Investigators Used Terrible Computer Fraud Laws To Ensure People Were Punished For Leaking Air Crash Footage To CNN

Earlier this year, an Army helicopter collided with a passenger plane over the Potomac River in Washington, DC. All sixty-seven people aboard both vehicles were killed.

How I accidentally became PureGym's unofficial Apple Wallet developer

Tired of fumbling with the PureGym app for 47 seconds every morning, I reverse-engineered their API to build an Apple Wallet pass that gets me in with a quick wrist scan.

For the technically curious, understanding how fare buckets work reveals the "source code" of airline revenue management. This report delves into the hierarchy of booking classes, how airlines update seat...
