I'd say it more a textual encoding of LLVM IR. Which makes the s-expression text format of WebAssembly a text encoding of a binary encoding of a javascript encoding of a compiler intermediate representation of your program. Round and r

But someone could pay you for your exported Facebook data (which can include data from friends such as your message history, etc). From my understanding, this is essentially what CA did. CA just obfuscated they were doing this by using the

As mwarkentin included, CA _did_ pay users via mechanical turk to install the quiz app. So they did pay the users directly for their data, but not facebook. It seems there is no way to completely stop this without facebook blocking people f

My understanding is the "quiz app" was more of a phishing scheme to get users to share their Facebook data with Cambridge Analytica (including data that user had access to about their friends).

Cambridge Analytica didn't pay to access this data. They got users to give it to them for free though Facebook's developer platform.

Did it include information about a user's friends that the user themself didn't have access to? I think one can see one's friend's photos, checkins, and posts, so it makes sense that you would be able to forward that inf

The 12 hours here refers to the delivery window on the delivery day, not the time to ship the package. Though the total delivery time is certainly much less than 4-6 weeks.

Technically, exported/unexported is different than public/private since its at the package level. You can access unexported fields of a struct from anywhere within the same package (not just from that struct's "methods&q

That's breaking even at a ~5.83% default rate, which is still unrealistically low. If they have a default rate of 20%, they'd need at least 240% APR to break even (assuming 1 month loans).

by gtremper 10y ago
Considering their default rate is surely higher that 0.75% (1.5/200), how is that sustainable?
