Special counsel Robert Mueller's press conference Wednesday, which briefly described his team's thinking about how they approached obstruction allegations against the president, buried one largely buried story about the entire affair: Then and now, we as a country still collectively have our pants down on cybersecurity.

Alternative burial options are growing in popularity.

Wait! Stop! Before you order that copy of David Benioff's City of Thieves from Amazon (a book I highly recommend), check to see if it's available at your local library. Because free! Oh, I know what you're saying: You don't have time to visit your library's website or load up one of the e-book-borrowing apps (as described in how to get free e-books from your public library) and do all that manual searching.

Artificial intelligence may help doctors make more accurate readings of CT scans used to screen for lung cancer.

For more than a year now, President Donald Trump has been playing chicken with China, instituting increasingly expensive tariffs to add pressure for a trade deal that never seems to materialize. So far, those tariffs have kept clear of consumer goods like smartphones or televisions, with the most damaging taxes restricted to intermediary products like soybeans or steel.

If you’re part of the DarkModeEverything Movement (I just named it that) you’ll be disappointed to know that the much anticipated WhatsApp dark mode might not be coming to the application after all. After rumours started swirling confirming the existence of the feature we even got a closer look at what dark mode would look like but alas, the feature might have died a premature death. WABetaInfo (the authority on WhatsApp leaks) has said the company has stopped working on the feature.

The behavioral revolution in economics was triggered by a simple, haunting question: what if people don’t act rationally? This same question now vexes the technology field. In the online world, once expected to be a place of ready information and easy collaboration, lies and hate can spread faster than truth and kindness.
