Nvidia Wants in on the Robotaxi Race

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-09-21 23:25:10

Nvidia is in talks to invest $500 million in the London-based self-driving car startup Wayve Technologies. Nvidia’s interest comes as the sci-fi dream of driverless cars inches closer to reality. Alphabet’s Waymo robotaxis already roam several U.S. cities, Tesla is testing its own service in Austin, and Amazon’s Zoox taxis—which have no steering wheels or pedals—just started offering rides in Las Vegas this month.

The 2025 Nobel Prizes will be announced in early October. But if you’re like me, a science aficionado with an insatiable desire for ridiculous, intelligent research, yesterday’s parody of the prestigious prize may be of more interest. I am talking, of course, about the 35th Ig Nobel Prizes—an annual ceremony highlighting the weirdest research across all scientific disciplines.

This Mom Is Getting Back Into Running Shape With a Jogging Stroller, Fitness Apps and Tech

As an active mom, I enjoy doing a variety of activities to stay fit. I lift weights to get stronger (carrying a toddler around challenges your overall strength), go for walks to clear my mind, run to get my heart rate up and take a fitness class here and there. Before having my son, I completed my first marathon, several half-marathons and shorter races in between.

“Yikes”: Internal emails reveal Ticketmaster helped scalpers jack up prices

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-21 23:48:01

The Federal Trade Commission sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster on Thursday, alleging that the companies tacitly worked with scalpers to profit from jacking up ticket prices on the secondary market. As the FTC alleged in a press release, Ticketmaster's years of turning a blind eye to scalpers violated the FTC Act and the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, costing customers "billions in inflated prices and additional fees." Further, artists' efforts to keep event costs low were repeatedly frustrated

The EU Just Killed ARR

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-22 02:13:27

The EU Just Killed ARR Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) has been the backbone of SaaS for two decades. It gave investors predictable growth curves. It gave founders leverage in fundraising. It let boards sleep at night. But ARR was never a really well defined metric. And now, it may be practically dead in Europe. With the EU Data Act (effective September 2025), every SaaS contract with an EU customer becomes a “cancel anytime” subscription. Customers can walk away with two months’ notice. No e

The AI Bubble Bursting Would Actually Be Incredible for the Economy, Economist Says

The US economy is absolutely screaming. Late rent payments and loan delinquencies are skyrocketing, and the top 10 percent of earners account for nearly half of all consumer spending. In early September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the nation added over 900,000 fewer jobs than previously thought from March 2024 to 2025.

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is putting together its framework for Android developer verification, connecting dev names to even sideloaded apps. Recent additions to the Android SDK offer a little insight into how the system may ultimately operate. One variable suggests that users may not be able to sideload even verified apps without an active network connection.

British renewable energy provider Octopus Energy said this week that it’s spinning off Kraken, its tech platform for utilities, spurred in part by $500 million in committed annual revenue from other utilities and energy providers.
