 With "Privacy Sandbox", Google wants to save its advertising business while preserving your privacy
The publisher of Chrome wants to create a technology to make advertising targeting online while protecting the personal data of users. This quest for the Grail is based on a complex set of mathematical techniques.
The giant of Mountain View went in search of the five-legged sheep. In several blog posts, Google gives details of its new concept of "Privacy Sandbox", a set of web technologies capable of delivering to advertisers useful information on the personality of visitors to a site without revealing their identity and their lives private. In other words, the "Privacy Sandbox" will make it possible to know who one is dealing with without having to identify it in a unique way. A subtle nuance that - one suspects - is quite complex to achieve.

1 - The concept of OOP in Python 

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a type of programming based on the creation of classes and objects via a method called instantiation. A class is a prototype (model) encoded into a programming language whose goal is to create objects with a set of methods and attributes that characterize any object in the class. The attributes are data types (class variables and instance variables) and methods, accessible via point concatenation. In object-oriented programming, the declaration of a class groups together methods and properties (attributes) that are common to a given object. Thus one could say that a class represents a category of objects. It also appears as a factory for creating objects with a set of common attributes and methods.

Microsoft has patched vulnerabilities to create worms on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. The publisher has also corrected a 20-year-old loophole to elevate privileges.

1 - Define string in Python 

 A string variable in Python is sequence of characters that follow each other and delimited by double or single quotas "..." or '...'. A string which does not contain any characters is called an empty string. 

Example

s1 = "Hello !" 
s2 = 'welcome !' 
print(s1) # this will display : 
Hello print(s2) # this will display : welcome

2 - Access the elements of a string variable 

The brackets can be used to access the string elements.

1 - Define a Python Set 

A set in Python(Python set) is an unordered and unindexed collection.
In Python, sets are written with braces {....}.

Creating a set:

mySet = {"Pen", "Pencil", "Eraser"}
print(mySet)
# Poster: {'Eraser', 'Pencil', 'Pen'}

Note

Sets are not ordered, so items will appear in random order.

1 - Define a dictionary in Python 

A dictionary is a Python implementation of a data structure similar to an associative array. A dictionary consists of a collection of key-value pairs. Each key-value pair has the key attached to its associated value. A dictionary can be defined by enclosing braces {} with a list of key-value pairs separated by commas.

Syntax:

dic = {key1: value1, key2: value2, key3: value3, ...}

To access a value from the dictionary, use the name of the dictionary followed by the corresponding key in square brackets:

Example

dic = {key1: value1, key2: value2, key3: value3, ...}
print (dic [key1]) # this will display : value1

Example: Telephone Directory

1 - The For loop in Python ... 

The for loop in Python, allows to execute repeated instructions.

Sytax:

for counter in range(start_counter, end_counter):
     instructions...

Example. display the first 10 numbers

for i in range (1,11):
     print(i)
#prints the first 10 numbers 1, 2, ..., 10

Note 

Note that in the loop for i in range(1, n) the last one which is n is not included! This means that the loop stops at order n-1.

Endowed with important privileges of access, the computer pilots are unfortunately not always of a high quality. They are therefore a serious Achilles heel for Windows systems.
To interact with the hardware components to which it has access, the Windows operating system relies on an army of small software very practical: drivers or computer drivers. Unfortunately, these programs can also introduce serious security vulnerabilities, as security researchers at Eclypsium have just shown, at the recent DEF CON conference in Las Vegas.

After earning more than a billion dollars, Tumblr sold for a few million to Wordpress
The publisher of Wordpress has bought the blogging platform for an estimated amount of just over $ 10 million. The fall in value seems strongly linked to the ban on adult content.
Tumblr is still changing owners. The platform that hosts more than 450 million blogs has been sold by operator Verizon Automattic, the publisher of Wordpress, another major player in blogging. If the amount has not been disclosed, it is estimated by the US press between $ 10 and $ 20 million.

Now just scan your fingerprint or unlock to connect to a Google service from the Chrome browser on Android. This method is based on the FIDO2 standard.
The password, this authentication method that we all hate, loses a little more ground on Android. Google has announced that some of its services are now accessible without a password from the Chrome browser on Android. To authenticate, simply scan your fingerprint or perform a screen unlock gesture.

1 - The selective structure If 

This structure is one of the most important in programming. The idea is to say that if such a condition is satisfied then, execute an instruction or a block of instructions that otherwise execute other instructions ...
Take the following example:

Apple loses first place in the world rankings after having seen its reserves dwindle from 163 billion in 2017 to 102 billion this year. In comparison, Google's parent company Alphabet holds $ 117 billion in cash.
Alphabet is the new king of cash. The parent company of Google has just dethroned Apple and now displays a treasure of 117 billion dollars in cash - that is to say real money on accounts and not shares, real estate, etc. - against "only" 102 billion for Apple.

A test preview of Windows 10 released by mistake brings up a completely reorganized Start menu.

Even the older ones sometimes make meatballs. As proof, Microsoft has just released to all members of its program Insider a preview of the next major update of Windows 10, the build 18947, which corresponds to the version 20H1 of the operating system, supposed to be released in the first half (H1) 2020. In fact, instead of being tested by a handful of hand-picked users, it is accessible to all "Insiders" who participate in the evaluation program. Admittedly, this premature diffusion is not catastrophic, but it allows the curious to taste very early in advance some novelties, and even functions that may not be integrated into the final version, as explained by Neowin. a site that closely follows the news of the giant Redmond.

In fact, instead of being automatically integrated with Windows 10, as was the case since 2014, the intelligent assistant of the firm of Redmond will become a standalone app, that everyone can install or not at will.

A bit like what can be done under macOS, the option would be much more convenient than traditional DVDs or USB recovery keys. The information leaked via the WalkingCat Twitter account, but has not yet been confirmed by the company.

This is especially true for Netflix-like services, which gives unlimited access to a multitude of content for a few euros per month. And what is true for video is also true for games and apps. That's why Google is testing a subscription plan for its Play Store, its virtual store for Android.
