techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-11-07 02:30:49

Social networking startup Bluesky has made the decision to block access to its service in the state of Mississippi, rather than comply with a new age assurance law.

In a paper published August 21 in Physical Review Letters, researchers used data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to test a hypothesis that argues black holes convert dead star matter into
