It is the start of the new year, and the 2025 Christmas holidays have come and gone with the blink of an eye it seems. I was at a Christmas party when a friend asked me a question I could not immediately answer. He asked: “How much of the Christmas presents given actually get returned by the recipients?” When I got home, I dug into my work archives because I remember having visited a company that processed product returns for major retail chains. The DC (distribution center) that this 3PL (third party logistics) provider operates is in Eastern Pennsylvania, strategically…

SLAC researchers develop an approach to better guide the preparation of cell slices for cryogenic electron tomography imaging. It’s tricky business taking images of tiny structures within cells. One technique, cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons that emerge allow researchers to reconstruct the internal architecture of a cell in 3D with near-atomic resolution. The thing is, this method doesn’t work if a sample is too thick. Electrons can’t penetrate through most cells, including human cells. Instead, researchers use a beam of ions to mill these beefier cells down to 200 nanometer-thick…
The mobile-first design methodology is great—it focuses on what really matters to the user, it’s well-practiced, and it’s been a common design pattern for years. So developing your CSS mobile-first should also be great, too…right? Article Continues Below Well, not necessarily. Classic mobile-first CSS development is based on the principle of overwriting style declarations: you begin your CSS with default style declarations, and overwrite and/or add new styles as you add breakpoints with min-width media queries for larger viewports (for a good overview see “What is Mobile First CSS and Why Does It Rock?”). But all those exceptions create complexity…
Surveillance technology is advancing faster than the laws meant to govern it. Across the United States, police departments are deploying automated license plate readers, facial recognition tools, and predictive systems that quietly log the daily movements of millions of people. These tools promise efficiency and safety, but critics argue that they represent a form of warrantless mass surveillance, and raise deep constitutional questions about privacy, accountability, and the limits of government power in the digital age. Michael Soyfer is an attorney at the Institute for Justice, a nonprofit public interest law firm focused on defending individual rights. His work centers…

Long before Taco Tuesday became part of the pop-culture vernacular, Tuesdays were synonymous with security — and for anyone in the tech world, they still are. Patch Tuesday, as you most likely know, refers to the day each month when Microsoft releases security updates and patches for its software products — everything from Windows to Office to SQL Server, developer tools to browsers. The practice, which happens on the second Tuesday of the month, was initiated to streamline the patch distribution process and make it easier for users and IT system administrators to manage updates. Like tacos, Patch Tuesday is…
