The CDC’s New Acting Director Is a Peter Thiel Pal (and a Total Nightmare)

As America's pivotal health agency descends into chaos, the White House has selected the worst possible person to run it. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is in chaotic disarray, as a slew of resignations and an unprecedented walkout of staff have roiled the agency. At the center of the controversy is the CDC’s weirdo director, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose most recent contribution to public health dialogue was a bizarre rant about what passes through his mind as he stares at childr

Nvidia CEO Says AI Will Actually Make Us Busier in the Future

The web does not need gatekeepers: Cloudflare’s new “signed agents” pitch

At OpenAI, Signs of Crisis Grow Behind the Scenes

OpenAI is still reeling from the disappointing launch of its latest GPT-5 model. It's being pelted with lawsuits from left and right, for alleged crimes like mass copyright infringement and colluding to ice out its competitors. More than ever, it's being criticized for its chatbot's alarming proclivity to not only give dangerous advice, but convince people to actually take it with its beguiling and sycophantic charm — a deeply weird phenomenon that's already led to several alleged deaths.

Google is killing a defining feature for Android phones soon - and there's one reason why

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET For years, one of the biggest talking points in the Android vs. iOS debate has been freedom of choice -- and nothing summed that up more than sideloading.

If I had a dime for every time an Android user said this argument to settle which mobile platform is the best, I'd be lying in a pool of dimes as I type.

The Only Reason I Travel With My VR Headset Is the One Thing Meta Needs to Focus on More: Fitness

I almost never travel with VR headsets, no matter how many times I've been told flying with a Vision Pro to watch movies is great, or how headsets can help you make a virtual computer desktop on the road. But I took one with me for my last three-week trip, and there was only one reason why: it was my fitness gear. I've been working on losing weight the last year, and increasing my exercise. VR workouts have become a part of my regimen, because they're motivating, they don't need a lot of equipm

Nullable vs. Nullable in C#

Nullable vs nullable in C# One of the most unfortunate parts of the nullability narrative in C# is the reuse of the T? syntax to denote two completely separate concepts for value types and reference types. This leads to some odd and confusing behaviour. As you may know, nullable value types is a much older concept than nullable reference types. Nullable value types were introduced in C# 2.0, whereas nullable reference types came in C# 8.0. And they’re not the same. Nullable isn’t nullable. Fo
