Undeterred by security controls at these trading platforms that block users from wiring funds directly out of accounts, the phishers have pivoted to using multiple compromised brokerage accounts in unison to manipulate the prices of foreign stocks.

SpaceX Has Likely Skirted Federal Income Taxes for Decades, Investigation Reveals

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-24 21:25:29

Since its founding in 2002, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has emerged as the leading force in commercial spaceflight and a key launch provider for the U.S. government. A recent investigation suggests its dominance may stem—at least in part—from two decades of federal tax avoidance. Internal company documents reviewed exclusively by The New York Times show that SpaceX can exploit net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, a U.S. tax provision that lets companies use past losses to offset future taxable income

Imagine Top Gun without pilots. Not exactly summer blockbuster material. But that is what the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has in mind for the future of the military. According to an announcement spotted by The Register, the agency recently handed out a multi-million dollar contract that will push forward its autonomous pilot program that will eventually deploy planes into warfare without a human being behind the control stick.

Is Air Travel Getting Worse? More delays, fewer accidents, and lower prices

news.ycombinator.com Maxwell Tabarrok 2025-11-25 02:06:33

Over the past couple of years, bad personal experiences with delays, testimonies from friends, and news or reactions to air travel incidents seem to have become much more common. It’s difficult to tell if these extra anecdotes reflect a change in the true rate of airline accidents and delays or if they instead result from fluctuations in the human social layer where confirmation bias, saliency, and mimesis can draw our concern far out of proportion. Thus, I turn to the primary source data. Her

When OpenAI launched GPT-5 last week, it told software engineers the model was designed to be a “true coding collaborator” that excels at generating high-quality code and performing agentic, or automated, software tasks. While the company didn’t say so explicitly, OpenAI appeared to be taking direct aim at Anthropic’s Claude Code, which has quickly become many developers’ favored tool for AI-assisted coding.
