The 74-year-old computer programmer passed away due to complications from COVID-19. His obituary indicates that he passed away on March 14 after battling the illness.

He retired from programming in 2001 and spent time traveling and building model trains. “He invented GIF all by himself — he actually did that at home and brought it into work after he perfected it,” his wife Kathaleen told Verge. “He would figure out everything privately in his head and then go to town programming it on the computer.” Stephen once said that his favorite GIF was the dancing baby that you’ve likely seen before.

Orlando FreeFall death: Operator made 'manual adjustments' to Tyre Sampson's seat, report says

ORLANDO, Fla. - The forensic investigation into how 14-year-old Tyre Sampson fell to his death from the Orlando FreeFall drop tower ride at ICON Park concluded that one of the ride's harness sensors had been manually adjusted, falsely providing a safety OK, when Sampson was, in fact, not properly secured, according to the report's findings.Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said that findings by Quest Engineering, a forensics company hired by the state, determined that the operator of the Orlando FreeFall made manual adjustments to the ride's harness sensor "resulting in it being unsafe.""The report confirms that manual adjustments had been made to the sensor for the seat in question that allowed the harness to restraints opening to be almost double that of the normal restraints opening range," Fried said during a Monday afternoon press conference."These misadjustments allowed the safety lights to illuminate improperly satisfying the rides electronic safety mechanisms, that allowed the ride to operate even though Mr. Sampson was not properly secured in the seat."You can view a copy of Quest Engineering's report below.Fried said that there are many other potential contributing factors that may have played a role in the incident and the investigation continues. The drop tower will remain closed indefinitely, Fried said. Fried promised earlier this month a "complete and thorough investigation" into how Tyre Sampson fell from the Orlando FreeFall drop tower at ICON Park.

The brouhaha over data on pandemic mortality

The New York Times, the WHO pegged extra deaths above the pre-covid norm at about 15 million globally by the end of 2021. This figure, which includes indirect losses from a healthcare crunch caused by a covid crowding-out, is around 9 million above the combined tally reported by governments. India, with an official covid death toll of roughly 520,000, was estimated to account for at least 4 million deaths. While this broadly conforms with independent studies by other agencies, it has evoked a sharp response from New Delhi, which has sought to poke holes in the methodology that was used for it. As the controversy draws global attention, the validity of our stance is likely to face scrutiny around the globe.

Johnny Depp Trial: Claims that couple was engaged in 'mutual abuse'

Tax Day 2022: Deadline to file is Monday — what to know if you need an extension

WASHINGTON - Monday is Tax Day 2022, the federal deadline to file income tax returns and pay taxes owed, and the IRS expects millions of last-minute filings both electronically and through the mail. The IRS said that as of April 8, it had received more than 103 million returns for this tax season. For comparison, last year more than 169 million people completed an income tax return by the end of the year. That probably leaves nearly 40% of this year's taxpayers still unaccounted for, with many scrambling to submit their documents by Monday.Meanwhile, some 15 million taxpayers are expected to request an extension of time to file, according to the agency.
