Crypto rules of the road framework unveiled by Republican senators

Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, who heads the panel's digital assets committee, the future bill

Tell HN: Meta developer account suspended

Hi all, my Meta developer account was suddenly restricted without warning, and there’s no way to appeal or reach support. I believe this may have been triggered by a location (read, IP address) change: I’m a student-entrepreneur who recently moved from China to Kenya for school holidays. I’m building a WhatsApp-based accounting tool for African small businesses, and this restriction is blocking critical operations. I’ve come across others facing the same issue, with no review option or clear re

How Prehistoric Mammoth Tusks Could Help Bust Modern-Day Ivory Smugglers

Selling elephant ivory—a hard white material from elephant tusks, for which elephants are often killed—is illegal. Selling ivory collected from the remains of extinct Mammoths, however, is—somehow—not. Because the two are hard to tell apart, illegal traders are slipping under the radar by mixing elephant ivory with legally traded mammoth ivory. A new forensic tool, however, might soon put an end to this nefarious trick. Wildlife forensic scientists in China suggest that authorities can differen

Media Matters is suing the FTC to block investigation into X advertiser boycott

Media Matters for America has sued the US Federal Trade Commission, claiming that the agency is unfairly targeting it in retaliation for past criticisms of the social media platform X in violation of the organization's First Amendment rights. It's the latest move in the ongoing hostilities between the nonprofit media watchdog and X owner Elon Musk. "The Federal Trade Commission seeks to punish Media Matters for its journalism and speech in exposing matters of substantial public concern—includin

’28 Years Later’ Filmmakers Break Down That Controversial Surprise Ending

The ending of 28 Years Later flips the entire movie on its head. After almost two hours of dread and pain, the film ends on a high-energy, seemingly out-of-left-field action sequence that leaves almost every audience member scratching their head. What the hell was that? What is the point? Well, clearly, you can interpret it however you’d like, but director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland do have some thoughts on the matter. In the film, the main character Spike leaves his protected home to

Apple keeps pulling its own ads

is a news writer who covers the streaming wars, consumer tech, crypto, social media, and much more. Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO. Apple has taken down a new ad just one day after posting it, making it the fourth one removed in just over a year, as spotted earlier by MacRumors. The nearly eight-minute-long ad, titled “The Parent Presentation,” featured comedian Martin Herlihy giving students advice on how to convince their parents to buy them a Mac. Apple posted the ad on Frid

Report: Apple to announce ‘some’ App Store changes in the EU to avoid additional DMA fines

In April, Apple was fined 500 million euros for violating the Digital Markets Act in the European Union. Since that penalty was announced, however, the company hasn’t announced any further changes to its App Store Guidelines to avoid further fines. A new report from the Financial Times today says that Apple is “locked in last-minute” negotiations with the European Commission about ways to ease its App Store anti-steering provisions. Following the fine in April, Apple was given 60 days to start

Cataphract: Medieval-fantasy roleplaying wargame, in the Black-Sea C. 1300

Cataphracts Design Diary #1 Cataphracts commanders: there is no actionable intelligence in this post. Read on. About two months ago, I reread several series on military historian Bret Devereaux’s blog, ACOUP: analyses of Helm’s Deep and Minas Tirith, breakdowns of pre-modern command and pre-modern logistics, and, of course, a post simply titled “How Fast Do Armies Move?”. I’m a fan of Devereaux’s—he writes in that delicious space of really knowing his history yet also with the understanding he

Git Notes: Git's coolest, most unloved­ feature (2022)

the short of it is: they’re cool for appending notes from automated systems (like ticket or build systems) but not really for having interactive conversations with other developers (at least not yet) – Scott Chacon, GitHub.blog, Aug. 2010 Git notes are almost a secret. They’re buried by their own distressing usability. But git notes are continually rediscovered by engineers trying to stash metadata inside git. Sun, 30 Oct 2022 11:05 @simonw Git notes are powerful tools. And they could solve

How Borderlands 4 mixes the action up with Fadefields and The Vault | Graeme Timmins interview — The DeanBeat

Borderlands 4 has some clear runway now that Grand Theft Auto VI is coming next year instead of this year. The action role-playing first-person shooter looter game (now priced at $70 instead of the previously floated $80) is coming on September 12 on the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and the Windows PC. I visited 2K’s Hangar 13 studio in Novato, California, and played a couple of hours of Borderlands 4. I have been writing up my impressions this week. I also interviewed the

Seriously, What Is ‘Superintelligence’?

