Ah, the inevitabilities of life: death, taxes, and eating crow on the internet. The infrastructure service Cloudflare faced massive outages on Tuesday morning, cutting off access to a number of popular platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Spotify, and others. The outage also impacted Elon Musk’s X, just one month after the CEO gloated at a widespread AWS outage, which included the encrypted messaging service Signal. “Messages on X chat are fully encrypted with no advertising hooks or strange ‘AWS dependencies,’ so I can’t read your messages even if someone put a gun to my head,” Musk wrote on X. We cannot…

In 2023, Tayla Cannon moved from Australia to the U.S. for a job in a city she’d never seen before. “No family, no friends, just a fresh start,” she told TechCrunch.

Meanwhile, in her spare time, she became a content creator, sharing her perspective online about “proactive” and “holistic” ways people can get rid…

But until now, only Zoox employees and their friends and family have been able to hail a ride. This is not a large-scale public launch, nor a commercial one. Instead, the company will invite some of the people who signed up for the waitlist to join its early rider…
CLARYVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — Autoimmune diseases like lupus, myositis and forms of arthritis can strike children, too. At a sleepaway camp in upstate New York, some young patients got a chance to just be kids.That’s how a 12-year-old recently diagnosed with lupus found himself laughing on a high-ropes course as fellow campers hoisted him into the air.“It’s really fun,” said Dylan Aristy Mota, thrilled he was offered this rite of childhood along with the reassurance that doctors were on site.
