Tesla CEO Elon Musk says U.S. government...

September 29, 2021

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday said the U.S. government should steer clear of trying to regulate the crypto market. “It is not possible to, I think, destroy crypto, but it is possible for governments to slow down its advancement,” Musk said at the Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California.

September 29, 2021

| Entrepreneurship

For years, the Honda CR-V has been one of the most appealing small crossover SUVs on the market. It boasts a smooth ride, enjoyable acceleration and handling, and lots of passenger and cargo space. However, Honda introduced this latest CR-V generation back for the 2017 model year and hasn’t significantly updated it since. And that has opened the door for newer rivals to challenge its reign. One of those hopefuls is the redesigned 2022 Hyundai Tucson. Some of its…

Foresight Forensics: Breaking the Rules

September 29, 2021

Foresight Forensics: Breaking the Rules Sep 28, 2021 By Jamais Cascio The process of creating forecasts, especially scenario-based forecasts, is simultaneously creative and structured. On the one hand, you want the scenario to engage the reader, provoking them into new perspectives on an issue. On the other, you want the forecast to be grounded in plausibility. This balance can be tricky, and there are pitfalls that can be easy to stumble into. I wrote a quick list of those……

Zeroing in on the origins of Earth’s...

September 28, 2021

Some time in Earth’s early history, the planet took a turn toward habitability when a group of enterprising microbes known as cyanobacteria evolved oxygenic photosynthesis — the ability to turn light and water into energy, releasing oxygen in the process. This evolutionary moment made it possible for oxygen to eventually accumulate in the atmosphere and oceans, setting off a domino effect of diversification and shaping the uniquely habitable planet we know today. Now, MIT scientists have a precise……

Sushi Carousels and the Future of Contact-Free...

September 28, 2021

This article is adapted from the September 25, 2021, edition of Gastro Obscura’s Favorite Things newsletter. You can sign up here.

September 28, 2021

Tesla bet big on bitcoin earlier this year with a $1.5 billion investment, and it paid off: Bloomberg estimates that the company made $1 billion on its purchase in the first quarter of……

Citizens emerge from the slums

September 28, 2021

Do the world’s nearly 1 billion urban poor, who subsist without legal housing, reliable water and sewer infrastructure, and predictable employment, lack political engagement as well? Ying Gao does not buy the claim by many social scientists that social and economic marginalization necessarily means political marginalization. “My results contradict the prevailing wisdom about slums and the political behaviors they are believed to foster,” says Gao, a doctoral student in political science. “I’m discovering that people do not participate less……