Meta just announced a major move in its AI efforts—investing in Scale AI and building a superintelligence AI research lab. While Meta has been trying to keep up with big names in the AI race, such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, the company's new strategy includes dropping some serious cash to acquire talent and invest in Scale AI. Today on the show, we dive into the deal between Meta and Scale AI, including what Meta aims to get out of investment, and we ask the question we are all wondering:

This Galaxy Z Fold 7 dummy puts its ultra-thin design into perspective

TL;DR A new YouTube video shows a Galaxy Z Fold 7 dummy model based on leaks and rumors, giving our best look yet at the expected design. The video shows the foldable’s slim profile, with side-by-side comparisons showing how much thinner it is than the Fold 6. The dummy also illustrates the switch to a punch-hole camera and a larger outer display. We’re just weeks away from Samsung’s next Unpacked event, but a new mockup is offering our clearest look yet at what to expect from the Galaxy Z Fo

Let’s Talk About the Ending of ’28 Years Later’

One of the few flaws in Danny Boyle’s new film, 28 Years Later, is that it ends a chapter, not a full story. That’s because this new zombie tale is the first film of a proposed trilogy, one that has its second film coming in January of 2026. With at least one sequel guaranteed, Boyle and his writer, Alex Garland, can safely leave several threads lingering, offering hints of what’s to come. Let’s break it down with full spoilers. One of the biggest shocks in 28 Years Later is its manic ending. A

Risk Expert Says "Learn to Code" Is Now Worse Advice Than "Get a Face Tattoo"

During a recent exchange on "Real Time with Bill Maher," risk analyst Ian Bremmer argued that artificial intelligence has basically eviscerated the "learn to code" cottage industry. When discussing the way AI has swept the world and taken many white collar jobs with it, Bremmer referenced how rapidly the technology has overtaken the traditional career trajectory for programmers — so much so that people who used to have cushy software developer jobs are now selling their plasma to make ends meet

EU: Apple and Meta won’t face immediate sanctions after June 26 DMA deadline

With the first big enforcement deadline under the EU’s new Digital Markets Act (DMA) just days away, the European Commission is signaling a more measured approach toward two of the law’s highest-profile targets: Apple and Meta. Here’s what today’s news means in context. 60-day grace period to end on June 26 In April, both companies were fined (€500 million for Apple, €200 million for Meta) for failing to meet their DMA obligations and given 60 days to start complying.

Those Creatine Gummies You Bought Online Might Not Contain Any Creatine

Gummy supplements are appealing for one obvious reason: Instead of choking down a chalky powdered drink or swallowing a dubious-smelling capsule, you essentially get to eat some candy. Unfortunately, when it comes to creatine, these products might not contain the essential ingredient they claim. Four of six popular creatine gummy products sold on Amazon contained almost no creatine or none at all when samples were tested by an independent lab. Creatine, a staple supplement for weightlifters and

All 17 fired vaccine advisors unite to blast RFK Jr.’s “destabilizing decisions”

All 17 experts ousted from the federal vaccine advisory committee have spoken out about the drastic changes that anti-vaccine advocate and current US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made since taking office. Those changes include unilaterally restricting access to COVID-19 vaccines and summarily firing the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which had guided federal vaccine policies for more than 60 years.

Karma Strikes Back in the New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Trailer

It’s been 28 years since that vengeful hook-handed killer targeted Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.), and their friends—but 29 since the hit-and-run that set their misery in motion. In the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, a direct sequel to 1998’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (the one set in the Bahamas), Julie and Ray are back, though the focus is clearly on the next generation of good-looking kids who haven’t yet learned the importance of taking responsibility

Everything we know about the 2026 Nissan Leaf

Nissan provided flights from Detroit to Los Angeles and accommodation so Ars could be briefed on the next Leaf. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. The first-generation Nissan Leaf was an incredible achievement for the company and for the industry. A mass-market EV that wasn't priced out of reach was something the industry needed at the time. That's important. Since then, things have stagnated. To say that the 2026 Leaf is the most important EV launch for Nissan since the original car
