@0xSweep > If you know your distance from three different points there's only ONE spot on earth you can be This wrong in 2 ways: - 3D multilateration requires 4 points - the points must not be coplanar

A security researcher built a tool that could track the EXACT location of ANY Tinder user within 100 feet using 3 fake accounts and a Wikipedia formula In late 2013 a guy named Max Veytsman at Include Security was poking around Tinder's API to see what data the app was leaking and what he found was insane Tinder's whole value prop was showing you people near you so the app needed to know how far away each user is Earlier that year Tinder had already been busted ONCE for this, they were literally sending the exact GPS coordinates of every user to every other user's phone Their "fix" was to move the distance calculation to the server and only send back the distance in miles Sounds secure right? Well, it wasn't Because the distance they sent back wasn't rounded to the nearest mile, it was a 64 bit double a floating point number with 15 DECIMAL PLACES of precision Tinder was telling your phone that a user was exactly 7.234891592653589 miles away and that level of precision breaks everything Max realized he could use this to reverse engineer any user's exact location using a concept every high schooler learns and forgets trilateration The math is simple. If you know your distance from three different points there's only ONE spot on earth you can be It's how GPS works, it's how they find the epicenter of earthquakes and it's how your phone pinpoints you from three cell towers Max needed three points so he made three fake Tinder accounts He used the API to teleport each fake account to a different location around his target's city and each fake account pinged the API to get back a hyper precise distance to the target Three distances, three circles drawn on a map and one exact intersection He could pinpoint any Tinder user to within 100 FEET He built a working tool and called it TinderFinder but he didn't release it publicly. He disclosed the vulnerability to Tinder privately and gave them the standard 90 days to fix it Tinder acknowledged the email, asked for more time, then went dark. They never followed up and their CEO Sean Rad ignored Bloomberg when reporters called for comment The fix eventually went live quietly in December 2013 but Tinder wasn't alone A few years later a firm called Pen Test Partners ran the same exploit on Grindr, Romeo, Recon and 3fun Four dating apps with 10 MILLION users combined and all of them leaked precise locations the same way They could track any Grindr user to the exact house or building they were in in real time, from home to work to wherever they went next The worst one was 3fun, a group sex app. Pen Test Partners pulled location data on users they traced to the WHITE HOUSE and the SUPREME COURT Grindr never even responded to the disclosure The craziest part of the Tinder story is that the entire exploit worked because of ONE lazy engineering decision Instead of rounding the distance to the nearest mile on the server they sent back 15 decimal places. Sub millimeter precision on a dating app The infrastructure was leaking surveillance grade location data to anyone with three burner accounts and a Python script Anyone could have known exactly where you were every time you opened the app and for almost all of 2013 nobody outside a few security researchers knew it was happening

@Fahadnaimb Was he inside the actual base? Did he need special permission to be there? If not, totally unreasonable

So this Glasgow student just got himself in proper trouble with the FBI over aircraft pics. His name’s Tianrui Liang, 21, Chinese guy studying aeronautical engineering at Glasgow Uni. He’s a massive aviation geek... been travelling round the UK snapping all sorts of aircrafts for his own collection. But he took it too far. End of March he was at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska (that’s where US Strategic Command is) sitting in his car with a long lens, taking shots of the E-4B Doomsday Plane and an RC-135. Someone clocked him, reported it, and on 7 April the FBI nicked him at JFK while he was trying to fly back to Scotland. He got bail at first then they yanked it and said he’s a high flight risk. Now he’s back inside facing charges for photographing military equipment without permission. He told them it was just for fun, but obviously the Doomsday Plane isn’t something you just casually snap from the perimeter. Kinda mad how a hobby can land you in this much shit. What do you make of it... innocent plane nerd who didn’t think, or were they right to come down hard?

@ZelenskyyUa Where are the other 2, and why is this the 2nd one

The future is already on the front line – and Ukraine is building it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms – ground systems and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and the operation was carried out without infantry and without losses on our side. Ratel, TerMIT, Ardal, Rys, Zmiy, Protector, Volia, and our other ground robotic systems have already carried out more than 22,000 missions on the front in just three months. In other words, lives were saved more than 22,000 times when a robot went into the most dangerous areas instead of a warrior. This is about high technology protecting the highest value – human life. From the congratulatory address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex (2/3).

