Síndrome de Kessler: por que o lixo espacial ameaça nossa permanência no espaço?
Quando um pedaço de lixo espacial se aproximou da Estação Espacial Internacional em novembro, os sete astronautas a bordo se prepararam para o pior. Uma nave espacial russa acoplada à estação ativou seus motores por cinco minutos, alterando ligeiramente a trajetória da estação e movendo o laboratório do tamanho de um campo de futebol para fora da zona de perigo.
#technology #space #hivebr
Se a Estação Espacial não tivesse mudado de curso, os detritos poderiam ter passado a cerca de 4 quilômetros de sua órbita, segundo a Nasa.
O impacto de detritos na Estação poderia ter sido desastroso. Uma colisão poderia ter despressurizado segmentos da Estação e deixado os astronautas correndo para retornar à Terra. O mais preocupante: o potencial impacto não é um evento raro.
A Estação Espacial Internacional teve que fazer manobras semelhantes dezenas de vezes desde que foi ocupada pela primeira vez em novembro de 2000, e os riscos de colisão aumentam a cada ano conforme o número de objetos em órbita da Terra aumenta também.
Por anos, especialistas em tráfego espacial têm alertado sobre o aumento do congestionamento. Colisões anteriores, explosões e testes de armas resultaram em dezenas de milhares de pedaços de detritos que especialistas estão rastreando e possivelmente outros milhões que não podem ser vistos com a tecnologia atual. E embora os riscos para os astronautas sejam a preocupação principal, o congestionamento na órbita também é perigoso para satélites e tecnologias espaciais que alimentam nossa vida cotidiana — incluindo ferramentas GPS, bem como alguns serviços de banda larga, internet de alta velocidade e televisão.
SpaceX lidera a maior tentativa tripla de pouso na Lua em 2025: Um marco na exploração espacial
O que três diferentes módulos de pouso na Lua poderiam trazer para a ciência em um único mês? Janeiro de 2025 promete ser um marco para a exploração lunar, com a SpaceX liderando os lançamentos de três empresas distintas em busca de um feito histórico. Vamos explorar o que cada missão representa e como elas podem mudar o curso da exploração espacial.
#technology #space #spacex #hivebr
Nos últimos anos, a corrida espacial ganhou novos protagonistas: empresas privadas. A SpaceX, com seu foguete Falcon 9, tornou-se a escolha favorita para levar módulos de pouso à Lua, impulsionando a ambição de várias organizações em alcançar o satélite natural da Terra. Mas o que há de tão especial em 2025?
A NASA, buscando alternativas mais rápidas e econômicas, firmou parcerias com empresas como a Intuitive Machines e a Firefly Aerospace. Ambas têm missões cruciais planejadas para janeiro, além da japonesa i-space, que retorna após uma tentativa frustrada em 2024. Com tantos lançamentos em um único mês, os olhares estarão fixos no céu.
A Intuitive Machines tem grandes ambições para a missão IM-2. Seu objetivo principal? Encontrar gelo no Polo Sul lunar. Por que isso importa? O gelo é essencial para sustentar futuras missões humanas na Lua, fornecendo água, oxigênio e até combustível.

Elon Musk revela: Mais de 1 milhão de pessoas terão chips cerebrais nos próximos 5 anos, segundo a Neuralink
A Neuralink, empresa de Elon Musk, já realizou implantes cerebrais em humanos e promete revolucionar a cognição humana, permitindo controlar dispositivos com a mente e armazenar memórias; especialistas debatem os riscos éticos e sociais.
#technology #neuralink #hivebr #science
Controlar um computador apenas com seus pensamentos? Essa visão, que parece saída de um filme de ficção científica, pode se tornar realidade mais cedo do que você imagina. Elon Musk, o magnata por trás da Neuralink, acredita que, nos próximos cinco anos, mais de um milhão de pessoas terão chips cerebrais implantados. Mas será que estamos prontos para tamanha transformação?
A Neuralink é uma startup focada no desenvolvimento de interfaces cérebro-máquina. Essencialmente, os chips cerebrais funcionam como uma ponte entre o cérebro humano e dispositivos tecnológicos, permitindo a comunicação direta entre os dois. Em 2023, a empresa deu passos significativos, incluindo o sucesso dos primeiros implantes em humanos.
Elon Musk não economiza nas promessas. Segundo ele, os chips podem aumentar a velocidade de transmissão de sinais cerebrais em níveis jamais vistos, melhorando significativamente a cognição humana. Ele até sugere que, um dia, essas tecnologias podem “curar” condições como autismo e esquizofrenia – uma afirmação que gera debates acalorados na comunidade médica.
Além disso, Musk acredita que essas inovações podem transformar pessoas comuns em “super-humanos” digitais, com capacidades como armazenar e recuperar memórias instantaneamente. Imagine nunca mais esquecer onde deixou as chaves do carro ou aprender um idioma novo em questão de minutos.
Como o pequeno computador Jetson Orin Nano Super, da Nvidia, pode revolucionar acesso à IA
Jensen Huang, CEO da NVIDIA, apresentou no começo de dezembro de 2024 seu mais novo computador para Inteligência Artificial, o Jetson Orin™ Nano Super. Alguns chamam de supercomputador, até, mas seu mérito não está em capacidade de processamento. O Orin tem muito mais a oferecer e pode revolucionar o mercado. Como a NVIDIA já fez.
#technology #ai #nvidia
Para entender a importância do Orin, é preciso entender a posição da NVIDIA, antes vista como uma empresa voltada para gamers, e como ela conseguiu se tornar referência em Inteligência Artificial e chegar a um valor de mercado de US$ 3,34 trilhões, maior que o PIB do Brasil em 2023.
Inteligência Artificial é pura matemática. IA é apenas Álgebra Linear e Estatística aplicadas. Uma rede neural é formada por neurônios simples, que recebem uma informação, processam e retornam um valor numérico. Em um exemplo simples: Se eu colocar sensores nos quatro cantos de uma casa, do lado de fora, um sensor sozinho me diz se está claro ou escuro. Combinando os quatro, eu consigo descobrir se está de dia, de noite, amanhecendo ou anoitecendo.
Uma rede neural de uma IA como o ChatGPT possui bilhões de neurônios, representados por matrizes com milhares de dimensões. Processar esses dados exige muita capacidade de computação, mas são contas simples, apenas repetitivas. Os chips como os Ryzens e Intels são extremamente rápidos, mas não conseguem dividir tarefas em milhares de subtarefas de forma eficiente. Isso sempre foi problema em um campo bem popular: GAMES, e daí surgiram as GPUS.

Astronautas ‘perdidos no espaço’ passam festas de fim de ano na Estação Espacial Internacional
O retorno dos astronautas americanos Suni Williams, 58 anos, e Butch Wilmore, 62 anos, à Terra foi adiado até pelo menos o final de março, informou a Nasa, a Administração Nacional de Aeronáutica e Espaço dos Estados Unidos.
#technology #nasa #space
Com isso, a estadia dos profissionais na Estação Espacial Internacional, que deveria durar oito dias, pode completar mais de nove meses.
A dupla viajou em junho para uma missão teste, mas seu retorno foi adiado após a cápsula Boeing Starliner, na qual chegaram, ter sido considerada inadequada para a trajetória de volta.
A Nasa informou que Susi e Wilmore, além do astronauta Nick Hague e do russo Aleksandr Gorbunov, retornariam ao planeta depois que a missão Crew-10, que conta com mais quatro integrantes, fosse concluída.

