Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile’s 2021 data breach victims have started receiving payments from the $350 million settlement. While most users received around $56 or $226 each, those who proved extensive financial harm received much more — over $4,000 in two cases. Such submissions required verifiable losses, such as identity theft, and included claims for associated expenses like legal fees and credit repair fees.

At the end of April, I travelled to Dubai to observe a violin competition. It was a commission for which I was profoundly unqualified, except in one regard: I wanted to visit Dubai. The editor of a classical music website got in touch to offer me a place on the trip after another freelancer dropped out. My lack of musical knowledge would not, he explained, be a hindrance. In fact, it might even help. The aim of the commission was not to evaluate the performances, but to report on what happened,

There is no memory safety without thread safety

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-13 18:35:39

There is no memory safety without thread safety Memory safety is all the rage these days. But what does the term even mean? That turns out to be harder to nail down than you may think. Typically, people use this term to refer to languages that make sure that there are no use-after-free or out-of-bounds memory accesses in the program. This is then often seen as distinct from other notions of safety such as thread safety, which refers to programs that do not have certain kinds of concurrency bugs

Each week, Netflix releases a list of the Top 10 films and TV shows dominating the platform, and for the week of July 14, we noticed that not one, but two seasons of a TV show called Sullivan's Crossing are sitting among the most-watched titles.

Image by Getty / Futurism As most of us in the United States are well aware, the US healthcare system is a nightmarish labyrinth of profit-seeking middlemen, kafkaesque corporate bureaucracy, and insurance-inflated costs. Adding to the noxious mix is the lucrative field of private equity — a financial industry that earns its dough by buying private companies and selling their assets piecemeal, kind of like a junk dealer.

Zenbivy Light Bed Review: Still the Best Backcountry Sleep System

Zenbivy, renowned makers of outdoor bedding, have a clever quilt-and-sheet backcountry sleep system that gave me the best sleep I’ve ever had on the trail.
