The Biden administration released its first National Cybersecurity Strategy on March 2, 2023. The last version was issued in 2018 during the Trump administration.
As the National Security Strategy does for national defense, the National Cybersecurity Strategy outlines a president’s priorities regarding cybersecurity issues. The document is not a directive. Rather, it describes in general terms what the administration is most concerned about, who

Mailbrew streamlines dozens of accounts you follow into a customizable digest. It used to cost $8 per month but a new owner has made it free. Read on for how to make the most of it; a demo vid and a recommended setup; caveats; and alternatives. For a quick example, here’s a new public Mailbrew digest I created.

GitHub begins rolling out a new GPT-4-powered version of its Copilot coding assistant today. The new iteration expands the tool’s functionality to more phases of the code creation process.
The original Copilot, launched in 2022, was based on the earlier GPT-3 model, and worked within the developer’s editor window to autocomplete lines or sections of code, or generate code based on plain language requests.
I have smeared on enough hydrogel cream, applied enough lash-lengthening mascara, and scrubbed my face with enough gentle face wash from skincare, makeup, and baby care brand The Honest Company to know that its products will not make me look anything like its founder, Jessica Alba. But that didn’t stop me from adding to my Amazon cart, in a depressed and susceptible state late one night, The Honest Company’s new dietary supplements—which promise immune support and a good
You don’t bet against Zach Weinberg. In 2010, at age 24, he sold Insight Media, the display advertising and exchange bidding company he cofounded with Nat Turner, to Google for a reported $81 million.

Robotic boots providing superhuman reflexes can help your balance. Our new study shows that the key to augmenting balance is to have boots that can act faster than human reaction times.
When people slip or trip, their reactions to regain balance are far slower than some machines can act. For humans, and other animals with legs, it takes time for biological sensors to send signals to the nervous system and then turn on muscles. Robots can act much faster, using wi
The Supreme Court has been signaling for a while now that it wants to take up a case about online content moderation. This week, it’ll get two.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the court will hear arguments in two cases that stand to radically upend the way companies sort, filter, and remove content on the internet, and would potentially make those companies liable for the worst content on their platforms.
The cases, Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Taamneh, both arise fr
The social media blue badge verification system is further losing its original meaning on additional platforms. On Sunday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook and Instagram would begin selling paid verification for a monthly fee. The new paid verification program comes in the wake of Twitter Blue’s subscription service last year, which allows subscribers to get a blue verified badge next to their name.
Zuckerberg’s solution is officially called Meta Verifi