Pichai's comments come after a year packed with some of the most intense pressure Google has experienced since going public two decades ago. While areas like search ads and cloud produced strong revenue growth, competition picked up in Google's core markets, and the company faced internal challenges including culture clashes and concerns about Pichai's vision for the future.
Additionally, regulation is now heavier than ever.
!summarize #catl #ev
In August, a federal judge ruled that Google illegally holds a monopoly in the search market. The Justice Department in November asked that Google be forced to divest its Chrome internet browser unit. In a separate case, the DOJ accused the company of illegally dominating online ad technology. That trial closed in September and awaits a judge ruling.
That same month, Britain's competition watchdog issued a statement of objections over Google's ad tech practices, which the regulator provisionally found are impacting competition in the U.K.
!summarize #solidstate #hyundai #ev
"It's not lost on me that we are facing scrutiny across the world," Pichai said. "It comes with our size and success. It's part of a broader trend where tech is now impacting society at scale. So more than ever, through this moment, we have to make sure we don't get distracted."
Google's search business still has dominant market share, but generative AI has served up all sorts of new ways for people to access online information, and has brought with it a host of new competitors.
!summarize #corbinburnes #mlb #sports #arizona #diamondbacks
OpenAI's ChatGPT kicked off the hype cycle in late 2022, and investors including Microsoft have since propelled the company to a $157 billion valuation. In July, OpenAI announced it would launch a search engine of its own. Perplexity is also promoting its AI-powered search service and recently closed a $500 million funding round at a $9 billion valuation.
Google is investing heavily to try and stay on top, principally through Gemini, its AI model. The Gemini app gives users access to a number of tools, including Google's chatbot.
Pichai said "building big, new business" is a top priority. That includes the Gemini app, which executives said they see as Google's next app to reach half a billion users. The company currently has 15 apps that have hit that mark.
"With the Gemini app, there is strong momentum, particularly over the last few months," Pichai said. "But we have some work to do in 2025 to close the gap and establish a leadership position there as well."
!summarize #nfl #cincinnati #bengals
"Scaling Gemini on the consumer side will be our biggest focus next year," Pichai later added.
'Don't always have to be first'
At the meeting, Pichai showed a chart of large language models, with Gemini 1.5 leading OpenAI's GPT and other competitors.
"I expect some back and forth" in 2025, Pichai said. "I think we'll be state of the art."
He acknowledged that Google has had to play catchup.
!summarize #economy #documentary
"In history, you don't always need to be first but you have to execute well and really be the best in class as a product," he said. "I think that's what 2025 is all about."
Executives took questions that were submitted by employees through Google's internal system. One comment read aloud by Pichai suggested that ChatGPT "is becoming synonymous to AI the same way Google is to search," with the questioner asking, "What's our plan to combat this in the upcoming year? Or are we not focusing as much on consumer facing LLM?"
bought a model 3 a week ago and it came with fsd 13 trial. Tried it out for the first time yesterday and it is amazing . At one point in the first drive we needed to get across three rows of tragic to make a right turn there was too much traffic to do so. and navigation said turn the opposite left and I just went with the fsd and it took us around the back of a few businesses and office buildings on streets I never knew were there and delivered us to our intended destination. Very smart moves.
For the answer, Pichai turned to DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis, who said that teams are going to "turbo charge" the Gemini app and that the company has seen progress in the number of users since launching the app in February. He said "the products themselves are going to evolve massively over the next year or two."
Hassabis described a vision for a universal assistant that "can seamlessly operate over any domain, any modality or any device."
!summarize #netflix #streaming #entertainment
Project Astra, Google's experimental version of a universal assistant that the company announced in May, will be updated in the first half of the year.
Another employee question asked whether Google will be able to get AI products to scale without charging $200 a month "like other companies."
"Right now, we don't have any plans for this kind of subscription level," Hassabis responded, adding that he thinks the $20 monthly charge for Gemini advanced is a good value. "I wouldn't necessarily say never but there are no plans for that at the moment."
Toward the end of the meeting, Google welcomed to the stage Josh Woodward, the head of Google Labs. He took the microphone as the Zombie Nation song "Kernkraft 400" played loudly in the background.
"I'm going to try to do six demos in eight minutes," said Woodward, who's known for his high level of energy.
!summarize #petertheil #billionaires #economy
Woodward started by showing off Jules, a coding assistant that's in a trusted tester's program. He said, "It's where the future of software development is headed."
Woodward then shifted to AI notetaking product NotebookLM, which featured a series of updates in 2024, including a podcasting tool. Woodward demonstrated how the company is trying a new feature that allows the user to "call in" to a podcast.
He then moved onto Project Mariner, an AI-powered multi-tasking Chrome extension. Woodward asked it to add the top restaurants from Tripadvisor to the Maps app. After a brief pause, the demo successfully worked, leading employees in attendance to erupt in applause.
!summarize #wikipedia #facts #conservative
Throughout the meeting, Pichai kept reminding employees of the need to "stay scrappy." Google has gone through an extensive phase of cost cutting that included eliminating about 6% of its workforce in 2023 and a continued focus on efficiency.
As of the end of the third quarter, Alphabet had 181,269 employees, down about 5% from the end of 2022.
At one point, Pichai referenced Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who started the company 26 years ago, long before cloud computing or AI tools existed.

