A method for detecting incognito mode browsing in Chrome 76 has been found.

Posted on

In Chrome 76, a loophole in the implementation of the FileSystem API was closed, which allowed the detection of incognito mode usage from web applications. Starting with Chrome 76, instead of blocking access to the FileSystem API, which was used as an indicator of incognito mode activity, the browser no longer restricts the FileSystem API but instead clears any changes made after the session. It turns out that the new implementation has weaknesses, allowing it to still […]

Are multimodal DBMS the foundation of modern information systems?

Posted on

Modern information systems are quite complex. Their complexity is largely due to the intricacies of the data being processed within them. The complexity of the data often lies in the variety of data models used. For example, when data becomes 'big', one of the troublesome characteristics is not only its volume ('volume'), but also its variety ('variety'). If you don’t yet find a flaw in this reasoning, then […]

Alexey Savvateev: The Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences awarded to Jean Tirole for his analysis of imperfect markets (2014) and collective reputation

Posted on

If I were to award a Nobel Prize to Jean Tirole, I would do so for his game-theoretical analysis of reputation, or at least include that in the description. I think it’s one of those cases where our intuition aligns well with the model, even though it's hard to validate that model. It falls into the category of models that are difficult or impossible to verify and falsify. But the idea seems completely […]
