You can't grow cool-climate plants in hot climates

news.ycombinator.com Joey Santore 2025-11-02 02:38:00

Since moving to Deep South Texas 4 years ago I've come to realize that many plants I used to love growing in the cool mild maritime climate of the SF bay area are impossible to grow where I live. This is not just because of the high daytime heat. It's not as simple as that. Specifically, it is the high heat during the night (and those warm nights are a direct result of the humidity) that causes cool-climate and cool-season plants to eventually die here. That's a bummer for somebody who loves pla

Ghislaine Maxwell Says She First Met Elon Musk at Sergey Brin’s Birthday Party

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-06 14:44:41

Elon Musk infamously threw Donald Trump under the bus in June when he insisted that the president was “in the Epstein files,” a reference to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But a newly released interview with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell might put the spotlight back on Musk when it comes to all things Epstein. Maxwell, who’s in prison for sex trafficking a minor, was recently interviewed by Todd Blanche, the president’s former personal attorney and now a top official at the U.S. D

US military’s X-37B spaceplane stays relevant with launch of another mission

The US military's reusable winged spaceship rocketed back into orbit Thursday night atop a SpaceX rocket, kicking off a mission that will, among other things, demonstrate how future spacecraft can navigate without relying on GPS signals. The core of the navigation experiment is what the Space Force calls the "world's highest performing quantum inertial sensor ever used in space."

Scientists are building cyborg jellyfish to explore ocean depths

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-07 04:03:08

Climate change is warming ocean waters, making the environment more acidic thanks to the absorption of carbon monoxide from the atmosphere. This endangers various marine species, and monitoring those changes is vitally important. But it can be challenging to reach the deepest waters without the aid of very expensive equipment. Moon jellyfish can swim to those depths, however, making them a potential ally in the quest to study the deep ocean. That's why researchers at the University of Colorado

‘Alien: Earth’ Is Finally Doing What the Movies Have Not

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-09 23:30:48

At their core, most of the Alien movies are about corporate greed. The lengths a company, mainly Weyland-Yutani, will go to harness and exploit a power from the deepest reaches of space. Whether that means sacrificing a whole ship of employees, a platoon of soldiers, families, criminals, or cloning dead people, almost every story in the Alien saga is about the idea that getting an alien back to Earth would be a huge benefit to the bottom line of the company. This, of course, never comes to be.