Nasty Norovirus Back in Full Force
Cases of a wretched stomach bug are surging in parts of the United States this winter, according to government data.
Cases of a wretched stomach bug are surging in parts of the United States this winter, according to government data.
The most recent numbers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show there were 91 outbreaks of norovirus reported during the week of Dec. 5, up from 69 outbreaks the last week of November.
Numbers from the past few years show a maximum of 65 outbreaks reported during that first week of December.
#norovirus #health #virus
A norovirus infection is characterized by sudden vomiting and diarrhea. Outbreaks are often seen on cruise ships, in congregate living situations like nursing homes and jails, as well as schools and places where people are close together.
Here are a few things to know about the virus.
Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States, responsible for 58% of such infections acquired in the country each year, according to the CDC.
Norovirus infections are caused by a group of viruses that spread easily, with as few as 10 viral particles having the ability to make someone sick, health experts say.
!summrize #temu #unitedstates #government #china
There are about 2,500 norovirus outbreaks reported annually in the United States. The outbreaks can occur throughout the year but are most common from November to April.
Along with with vomiting and diarrhea, common symptoms include nausea, stomach pain, body ache, headache and fever.
Most norovirus outbreaks occur when people who are already infected spread the virus to others by direct means, such as through sharing food or eating utensils. Outbreaks can also be spread through food, water or contaminated surfaces .
Illness caused by norovirus typically starts suddenly, with symptoms developing 12 to 48 hours following exposure to the virus. Most people get better within one to three days and recover fully.
"In early Google days, you look at how the founders built our data centers, they were really really scrappy in every decision they made," Pichai said. "Often, constraints lead to creativity. Not all problems are always solved by headcount."
But with 19 to 21 million illnesses each year in the United States, norovirus nevertheless causes on average 900 deaths and 109,000 hospitalizations annually, mostly among adults aged 65 and older. It also leads to 465,000 emergency department visits, mostly involving young children.
People of all ages can get infected and fall sick from norovirus. Young children, older people and those with weakened immune systems are most at risk, with dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea the top concern.
There is no medication to treat norovirus. Rehydration is recommended by drinking water and other liquids, with the exception of coffee, tea and alcohol.
!summarize #cvs #pharmacy #retail
Anyone suffering from dehydration should seek medical help. Symptoms of dehydration include a decrease in urination, dry mouth and throat, and feeling dizzy when standing. Dehydrated children may be unusually sleepy or fussy and cry with few or no tears.
Rigorous and frequent handwashing is the best defense against norovirus during the peak winter season, scrubbing the hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds before meals.
Scrubbing surfaces with household disinfectants can also help.
The law’s supporters have claimed TikTok presents a national security threat because the Chinese government could use it to collect data and push propaganda to US viewers. While Trump attempted to ban TikTok during his first term as president, he has expressed support for the app more recently. During his presidential campaign, he posted on Truth Social, “FOR ALL OF THOSE THAT WANT TO SAVE TIK TOK IN AMERICA, VOTE TRUMP!”
Several civil liberties and free speech groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union and Electronic Frontier, have filed their own brief supporting TikTok’s appeal and arguing that “the government has not presented credible evidence of ongoing or imminent harm caused by TikTok.”
Senate Intelligence Panel Criticizes CIA Response to Havana Syndrome
The CIA's response to so-called Havana syndrome health problems among its workforce, saying many individuals faced obstacles to timely and sufficient care, reported a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee.
A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report published on Friday criticized the CIA's response to so-called Havana syndrome health problems among its workforce, saying many individuals "faced obstacles to timely and sufficient care."
A declassified summary of the panel's classified report also said the spy agency's response "negatively affected" those who reported symptoms, leading to a "trust deficit" among some personnel.

China's defense ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The U.S. Department of Defense said it was "aware of the reports" but said it did not have additional comment beyond what was included in its annual report on the Chinese military this month.
The United States is years into its Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, which is developing a sixth-generation fighter aircraft, but it is not clear what form the effort will take under President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration.
Europe and Asia are collaborating on a separate next-generation aircraft under the Global Combat Air Programme, and recently announced a joint British-Japanese company.
Yep, I created 2 businesses accounts. One just disappeared after we sent in 100 used books. They said we don’t exist. The first business, Amazon stopped me from sending in books. One day I was making 5K profit per month, then sorry. Your business is shut down because a customer said a used book was fake. I purchased the book from my county Library. No way to appeal or talk to anyone. Crazy. Glad I found something better to do. Amazon turned out to be a joke for me.
I am a reseller of Amazon products that are liquidated from the warehouse. I buy pallet loads of stuff, mainly automotive and industrial items. I get lots of bulk items of the same product and noticed what seems to be common in their warehouse is barcoding the items wrong. They cover up manufacture barcodes with their own so they can scan and track items easily, but what if they barcoded the all of a certain product wrong? Well I'll tell you, once they notice they just pull it and send it to liquidation. I have literally purchased truckloads of stuff that was inventoried wrong in their system, I can't imagine what the 3rd party seller feels as I pay less that 5 cents on the dollar for them.

Reuters confirmed a video showing the larger of the two new Chinese aircraft flying over Chengdu by matching nearby buildings, signage, logos and trees to satellite imagery and file images. The date could not be verified independently.
The Chinese aircraft in the online images are not the first modern tailless designs. The Northrop Grumman B-2 and B-21 stealth bombers are both flying wings, and several uncrewed aircraft, such as the Lockheed Martin RQ-170 and China's CH-7, lack tails.
Neither Chinese jet has an official designation that has been made public. Although the designs are novel relative to the rest of China's fleet, it is not possible to tell how stealthy they are, how maneuverable or fast they are, or what sort of "under the hood" avionics they carry - the sorts of detail needed to determine whether they are truly "next-generation" designs, five defense experts said.
!summarize #trump #tariff #panamacanal #china
Peter Layton, a defense and aviation expert at the Griffith Asia Institute in Australia, noted it was difficult in general to apply labels such as fifth-generation - which includes current stealth jets such as the F-22 and F-35 - to Chinese aircraft, which often include unique design features that never appear again.
China's J-20 and J-35 also have stealthy characteristics but their capabilities are not publicly known and only the J-20 is in service.
The United States has been pouring resources into advanced missiles and other systems to deter China in the Indo-Pacific region. It recently tested a missile interception system on the strategically crucial island of Guam using an advanced radar.
China's daytime flights of the new designs over cities where they could be easily seen was "curious," said Kelly Grieco, a senior fellow at the U.S.-based Stimson Center.
She said it might be easier for China to match pace with the United States on aircraft rather than uncrewed vehicles and missiles.
"As the Pentagon is actively debating the future of NGAD ... it is hard not to wonder if this is Beijing's attempt to influence that debate," she added.
Separately on Friday, Chinese state media outlet Xinhua reported the People's Liberation Army Navy had launched its newest amphibious assault ship.
“Furthermore, combining massage techniques, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of several typical massage methods from the kinematic and dynamic perspectives, designs corresponding mechanical massage hands, and uses robotic technology to replicate and automate these traditional techniques.”
To develop their new masseuse robot, the team first had to observe and collect data from expert TCM massage therapists. This was done using a combination of motion capture and pressure sensors.
This data was then used to train a machine-learning algorithm that would ultimately form the basis of the “brain” of the new robot.
Yet to be tested on people
“Through the introduction of these technologies, this paper provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the robotic implementation of massage techniques, promoting the integration of traditional Chinese massage with modern robotics and opening up new application prospects for assistive therapeutic methods,” explained Xu, Huang, and their colleagues.
The team also tested their robot design in the real world to assess its ability to replicate different TCM massage techniques accurately. The results confirmed that the robot effectively performed its four primary massage techniques.
The team hopes to test the robot on human users to assess its ability further and gauge how humans respond to it. They hope that this study will encourage further research into automated massage systems, potentially encompassing other massage styles as well.

China Sanctions Military Firms, Execs Over US Arms Sales to Taiwan
China has sanctioned seven military industrial companies and senior executives in response to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.
Boeing subsidiary Insitu Inc., RTX Inc.'s Raytheon Canada and Raytheon Australia, as well as Hudson Technologies Co. are among the companies listed by the ministry in a statement.
The U.S. recently approved $571.3 million in defense support for Taiwan, after giving the go-ahead to arms sales worth an estimated $385 million.

