Astronomer’s New CEO Speaks—Yes, About That

The only people from Astronomer attending the Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on July 16 were CEO Andy Byron and his head of HR, Kristin Cabot. They were swaying in mid-hug when the roving kiss cam, a staple at the band’s performances, zeroed in on them. You have probably seen the clip of what happened next. The two of them scrambled like kids caught raiding a cookie jar. Even Coldplay’s anodyne frontman Chris Martin couldn’t ignore their response. “They’re either having an affair

Tesla Takes So Long to Report Crash Data, Even Trump’s Regulators Are Taking Notice

It turns out it’s actually possible for a corporation to drag its feet for so long that even the Trump administration takes issue with it. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that it will investigate Tesla’s habit of taking months to submit accident reports that involve the company’s driver-assistance technology, according to a report from Reuters. Just how late is Tesla getting its crash report information to the NHTSA? The agency asks that companies submit reports wit

Starlink wants billions in grants, but state governments aren’t cooperating

Starlink operator SpaceX isn't getting the broadband money it demanded from state governments despite the Trump administration rewriting the rules of a $42 billion grant program. Instead of directing the lion's share of money to Elon Musk's space and satellite company, early results indicate that states still plan to deploy fiber broadband networks to most of their unserved households. When the Trump administration announced its overhaul of the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) pr

Trump Is Betting Big on Intel. Will the Chips Fall His Way?

The US government is aiming to take an equity stake in Intel in exchange for grants the company was already committed to receive under the Biden era CHIPS Act, according to comments US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick made in an interview with CNBC. The move is part of the government’s efforts to boost US chip manufacturing. “We should get an equity stake for our money, so we’ll deliver the money which was already committed under the Biden administration,” Lutnick said. “We’ll get equity in re

FOX’s new streaming service is another win for Apple’s TV app

FOX One is one of two major new streaming services launching today. And it looks like Apple has gone two-for-two with support for its Apple TV app. New FOX One streamer fully integrates with Apple’s TV app Out of major US linear networks, FOX has long been a holdout in the streaming era. You can get CBS through Paramount+, NBC through Peacock, and Disney puts lots of ABC content in Disney+ and Hulu. But particularly if you’re an NFL fan, the absence of FOX has been a pain point. Now, the ne

Why Ancestry Is the Best DNA Test Kit in 2025

When we first wrote this article, it compared 23andMe and Ancestry. Since then, 23andMe has experienced a data breach, a subsequent lawsuit, board members' resignations and layoffs amidst financial struggles. As a result, we removed it from this comparison and now outline why AncestryDNA is the best at-home DNA kit for learning more about your heritage, ancestry and even your medical predispositions. If you've used 23andMe, here is how you can delete your account and data. You can also read mor

Basic dependency injection in OCaml with objects

In his article Why I chose OCaml as my primary language, my friend Xavier Van de Woestyne presents, in the section Dependency injection and inversion, two approaches to implementing dependency injection: one using user-defined effects and one using modules as first-class values. Even though I’m quite convinced that both approaches are legit, I find them sometimes a bit overkill and showing fairly obvious pitfalls when applied to real software. The goal of this article is therefore to briefly hig

D4d4

A co-worker of mine was looking at some disassembled ARM code the other day, and discovered something weird. Lots of d4d4 instructions, scattered about. LLVM’s objdump says this is a relative branch to -0x58 . The weird part is that they were always unreachable. Experiments¶ Here’s an example in a minimal reproducer I wrote: 00020100 < one >: 20100: 4770 bx lr 20102: d4d4 bmi 0x200ae <__dso_handle+0x100ae> @ imm = #-0x58 That bx lr right before the d4d4 branches to the link register.

Visualizing distributions with pepperoni pizza and JavaScript

Monday, August 18, 2025 There's a pizza shop near me that serves a normal pizza. I mean, they distribute the toppings in a normal way. They're not uniform at all. The toppings are random, but not the way I want. The colloquial understanding of "random" is kind of the Platonic ideal of a pizza: slightly chaotic but things are more or less spread out over the whole piece in a regular way. If you take a slice you'll get more of less the same amount of pepperoni as any other slice. And every bite

This is the Ultimate '90s Cyberpunk Movie (No, It's Not 'The Matrix')

The cyberpunk movement has given us some of the best science fiction movies: Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell and, yes, The Matrix. But there's one great tech noir flick that came out at the height of the cyberpunk craze -- and then all but disappeared. Maybe that's partly because of its title. I'd wanted to rewatch Strange Days for a long time, but I kept forgetting because, honestly, I couldn't remember what it was called. Then I finally rediscovered the sci-fi thriller on Hulu. After my most

India bans real-money gaming, threatening a $23 billion industry

India’s lower house of parliament on Wednesday passed a sweeping online gaming bill that, while promoting esports and casual gaming without monetary stakes, imposes a blanket ban on real-money games — threatening to disrupt billions of dollars in investment and significantly impact the real-money gaming industry, which could see widespread shutdowns. Titled the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, the legislation aims to prohibit real-money games nationwide — whether based on s
