China Is Using Trump's Tactics Against Him to Corner the EV Market

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-04 02:22:51

Although Donald Trump presents himself as a fierce adversary of China, some of his policy moves appear to be a significant boon for the People's Republic. This spring, as Trump's chaotic tariff war captured headlines, a game-changing electric vehicle provision in his "Big Beautiful Bill" lurked just below the surface. After being signed into law on July 4, it turns out that the massive piece of legislation is set to completely upend the American EV market. That's thanks to a provision in the b

This Dark and Atmospheric '90s Flick Is a Sci-Fi Classic, and It's Streaming Free on Tubi

The '90s were the heyday of techno-noir movies, flicks that combine the cynical atmosphere and jaded perspectives of film noir with the dystopian settings and altered reality of science fiction. Though movies like The Matrix may have exploded the popularity of the genre, there were also films that didn't get the attention they deserved on release. One of my overlooked favorites is Dark City, a mind-bending techno-noir thriller that explores the idea of identity against the backdrop of a city sw

Sixty thousand years ago, two groups of Neanderthals lived just a stone’s throw apart in what’s now northern Israel. But they had very different cultures when it came to food, according to a recent study. Archaeologist Anaëlle Jallon of Hebrew University of Jerusalem and her colleagues examined dozens of animal bones from both sites, looking for clues about Neanderthal meal prep. It turns out that something as mundane as the cut marks left by butchering an animal can reveal differences in ancien

Buyers should keep an eye on the possibility of rate cuts in the next few months.

Wall Street’s AI Bubble Is Worse Than the 1999 Dot-com Bubble, Warns a Top Economist

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-02-08 12:00:10

Back in 1999, Wall Street lost its collective mind over the internet. Companies with no revenue were suddenly worth billions, “eyeballs” were treated as currency, and market analysts predicted a frictionless future where everything would be digital. Then the bubble burst. Between March 2000 and October 2002, an estimated five trillion dollars in market value vanished into thin air. Today, it is happening again.

But Marks argues that smell is one of the most potent ways to give museum visitors a visceral sense of the past, and to help them remember what they read or saw in an exhibit. Among the scents she designed for the docks exhibition was one inspired by a woman’s memory, in the oral histories, of her dockworker father’s damp woollen coat drying on an electric fire in the nineteen-sixties.

For a star, its initial mass is everything. It determines how quickly it burns through its hydrogen and how it will evolve once it starts fusing heavier elements. It's so well understood that scientists have devised a "main sequence" that acts a bit like a periodic table for stars, correlating their mass and age with their properties. The main sequence, however, is based on an assumption that's almost always true: All of the energy involved comes from the gravity-driven fusion of lighter elemen