@_VenusValentine @yuululol Weird yes, invasive no. They didn't go find secret info about her, they just observed just as anyone else could

@yuululol That’s actually really weird and invasive unless you willingly gave them the info.

LMAO I FUCKING CANT BRO

@Brad_Lassiter @FAANews 1. The age limit is just for application, not the job 2. "You're in need so lower your safety standards" might just be the 2nd stupidest thing I've read today

@FAANews I’ve been in the United States Army for 22 years. I’m part-time Army now. I am a correction officer for my civilian job. I am 41 years old great shape. Why is there a age limit at 30 something years old if you are in need you should raise the age limit

Ready to level up? We're looking for the best and brightest! Mission Requirements: ✅Must be a citizen of the United States. ✅Must be under 31 years of age at application. ✅Must speak fluent English. Take your skills to the next level and apply to be an air traffic controller. Applications open April 17. faa.gov/atc-hiring

@HormuzLetter Why can something unmanned be in an "emergency"

BREAKING: The US Navy MQ-4C Triton that spent the morning orbiting the Strait of Hormuz transmitted a Squawk 7700 emergency code, dropped sharply from above 50,000 feet, and fell off ADS-B tracking off the Saudi coast near Bahrain. The aircraft turned toward Iran before the descent and has not reappeared on any tracking feed in the hour since. The Pentagon and CENTCOM have not yet commented.

@theaiportfolios its*

Breaking: Claude just made it's first trade Last week we gave Claude agents a new $50,000 portfolio to see how well they do at picking in stocks So far, they've already outperforming the SPY Today, it just bought it's newest stock: "WHY WE SOLD $HWM (Howmet Aerospace) Howmet was our only Hold-rated position out of 15. At 63.7x trailing P/E — twice the aerospace peer average — the stock was priced for perfection with no margin for error. Our research projected just +2.3% over 12 months. That barely beats the S&P. For a position carrying this much concentrated risk, that return doesn't justify the capital. The near-term setup made it worse. The company declared force majeure on tariffs, threatening to halt shipments to Boeing and Airbus. They just closed a $1.8B acquisition funded by $1.2B in new debt, adding leverage at exactly the wrong time. And insiders sold 6 times in the past year with zero purchases. When your weakest position barely beats a savings account, has the highest P/E in the portfolio, and management is selling — that's your exit." WHY WE BOUGHT $MSFT (Microsoft) "Microsoft is trading at 19.7x forward earnings. That's 34% below the software sector average and the cheapest the stock has been relative to peers in over 5 years. The stock is down 28% from its highs — a rare entry point into the world's largest enterprise cloud platform. The edge is timing. Q3 earnings land April 28 with Azure guided at 37-38% growth. The company has $625B in revenue backlog and Copilot has hit 4.7M paid seats. This is not a turnaround story — it's a quality compounder temporarily mispriced by macro fear. The risk is capex. Microsoft is spending $100B+ this year on AI infrastructure, which compresses free cash flow in the near term. If Azure decelerates or the UK CMA forces Office unbundling, the multiple stays depressed longer. But the math was clear: MSFT at +22.1% expected return vs HWM at +2.3%. That was the widest gap in the entire portfolio — a 10x difference in projected return. The swap uses 8.14% of our 10% turnover budget. One clean, high-conviction move." New updated portfolio: $AVGO | 10.05% $VST | 9.99% $TMO | 8.84% $LLY | 7.98% $CI | 7.16% $OKTA | 7.09% $GLD | 6.89% $BAH | 6.37% $GD | 6.08% $DVN | 5.86% $HALO | 5.80% $MA | 4.97% $APO | 4.72% $AU | 4.13% $MSFT | 4.07% Performance since inception: Claude: +1.60% SPY: -3.4% As a reminder, this is a public long term project to see how well Claude does We have 0 idea nor 0 expectation on how this will do, but we'll be sharing all updates here publicly and consistently no matter how good or bad Claude does

@junkyj64 @gun_luvr @Oranguttttan Zinc? Like the element?

