Before the weekend, though, there’s still more to read about. But let’s start with the not-great tech news. David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, plans to make HBO more expensive and passwords a lot harder to share. These were part of his comments at a Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, which sounds awful. The main

Typically, the Mini Crossword (we publish the answers daily) has roughly a dozen clues to work through -- six across-clues and six down-clues -- and you can complete it in less than a minute if all goes well. It makes me feel smart, unlike the big crossword, which sometimes makes me throw things. But in late August, some Mini Crossword players suddenly ran int
