Can NAD Plus Supplements Really Reverse Aging? We Talked to Doctors Learn More About These Trendy Supplements

NAD plus supplements are gaining attention on social media thanks to a claim that they "reverse" the aging process. NAD plus is a compound that naturally exists in your body and is responsible for keeping your skin looking youthful. However, as you age, its levels decrease, so it stands to reason that a supplement could help counteract that. Many people have taken to Reddit to inquire about the potential skin care effects of this supplement, particularly for more mature skin. But will taking a N

A Clear Sign Just Emerged That Tesla Is Panicking

Tesla sales are so abysmal in Canada that Elon Musk has made the drastic choice to dramatically lower the price of the new Model Y as it attempts to climb out of the hole. As Electrek reports, a Model Y in Canada now costs $65,ooo CAD ($47,465 USD), which is a cool $20,000 CAD cheaper than it was just a few days prior. We'll get into the hows and whys in a second, but first some backstory. Earlier this year, after Trump raised the specter of tariffs against its northern neighbor, Canada moved

U.S. Lawmakers Blame Canada for Ruining Summer With Wildfire Smoke

Six Republican Congress members shared their concerns in a letter addressed to Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman on Monday, July 7, asking for more information about how the government plans to mitigate wildfires and the smoke that travels south.

Shark says it can run 30 minutes with the mister consistently on or 60 minutes with it in (interval mode?), and after testing it at my son’s soccer practices, I was impressed that these estimates were more or less acc

Trump’s tariff threat pushes Canada to scrap digital services tax

In a sudden reversal, Canada has caved and will remove its digital services tax after trade talks with the US suddenly fell apart this weekend.

Frustrating US tech giants, Canada also sought to collect retroactive taxes dating back to 2022. Over the weekend, Donald

Canada caves to Trump and rescinds its digital service tax on big tech

Of Course ML Has Monads (2011)

A popular meme in the world of PL’s is that “Haskell has monads”, with the implication that this is a distinctive feature of the language, separate from all others. While it is true that Haskell has popularized the use of monads as a program structuring device, the idea of a monad is not so much an issue of language design (apart from the ad hoc syntactic support provided by Haskell), but rather one of library design. After all, a monad is just one of a zillion signatures (type classes) with whi

Canada says telcos were breached in China-linked espionage hacks

In Brief The Canadian government and the FBI say they are aware of malicious activity targeting telecommunication companies across Canada, attributing the intrusions to the China-backed hacking group Salt Typhoon. In a joint advisory out late Friday, the feds said at least one unnamed Canadian telco was hacked in mid-February this year, in which hackers manipulated three Cisco-made routers to allow stealthy traffic collection from its network. The feds say that separate investigations suggest

Canada says Salt Typhoon hacked telecom firm via Cisco flaw

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security and the FBI confirm that the Chinese state-sponsored 'Salt Typhoon' hacking group is also targeting Canadian telecommunication firms, breaching a telecom provider in February. During the February 2025 incident, Salt Typhoon exploited the CVE-2023-20198 flaw, a critical Cisco IOS XE vulnerability allowing remote, unauthenticated attackers to create arbitrary accounts and gain admin-level privileges. The flaw was first disclosed in October 2023, when it was

Something Comically Bad Just Happened to the Inventor of Ozempic

F1 in Canada: Well, that crash was bound to happen

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Île Notre-Dame in Montreal has long been home to the Canadian Grand Prix. The artificial island was originally built for Expo 67 but was later remodeled for the 1976 Olympics; a race track was then constructed out of the roads on the island in 1978. F1 has come and gone in the US and Mexico in that time, but Canada has been a near-constant, missing just 2009. Many of those races have been classics. 2007 saw Lewis Hamilton's first win, when he was a rookie wi

Nevertheless, there are many people who think Musk's attachment to Trump co

The Viral Storm Streamers Predicting Deadly Tornadoes—Sometimes Faster Than the Government

At 10:44 pm Eastern time on May 16, Ryan Hall spotted a blue square on his radar indicating debris flying into the air and realized a huge tornado was racing toward Somerset, Kentucky. “We’ve been watching this storm for a while, we’ve been hootin’ and hollerin’ for a while, hopefully the message has gotten out there and we know to be in our safe spots,” Hall warned his YouTube audience in a calm voice with a Southern twang. A silver robot with blue eyes popped onto the screen to tell Hall tha

Scientists spent 10 years on a superbug mystery - Google's AI solved it in 48 hours

What just happened? Researchers at Imperial College London say an artificial intelligence-based science tool created by Google needed just 48 hours to solve a problem that took them roughly a decade to answer and verify on their own. The tool in question is called "co-scientist" and the problem they presented it with was straightforward enough: why are some superbugs resistant to antibiotics? Professor José R Penadés told the BBC that Google's tool reached the same hypothesis that his team had

Microsoft’s Satya Nadella Pumps the Breaks on AI Hype

The world has yet to turn any of today’s AI hype and spending into a meaningful lift in the actual economy, says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. The comments were made during a podcast interview in which he put a measuring stick on AI’s true impact: Success will be measured through global economic growth rather than arbitrary benchmarks of how well AI programs can complete challenges like obscure math puzzles. Those are interesting in isolation but do not have practical utility. The comments seem
