gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-12-02 23:10:38

Just before Labor Day weekend, the White House issued an executive order that excludes NASA and other agencies from collective bargaining rights. NASA employees have previously expressed public dismay against the administration’s budget cuts to the agency and its policy against diversity programs, and the latest order is another major blow to the staff.

As the Great Salt Lake Shrinks, Something Unexpected Is Rising to the Surface

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-12-02 23:20:14

The Great Salt Lake once reached depths of up to 1,000 feet and spanned roughly 20,000 square miles, but today, it mostly resembles a parched wasteland. So, when signs of life suddenly began popping up across the drying playa, scientists were perplexed. In the last several years, reed-covered mounds have appeared off the lake’s southeast shore. These densely vegetated oases must receive enough freshwater to sustain plant life, but experts weren’t sure where this resource was coming from. Resear

Tech Utopians Are Using a Chinese-Built ‘Ghost City’ to Trial Their Network State Fantasies

For the better part of a decade, tech investor Balaji Srinivasan has been calling for Silicon Valley to “secede” from the rest of the United States. The free-market tech guru doesn’t just want space from regulators and government officials; he literally wants the industry’s coders and bigwigs to split off and crowdfund their own separate country. Over the years, Srinivasan has articulated his own political philosophy, which he calls “the network state” movement—an anarcho-capitalist school of t

This Common Heart Attack Drug May Actually Be Worthless for Most People

A common treatment given after heart attacks may not be worthwhile for a large segment of the population.

A large international team of researchers conducted the trial, which compared the outcomes of nearly 10,000 heart attack patients who were either given beta-blocker therapy or not. “This trial will reshape all international clinical guidelines.’ On average, people with prese

For years, Elon Musk has spoken of the promise of Dojo, the AI supercomputer that was supposed to be the cornerstone of Tesla’s AI ambitions.
