Scientists Working to Decode Signal From Earliest Years of Universe

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-07 03:45:54

As mysterious as the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe is the brief but tumultuous period that immediately followed it. How did the cosmos transform from a uniform sea of darkness into a chaotic swirl brimming with radiant stars? What were these first stars like, and how were they born? So far, we have very strong suspicions, but no hard answers. One reason is that the light from this period, called the cosmic dawn, is extremely faint, making it nearly impossible to infer the traits of t

P-Hacking in Startups

How does a phone with a crazy external lens compare to the S23 Ultra’s zoom camera?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-07 00:00:39

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The vivo X200 Ultra is a great camera phone in its own right (if you’re willing to import it), in no small part due to its impressive 200MP 3.7x periscope camera. However, the company switches things up by offering an optional external lens for even better zoom. The X200 Ultra’s 2.35x telephoto converter lens effectively turns the phone’s 200MP periscope camera into an ~8.6x shooter. I thought it would be a good idea to compare this lens to the Galaxy S23 Ultr

NYC proposes 5 percent raise for rideshare drivers in a bid to appease Uber and Lyft

New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) have settled on new minimum-wage rules for rideshare drivers, Bloomberg reports. Drivers will receive a five percent raise under the new proposal, a compromise to keep Uber and Lyft from locking drivers out of their apps.

If you've been in the ocean, there's been a shark not that far from you, and it knew you were there, and you probably had no idea it was there and had a pleasant day in the water. The sharks that do bite people, they take a little bite and they go, what is that? And swim away. That can be real bad if it hits a major artery or if you're far from shore. Again, I don't want to minimize the real harm. But it is not a shark hunting you because it has a taste for human flesh. They don't have hands. Th