China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control. Taiwan strongly objects to China's sovereignty claims and says only the island's people can decide their future.
The U.S. is bound by law to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself, despite the lack of formal diplomatic ties between Washington and Taipei.
The sanctions will freeze the companies and executives' assets in China and ban organizations and individuals in China from trading or collaborating with them, the ministry said.
The U.S. move "seriously undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity," a ministry spokesperson said in a regular press briefing on Friday.
On the customer side, I have noticed package tracking has all but disappeared.

Or It is left in the vestibule of the apartment building at 4:00 am with a zoomed image of just the package so I can't tell where in the building it is left. by the time I go down to the vestibule, it has been stolen by another tenant or a transient and sold for crack by 4:15am according to our community security team.

“Lively’s shotgun would inject into the reactor a spray of millimeter-wide tungsten particles to intercept the runaway electrons,” explained LANL.
Notably, tungsten, chosen for its exceptional strength and high melting point, is already a key component in reactor wall construction.
Promising results
Extensive simulations conducted by Lively have shown the efficacy of the tungsten shotgun approach. The injected tungsten particles effectively collide with runaway electrons, absorbing their energy and deflecting them from their destructive trajectories.
Results indicate that the runaway electron beam is neutralized almost instantaneously upon contact with the tungsten particles.
“The tungsten absorbs 8 percent of the runaway electrons, while the remaining 92 percent is bounced or scattered out of orbit and beyond the risk of damaging the reactor,” asserted the LANL.
Moreover, the simulations reveal that the tungsten particles remain within the reactor for a significantly longer time than the runaway electrons.
“Lively found that runaways tend to orbit the reactor for just 130 nanoseconds while the tungsten particles have a lifespan of 100,000 nanoseconds,” remarked the press release.
This means a single injection of tungsten particles could provide prolonged protection against multiple runaway electron events, enhancing the efficiency and practicality of this approach.
South Korean Plane Crash Kills 179, Leaves Two Survivors
The Yonhap news agency reported Sunday that an aircraft drove off the runway, crashed into a wall and exploded at Muan International Airport in South Korea, with all but two crew of the 181 on board presumed to have died in the explosion.
A Jeju Air plane carrying 181 people from Thailand to South Korea crashed on arrival Sunday, smashing into a barrier and bursting into flames, killing everyone aboard except for two flight attendants plucked from the wreckage.
A bird strike was cited by authorities as the likely cause of the crash -- the worst ever aviation disaster on South Korean soil -- which flung passengers out of the plane and left it "almost completely destroyed", according to fire officials.

Video showed the Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 landing on its belly at Muan International Airport, skidding off the runway as smoke streamed out from the engines, before crashing into a wall and exploding in flames.
"Of the 179 dead, 65 have been identified," the country's fire agency said, adding that DNA retrieval had begun.
Inside the airport terminal, tearful family members gathered to wait for news.
An official began calling out the names of the 65 victims who had been identified, with each name triggering fresh cries of grief from waiting relatives.
Only two people -- both flight attendants -- were rescued from the crash, the fire department said.

"Passengers were ejected from the aircraft after it collided with the wall, leaving little chance of survival," a local fire official told families at a briefing, according to a statement released by the fire brigade.
"The plane is almost completely destroyed," he was quoted as saying.
Both black boxes -- the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder -- have been found, deputy transport minister Joo Jong-wan said at a briefing.
Under floodlights, rescue workers used a giant yellow crane to lift the burned-out fuselage of the orange-and-white aircraft on the runway at Muan -- some 288 kilometres (about 180 miles) southwest of Seoul.
Protecting fusion reactors
The next phase of this research involves testing the tungsten particle injection method in experimental fusion reactors.
If these tests confirm the simulation results, this technology could be integrated into future fusion reactor designs, paving the way for a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
“We should be able to protect nuclear fusion reactors from loss of plasma control without component damage or downtime for expensive repairs. And we can do so with little to no economic impact,” concluded Lively.
Bits of plane seats and luggage were strewn across the field next to the runway, not far from the charred tail, offering a glimpse into the catastrophic impact of the crash.
All of the passengers were Korean apart from two Thais, with the youngest a three-year-old boy and the oldest a 78-year-old, authorities said.
"I had a son on board that plane," an elderly man waiting in the airport lounge, who asked not to be named, told AFP.
"My younger sister went to heaven today," a 65-year-old woman, who gave only her surname Jo, told AFP.
The accident took place in a matter of minutes as Jeju Air Flight 2216 tried to land -- with the control tower issuing a warning of a bird strike, and the pilot soon after calling "mayday".
"It took approximately three minutes from the control tower's mention of a bird strike warning to the aircraft's attempt to land on the runway again," an official said.
Video shows the plane coming off the tarmac and hitting a wall, but officials dismissed speculation that the length of the runway was a factor in the crash.
Lee Jeong-hyun, chief of Muan fire station, said the cause was "presumed to be a bird strike" but that the exact details would be announced after a full investigation.

Low-cost carrier Jeju Air said it "sincerely" apologised -- with top officials shown bowing deeply at a press conference in Seoul -- and vowed to do all it could to help.
Boeing said in a statement that it was in touch with Jeju Air and stood "ready to support them".
South Korea's acting President Choi Sang-mok, who only took office Friday, convened an emergency cabinet meeting and then visited the crash site at Muan.
"The entire government is working closely together to manage the aftermath of the accident... making every effort to ensure thorough support for the bereaved families," he said.
I was astonished recently when my partner discovered that for some goods , she is charged more as a Prime member than someone who is not! She found out by accident when ordering something our son found on his (Non Prime) account but when she went to buy it, the identical article / seller etc was over 40% more for her.Having contacted them they initially told her thaty it was a technical glitch but further investigation revealed that this happens frequently.What a way to treat someone who has paid extrafor special services/ treatment.Appalling and then to lie about it???? It makes sense then that sellers will obviously be treated in an offhand manner - it's an ethos....
It's much tougher now to create and sell your own products online. In the past, when Google was more fair with its search results, you could work hard to make a good website and get good visibility on search engines. But that's not the case anymore. Even if your product is the best match for a search, you’ll be lucky to appear in the top 10 pages of results. Good visibility is really hard to achieve because big companies spend tons of money on ads for search terms, and often the links you see are not relevant to what you're looking for. I can't imagine how bad it is when you lose total control of your product advertising and delivery.
The country declared a seven day national mourning period effective from Sunday, with memorial altars to be set up nationwide.
It is the first fatal accident in the history of Jeju Air, one of South Korea's largest low-cost carriers, which was set up in 2005.
On August 12, 2007, a Bombardier Q400 operated by Jeju Air carrying 74 passengers came off the runway due to strong winds at the southern Busan-Gimhae airport, resulting in a dozen injuries.
South Korea's aviation industry has a solid track record for safety, experts say.
A number of fatal aviation accidents have occurred globally due to bird strikes, which can cause a loss of power if the animals are sucked into the air intakes.
In 2009, a US Airways Airbus A320 famously landed in New York's Hudson River after bird strikes on both of its engines, in an incident widely known as the "Miracle on the Hudson" because there was no loss of life.

