of fans and less money that an empty room with tons of money...

What would it change? If your name is John Smith you can shitpost as much as you want, whereas Khaleesi Furthoidla is a bit more unique...

They want the followers, not the previous tweets.

WebAsm will be used to kill adBlockers, Youtube-DL and make web-DRM a standard. JS may be a pain but at least you can inspect/alter what your browser is loading... for now.
