GM Secretly Sold California Drivers' Data, Agrees To Pay $12.75M In Privacy Settlement

"General Motors sold the data of California drivers without their knowledge or consent," says California's attorney general, "and despite numerous statements reassuring drivers that it would not do so."


In 2024, The New York Times "reported that automakers including GM were sharing information about their customers' driving behavior with insurance companies," remembers TechCrunch, "and that some customers were concerned that their insurance rates had gone up as a result."

Холмс исследует, как Тетрис стирает флешбэки

Недавно я читал книгу Дэна Акермана «Эффект Тетриса», заключительная глава которой называется «Когнитивная вакцина». На этом бонусном уровне рассказывается, как профессор Холмс из Оксфорда применяет Тетрис в клинических экспериментах по изучению ПТСР. Тема показалась достаточно любопытной, чтобы копнуть глубже. Тем более что ранее я уже писал о когнитивных функциях и нейропластичности мозга на примере кубика Рубика. Далее разбираемся в экспериментах британских ученых. Читать далее Read more

[Перевод] «Парачастицы» могут стать представителями третьего царства квантовых частиц

В один тихий день 2021 года во время пандемии Чжиюань Ван, тогда ещё аспирант Университета Райса, разгонял скуку, работая над странной математической задачей. Найдя для неё экзотическое решение, он начал задумываться, можно ли интерпретировать эти математические выкладки с физической точки зрения. В конце концов, он понял, что они, по-видимому, описывают новый тип частицы: такую, которая не является ни частицей материи, ни частицей, переносящей силу. Похоже, это было нечто совершенно иное.Ван... Read more

Один комментарий на Хабре — и ещё один пакет для Django Admin

Сам пакет решает довольно локальную задачу, но обсуждение под статьёй оказалось интереснее, чем я ожидал.В комментариях возник вполне закономерный вопрос: насколько вообще подобным интерфейсным дополнениям место в стандартной Django Admin? Ведь каждое установленное приложение добавляет свои пункты в боковое меню, и со временем административная панель действительно может начат Read more
