Vem mördade statsminister Olof Palme – en fråga som fortfarande är obesvarad och som beskrivs som ett nationellt trauma. Brittiska The Guardian berättar om händelserna, utredningen och om en mordutredning som fortfarande är aktuell 33 år senare.
The mystery of Palme’s death has become a national obsession. “One of my earliest memories is of my parents discussing who killed Palme,” a friend I met while living in Sweden for the past couple of years told me. “I can’t describe to you how deep this is in the Swedish soul.” The murder has inspired films, plays and music, and has even been cited as a factor in the worldwide explosion of Scandinavian crime fiction. A number of Swedish amateur detectives have devoted much of their lives to solving the case. Investigating it has led some of them to break the law and driven others to something approaching madness.

When did your Mac last start up? Mine’s only been running continuously now for nearly ten days, but unless something forces me to, I don’t intend restarting it for another couple of weeks, and only shut it down completely a couple of times a year. Whoch is better, then: a daily boot, or leaving your Mac on as long as possible?
Traditional arguments about this have been based on the last generation of computers, with internal hard drives. I’ve been leaving my desktop Mac running constantly for many years now, and started doing so largely to reduce the risk of hard drive failure. This iMac Pro no longer has internal storage whoch spins platters, so it’s time to reassess what I do.

New York Times har sammanställt öppna, offentliga uppgifter och även kommit över annan information om Donald Trumps affärsverksamhet under tio år.
Uppgifterna pekar mot en miljard dollar i förluster och Trumps egna uppgifter om vilken bra förhandlare han är, hur framgångsrik han och hur rik han är inte stämmer. Just nu pågår en hård politisk strid för att få ut Trumps deklarationer och Trump är den förste presidenten på länge som inte vill redovisa sin ekonomi och visa sina deklarationer.
Decade in the Red: Trump Tax Figures Show Over $1 Billion in Business Losses
By the time his master-of-the-universe memoir “Trump: The Art of the Deal” hit bookstores in 1987, Donald J. Trump was already in deep financial distress, losing tens of millions of dollars on troubled business deals, according to previously unrevealed figures from his federal income tax returns.
Mr. Trump was propelled to the presidency, in part, by a self-spun narrative of business success and of setbacks triumphantly overcome. He has attributed his first run of reversals and bankruptcies to the recession that took hold in 1990. But 10 years of tax information obtained by The New York Times paints a different, and far bleaker, picture of his deal-making abilities and financial condition.

Hackers breached 3 US antivirus companies, researchers reveal
In a report published Thursday, researchers at the threat-research company Advanced Intelligence (AdvIntel) revealed that a collective of Russian and English-speaking hackers are actively marketing the spoils of data breaches at three US-based antivirus software vendors. The collective, calling itself “Fxmsp,” is selling both source code and network access to the companies for $300,000 and is providing samples that show strong evidence of the validity of its claims.
Yelisey Boguslavskiy, director of research at AdvIntel, told Ars that his company notified “the potential victim entities” of the breach through partner organizations; it also provided the details to US law enforcement. In March, Fxmsp offered the data “through a private conversation,” Boguslavskiy said. “However, they claimed that their proxy sellers will announce the sale on forums.”