Same story happened on Ebay years ago. Slowly fees went up and new fees for some services that simply weren't needed. I was never a big seller on Ebay but stopped years ago. I do have some items I want to sell but only those with a high margin and also ones that tend to be small so that shipping isn't so much of a pain. I don't like buying from Temu and AliExpress but I find they often have the same item for less and for low coast items - many items that are not on Amazon as Amazon sellers could never make money on such low margin products. This Christmas I did tend to move directly to companies who made their own products and shipped them directly. That feels so much better for everyone.
Paxton: Judge Orders Biden WH to Stop Selling Border Wall Materials
A federal judge has ordered the Biden administration to stop selling border wall materials, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Friday.
A federal judge has ordered the Biden administration to stop selling border wall materials, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Friday.
"We have successfully blocked the Biden Administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office," Paxton said in a statement.
“This follows our major victory forcing Biden to build the wall, and we will hold his Administration accountable for illegally subverting our Nation’s border security until their very last day in power, especially where their actions are clearly motivated by a desire to thwart President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda,” he added.
#borderwall #biden #judge #nationalsecurity #trump
Trump last week filed an amicus brief in the Southern District of Texas to stop the Biden administration's "fire sales" of border-wall materials to private parties.
Congress last year required the Biden administration to dispose of the unused border wall pieces. The measure, included in the massive National Defense Authorization Act, allows for the sale or donation of the items to states on the southern border, providing they are used to refurbish existing barriers, not install new ones.
Trump called the sale "almost a criminal act."
“They know we're going to use it, and if we don't have it, we're going to have to rebuild it, and it'll cost double what it cost years ago, and that's hundreds of millions of dollars because you're talking about a lot of, a lot of wall."
Amazon knocking off successful products from their sellers, then advertising on the SAME page at a discount is deceptive and in my mind amounts to stealing.
It is a stab in the back and shows you dealing with them is a NO NO.

Russia Will Abandon Its Unilateral Missile Moratorium, Lavrov Says
RUSSIA-USA/TREATY (UPDATE 1):UPDATE 1-Russia will abandon its unilateral missile moratorium, Lavrov says
Russia will scrap a moratorium on the deployment of intermediate and shorter range nuclear-capable missiles because the United States has deployed such weapons in various regions around the world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Sunday.
Russia's move, long signaled, will kill off all that remains from one of the most significant arms control treaties of the Cold War, amid fears that the world's two biggest nuclear powers could be entering a new arms race together with China.
#russia #missle #longrange #nuclear #war
Russia and the United States, who both admit their relations are worse than at any time since the depths of the Cold War, have both expressed regret about the disintegration of the tangle of arms control treaties which sought to slow the arms race and reduce the risk of nuclear war.
Asked by state news agency RIA if Russia could withdraw from the New START treaty before its expiry in February 2026, Lavrov said that there were currently "no conditions" for a strategic dialog with Washington.
"Today it is clear that, for example, our moratorium on the deployment of short- and intermediate-range missiles is no longer practically viable and will have to be abandoned," Lavrov said.
!summarize #business #wealth #business #entrepreneur
"The U.S. has arrogantly ignored the warnings of Russia and China and in practice has moved on to the deployment of weapons of this class in various regions of the world."
The Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in 1987, marked the first time the superpowers had agreed to reduce their nuclear arsenals and eliminated a whole category of nuclear weapons.
The United States under former President Donald Trump formally withdrew from the INF Treaty in 2019 after saying that Moscow was violating the accord, an accusation the Kremlin repeatedly denied and dismissed as a pretext.
!summarize #amazon #corruption #ecommerce #union
Russia then imposed a moratorium on its own development of missiles previously banned by the INF treaty - ground-based ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges of 500 km to 5,500 km (310 miles to 3,417 miles).
Trump in 2018 said he wanted to terminate the INF Treaty because of what he said were years of Russian violations and his concerns about China’s intermediate-range missile arsenal.
The United States publicly blamed Russia's development of the 9M729 ground-launched cruise missile, known in NATO as the SSC-8, as the reason for it leaving the INF Treaty.
In his moratorium proposal, Putin suggested Russia could agree not to deploy the missiles in its Baltic coast exclave of Kaliningrad. Since leaving the pact, the United States has tested missiles with a similar profile.

Russia fired a new intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile known as "Oreshnik," or Hazel Tree, at Ukraine on Nov. 21 in what Putin said was a direct response to strikes on Russia by Ukrainian forces with U.S. and British missiles.

Trump Questions Democrats' Paid Celebrity Endorsements
President-elect Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to question the legality of Democrats allegedly paying millions for celebrity endorsements during the recent campaign, sparking debate over campaign finance practices.
President-elect Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to question the legality of Democrats allegedly paying millions for celebrity endorsements during the recent campaign, sparking debate over campaign finance practices.
The president-elect has raised concerns over alleged financial practices within the Democratic Party, accusing them of paying exorbitant sums for celebrity endorsements during the recent election. Posting on Truth Social, Trump questioned the legality of these payments and highlighted high-profile figures like Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Reverend Al Sharpton.
#election #kamelaharris
"Are the Democrats allowed to pay $11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al? I don't think so! Beyoncé didn't sing, Oprah didn't do much of anything (she called it 'expenses'), and Al is just a third rate Con Man. So what is going on here??? Totally against the law, and I have heard there are many others!!!" Trump wrote.
Trump's claims follow a New York Times report illuminating the Harris campaign's financial practices. The report revealed significant spending on celebrity-filled events, including a $1 million payment to Oprah Winfrey's production company. Meanwhile, campaign staff in key cities like Philadelphia faced stark resource disparities.
!summarize #ecommerce #wesbite #business #wealth
The Times noted that while suburban offices were well-stocked, field offices in Philadelphia "were filthy and lacked basic supplies like tables, chairs, cleaning products, and printers," according to staff members. City organizers reportedly had to scavenge supplies from better-funded suburban offices or raise money independently to cover necessities.
The Harris campaign, which raised over $1 billion — a record for the most money collected in a single quarter — was criticized for its spending priorities. Despite the monumental fundraising effort, insiders reported that much of the money was mismanaged. "A lot of people appear to have lined their pockets, while Harris neglected to fund some of the core pieces of a solid organizing apparatus," an insider stated.
By Election Day, the Harris campaign had burned through nearly all its funds, leaving little to sustain field operations in critical battlegrounds. These revelations have intensified scrutiny of the campaign's financial decisions, mainly focusing on star-studded events rather than grassroots efforts.
While there is no immediate evidence of wrongdoing, the controversy has brought renewed attention to how political campaigns allocate resources and the legal implications of high-profile endorsements.

