For the record, this is not a sponsored post. I’m just frugal, and I like to travel as lightly as possible. Every piece of tech in my tightly packed bag needs to earn its keep by doing at least two jobs.As such, I’m a sucker for anything that can serve more than one purpose and does so on the cheap. Anker happens to make a lot of that type of stuff.If you’ve bought an aftermarket charger or power bank in the last decade, you’ve probably seen the name. I’ve found their gear to be equal parts reliable and budget-friendly in…

Written by Veronica GilliganAs the leader of a software development team, I recently encountered a common yet frustrating issue: the constant struggle to sync code changes among team members. Despite our communication and project management efforts, we found ourselves trapped in a cycle of lost time and confusion. I introduced this new software, and it completely changed our team’s workflow.Visual Studio Pro is…
AI is moving fast. But are we really keeping humans at the center? AI scientist, founder of Affectiva, investor at Blue Tulip, and host of Pioneers of AI, Rana el Kaliouby makes the case that human-centric AI isn’t just a safety guardrail; it’s the key to thriving socially, economically, and emotionally. She also cuts through the noise on the buzziest AI myths, including whether we’re in an AI bubble. This is an abridged transcript of an interview from Rapid Response recorded live at SXSW, hosted by former Fast Company editor-in-chief Robert Safian. From the team behind the Masters of Scale podcast,…
Published April 5, 2026 06:00AMIn 2025, a walrus attacked intrepid traveler Ralph Spitzen while he was sea kayaking in Svalbard, Norway. Spitzen told Outside what it’s like to come face-to-face with one of the ocean’s largest marine mammals—and how his quick thinking may have saved his life.Walruses are serious business. Reaching weights of up to 5,000 pounds, the massive marine mammals have tusks towering three feet in length. They’re smooth, graceful swimmers through their cold Arctic waters and have been known to brawl with polar bears. Needless to say, they’re not an animal you want to come face-to-face with. The…
For billions of Christians around the world, Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While this is not an official federal holiday, federal offices are already closed because it always falls on a Sunday.

Here’s a look at what is open and closed on Easter Sunday, which is today, April 5, 2026:Mail, schools, and the stock marketThere will be no mail delivery from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), because it is not…
These days, tech bros keep talking about “taste”— the ability to exercise human judgment and determine unique responses while guiding a machine. It’s a rare skillset, as some AI-made media automates content in the form of generic slop. And now tech professionals are the very people worried that technology will rob society of any real taste. The New Yorker’s Kyle Chayka, who broke down tech bros’ obsession with taste last month, coined the term “taste-washing” as the act of giving “anti-humanist technologies a veneer of liberal humanism.” In other words: giving AI properties human-like qualities and letting them run with…
Few could have predicted that they would one day also double as nodes for surveillance.In thousands of towns and cities across the U.S., automatic license plate readers have been installed at major intersections, bridges and highway off-ramps.These camera-based systems capture the license plate data of passing vehicles, along with images of the vehicle and time stamps. More recently, these systems are using artificial intelligence to create a vast, searchable database that can be integrated with other law enforcement data repositories.As a scholar of technology policy and data governance, I see the expansion of automatic license plate readers as a source…
With the world struggling to get oil supplies moving from the Middle East, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich raised eyebrows with a social media post highlighting a radical idea: Use nuclear bombs to cut a new channel along a route that would avoid Iranian threats in the Strait of Hormuz.Gingrich’s March 15, 2026, post linked to an article that labeled itself as satire. Gingrich has not clarified whether his endorsement was serious. But he is old enough to remember when ideas like this were not only taken seriously but actually pursued by the U.S. and Soviet governments.As I discuss in…
