Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Would Leave Millions Without Health Insurance

wired.com Emily Mullin 2025-09-01 11:57:18

Senate Republicans on Tuesday passed President Donald Trump’s sprawling tax and spending package, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” paving the way for a major overhaul of the country’s Medicaid program. If passed by the House, which could happen before the July Fourth holiday, millions of people stand to lose their health insurance. The number of people without health insurance in the United States nearly halved from 2013 to 2023, falling from around 14 percent to a record low of less than

Caching is an Abstraction, not an Optimization

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-30 10:42:46

June 30, 2025 Caching is an Abstraction, not an Optimization I've always been told that caching is a tool to make software faster. That, given some careful considerations to consistency, caching makes it so that when you want to read a given piece of data, you don't have to go all the way back to some backend database or API server or SSD and can instead just read from some faster location like memory for the same data. Caching is thus a tool to improve performance. My feelings now are that t

App Store revenue and downloads increased in June, but users are spending less on games

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-01 22:34:40

Bank of America has released its latest App Store performance data, and observed that while revenue is growing faster than downloads, users are shifting how they spend their money. According to the report (via Investing.com), which cited SensorTower data, global App Store revenue rose 12% year over year in June, while downloads were up just 4%. That widening gap suggests a positive shift in monetization, although users are reportedly increasingly spending more in non-gaming categories: “Gamin

Stalking the Statistically Improbable Restaurant with Data

Last summer, I wrote about the statistically improbable restaurant, the restaurant you wouldn’t expect to find in a small American city: the excellent Nepali food in Erie, PA and Akron, OH; a gem of a Gambian restaurant in Springfield, IL. Statistically improbable restaurants often tell you something about the communities they are based in: Erie and Akron have large Lhotshampa refugee populations, Nepali-speaking people who lived in Bhutan for years before being expelled from their county; Sprin

Apple CarPlay Ultra vs. Google Built-In: How the Next-Gen Auto Software Rivals Compare

I'd spent an hour driving a $250,000-plus Aston Martin up the Los Angeles coast when my hunger pangs became impossible to ignore, and as I've done many times before, I asked Siri (through Apple CarPlay) to find me a taco place. But then I did something no other car on the planet allows: I asked Siri to blast the AC and make the air colder. That's because the 2025 Aston Martin DBX I drove was the first vehicle to come with Apple CarPlay Ultra, the upgraded version of the company's car software.

Adding calendar events with a screenshot is AI at its finest

Apple’s AI capabilities have been less than impressive to date, but there’s one new feature coming with iOS 26 that’s actually really handy: adding stuff to your calendar with a screenshot. I’ve been testing this feature out for the past few weeks in the developer beta, and I’m pleased to report that it works, easily making it my favorite Apple Intelligence feature so far.

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 introduces Live Updates, a new feature that elevates ongoing notifications to the status bar, but it excludes media playback notifications. This is because media apps use a dedicated “Media style” template, which is not one of the specific styles that can be promoted to a Live Update. Switching styles would cause media apps to lose key playback controls and features, a trade-off developers are unlikely to make for this new functionality. Li