10 Tips to Improve Your Finances in 2025
10 Tips from Experts to Help You Change Your Relationship with Money in 2025
With the end of 2024 around the corner, you might be reflecting on financial goals for 2025.
Whether you're saving to move out of your parents' house or pay off student loan debt, financial resolutions can help you stay motivated, said Courtney Alev, consumer advocate for Credit Karma.
“Entering a new year doesn’t erase all our financial challenges from the prior year," Alev said. “But it can really help to bring a fresh-start mentality to how you’re managing your finances.”
#finance #2025 #money #investing
1.) Think about how you currently deal with finances — what's good, what's bad, and what can improve.
“Let this be the year you change your relationship with money,” said Ashley Lapato, personal finance educator for YNAB, a budgeting app.
If you feel like money is a chore, that there's shame surrounding the topic of money, or like you were born being “bad at money,” it's time to change that mentality, Lapato said.
To adjust your approach, Lapato recommends viewing money goals as an opportunity to imagine your desired lifestyle in the future. She recommends asking questions like, “What do my 30s look like? What do my 40s look like?” and using money as a means to get there.
!summarize #degree #education #college #jobs
2.) When setting your financial resolutions for 2025, it's important to establish the “why” of each, said Matt Watson, CEO of Origin, a financial tracking app.
“If you can attach the financial goal to a bigger life goal, it’s much more motivating and more likely you’ll continue on that path,” Watson said.
Whether you're saving to buy a house, pay off credit card debt or take a summer vacation, being clear about the goal can keep you motivated. Watson also recommends using a tool to help you keep track of your finances, such as an app, spreadsheet, or website.
!summarize #politics #cenkuygur #liberal #employees
3.) Start a careful budget by tracking and categorizing all of your expenses.
“After three years of inflation, your pay increases are likely still playing catch up to your monthly expenses, leaving you wondering where all the money is going," said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate. "Make that monthly budget for 2025 and resolve to track your spending against it throughout the year."
McBride said that you may need to make adjustments during the year as certain expenses increase, which would require cutting back in other areas.
“Calibrate your spending with your income, and any month you spend less than budgeted, transfer the difference into your savings account, ideally a high-yield savings account,” he said.
4.) Pay down debt.
“Interest rates aren’t likely to come down very fast, so you’re still going to have to put in the hard work of paying down debt, especially high-cost credit card debt, and do so with urgency,” McBride said.
Start by taking stock of how much debt you have now relative to the beginning of the year. Hopefully you’ve made steady progress on paying it down, but, if you’ve gone in the other direction, McBride encourages making a game plan. That includes looking into 0% balance transfer offers.
“You have more power over credit card interest rates than you think you do," said Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree. “Wielding that power is one of the best moves you can make in 2025.”
A 0% balance transfer credit card is “a good weapon” in the fight against high card APRs, or annual percentage rates, he said. A low-interest personal loan is an option as well.
You may simply be able to pick up the phone and ask for a lower interest rate. LendingTree found that a majority of people who did that in 2024 were successful, and the average reduction was more than 6 points.
5.) Set realistic goals.
When planning for your financial resolutions, it’s important to consider how you’re going to make your goals sustainable for your lifestyle, said Credit Karma's Alev.
“It really is a marathon, not a sprint,” Alev said.
Alev recommends setting realistic, practical goals to make it easier to stick with them. For example, instead of planning to save thousands of dollars by the end of the year, start by saving $20 a paycheck.
Even when your plans are achievable, there are times you'll get derailed. Maybe it’s an unexpected medical bill or an extraordinary life event. When these situations happen, Alev recommends trying not to feel defeated and working to get back on track without feeling guilty.
!summarize #chatgpt #canvas #ai
6.) Check your credit score.
“You can't manage what you can't see, so set a New Year’s resolution to check your credit score monthly in 2025," said Rikard Bandebo, chief economist at VantageScore. “Be sure to pay more than the minimum on your credit accounts, as that's one of the best ways to boost your credit score.”
Bandebo also advises student loan borrowers to make all payments on time, as servicers will begin to report late payments starting in January, and missed payments will affect borrowers' credit scores.
7.) Make savings easy via "set it and forget it."
Automated changes, like increasing workplace 401(k) plan contributions, setting up direct deposits from paychecks into dedicated savings accounts, and arranging for monthly transfers into an IRA and/or 529 college savings accounts all add up quickly, McBride said.
It is critical to save for retirement. Consider that the median retirement savings in the U.S. is a mere $87,000 per household, according to The Motley Fool.
8.) Beware of scams.
Your financial goals can encompass more than just managing your money better — they can also be about keeping your money safe from scams. A golden rule to protect yourself from scams is to “slow down,” said Johan Gerber, executive vice president of security solutions at Mastercard.
“You have to slow down and talk to other people if you’re not sure (whether or not) it’s scam,” said Gerber, who recommends building an accountability system with family to keep yourself and your loved ones secure.
Scammers use urgency to make people fall for their tricks, so taking your time to make any financial decision can keep you from losing money.

9.) Take care of your financial well-being.
Your financial goals don’t always have to be rooted in a dollar amount — they can also be about well-being. Finances are deeply connected with our mental health, and, to take care of our money, we also need to take care of ourselves.
“I think that now more than any other year, your financial wellness should be a resolution," said Alejandra Rojas, personal finance expert and founder of The Money Mindset Hub, a mentoring platform for women entrepreneurs. "Your mental health with money should be a resolution.”
10.) Talk candidly about money with the important people in your life, to relieve stress and potentially set a mutual goal to improve your household's bottom line.
To focus on your financial wellness, you can set one or two goals focusing on your relationship with money. For example, you could find ways to address and resolve financial trauma, or you could set a goal to talk more openly with loved ones about money, Rojas said.

Charles Dolan, HBO and Cablevision Founder, Dies at 98
Charles F. Dolan, who founded some of the most prominent U.S. media companies including Home Box Office Inc. and Cablevision Systems Corp., has died at age 98, according to a news report.
A statement issued Saturday by his family said Dolan died of natural causes, Newsday reported late Saturday.
“It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved father and patriarch, Charles Dolan, the visionary founder of HBO and Cablevision,” the statement said.
#death #hbo #cablevision #entertainment #cable
Dolan's legacy in cable broadcasting includes the 1972 launch of Home Box Office, later known as HBO, and founding Cablevision in 1973 and the American Movie Classics television station in 1984. He also launched News 12 in New York City, the first 24-hour cable channel for local news in the U.S., Newsday reported.
The Cleveland native, who dropped out of John Carroll University in suburban Cleveland, completed the sale of Cablevision to Altice, a European telecommunications and cable company, for $17.7 billion in June 2016.
Dolan, whose primary home was in Cove Neck Village on Long Island in New York, also held controlling stakes in companies that owned Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers, Newsday reported.
!summarize #prop36 #kerncounty #crime #theft
James L. Dolan, one of his sons, was the Cablevision CEO from 1995 until the 2016 sale to Altice. He now is the executive chairman and CEO of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. The company owns the Knicks and Rangers franchises, among other properties, according to the MSG Sports website.
Newsday, which Cablevision purchased in 2008, also came under the control of Altice with the sale. Patrick Dolan, another son of Charles Dolan, led a group that repurchased 75% of Newsday Media Group in July 2016. Patrick Dolan then purchased the remaining 25% stake in 2018.
At the time of his death, Charles Dolan and his family had a net worth of $5.4 billion, Forbes reported.

