Earth’s Unusual Rapid Spin Could Prompt First-Ever ‘Negative Leap Second’

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-01 14:20:05

The Earth has been spinning unusually fast recently. Last year on July 4, our planet set a record by completing a full spin 1.66 milliseconds (0.00166 seconds) faster than usual, according to timeanddate.com. One year later, on July 10, 2025, Earth completed a daily rotation that scientists estimate was 1.36 milliseconds faster than usual, giving us another particularly short day. Other shorter (but ever-so-slightly longer) days occurred on July 9 and July 22, although the exact margins have yet

Tesla profits pulled down by falling EV sales and regulatory credits

techcrunch.com Kirsten Korosec 2026-01-05 14:48:04

Falling EV sales combined with a lower average selling price, less revenue from regulatory credits, and a decline in solar and energy storage revenue took a toll on Tesla’s bottom line during the second quarter of 2025. And a 17% growth in revenue in its services business, which includes cash generated from its Supercharging network, wasn’t enough to close the gap. The company reported Wednesday revenue of $22.5 billion, a 12% decline from the same period last year. The company’s second quarter

FCC to eliminate gigabit speed goal and scrap analysis of broadband prices

The Federal Communications Commission is ditching Biden-era standards for measuring progress toward the goal of universal broadband deployment. The changes will make it easier for the FCC to give the broadband industry a passing grade in an annual progress report. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's proposal would give the industry a thumbs-up even if it falls short of 100 percent deployment, eliminate a long-term goal of gigabit broadband speeds, and abandon a new effort to track the affordability of

No More Waiting: New Crypto Law Unlocks Cheaper, Faster Money for Everyone

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-15 15:52:16

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in legal limbo. It was too weird to regulate, too volatile to trust, and too new for Washington to take seriously. That just changed. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal law regulating stablecoins, digital currencies backed by the U.S. dollar. The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk, where it’s expected to become law. Here’s what it means for you, your money, and the financial system around you.
