Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority When Apple drops a new health feature, the ripple effect is rarely subtle. The company’s latest announcement that hypertension notifications are coming to the Apple Watch lineup is one of those moments. For years, smartwatches have toyed with the promise of more medical-grade metrics. My hope is that now, thanks to Apple, blood pressure monitoring is about to become mainstream.

EFF to court: The Supreme Court must rein in secondary copyright liability

news.ycombinator.com Betty Gedlu 2025-10-01 16:59:27

If the Supreme Court doesn’t reverse a lower court’s ruling, internet service providers (ISPs) could be forced to terminate people’s internet access based on nothing more than mere accusations of copyright infringement. This would threaten innocent users who rely on broadband for essential aspects of daily life. EFF—along with the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, and Re:Create—filed an amicus brief urging the Court to reverse the decision. The Stakes: Turning

Scientists Say They Can't Explain the Signal They Just Detected From Beyond Our Galaxy

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-01 15:15:24

Gamma ray bursts are some of the most powerful explosions in the universe, unleashing as much energy in mere seconds as the Sun will in its entire 10 billion year lifespan. Typically, they're produced by stars dying in a spectacular supernova — a rapid collapse that completely obliterates the stellar object. But now, astronomers say they've detected a gamma ray burst that utterly defies explanation: it repeated multiple times over the course of a single day, as if the star somehow suffered back

Scientists Find Evidence of Flowing Water on Giant Asteroid

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-01 17:30:28

Today, the near-Earth asteroid known as Ryugu is bone dry. But new research suggests that the half-mile space rock may have once been flowing with liquid water — and crucially, at a period in the solar system's history far later than when that would have been thought possible. The findings, published in a new study in the journal Nature, could add weight to the theory that soggy asteroids brought Earth its first stores of H2O billions of years ago.

Does All Semiconductor Manufacturing Depend on Spruce Pine Quartz? (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Brian Potter 2025-09-27 18:12:46

Here’s an idea you see spreading across the internet every so often: that all semiconductor and solar PV manufacturing depends on extremely pure quartz from the town of Spruce Pine, North Carolina. This quartz is used to make the crucibles which hold the molten silicon as it gets turned into silicon ingots, which are then cut into wafers and made into chips. The quartz needs to be very pure to prevent impurities from seeping into the silicon, and Spruce Pine is where this very pure quartz comes

Evidence of Ancient Asteroid Impact and Tsunami Found in North Carolina

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-01 15:00:48

Around 35 million years ago, a small asteroid traveling at 40,000 miles per hour (64,373 kilometers per hour) struck Earth, crashing into the Atlantic Ocean near the modern-day town of Cape Charles, Virginia. The approximately 3-mile-wide (5-kilometer) object created a large impact crater that’s buried half a mile beneath Chesapeake Bay. Hundreds of miles south of the crater, scientists have found new evidence of the asteroid impact and the tsunami that followed the shattering event. Hidden ben