“Their introduction highlights the potential of automation and electrification in mining. This will enable New Afton’s operations to enhance cycle times and reduce heat, noise, and greenhouse gas emissions at Canada’s only block cave mine,” the company noted.
Such developments show that electric equipment is fully capable of moving dirt and extracting materials from the ground. Meanwhile, the increasing demand for nickel, lithium, and phosphates, along with the natural advantages of electrification, is driving the adoption of electric mining machines.
Additionally, a persistent shortage of operators is further fueling the demand for autonomous technology in these machines.
Electric and hydrogen options gaining traction in mining
The factors mentioned are quickly making existing machines obsolete, Electrek writes.
While some companies are exploring converting their current vehicles to electric or hydrogen power, the prevailing trend is towards more frequent purchases of new equipment in the coming years.
Over time, a growing proportion of this new equipment will likely be autonomous.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that mineral demand from electric vehicles (EVs) will grow 30 times between 2020 and 2040. Demand for lithium and nickel is expected to increase by 40 times, while diesel demand is falling faster than anticipated, reaching a 26-year low last quarter.
The remote locations of mines and the repetitive nature of the work also make automation a logical solution. Furthermore, the labor shortage, along with stricter safety regulations and the growing risk of costly lawsuits from workplace injuries, is driving the need for more automation in the mining sector.

China battery makers will undoubtedly offer stiff competition to Tesla in the next couple of years. Tesla's advantages however are: early adoption and software. Also, a multi-million dollar battery storage facility has a long lead time, so the more Tesla can seal deals right now, the longer they'll be able to milk this market before the cut-rate competition starts eating into profits.

Ford like so many Auto makers thought High prices big profits unfortunately they forgot that when you have gained the 15& of the initial buyers who can afford the high price and like tech The next 60% are going to be a hard sell. Ford always known as a midstream car and commercial maker tried to move up market where the likes of Mercedes and BMW live (and they are struggling to sell high priced vehicles) so Ford are doomed. Foreign made cars need very high tariffs to make them realistically priced the Chinese are dumping their cheap cars this needs to stop but I think Ford will be gone in 5 years.

China’s Military Growth: DOD’s Wake-Up Call!
The 2024 DOD report highlights China’s rapid military advancements, including expanding its nuclear arsenal to over 600 warheads and projecting over 1,000 by 2030. The PLAN, now the world’s largest navy with 370 ships, gains strategic reach with JL-3 missiles capable of striking the U.S. Despite internal corruption challenges, China’s modernization progress raises global security concerns.
#china #military #dod
The 2024 U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) report on China’s military power paints a startling picture of Beijing’s growing capabilities and its bold challenge to U.S. global dominance. According to the report, China has made rapid advancements in its nuclear arsenal, increasing its operational warheads from 500 to over 600 in just one year, with projections surpassing 1,000 by 2030. This alarming expansion marks a clear effort to enhance its strategic deterrence and global influence.
China’s naval growth is equally striking. The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) now boasts a fleet of over 370 ships and submarines, cementing its position as the largest navy in the world by fleet size. Compounding this is the deployment of the JL-3 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), which grants Chinese submarines the ability to strike the U.S. mainland from distant waters, a capability that fundamentally shifts the balance of power.
However, the report also highlights vulnerabilities within China’s military modernization efforts, particularly widespread corruption among senior military officials. While these internal issues may hinder Beijing’s goal of achieving a fully modernized military by 2027, its progress remains a cause for concern.
The Pentagon underscores the urgency of monitoring China’s military trajectory, as its ambitions pose significant implications for global security and U.S. strategic interests.

Energy efficiency of existing EUV lithography sources
Special multi-layer mirrors guide the light through plates called masks, which hold the intricate patterns of the integrated circuits for semiconductor wafers. The light projects the pattern onto a photoresist layer that is etched away to leave the integrated circuits on the chip, according to a press release by LLNL.
The project also aims to investigate the primary hypothesis that the energy efficiency of existing EUV lithography sources for semiconductor production can be improved with technology developed for the novel petawatt-class BAT laser, which uses thulium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride (Tm:YLF) as the gain medium through which the power and intensity of laser beams are increased, as per the release.
Semiconductor industry to get benefit
Williams highlighted that this project will establish the first high-power, high-repetition-rate, about 2-micron laser at LLNL.
This advancement is expected to benefit the semiconductor industry. Williams emphasized that the BAT laser’s capabilities will have implications beyond EUV generation, significantly impacting high-energy density (HED) physics and inertial fusion energy.
LLNL also maintained that the semiconductor industry has been engaged in a constant race to make each generation of microprocessors smaller yet more powerful by packing as many integrated circuits and other features as possible into one chip. For the past several years, EUV lithography has taken the forefront because it uses EUV light to etch microscopic circuits as small as a few nanometers onto advanced chips and processors.

A stablecoin is a digital asset that aims to keep a stable price. Usually pegged to a currency, they are intended to be less volatile than other cryptocurrencies.
The SEC said Terraform and Kwon deceived investors about the stability of TerraUSD and how a popular Korean mobile payment app used the Terraform blockchain to settle transactions.

Other spectators, such as Jodi Hung, a Hong Kong resident in her 20s, also praised the drone show as “great.”
“I think people who designed the drone show had very good technique, very amazing, they combined art and techniques together,” Hung said.

Hong Kong has launched a series of activities across the city in recent weeks –- including exhibitions and a panda-themed carnival -– after Beijing gifted Hong Kong with a pair of giant pandas, named An An and Ke Ke. The arrival of the pair takes the total number of giant pandas in Hong Kong to six, all of whom reside at the city’s Ocean Park, a theme park comprising amusement park rides and animal exhibits.
The think tank argued in its proposal that the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision that race-based affirmative action programs in college admissions processes violated the Fourteenth Amendment has called into question the legality of DEI programs.
The center said that since the court’s decision, other companies have cut back or eliminated DEI out of fear of legal, reputational or financial risks.
Indeed, Toyota, Meta, Walmart, Ford and others have scaled back or ditched DEI altogether, and the center contended that while Costco rebranded its equity program, “sticking a new label on discriminatory practices does not protect Costco and its shareholders from these risks.”
Costco says it’s keeping its diversity, equity and inclusion practice despite pressure from an outside group amid a wave that sees other companies rolling back the policy in recent months.
The retailer’s board of directors urged shareholders to vote against recommendations from the conservative National Center for Public Policy Research that requested the wholesale giant conduct and publish a report on the risks of maintaining the DEI program.
Indeed, Toyota, Meta, Walmart, Ford and others have scaled back or ditched DEI altogether, and the center contended that while Costco rebranded its equity program, “sticking a new label on discriminatory practices does not protect Costco and its shareholders from these risks.”
“With 310,000 employees, Costco likely has at least 200,000 employees who are potentially victims of this type of illegal discrimination because they are white, Asian, male or straight,” the think tank argued in its proposal. “Accordingly, even if only a fraction of those employees were to file suit, and only some of those prove successful, the cost to Costco could be tens of billions of dollars.”

This is how to conduct an interview. Allow the person to speak without interrupting every few moments trying to trip you up or try to show how intellectual the interviewer is and make it about himself too.
Thank you Rabbi I found this very enjoyable (lack of a better word) and a lesson on how to be respectful.