@gun_luvr @Oranguttttan if you two want the tea she made a gross unwanted comment about me and my boyfriends sex life thay was clearly made to trigger my dysphoria, all because he made a zinc joke months ago. It made both me and especially him uncomfortable as it was untrue and unsollicited.

yo @Oranguttttan you STILL havent deleted that disgusting post of yours making gross assumptions over my sex life over a fucking joke tweet from months ago. You have made both me and my partner extremely uncomfortable and ive asked you several times to delete it.

@darren_cullen I can't tell if this is April fools

In 2018 Shell sent me a cease & desist over my anti-Shell merch giving me 7 days to take it offline or they'd sue me. Legal advice I got told me I had little choice, but in the meantime I sent them some sarcastic replies anyway. Then after a bit of this they just - gave up

@wspolice Did you guys order a sign for this or is it edited in?

We’re excited to announce the launch of the D.O.N.T. traffic safety initiative. D-Don’t be distracted O-Observe your surroundings N-Never assume others will stop T -Texting can wait Let’s work together to keep our roads safe. D.O.N.T. Use common sense. Every stop, every time.

@emilykschrader Being within a base doesn't make a valid target, dumbass

@ma1ybe I agree with most points, but not the last one. Women are significantly shorter and on average less active than men, hence, on average, they shouldn't eat as much

In South Korea, some women report that servers explain menus or make recommendations to men first, even when the woman is paying. In the UK, a study in carvery restaurants found men were served larger portions of meat than women for the same order. And in professional kitchens, women are far less likely to become head chefs or win top culinary awards, even when they’re equally skilled. Women are more likely to eat last and least in their own households. In many cultures, social norms dictate that men and boys eat first, leaving women and girls smaller portions or lower-quality food. THERE IS MISOGYNY IN ALMOST EVERY FACET.

If your meth dealer has all their teeth, it’s the police. Also, do not do meth or any illegal drugs. #DontCrime

@_JETFIGHTERMAN_ This is true but literally detracts nothing from what the replies are saying

The cope in the replies is ridiculous. War is about gaining an unfair advantage over the enemy, not abiding by Marquis of Queensbury rules. Anyone who thinks the Nazis wouldn’t have done this to P-80s and Meteors if they could is deluded. Hell, this whole thing makes the Luftwaffe look even more incompetent. Imagine being so raped that Allied fighters can zap you at your own airfield and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

@IfindRetards @BarackObama @IfindRetards I found one

@BarackObama Only retards believe climate change is real.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

@valigo At least the space wasn't before usr

15 years ago, a typo in bumblebee (which was a must-use hybrid gpu toggler for Linux) install script nuked users' systems. PR to fix it is the most commented PR in GitHub's history, and GitHub really struggles to load all the comments. Totally uncool dude!!!

@Lovelytaco123 Kids vs adults

@TheNumerophile0 Hmmm

Reddit, very famously, had a very libertarian approach to moderation in the early days and never banned a single subreddit for the first decade of its existence, which led to some incredibly disgusting subreddits being tolerated by the Reddit admin. This only began to change in 2015, when Anderson Cooper ran a piece on R/Jailbait, which put massive pressure on Reddit. Then, a shortwhile later, someone posted a picture of their 14-year-old girlfriend, and then a bunch of weirdos proceeded to hound him, asking for CP. That was the final nail, forcing Reddit to ban R/jailbait. After this, Reddit started becoming a lot more hands-on in moderation, which has worked to massively change the culture of the site.

@earwax_carbon @imsohighrnhelp And it was before the admins decided they needed to baby us

@imsohighrnhelp yes of course but its not the same as it was back then lol, I mean that it’s a lot more regulated. On reddit back then you’d have gore popping up on your homefeed as if it was a normal thing.

@coolguy80101 Incredibly sad it was banned, such a good sub

@TheNumerophile0 eyeblech didnt get banned for gore, its actually because the mods werent doing their job well enough. but gore itself wasnt a problem

@electionsjoe Quite literally tantamount to invading Ecuadorian soil

Jesus Christ. This violates international law
