Bitcoin’s weekend crash is being blamed on a single whale who sold 24,000 Bitcoin, according to crypto watchers on X. Bitcoin’s most recent peak hit $117,370 on Friday, not too far from the all-time high of $124,500. But Bitcoin is currently sitting at $112,660, well below recent highs. “Bitcoin fla

The unlikely revival of nuclear batteries

In 1970, surgeons in Paris implanted the first nuclear-powered pacemaker, and over the next five years, at least 1,400 additional people received the devices, mostly in France and the United States. Encased in titanium, the batteries for these devices contained a radioactive isotope—typically about a tenth of a gram of plutonium-238—and could operate for decades without maintenance.

One of the more salient side effects of the incredible shrinking tech sector is the loss of so many high-paying jobs, many of which young jobseekers were encouraged to apply for by those who implored them to "learn to code." As such, we generally expect inflated salaries when we learn what people who work at Big Tech firms make — between $120,000 and $160,000 for entry-level positions, say, and up to a half a million dollars for middle management.
