CNET/Getty Images The Federal Reserve once again held interest rates steady at Wednesday's meeting, but that doesn't mean your card's interest rate can't change. There are other things -- like economic uncertainty and the potential impact of tariffs -- that could impact your credit card's APR. The Federal Open Market Committee left interest rates at a target range of 4.25% to 4.5% (PDF) in response to continued uncertainty about the economy and "somewhat elevated inflation."

Iran’s Internet Blackout Adds New Dangers for Civilians Amid Israeli Bombings

wired.com Matt Burgess 2025-09-12 19:17:52

Alimardani says that it appears mobile data services are patchy, and for many people virtual private networks, which can be used to avoid censorship, have stopped working. This means it has been difficult to reach people in the country and potentially for information to get out, Alimardani says. “Some family that left Tehran today were offline and disconnected from the internet and finally found some connectivity when they were 200 kilometers outside of Tehran in another province,” Alimardani ex

Death Stranding is getting an animated film

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-09-12 19:22:34

The strange world of Death Stranding just keeps on expanding. As Deadline reports, Hideo Kojima’s ghostly, post-apocalyptic video game is getting a spinoff in the form of an animated film. While there aren’t a lot of details yet, the animated feature will supposedly be in the same mold as other animated spinoffs like the recent Predator anthology on Hulu, which could be a good vehicle for Kojima’s particular brand of weirdness.

Yes I Will Read Ulysses Yes

news.ycombinator.com Eric Bulson 2025-09-12 23:31:25

When Richard Ellmann’s James Joyce hit the shelves in 1959, the sheer size of the book (842 pages, 100 longer than Ulysses ) was as dazzling as the degree of detail. Joyce, who had been dead for 18 years, vividly inhabited its chapters, getting drunk, going blind, spending money, spiting enemies, cogitating, and, of course, creating a series of works that immediately made literary history. Moving briskly across the first half of the 20th century (not just a single day in Dublin), Ellmann spun a

Via the False Claims Act, NIH puts universities on edge

Earlier this year, a biomedical researcher at the University of Michigan received an update from the National Institutes of Health. The federal agency, which funds a large swath of the country’s medical science, had given the green light to begin releasing funding for the upcoming year on the researcher’s multi-year grant. Not long after, the researcher learned that the university had placed the grant on hold. The school’s lawyers, it turned out, were wrestling with a difficult question: whethe

Deezer says 70% of AI music streams on its service are fake

In brief: The problem of AI-generated music on streaming platforms being "listened" to by AI is so bad on Deezer, up to seven out of every 10 streams of AI tracks are fraudulent, according to the company. The practice can be a lucrative one: in 2024, a man was arrested over claims that he conned music services out of $12 million using this method.

Bogong Moths Are First Bugs Known to Use Stars for Long-Distance Travel

Every spring in the Southern Hemisphere, Bogong moths migrate up to 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) from southeast Australia to spend the summer in cool caves in the Australian Alps. At the beginning of the fall, they fly back to their breeding grounds and die. Each moth undertakes the two-way journey only once in its life—so how does it know where it’s going?

US Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee’s Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

Skrmetti, the justices found that Tennessee’s law is not unconstitutional. The central issue of the case was whether Tennessee’s ban violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, which states that the government cannot discriminate against individuals based on their race, gender, or other characteristics.
