The crypto industry got what it paid for

is a senior policy reporter at The Verge, covering the intersection of Silicon Valley and Capitol Hill. She spent 5 years covering tech policy at CNBC, writing about antitrust, privacy, and content moderation reform. The crypto industry is beginning to see a return on one of its most prescient investments: Donald Trump. On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed three bills that industry supporters believe will bring more legitimacy and predictability to the digital currency space — and

GitHub abused to distribute payloads on behalf of malware-as-a-service

Researchers from Cisco’s Talos security team have uncovered a malware-as-a-service operator that used public GitHub accounts as a channel for distributing an assortment of malicious software to targets. The use of GitHub gave the malware-as-a-service (MaaS) a reliable and easy-to-use platform that’s greenlit in many enterprise networks that rely on the code repository for the software they develop. GitHub removed the three accounts that hosted the malicious payloads shortly after being notified

Artisanal handcrafted Git repositories

There’s no love and care put into crafting our git repositories nowadays. Let’s change that. I’m going to talk about how to handmake your git repositories without using these silly git commands. You might also learn a bit more about how git works under the hood during the process, or whatever. If you’re so inclined, you might also take it as an opportunity to appreciate how the power of git comes not from the complexity of its code but from the simplicity and elegance of its design. I mean,

How these proposed standards aim to tame our AI wild west

ferrantraite/Getty Images Technology standardization has been something of an elusive holy grail, with new tech emerging faster than standards groups can keep up. Yet, somehow, things eventually come together -- at least for mature systems -- and achieve interoperability, be it email networks or developer tools. Now, a new race against time has come to the fore, with efforts to tame one of the fastest-developing technologies seen to date -- artificial intelligence. Can standards groups, with t

Circle stock drops after House blocks key procedural vote on stablecoin legislation

Circle Internet Group Initial Public Offering at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City, U.S., June 5, 2025. Circle shares slid on Tuesday after the U.S. House of Representatives failed to clear a key procedural hurdle that would have teed up votes on long-awaited crypto-related bills. The move dealt a major setback to the digital asset industry, which had framed this week as a turning point for regulatory clarity in Washington, D.C. Circle, the stablecoin issuer that's soared in value

See How ‘M3GAN 2.0’ Built Itself a Bigger, Better M3GAN

For better or worse, M3GAN’s sophomore outing in M3GAN 2.0 brought with it much more action-packed mania than the killer-doll horrors of the original. That, and of course the awkward inconvenience of M3GAN’s body being destroyed in the climax of the first film, meant her return for round two needed a mechanical do-over… including a few upgrades for good measure. Now that M3GAN 2.0 is heading home digitally today, you can see just how the team behind the movie made those upgrades to make the all

As a millennial, I love this digital photo frame to display memories

Allison Murray/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Nixplay smart frame retails for $199 and comes in black, white, or wood. It's easy to set up, and you can invite family and friends to add photos to your frame (even if they don't own a Nixplay). The frame is expensive, especially given that horizontal photos show up pixelated and cut off. Remember digital photo frames? They were all the rage in the late 1990s/early 2000s -- when parents and grandparents alike had to own one. They seemed to dec

Five EU countries to test age-check app under new child safety rules

France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, and Greece are preparing to test a new age verification system as part of the EU’s push to regulate how children access online content. Here are the details. The pilot program, announced by the European Commission on Monday (via Reuters), is built on the same technical standards as the upcoming European Digital Identity Wallet, which is set to launch across the EU next year. The move comes alongside new EU guidelines aimed at helping platforms comply with the Dig

EU likely to shelve digital tax plan that would target Apple and other Big Tech companies

Just ahead of its next multi-year budget proposal, the European Commission is walking back plans to impose a digital tax on Big Tech companies, handing a win to both U.S. tech giants like Apple and Meta, and to President Trump. Out with the digital tax, in with a few more Initially pitched as a way to help repay the EU’s shared pandemic-era debt, the digital levy was floated in May and appeared in internal drafts of the bloc’s next seven-year budget, now expected to be published by the Europea

US government is giving leading AI companies a bunch of cash for military applications

The US Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) is handing out millions of dollars to the leading AI companies to develop military applications. Each of these "awards" are worth up to $200 million, with Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and xAI on the receiving end. The agency notes that this money will be used to "develop agentic AI workflows across a variety of mission areas." In other words, this is primarily for military applications. A press release says the move will "broaden" the

The U.S. and EU Are Fighting Over Who Controls Big Tech

President Trump just slapped 30% tariffs on goods coming from the European Union, escalating a long-simmering conflict over who gets to write the rules for Big Tech. The move came just after Brussels moved forward with more regulations, this time targeting the booming field of artificial intelligence. The latest flashpoint is the EU’s new “Code of Practice” for AI, a set of voluntary guidelines released Thursday aimed at addressing public safety concerns. While not legally binding, the code bui

Switching to Claude Code and VSCode Inside Docker

Last night I finished a transition from my old AI coding setup I've been using for a while to running Claude Code in Docker using VSCode's "Dev Container" feature. In this post I lay out a few of my thoughts on why I wanted to switch to something in the first place, and also a short guide for those who want to do the same. If you are here just for the guide + code (a tiny single file), here it is: https://github.com/tim-sha256/claude-in-docker 🥺 Important note! I'm not a professional vibe

Proposal: GUI-first, text-based mechanical CAD inspired by software engineering

Most mechanical CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion, FreeCAD) still lock all modeling into opaque binary files. That makes it hard to track changes, collaborate with Git, or automate builds. I’ve written a proposal for an alternative paradigm: - GUI-first, like KiCad - visual modeling is the default - Text-based source files (YAML/JSON) — readable, diffable, Git-friendly - Separation of source and result - .step, .stl and previews are built artifacts - Parametric logic is explicit - slot width =

The End of the Stock Market As We Know It

A revolution is brewing in finance, promising to shatter the old walls of Wall Street and bring assets like stocks, bonds, and even skyscrapers onto the blockchain. It’s called tokenization, and it could fundamentally change how we own, trade, and think about value. To understand what this means for the average person, we broke down the concept and spoke with Ken DiCross, co-founder of the blockchain interoperability platform Wire Network, about the future of a tokenized world. 1.
