The Change Healthcare cyberattack is still impacting pharmacies. It’s a bigger deal than you think

Pharmacies across the United States are still grappling with substantial disruptions following a cyberattack on UnitedHealth’s technology unit, Change Healthcare, as reported by multiple pharmacy chains through official statements and on various social media platforms. The attack led to a nationwide outage of a network designed to communicate data between healthcare providers and insurance companies.

According to a filing last Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commiss

From AOL to AI, Kara Swisher has seen it all. Now, she’s told her story

If Kara Swisher’s new memoir, Burn Book, doubles as a history of the internet and its often jarring impact on our lives over the past three decades, it’s only natural. As she was establishing herself as an uncommonly well-sourced journalist, the online world was about to take off: The rise of AOL, followed by its disastrous merger with Time Warner, was among the dramatic arcs she chronicled early on.

Since then, Swisher has been the most entrepreneurial of reporters, both

How India’s internet shutdowns are disrupting its economy—and creating fertile ground for misinformation

In July 2015, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an audience of more than 15,000 in Delhi. Clad in a crisp all-white kurta, Modi declared, “I dream of a digital India where 1.2 billion connected Indians drive innovation.” That speech signaled the commencement of the government’s Digital India campaign, an ambitious effort aimed at establishing India as a future digital superpower.

Florida is trying to pass one of the strictest social media bans for kids under 16

A bill to create one of the nation’s most restrictive bans on minors’ use of social media is heading to Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has expressed concerns about the legislation that would keep children under the age of 16 off popular platforms regardless of parental approval.

The state House of Representatives passed the bill on a 108 to 7 vote Thursday just hours after the state Senate approved it 23 to 14. The Senate made changes to the original Hou

Here are the big winners (and one big loser) of Reddit’s IPO

Astronomers found a quasar fueled by a giant black hole that eats a sun a day

The brightest object in the universe—at least, the brightest we’ve seen yet—shines 500 trillion times brighter than the sun, and it eats a sun a day.

Objects like these are rare, and despite their objective brightness, remain elusive and hard to spot. This record-breaker was first spotted in 1980 and mischaracterized as a regular old star. Then, in a study conducted by a team out of Australia using the Siding Spring Observatory, it was recast as a quasar. Observ

A case for making our AI chatbots more confrontational

Spend any time interacting with AI chatbots and their tone can start to grate. No question is too taxing or intrusive for the noncorporial assistants, and if you probe under the hood of the bot too much, it’ll respond in a platitudinous way designed to dullen the interaction.

Nearly a year and a half into the generative-AI revolution, researchers are starting to wonder whether that deathly dull format is the best approach.
