Tesla's nearly $1 trillion new pay plan for Musk would expand his voting power

cnbc.com Lora Kolodny 2025-10-10 16:59:06

Tesla is asking investors to approve yet another outsized pay plan for CEO Elon Musk, according to a financial filing out Friday. The total package is worth about $975 billion based on the maximum payout, assuming share count remains. The proposed plan for Musk, already the world's wealthiest individual, consists of 12 tranches of shares to be granted if Tesla hits certain milestones over the next decade. It would also give Musk increased voting power over the EV maker and aspiring robotics ti

Influencers Will Have to Complete a Long Walk to See ‘The Long Walk’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-20 15:15:19

The rules of The Long Walk are simple. Participants must walk at a minimum of three miles per hour until only one remains. Dip below that, and you get a warning. Three warnings, and you’re out. So, basically, it’s walk or die. The concept makes for a very tense, emotional film, which hits theaters September 12. And now, a group of influencers will do their best to complete the same task. This Saturday, August 30, Lionsgate has invited a group of press and influencers in Los Angeles to see The L

It's the perfect time to buy a cheap used EV

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-23 23:30:15

Early this summer, my wife and I had an inconvenient realization: we may need to be in two places at once. An urgent doctor appointment could conflict with YMCA day camp pickup, or our kids would get invited to two birthday parties on the same morning at godforsaken activity centers in separate towns. There was no doubt we needed another car. A big ticket purchase seemed unjustifiable when we don't know what eggs will cost next month — and my search for an aftermarket Prius within my budget was

How much do electric car batteries degrade?

news.ycombinator.com Hannah Ritchie 2025-11-11 15:53:20

It’s always the battery in my mobile phone that gives up on me first. After just a few years, it can barely make it through the day without getting another charge. Most electric cars have the same types of batteries — usually lithium-ion — so the assumption is that they degrade just as quickly. This is a fairly common fear for people considering a new EV: “Won’t the battery need to be replaced after a few years?”. And I think it’s even more prominent in the second-hand market: “Oh, I’d never bu

Weather satellites detect 515-mile-long lightning flash

news.ycombinator.com Stefanie Waldek 2025-12-03 15:10:28

Some areas are more prone to lightning storms than others. It's 2017, and a thunderstorm shoots off a lightning bolt. What's so special about that, you ask? Well, the bolt is an astonishing 515 miles (829 kilometers) long. Using archival satellite data, researchers just officially confirmed the length of this enormous bolt of lightning that stretched from Texas to Missouri. It sets a new world record, besting the previous title holder — a 477-mile (768-km) bolt from 2020 — by 38 miles (61 km).

Astonishing ‘Megaflash’ Sets World Record for Longest Lightning Strike

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-12-13 15:35:49

A lightning flash tore across the sky above the Great Plains, stretching across a staggering 515 miles (829 kilometers) from eastern Texas to Kansas City. That “megaflash” shattered the previous record for longest lightning flash of 477 miles (768 kilometers), set in 2023. An international team of researchers documented the record-breaking flash in a new report in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.

Similes! I have hundreds of them on three-by-five notecards, highbrow and lowbrow, copied from newspapers, comic strips, sonnets, billboards, and fortune cookies. My desk overflows with them. They run down to the floor, trail across the room into the hallway. I have similes the way other houses have ants. Why? To start, for the sheer laugh-out-loud pleasure of them. “His smile was as stiff as a frozen fish,” writes Raymond Chandler. “He vanished abruptly, like an eel going into the mud,” writes

This is the daftest e-scooter in the world

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-08 05:13:41

The minds behind Bo’s sublime e-scooter met each other while working for the advanced engineering arm at (F1 team) Williams. Their mission was to take their knowledge of designing and building some of the world’s fastest cars to build a better e-scooter. But while they no longer work for a Formula One team, they can’t quite shake that desire to build vehicles that travel at preposterously daft speed. Which is why the company has today unveiled The Turbo, a souped-up version of the standard Bo e-

DEWLine Museum – The Distant Early Warning Radar Line

Typical DEWLine Stations There were two types of stations, Main and Auxiliary. The sites were placed approximately 100 miles (160 KM) apart, along the 69th parallel about 200 miles inside the Arctic circle. Originally, there was a third type of station called an Intermediate site (I-Site), located midway between each of the Main and Aux sites, and would have been home for about 5-people. The 28 I-Sites proved ineffective and were abandoned in 1963.

9 Best Electric Scooters (2025), Tested and Reviewed

2025 VW ID Buzz review: If you want an electric minivan, this is it

If you had asked me a few years ago, I would have told you that the review you're about to read would be one of the most-read car reviews of the year. For a while—quite a long while, in fact—the Volkswagen ID Buzz was the hottest electric vehicle you couldn't buy. Starting in 2001, VW began teasing concept after concept that called back to its various Transporters and Kombis, classic microbuses reimagined as modern minivans.

Experimental Propulsion Tech Could Reach Mysterious Planet Beyond Pluto in 10 Years

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-02-11 10:21:13

On November 14, 2003, astronomers spotted what was at the time the most distant known object orbiting the Sun. They called it Sedna after the Inuit goddess of the ocean. It’s a cold, reddish dwarf planet that drifts billions of miles away from the Sun during its 10,000-year orbit before coming in for a relatively close approach to our star. Its next perihelion is happening in July 2076, and astronomers want to take advantage of this rare encounter by flying a mission to the mysterious object. A
