techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2025-09-23 06:44:19

Earlier this week, virtually everyone in Iran lost access to the internet in what was called a “near-total national internet blackout.” At the time, it was unclear what happened or who was responsible for the shutdown, which has severely limited Iranians’ means to get information about the ongoing war with Israel, as well as their ability to communicate with loved ones inside and outside of the country. Now, Iran’s government has confirmed that it ordered the shutdown to protect against Israel

Answering this often triggers more questions that shouldn't surprise anyone. Do you have some workable requirements? Have you created meaningful tests aligned with those? Can you understand and fix your code when those tests fail? Are you seeing opportunities to delete code in a way that enhances its value by reducing its liability? In all of these questions, code is ingrained with purpose, hampered by ambiguity, and therefore very much human, even when it lies forgotten in some machine wher

The rise of news aggregators such as Apple News and Google on mobile devices means some users can receive more than one alert about the same story. Analysis

3 Best Thermal Brush, Tested and Reviewed by WIRED (2025)
