The app takes a cut of the earnings — between 19 and 30 per cent — but according to Mozes, the resulting pay is still similar to the industry standard.

Repeatedly touching a scooter for 10 minutes in Oakland on Wednesday afternoon did not result in a response or call to police.

In this paper, we show that public USB charging stations pose a significant privacy risk to smartphone users even when no data communication is possible between the station and the user's mobile device. We present a side-channel attack that allows a charging station to identify which Webpages are loaded while the smartphone is charging. To evaluate this side-channel, we collected power traces of Alexa top 50 Websites on multiple smartphones under several conditions, including battery charging level, browser cache enabled/disabled, taps on the screen, Wi-Fi/LTE, TLS encryption enabled/disabled, time elapsed between collection of training and testing data, and location of the Website. The results of our evaluation show that the attack is highly successful: in many settings, we were able to achieve over 90% Webpage identification accuracy. On the other hand, our experiments also show that this side-channel is sensitive to some of the aforementioned conditions. For instance, when training and testing traces were collected 70 days apart, accuracies were as low as 2.2%. Although there are studies that show that power-based side-channels can predict browsing activity on laptops, this paper is unique, because it is the first to study this side-channel on smartphones, under smartphone specific constraints. Further, we demonstrate that Websites can be correctly identified within a short time span of 2 × 6 seconds

Tor is used to communicate anonymously by millions of daily users, which rely on it for their privacy, security, and often safety. In this paper we present a new attack on Tor that allows a malicious USB charging device (e.g., a public USB charging station) to identify which website is being visited by a smartphone user via Tor, thus breaking Tor’s primary use case. Our attack solely depends on power measurements performed while the user is charging her smartphone, and it does not require the adversary to observe any network traffic or to transfer data through the smartphone’s USB port. We evaluated the attack by training a machine learning model on power traces from 50 regular webpages and 50 Tor hidden services. We considered realistic constraints such as different network types (LTE and WiFi), Tor circuit types, and battery charging levels. In our experiments, we were able to correctly identify webpages visited using the official mobile Tor browser with accuracies up to 85.7% when the battery was fully charged, and up to 46% when the battery level was between 30% and 50%. Both results are substantially higher than the 1% baseline of random guessing. Surprisingly, our results show that hidden services can be identified with higher accuracies than regular webpages (e.g., 84.3% vs. 68.7% over LTE).

We have tested over 50 different computers and external hubs and found that over 90% of them suffer from a crosstalk leakage effect that allows malicious peripheral devices located off the communication path to capture and observe sensitive USB traffic. We also show that in many cases this crosstalk leakage can be observed on the USB power lines, thus defeating a common USB isolation countermeasure of using a charge-only USB cable which physically disconnects the USB data lines

Barbara says she’d do more knitting on her self-driving rides if she wasn’t so busy checking out the local sights with her husband Jim. Though she’s lived in the same neighborhood for 20 years, she missed a lot while she was focused on driving — even including a nearby park she never noticed before.

Chris, Marie, Miranda, and Ariel are a one-car family, so self-driving cars help the parents keep up with their kids’ busy lives. Their two teenagers often ride Waymo to their after-school activities.

also apparently its "duck, duck, gray duck" instead of "duck, duck, goose"

“Duck, duck, goose” is boring. It relies on a simple binary: The kid you’re tapping is either “duck” or “goose.” The words aren’t phonetically similar, so basically as soon as the “it” kid begins forming that first consonant sound, you know what’s happening.

“Gray duck,” though, introduces nearly infinite variations. The first, most obvious one—the one all kids figure out right away to add some spice to the game—is to psych them out with a well-placed “green duck.” Soon you’re drawing out the “grrrr” as long as you can to keep the other kids guessing.

Then you add other little tricks. You give each kid a different color—“red duck, purple duck, orange duck, beige duck”—so that when you finally drop the “gray duck,” in the same flat tone, maybe the kid you’re tapping doesn’t notice for a second and you get a nice head start.

Eventually you’re throwing all sorts of modifiers in there, stretching yourself to come up with adjectives: “gross duck, great duck, grand duck.” Now it’s a word game, and not just a simple test of one’s ability to run slightly faster than another kid.

What do you even do in “duck, duck, goose?” Do you name other birds? Sounds like a fun game for birdwatchers, maybe.

Do your children a favor: Teach them “duck, duck, gray duck.”

why are all the news channels going on and on about mccain and his dedication to service? like yeah i get it he was a veteran and in the senate a long time and that's what you're "supposed to do". but the right hates mccain because he wouldn't go along with trump's maga chud agenda, and the left hates mccain because he either directly murdered or caused to be murdered thousands of brown people (also sarah palin), so who the hell is watching this and crying outside of people who actually knew the guy

imagine if you live your entire life slavishly obsessed with the goings ons and doings of those vastly more powerful than you. This obsession means you make jack poo poo, few people really like you, and you spend your time in a city obsessed with status and drama. So you pretend that those rich people really *matter to you personally* that when mccain died it actually made you *feel* because otherwise your life as a reporter is an empty husk of watching the powerful own you.

The mechanism I had in mind was our current political institutions passing a law requiring media to not spread lies and the determination of truth and subsequent arrests, if any, to be handled by the courts. I don't think anyone would like to see truth panels established independent of the courts.

for context, these are the same courts who sentence people to life in prison for stealing a coat while the hyperwealthy get plea deals that grant immunity to anyone else who did crimes with them.
