They've got a few weeks.

The administration has set a deadline for fixing Healthcare.gov, the buggy federal website where Americans are supposed to purchase health insurance. "By the end of November, HealthCare.gov will work smoothly for the vast majority of users," Jeffrey Zients, who has been put in charge of the effort, said Friday on a call with reporters.

Indeed, as the Washington Post revealed when it released portions of the so-called Black Budget, this year’s price tag on America’s spook infrastructure comes out to a whopping $52.6 billion.

Eric Schmidt says company has lodged complaints with NSA, White House and Congress as criticism hardens in Silicon Valley

Everyone now is clamoring about Affordable Care Act winners and losers. I am one of the losers. My grievance is not political; all my energies are directed to enjoying life and staying alive, and I have no time for politics. For almost seven years I have fought and survived stage-4 gallbladder cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 2% after diagnosis. I am a determined fighter and extremely lucky.

The technology that makes it possible to build self-driving cars is moving much faster than the laws that would allow them to hit the roads. The same pattern may play out with self-flying drones. The Federal Aviation Administration outlined for the first time how it will deal with the rise of the drones (pdf), moving from a system in which it issues approval on a drone-by-drone basis to a more systematic process.

Isaac Asimov was one of America’s most prolific and best-loved science fiction authors, publishing more than 500 volumes in a career that spanned five decades. But newly released papers show that, in the 1960s, he was unknowingly embroiled in intrigue more suited to a John Le Carre novel, as the FBI investigated him on suspicion of being a Soviet spy.

Political conspiracy theories may date back to ancient times, but in the modern era they can go from fringe to famous in less than a work week.

Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) is introducing legislation today that would put streaming videos services on similar legal footing to traditional cable services, potentially prohibiting anticompetitive practices.
