Residents Shut Down Google Data Center Before It Can Be Built

futurism.com Sharon Adarlo 2025-10-23 23:45:00

Google nixed plans for a gigantic $1 billion data center on more than 460 acres of land in Indiana after residents hotly protested the proposal due to concerns that the complex would jack up electricity prices for neighbors and suck away untold gallons of water in an area already plagued with drought. The tech behemoth was planning to rezone the acreage for the data center, but then withdrew the plans at a raucous Monday meeting where the Indianapolis City Council was expected to vote on whethe

The Death of Utilitarian Programming

Utilitarian coding is defined as follows:It might appear somewhat abstract or vague, so examples might help. For example, I don't consideras utilitarian code. What you create are like the "frames" of a picture box, someone else (the user) will take it and draw the actual picture. Though you did help with part of the process, it's indirect at best. You're part of the supply chain here, not part of the team. A clever and witty bash script running on a unix server somewhere is also not utilitarian

Oldest Shell Jewelry Workshop in Western Europe Dates Back 42,000 Years

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-23 22:00:15

Between 55,000 and 42,000 years ago, the Châtelperronian people lived in what is now modern-day France and northern Spain. Their tool industry is among the earliest known from this part of the world during the Upper Paleolithic, a time spanning 55,000 and 42,000 years ago. And as new research suggests, Châtelperronians also had a knack for shell-based jewelry. Researchers excavating at the Palaeolithic site of La Roche-à-Pierrot in Saint-Césaire on France’s Atlantic coast have discovered pigmen

The latest episode published by tech channel The Serial Port began with an interesting question: Is it possible to stream YouTube via dial-up internet? As the headline suggests, the answer is a resounding yes, with our intrepid heroes managing to establish a connection offering download speeds of 668.8 kbps.

Lifetime of social ties adds up to healthy aging at molecular level

news.ycombinator.com Laura Reiley 2025-10-23 17:00:41

The cumulative effect of social advantages across a lifetime – from parental warmth in childhood to friendship, community engagement and religious support in adulthood – may slow the biological processes of aging itself. These social advantages appear to set back “epigenetic clocks” such that a person’s biological age, as measured by analyzing DNA methylation patterns, is younger than their chronological age.

NASA drops ISS cargo guarantee, forcing Sierra Space to pivot

When Sierra Space won a contract to deliver cargo to the International Space Station nearly a decade ago, the company promised a first for the commercial space market: a privately built, rapid reuse and cargo return spaceplane capable of landing on commercial runways. That dream has changed. In a modification to the contract announced earlier this week, NASA and Sierra Space agreed to remove the agency’s guarantee to purchase cargo flights to the ISS.

New math revives geometry's oldest problems

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight. Such questions, which ask for the number of solutions that satisfy a set of geometric conditions, were a favorite of the ancient Greeks. And they’ve continued to entrance mathematicians for millennia. How many lines lie on a cubic surface? How many quadratic curves lie on a quintic surface? (Twen

There's no escaping that the new Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max have a lot in common with Apple's latest iPhones.
