AT&T Promo Code: Get Up to $300 in August

wired.com Kat Merck 2025-11-13 23:30:00

Major wireless carriers: A necessary evil if you travel a lot, have a family, or are just interested in coverage that’s reliably consistent and widespread. AT&T is the third-largest provider in the US (first for 5G), with the largest coverage map. I’ve had various AT&T plans for more than a decade, first for just myself and now for my whole family, even though I only get one cell bar at my house and have to stand in one 5-square-foot patch of yard to make a phone call. And have lost entire days

PyPI Preventing Domain Resurrection Attacks

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-14 11:32:41

Preventing Domain Resurrection Attacks Summary PyPI now checks for expired domains to prevent domain resurrection attacks, a type of supply-chain attack where someone buys an expired domain and uses it to take over PyPI accounts through password resets. These changes improve PyPI's overall account security posture, making it harder for attackers to exploit expired domain names to gain unauthorized access to accounts. Since early June 2025, PyPI has unverified over 1,800 email addresses when

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Verizon subscribers are reporting that the carrier is tricking them into accepting lower discounts. A new $10 discount on the My Verizon app replaced the existing $20 loyalty discount without warning. Some users say they were able to stack the two discounts, but many others report increased bills after unknowingly accepting the new offer. Verizon’s loyalty discount mess seems to be getting worse.

The digital nomad movement experienced a surge after the covid-19 pandemic. Years later, workers are still seeking alternatives to being glued to a desk in the company office, says Dr. Laura Madrid Sartoretto, research lead at the Global Citizen Solutions Global Intelligence Unit. Growth rates have slowed down compared to the pandemic peak, but the total number of digital nomads is still 150% higher than in 2019, according to Global Citizen Solutions.

Counter-Strike: A billion-dollar game built in a dorm room

Late one night in his dorm room, Minh Le, a computer science major, was having a hard time concentrating on his studies. Le was a whiz with computers and had little trouble with the material at Simon Fraser University, a public research school just outside Vancouver, British Columbia. But a video game he had designed in his spare time was earning Le and his co-creator more than $20,000 every month from advertising.

MSNBC Rebrands as MS NOW, but the Web Domain Is for Korean Snowmobiles

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-16 14:40:19

Cable news channel MSNBC is going to rebrand as My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW, according to a new report from the New York Times. The change is happening because Comcast’s NBCUniversal is spinning off many of its cable TV assets into a new company called Versant, severing ties with the “NBC” part of MSNBC. But it’s not yet clear where you’ll be able to find MS NOW on the web. That’s because the web domain msnow.com is registered in Gyeonggi, South Korea by someone who is clearly not t

The second – likelihoodist – is to create a profile likelihood and take the $q$ quantile. I personally find this approach more intuitive in general because it is contextually picking model parameters, rather than to directly making claims about degrees of belief: we are just trying to pick $p$ such that it captures the first 5% of the likelihood sum of our binomial model. There are at least two general – from first principles – approaches to calculate a lower bound fraction without knowing

According to German news outlet Heise, notable progress has been made regarding the counterfeit Seagate hard drive case.

Much of the operation of the financial industry is legible to people outside of it. Your credit card works basically like you understand it to (excepting the occasional mythmaking about second order consequences). Debates about what terms banks are allowed to offer on credit cards are fairly straightforward and can be easily followed by non-specialists. But some issues are under the hood, and a societal debate about them doesn’t exactly wear its consequences on its sleeves. Consider the controv
