Distraction-free writing gadget BYOK is adding custom extensions

BYOK is a no-frills, single-purpose gadget that 90 percent of people will find absolutely frivolous. But for those who spend a significant chunk of their lives putting words to virtual paper, there is an obvious allure. Personally, I think it's at its best when you just stick to the bare minimum, focusing on pure text drafting. Certain users, though, need more. They want BYOK to take notes, they want to use it for writing screenplays, or maybe they want to organize a sprawling novel. Balancing the wants and needs of these more demanding users has been a challenge that BYOK founder Nick Sjolinder has been trying to figure out how to tackle. … Read the full story at The Verge.

Star student rejected by 16 colleges, hired by Google, gets legal win in racial discrimination suit

A father in Palo Alto, California is declaring a victory in court after a federal judge allowed a civil rights lawsuit alleging anti-Asian bias in college admissions to move forward. Nan Zhong and his son, Stanley Zhong, filed federal lawsuits against several elite institutions — including the University of California system, the University of Washington, the University of Michigan, and Cornell University. The complaints allege the universities engaged in "racially discriminatory admissions practices that disadvantage highly qualified Asian-American applicants."

Ex-Hillary Clinton staffer warns Democrats that courting far-left could cost them Jewish voters

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel this week issued a blunt warning to Democratic leadership ahead of the upcoming midterms: Stop minimizing Jewish voters’ concerns, or they’ll walk. Former Hillary Clinton staffer Kaivan Shroff agreed, saying the issue is whether Jewish Democrats will feel like they have to "explain or defend a basic part of their identity to remain in good standing with the party." Appearing on the Atlantic’s "David Frum Show," Nessel accused the Democratic Party of not valuing its Jewish constituents and making them feel less welcome than members of other minority groups.

Wall Street now wants a ticker to hold almost any financial idea an investor might type into a brokerage search bar, from Bitcoin and funds promising two or three times a stock's daily return to private assets and contracts tied to elections or economic events. The ETF began as a cheap way to own a broad market portfolio, then became the distribution system for exposures that once required a futures account, a private placement, a crypto exchange, or a patient reading of a structured-note prospectus.

Iran war reaches 6-month mark: Conflict cost $1,100 per US taxpayer

After six months of war, Iran’s leadership has coalesced around a hard core of military generals and clerics long entrenched in the ruling theocracy. They are ready for a potentially long confrontation with the US and determined to prevent any unrest at home. It’s a far cry from US President Donald Trump’s initial hopes of toppling the Islamic Republic and his subsequent claims that “regime change” had brought more compromising officials to the fore. In an analysis, FRANCE 24's Philip Turle said the war had so far cost around 1,100 US dollars for each US taxpayer.

According to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the proposed charter would authorize 7.4 billion Class A shares, 100 million Class B shares, 2.4 billion Class C shares, and 100 million preferred shares. The transaction itself covers up to about 34.5 million Class A shares and 11.5 million warrants, leaving Evernorth with substantial unused capacity after the combination closes.

The Nancy Grace Roman space telescope survived two rounds of proposed White House budget cuts, and will embark on a million-mile journey into deep space from a launchpad at the Kennedy Space Center at 7.26am ET, barring late technical issues or intervention from Florida’s notoriously capricious summer weather.

Appeals court delivers unsettling ruling — and says Supreme Court left it no choice

A federal appeals court says decades-old Supreme Court precedent forced it to protect the in-home possession of AI-generated child sexual abuse material, as judges warned that rapidly advancing technology has complicated legal lines drawn nearly 25 years ago. The ruling exposes a widening gap between Supreme Court precedent and rapidly advancing artificial intelligence. The Seventh Circuit said it was bound by a 2002 Supreme Court decision that rejected restrictions on sexually explicit depictions of fictional children when no actual child was involved in their creation. But two judges warned that modern AI can now generate images virtually indistinguishable from material depicting the abuse

However, almost all of that amount came from ETH that Grayscale's older trusts already held, so the launch moved an existing pool into exchange-traded products, while a much smaller share came from the other issuers' seed positions.

Court rules Kalshi sports bets aren't "swaps," just gambling with a different name

Kalshi today lost a major ruling over whether it can evade state gambling laws, as a federal appeals court found that Nevada can stop the prediction market from allowing sports bets. While the Trump administration is trying to help prediction markets avoid state regulation, a panel of three Trump-appointed judges unanimously ruled against Kalshi in today's decision from the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. The Nevada Gaming Control Board today said the 9th Circuit "emphatically reject[ed] the view that the federal Commodity Exchange Act preempts application of Nevada’s gaming laws to sports-event contracts offered by Kalshi, Crypto.com, and Robinhood."

Cities terminate Flock contracts at record pace in August

New data compiled by a Bay Area anti-surveillance advocacy group shows that not only are American localities dropping cameras from Flock Safety, but they are doing it at an accelerating rate. Communities from Lansing, Michigan, to Pflugerville, Texas, are ending their relationship with Flock, largely over concerns regarding out-of-control surveillance, unwanted data sharing, high expenses, and reports of police abusing the tool. Secure Justice, an Oakland-based advocacy group, has recorded 214 cities and counties that have dropped Flock since 2021.

Senators are renewing calls for anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy to step down or be ousted—and at least one is calling for a criminal investigation—amid the release of documents they say prove Kennedy lied to them during his confirmation hearings last year.

Even small temperature increases represent a huge gain in heat energy in the ocean because of its vast volume, noted the 2025 European state of the climate report.

Some cyberattacks start with a suspicious email. Others begin somewhere you would probably never think to look. It could be an old router in someone's home. Maybe it is a forgotten security camera that still connects to the internet. Hackers can compromise vulnerable connected devices and use them to disguise where an attack really comes from. That tactic played a role in a China-linked hacking operation that U.S. authorities say took aim at some of America's most sensitive networks.
