Une faille critique dans le système de livraison de McDonald's


Et si je vous disais qu’il était possible de commander des Big Mac pour quelques centimes et de détourner les commandes des autres clients chez McDonald’s ?

Non, ce n’est pas le scénario d’un film de hackers des années 90, mais bien une réalité découverte récemment dans le système de livraison indien de la célèbre chaîne de restauration rapide.

Vous commandez tranquillement votre menu préféré via l’application McDelivery en Inde, et quelques minutes plus tard, votre commande est mystérieusement redirigée vers une autre adresse. C’est exactement ce qu’a découvert Eaton Zveare, un chercheur en sécurité de Traceable AI, en analysant l’API du système de livraison de McDonald’s Inde (Ouest et Sud).

Tom Homan is Trump's IMG Czar. Trump/Miller could inflict a lot of pain & misery on #immigrants /economy.

Obama didn’t just deport more ppl than Trump, we've him to thank for Homan -anti-IMG warrior -making desperate ppl fleeing horrible circumstances suffer. But Obama restrained his more sadistic impulses. Trump indulged them: child separation/ICE ops. eg arresting undocumented parents as they pick up their kids from school.

A quotation from Roosevelt
The individualism which finds its expression in the abuse of physical force is checked very early in the growth of civilization, and we of to-day should in our turn strive to shackle or destroy that individualism which triumphs by greed and cunning, which exploits the weak by craft instead of ruling them by brutality.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

Fragmento del primer número de La conquista del feed: El robo masivo de la IA
No hay mucho debate. Si nos descargamos un libro electrónico de dudoso origen para poder comentarlo en el club de lectura, si nos ponemos una serie (incluso descatalogada) a través de un streaming chungo, o si nos bajamos unos mp3 para poder escuchar música sin conexión, la conclusión es la misma: estamos pirateando.
Fragmento del primer número de La conquista del feed: Las empresas que desarrollan los populares modelos de IA generativa también han pirateado, y de una manera masiva. Esas compañías que te ponen el botón de reescribir con IA incluso al hacer la lista de la compra han cebado su tecnología con textos, imágenes, vídeos y fotos protegidas por licencias. Y sin permiso.

Claro, hay una ligera diferencia: el club de lectura de tus amigas no está levantando millones de dólares en rondas de financiación.

Oh I never knew this about hing (asafoetida):

"Hing helps improve digestion by increasing the activity of digestive enzymes in the stomach and small intestine. It is recommended to add Hing to your regular diet to prevent a number of gastric problems."

Hing is only ever used in very small amounts, a pinch or two at a time*, and is best added to the food or tadka during cooking (rather than used raw).

*some commercial hing powders are cut with other substances so it is not as strong as others. You can always tell by the strength of the aroma.

🌟 Always do your own research.

What gets me is how consistent it is.

Like, in finnish, turkish, spanish and dutch, it's all the same meaning.

I'll make sure to respect the advice to store it in airtight containers.

I double ziplock bag it, and still keep it away from the main pantry space.

But I notice in recent years it is less pungent. I think they cut it with other materials.

A grainy analog photograph of electric Advent lights in a windowsill (you'll just have to trust me on the windowsill part). The picture is exposed for the small and glowy, incandescent lightbulbs, so everything around is just black. The film stock creates some slight halation around the light bulbs, and there is a blurry reflection in the matte window behind the lights.

If you need stocking stuffers, why not stockings? (or socks)
These make me think of Alice in Wonderland.
https://amzn.to/3VKQ6Fm
I have always preferred knee socks, if only because they don't sag and create a lump in your shoes.

My grandfather gave silk stockings to all the women in his life, always from an expensive store like Saks Fifth Avenue. Ithink that began during WWII, when it was an indulgent gift.

I remember the tactile experience of opening the little box, with tissue paper and the delicate silkiness of the stockings. As a little girl, just feeling those stockings made me feel luxurious.

In the 70s, my sister tried to emulate the gift by giving the women in the family a pair of L'eggs... which she chose because they were cheap. It so completely missed the point.
Jodi K diaspora
I have a funny L'eggs story.

College classmate went on to teach. One of her students saw L'eggs in the store and thought they were ostrich eggs. So he bought some.

Had a bit of a surprise when he got them home.

The afd is the most dangerous and extreme right (in short: nazi) party in Germany. I can see an incarnation of fascism.
