andrew cuomo picks on working woman at the expense of ny taxpayers
Justia Opinion Summary
WD filed suit against OGS, alleging that defendants violated its rights under the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, and the New York State Constitution by denying WD's applications to participate as a food truck vendor in the Lunch Program based on its ethnic-slur branding. The Second Circuit reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment for defendant, holding that defendants' action violated WD's equal protection rights and its rights under the New York State Constitution. In this case, it was undisputed that defendants denied WD's applications solely because of its ethnic-slur branding. In Matal v. Tam, 137 S. Ct. 1744 (2017), the Supreme Court clarified that this action amounted to viewpoint discrimination and, if not government speech or otherwise protected, was prohibited by the First Amendment. The court rejected defendants' argument that their actions were unobjectionable because they were either part of OGS's government speech or permissible regulation of a government contractor's speech.

Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012
Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some
people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has
ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.
Teenager and His Mom Tried to Warn Apple of FaceTime Bug
Michele Thompson said it was frustrating trying to get the attention of one of the world’s largest technology companies

An Arizona teenager and his mother spent more than a week trying to warnApple Inc. AAPL 6.83% of a bug in its FaceTime video-chat software before news of the glitch—which allows one FaceTime user calling another in a group chat to listen in while the recipient’s Apple device is still ringing—blew up on social media Monday.
In the days following their discovery, the pair posted on Twitter and Facebook ,called and faxed Apple, and learned they needed a developer account to report the bug. They eventually traded a few emails, viewed by The Wall Street Journal, with Apple’s security team.
But it wasn’t until word of the bug started spreading more widely on social media that Apple disabled the software feature at the heart of the issue.
How It Worked
Before Apple disabled the function late Monday, users of Group FaceTime were able to listen in on others through their smartphones.

Michele Thompson said her 14-year-old son, Grant, discovered the issue Jan. 20. She said it was frustrating trying to get the attention of one of the world’s largest technology companies.
“Short of smoke signals, I was trying every method that someone could use to get a hold of someone at Apple,” said Ms. Thompson, 43, who lives with her son in Tucson.
The bug, revealed while Apple is touting its commitment to user privacy to distinguish itself from other big tech companies, affects FaceTime software running on iPhones, iPads and Mac computers. It isn’t clear when the glitch originated, though it affects a multiperson video-chat function called Group FaceTime that Apple launched in October 2018.

On Monday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo took the unusual step of issuing a consumer alert on the issue. “The FaceTime bug is an egregious breach of privacy that puts New Yorkers at risk,” he said in a statement.
Apple disabled the Group FaceTime feature late Monday. A spokeswoman said late Monday Apple was aware of the issue and expected to release a software fix this week.
Informed of Ms. Thompson’s claims Tuesday morning, the spokeswoman declined to comment further.
Grant, a high-school freshman, was setting up a FaceTime chat with friends ahead of a “Fortnite” videogame-playing session when he stumbled on the bug. Using FaceTime, Mr. Thompson found that as he added new members to his group chat, he could hear audio from other participants, even if they hadn’t answered his request to join the chat.
He was surprised. That gave him a way of listening in on people without their consent while calls were ringing, a period that typically lasts less than a minute.

Grant did what any responsible teenage security researcher would do: He went to mom. “I was interested to see if we could report to Apple,” Grant said.
Starting Sunday of last week, Ms. Thompson posted Twitter and Facebook messages she hoped would be seen by Apple’s social-media or support team. She followed with a now-deleted Twitter message to Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook. By Tuesday, she had faxed and phoned the company directly.
Ms. Thompson finally spoke with an Apple support representative that day about the bug. “He called me back and he really had no information,” she said. “He said there’s really nothing I could do. You have to register as a developer and submit it.”
Apple’s Bug Reporter program requires a person to sign in with an Apple ID and a developer account, according to the company’s website.
Ms. Thompson, who is an attorney, registered herself as an Apple developer to participate in the program. Since 2016, Apple has paid out cash bounties to researchers who discover significant bugs. Ms. Thompson hoped she might secure a payout for her son, she said.
While companies are increasingly adding bug-bounty programs, they aren’t always integrating them with their social media and support teams, said Katie Moussouris, CEO of Luta Security Inc., which advises companies on such programs. “Apple has a good reputation for having solid engineering, but that doesn’t mean that the intake process is completely worked out,” she said.
According to emails viewed by the Journal, Ms. Thompson heard back from Apple’s security team on Wednesday, Jan. 23. At around 11:15 p.m. on Friday, she emailed them a description of the issue, along with a link to a YouTube video in which she and her son demonstrated how to exploit the bug.
Late yesterday, Apple disabled the group chat function in FaceTime after news of the bug was made public on social media. Security experts recommend disabling FaceTime until Apple issues a patch; the company expects to issue one later this week.
Ms. Thompson said she doesn’t know how the bug was made public.
She isn’t sure whether she or Grant will get a bounty or even a thank-you note from Apple for their efforts. “It’s just hard for the average citizen to report anything,” she said.
