The ‘Click-to-Cancel’ Rule Was Killed, but Consumer Advocates Could Revive It

wired.com Reece Rogers 2026-01-30 20:25:31

United States residents almost escaped subscription cancellation hell, but the Federal Trade Commission's “Click to Cancel” rule was unanimously struck down by the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit on Tuesday—just days before it was set to go into effect. What would have happened if this updated FTC rule had gone into effect on July 14 as planned? “The stated goal was that they wanted to make it as easy for you to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up,” says John Breyault, vice pre

Phrase origin: Why do we "call" functions?

news.ycombinator.com Arthur O Dwyer 2026-02-01 05:04:45

On StackExchange, someone asks why programmers talk about “calling” a function. Several possible allusions spring to mind: Calling a function is like calling on a friend — we go, we stay a while, we come back. Calling a function is like calling for a servant — a summoning to perform a task. Calling a function is like making a phone call — we ask a question and get an answer from outside ourselves. The true answer seems to be the middle one — “calling” as in “calling up, summoning” — but indi

Why the US and Europe could lose the race for fusion energy

The US and Europe were the dominant public funders of fusion energy research and are home to many of the world’s pioneering private fusion efforts. The West has consequently developed many of the basic technologies that will make fusion power work. But in the past five years China’s support of fusion energy has surged, threatening to allow the country to dominate the industry.

Rust and WASM for Form Validation

When I say “pure backend-style”, I mean people who never wrapped their heads around React, SPAs, and all that stuff. This, unsurprisingly, includes me.

NASA’s Next-Gen Rocket Booster Explodes in Test of a Design That May Never Fly

The latest test included the firing of a solid booster meant to replace NASA’s shuttle-era rocket parts.

Ancient Rocks in Canada Are Almost as Old as the Earth Itself
