Anker's MagGo 3-1 Wireless Charging Station for iPhone is still a wireless charging dream almost seven months after my initial purchase, and it's also ZDNET's pick for best wireless charger.

After a partly successful test flight, European firm eyes space station mission

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-21 19:00:46

Last month, the parachutes on Hélène Huby's small spacecraft failed to deploy, and the vehicle and its cargo crashed into the ocean on Earth. It was both a success and a failure. The success was that after Huby founded The Exploration Company in Europe, she managed to move nimbly with the "Mission Possible" spacecraft such that it cost less than $25 million to build and reached space in less than three years. The vehicle ticked off a number of successes in spaceflight before making a controlle

How China’s Patriotic ‘Honkers’ Became the Nation’s Elite Cyberspies

wired.com Kim Zetter 2025-07-21 18:28:07

In the summer of 2005, Tan Dailin was a 20-year-old grad student at Sichuan University of Science and Engineering when he came to the attention of the People’s Liberation Army of China. Tan was part of a burgeoning hacker community known as the Honkers—teens and twentysomethings in late-’90s and early-’00s China who formed groups like the Green Army and Evil Octal and launched patriotic cyberattacks against Western targets they deemed disrespectful to China.

Xi Jinping warns against China's overinvestment in EVs and AI

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-21 23:40:55

Chinese President Xi Jinping has bluntly questioned a nationwide rush of investment into the AI and EV industries. As deflation anxiety grows and Trump’s trade war with China ramps up, the world’s second largest economy is turning to fast-growth tech industries to remain competitive. But Xi appears to think that the strategy is flawed. As reported by the Financial Times , China's President sent out a pointed message about over-investment at the two-day Central Urban Work Conference in Beijing.

Row Polymorphic Programming

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-18 07:50:31

Sometimes, especially when dealing with business logic, we have to deal with data that comes in from the real world, or elsewhere, naturally very messily typed, leading to nasty type signatures and messes of macros or code generation to build data structures from a schema. Row polymorphism can help us by abstracting over the fields contained in a record type in the type signature, letting us define records based on data, concatenate records together, and define functions that are generic across

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Exec Producer Confirms Identity of Rhys Darby’s Character

It’s very common for TV cast and crew to do spoiler-y interviews that run after a certain episode airs to address standout moments. Andor did it after Bix’s big shocker; The Last of Us did it after Joel’s big shocker; the Severance gang did it pretty much weekly throughout season two’s many big shockers.

Nintendo’s slow drip of Switch 2 games is a feature, not a bug

When Nintendo first announced the Switch 2’s slate of launch titles, people were very quick to cry foul about how few original, exclusive games the company had lined up for its latest console. There were ports from other systems and updated versions of original Switch games. But Mario Kart World was the Switch 2’s only major new exclusive title, which, for some, put a further damper on a launch that was already mired in confusion about pricing and game key cards.

A brief history of “three-parent babies”

I can’t go any further without talking about the term we use to describe these children. Journalists, myself included, have called them “three-parent babies” because they are created using DNA from three people. Briefly, the approach typically involves using the DNA from the nuclei of the intended parents’ egg and sperm cells. That’s where most of the DNA in a cell is found. But it also makes use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)—the DNA found in the energy-producing organelles of a cell—from a thir

The MPTCP protocol is complex, mainly to be able to survive on the Internet where middleboxes such as NATs, firewalls, IDS or proxies can modify parts of the TCP packets. Worst case scenario, an MPTCP connection should fallback to “plain” TCP. Today, such fallbacks are rarer than before – probably because MPTCP has been used since 2013 on millions of Apple smartphones worldwide – but they can still exist, e.g. on some mobile networks using Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) where MPTCP connect
