Report describing Jony Ive’s Apple exit gains a sharp response from Tim Cook
Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal published a report describing the years and events leading up to design chief Jony Ive's recently announced departure from Apple. Among other things, it claimed Ive had become increasingly disengaged from the company and its design teams after Steve Jobs' death, in part because of his frustration with a new, emerging Apple leadership that focused more on operatio
Iranian phishers bypass 2fa protections offered by Yahoo Mail and Gmail
A recent phishing campaign targeting US government officials, activists, and journalists is notable for using a technique that allowed the attackers to bypass two-factor authentication protections offered by services such as Gmail and Yahoo Mail, researchers said Thursday. The event underscores the risks of 2fa that relies on one-tap logins or one-time passwords, particularly if the latter are sen
How I changed the law with a GitHub pull request
Recently, I found a typo in the District of Columbia’s legal code and corrected it using GitHub. My feat highlights the groundbreaking way the District manages its legal code.

SAN JOSE, California—Facebook used its latest virtual reality conference, the fifth annual Oculus Connect, to finally confirm retail plans for its most ambitious standalone VR product yet: the Oculus Quest. Originally known by its prototype name, Oculus Santa Cru
NASA says it’s building a gateway to the Moon—critics say it’s just a gate | Ars Technica
It is the year 2026. A veteran astronaut, Nicole Mann, leads her crew of four through a hatch from the Orion spacecraft onto a small space station near the Moon. Inside, it smells something like a new car. Outside, all is splendor. Below the station, half of the Moon reflects the sunlight—shimmering, silvery, and silent. The depths of space blacken the other half of the orb. In the distance, a blu
Firefox’s tracking cookie blacklist reduces website load time by 44%
Firefox's Tracking Protection feature, which blacklists the downloading of tracking cookies, reduces the loading time of the world's 200 largest websites by an average of 44 percent, according to a study carried out by a former Mozilla engineer. Tracking Protection, which has been available since the release of Firefox 35 in January, is turned off by default. It is somewhat the spiritual successor
Backdoored images downloaded 5 million times finally removed from Docker Hub
A single person or group may have made as much as $90,000 over 10 months by spreading 17 malicious images that were downloaded more than 5 million times from Docker Hub, researchers said Wednesday. The repository finally removed the submissions in May, more than eight months after receiving the first complaint. Docker images are packages that typically include a pre-configured application running
Everyone complaining about Microsoft buying GitHub needs to offer a better solution
Microsoft is buying GitHub for $7.5 billion dollars, and predictably, there's a developer backlash. GitHub, though notionally a for-profit company, has become an essential, integral part of the open-source community. GitHub offers free hosting for open-source projects and has risen to become the premiere service for collaborative, open-source development: the authoritative source repository for ma

Remediating Fukushima—“When everything goes to hell, you go back to basics”
A schematic of the Fukushima nuclear power plant hints at the complexity of decontamination and decommissioning operations. Seven years on from the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011, Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has come a long way from the state it was reduced to. Once front and center in the global media as a catastrophe on par with Chernobyl, the plant stands today as the site
