NASA Rewrites the Rules for Developers of Private Space Stations

wired.com Eric Berger 2025-12-06 04:30:00

About five years from now, a modified Dragon spacecraft will begin to fire its Draco thrusters, pushing the International Space Station out of its orbit and sending the largest object humans have built in space inexorably to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. And then what? China’s Tiangong Space Station will still be going strong. NASA, however, faces a serious risk of losing its foothold in low-Earth orbit. Space agency leaders have long recognized this and nearly half a decade ago awarded abo

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during an event with Apple CEO Tim Cook in the Oval Office of the White House on August 6, 2025 in Washington, DC. U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed 100% tariffs on the import of semiconductors has brought major chip names into the spotlight. Questions linger about how these duties will be implemented: will they apply to the raw chip itself that is imported, or the end product, like a smartphone or laptop?

How AI Conquered the US Economy: A Visual FAQ

news.ycombinator.com Derek Thompson 2025-12-06 20:12:54

The American economy has split in two. There’s a rip-roaring AI economy. And there’s a lackluster consumer economy. You see it in the economic statistics. Last quarter, spending on artificial intelligence outpaced the growth in consumer spending. Without AI, US economic growth would be meager. You see it in stocks. In the last two years, about 60 percent of the stock market’s growth has come from AI-related companies, such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Meta. Without the AI boom, stock market retur

A Man Who Beat IBM

The history of the personal computer wasn't just about technology—it was about vision, trust, and the courage to stand up to a monopoly. In his latest piece for The Crazy Ones, Gareth Edwards tells the story of how Compaq challenged IBM's dominance in the 1980s. When IBM tried to reclaim control of the PC market with proprietary technology, Compaq CEO Rod Canion decided to create an open standard and share it with competitors—effectively giving away "the company jewels" to preserve innovation.

But some tech executives and engineers are wrestling with the potential harms of the shift. Once they build autonomous drones and A.I. weapons for the military, they will have little control over how the technology is deployed. That has led to debates over whether more people will be killed by these advanced weapons than traditional ones, three engineers at Google and Meta said. “These Silicon Valley companies are hyper competitive, and in their drive to get into these defense sectors, there is

Perhaps a more revealing aspect of the Manifesto was the claim that: “Before the Portuguese discovered Brazil, Brazil had discovered happiness.” This statement conferred a local imprimatur on a vision that applied, and perhaps still applies, in Europe and North America of far-off Brazil as a kind of natural and human paradise, a place not only abundant, tropical, and permissive, but also one where race has become unimportant — a fantasy, of course, but one worth holding on to.
