You Should Run a Certificate Transparency Log

Hear me out. If you are an organization with some spare storage and bandwidth, or an engineer looking to justify an overprovisioned homelab, you should consider running a Certificate Transparency log. It’s cheaper, easier, and more important than you might think. Certificate Transparency (CT) is one of the technologies that underpin the security of the whole web. It keeps Certificate Authorities honest, and allows website owners to be notified of unauthorized certificate issuance. It’s a big pa

Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, participated in a press conference Monday with local officials to discuss the severe flooding that’s killed at least 90 people in the state, including children at an all-girls summer camp, with dozens of people still missing. It’s a horrible tragedy but people online are suggesting without evidence that the floods are actually part of some nefarious and deliberate conspiracy to kill people.

Apple just cannot make anyone happy right now—and that’s not even taking into account the tepid response to its new “liquid glass” design principles. Its stores have become the latest target of climate activists looking to hold corporations for their role in the ongoing climate crisis, while it’s also getting hammered by the Trump administration for its failure to quit China cold turkey.

Over the weekend, the tally of measles cases reached 1,281, setting a new case record since the highly contagious viral disease was declared eliminated from the country in 2000. The previous record was set in 2019, when there were 1,274 cases and officials warned that the US had narrowly avoided losing the elimination status.

Drive Capital’s second act — how the Columbus venture firm found success after a split

The venture capital world has always had a hot-and-cold relationship with the Midwest. Investors rush in during boom times, then retreat to the coasts when markets turn sour. For Columbus, Ohio-based Drive Capital, this cycle of attention and disinterest played out against the backdrop of its own internal upheaval several years ago — a co-founder split that could have ended the firm but may have ultimately strengthened it.

New sphere-packing record stems from an unexpected source

The advantage of Rogers’ method was that you didn’t have to start with a particularly efficient lattice to get an efficient sphere packing. You just had to choose the right ellipsoid. But this introduced a new complication. Unlike a sphere, which is completely defined by a single number — its radius — an ellipsoid is defined by several axes of different lengths. The higher the dimension, the greater the number of directions you can stretch your ellipsoid in, and the more options you have for wha

Today, aging is cool. In 2024 alone, investors deployed about $8.5B into longevity-focused biotech companies. Aging biotech companies have entered clinical trials. The field has come a long way. But as “aging” (and “longevity”) have become more mainstream, there’s a temptation to stretch the definition to things that don’t belong in the category. Aging is not a single process.

Oldest wooden tools in East Asia may have come from any of three species

Someone made very sophisticated wooden tools in China 300,000 years ago, and it might have been Denisovans or even Homo erectus. The digging sticks, curved root-slicers, and a handful of somewhat puzzling implements were all found at a lakeshore site called Gantangqing. They are the oldest wooden tools from East Asia so far. All the previous Pleistocene tools found in the area were made from harder material like stone, bone, or antler. But logic suggests that hominins must have prepared and use
