Although I’ve seen it a bajillion times, I introduced my friend to Alien (1979) for the first time time. She dug it.

I also thought it was very good. However, I wanted it to be an hour longer, and include more of the detail from the book.

What is the raccoon smuggling? Is it coke?

Yup, this. There’s loads of other insects that will do. I believe I even saw a study once that concluded this.

The power to eradicate all mosquitoes in the world in one fell swoop

Come to northern Maine! Cheap houses up here. They’re maybe not the best, but if you’re handy and have tools, it’s not bad. I bought mine with a $5500 downpayment, and I have 10 acres of land.

Maybe not the worst, but Nikita is better than Point of No Return.

Remember webrings? I want to bring those back.

Ruminating on this kind of thing is brutal; I speak from experience. Ketamine derails that spiral and lets you move on and feel good about yourself.

Super-interesting read! Really fascinating!

Don’t leave us in the dark! What model did you get?!

The researchers responsibly disclosed FROST to Google, Apple, and Mozilla before publishing. The responses are worth reading carefully:

• Google said it does not consider browser fingerprinting to be a security vulnerability.

• Apple described the attack as “currently out of scope,” with possible mitigations in the future.

• Mozilla acknowledged the findings but has not implemented any fix.

In other words, the three companies that ship some of the world’s most-used browsers have collectively said “ok, not my concern”.

Fingerprinting is treated as a known cost of doing business on the modern web, and a side channel that leaks tab and application data through a storage API is, apparently, not a fire worth putting out.