Jordan Peterson gives Spectator editor Michael Gove his reflections on the rightward shift many countries in the West are making: such as Pierre Poilievre in Canada, Donald Trump in the US, and the many examples in Europe. On America, he tells Michael why there is still a question mark over whether the many personalities within the Republican Party can work together – and why there is an even greater need for a functioning adversarial Democrat Party.
Canada is a woke hellscape. Canadian streets have seen so much death and suffering due the extreme left policies. Our dollar is worth nothing and we have a petulant malevolent half wit for a PM that has destroyed everything he could. We still have political prisoners in jail and many persecuted by this government. All Fed Gov agencies have been compromised here including the courts and the RCMP. You struggle to get a place at a University unless you check the right ethnicity boxes. Crime is out of control. It’s v hard to get a job. We also now have thought crimes passed into law. Young people have fled Canada in droves Housing is too expensive and under supplied. Mr P is if anything understating the facts here.

Fans paid tribute to Meek in the comments section of the livestream.
“Praying for Hudson’s family at this difficult time,” one fan wrote.
“The choir did a beautiful job honoring Hudson,” someone else said.

A third person wrote, “Beautiful service. Our church has been blessed by this family and we will continue to support and pray for them here at Dawson.”
Costco’s board of directors fired back against the request and unanimously recommended that shareholders vote against it. Voting on the center’s proposal is slated for next month.
The company contended that its DEI program boosts stores’ “treasure hunt” shopping atmosphere and allows for more diverse employees serving a customer base of many backgrounds.

Google CEO Pichai tells employees to gear up for big 2025: 'The stakes are high'
In a meeting with employees, Google CEO Sundar Pichai set the stage for 2025, and the expected increase in competition, regulatory hurdles and AI advancements.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai told employees last week that "the stakes are high" for 2025, as the company faces increased competition and regulatory hurdles and contends with rapid advancements in artificial intelligence.
At a 2025 strategy meeting on Dec. 18, Pichai and other Google leaders, donning ugly holiday sweaters, hyped up the coming year, most notably as it pertains to what's coming in AI, according to audio obtained by CNBC.
#google #pichai #ceo #2025
"I think 2025 will be critical," Pichai said. "I think it's really important we internalize the urgency of this moment, and need to move faster as a company. The stakes are high. These are disruptive moments. In 2025, we need to be relentlessly focused on unlocking the benefits of this technology and solve real user problems."
Some employees attended the meeting in person at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California, and others tuned in virtually.

Trump asks Supreme Court to pause imminent TikTok ban
Attorneys representing President-elect Donald Trump have asked the Supreme Court to pause a law that would force TikTok-owner ByteDance to sell the short-form video app or see it banned from the United States.
If the app isn’t sold, the ban is set to take effect in just a few weeks, on January 19. ByteDance is challenging the constitutionality of the law — officially titled the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act — with the Supreme Court scheduled to hear arguments on January 10.
#trump #tiktok #supremecourt #socialmedia #ban
In a new filing, Trump’s lawyers describe the ban-or-sell deadline, coming one day before his inauguration, as “unfortunate timing” that interferes with his “ability to manage the United States’ foreign policy.”
The filing does not specify what approach Trump might take to the issue, but it claims that he “alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns expressed by the Government.”
The filing also notes that he currently has 14.7 million followers on TikTok, “allowing him to evaluate TikTok’s importance as a unique medium for freedom of expression, including core political speech.”
Images Show Novel Chinese Military Aircraft Designs, Experts Say
Blurry images of two new Chinese military aircraft with stealth features appeared online Friday, showing advanced design but lacking enough detail for confirmation.
Blurry images of two seemingly new Chinese military aircraft with stealthy characteristics appeared online on Friday, with defense experts saying they were clearly advanced designs, but there was not enough detail for definitive conclusions.
Both designs are tailless, meaning they do not have vertical stabilizers to help maintain control. Such aircraft are typically kept stable by computers that interpret the pilot's control inputs.
The larger of the two designs is roughly diamond-shaped, with three air intakes for its engines - two alongside the fuselage and one on top - an extremely unusual configuration. The smaller one has a more conventional layout, but no tail.
Both have the lack of 90-degree angles typical of stealth shaping, which is designed to reduce radar detection.
As China modernizes its military, the designs "show the willingness of China's aviation industry to experiment and innovate," said Euan Graham, a senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
"Whatever the merits or demerits, it appears to be a highly original design," he said. "They deserve kudos for that, and should shake off any lingering complacency that the U.S. and its allies always set the pace."
Chinese robot masters massage techniques, pinches, vibrates with human-like hands
This new robot can give traditional Chinese massage just like a master masseuse.
Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Shanghai for Science have successfully developed a new robot that uses traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) techniques to give massages. This new robot could eventually find a place in healthcare, wellness, and rehabilitation facilities as an additional patient therapeutic tool.
“We adopt an adaptive admittance control algorithm to optimize force and position control, ensuring safety and comfort,” wrote Yuan Xu, Kui Huang, Weichao Guo, and Leyi Du in their paper published in the journal arXiv.
#china #robots #hands #massage #humanoind #future
“The paper analyzes key TCM techniques from kinematic and dynamic perspectives and designs robotic systems to reproduce these massage techniques,” they added.
The as-yet-unnamed robot uses jaka zhu7 robotic arms, each with a multi-functional massage hand installed at their ends. These “hands” have been meticulously designed to mimic the approximate size and shape of a human hand.
Chinese TCM-trained robot masseuse
According to the team, the robot’s hands have four operation modes, each emulating different TCM massage techniques, such as the concept of zang-fu organs and meridians. To this end, the hands can perform palm punch, vibration, kneading, and finger technique function modules.
Each function requires different hardware tools to perform tasks like turning the hand into a fist or providing directed vibration to an area. Others, like the kneading function, employ a specially designed “kneading motor” that allows the robot to “pinch” the user’s back.
“We adopted a compliance control algorithm based on adaptive admittance control, aiming to optimize force and position control to address challenges such as patient posture changes and muscle stiffness differences, ensuring the safety and comfort of the massage process,” wrote Xu, Huang, and their colleagues.

US scientist proposes ‘tungsten shotgun’ to enhance fusion reactor stability
Given its exceptional strength and resilience to extremely high temperatures, tungsten already plays a crucial role in the construction of fusion reactor walls.
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are exploring a novel approach to mitigate a critical challenge in fusion energy development, i.e., the detrimental effects of runaway electrons. Electron runaway arises from plasma instabilities within fusion reactors.
“Fusion reactors work by extracting tremendous sums of energy from the fusion of lighter atomic nuclei into a heavier nucleus,” said LANL in a press release.
To achieve this, scientists need to create a superheated plasma, a state of matter where electrons are stripped from atoms, reaching temperatures exceeding 150 million degrees Celsius.
#tungsten #fusion #energy #reactor
“But instability breeds in extreme conditions. The plasma is wildly unruly and often tries to escape the reactor,” highlighted the press release.
“One severe byproduct of this instability is runaway electrons.”
‘Tungsten shotgun’ for runaway electrons
These electrons, accelerated to near-light speed, can escape the magnetic fields designed to contain them and collide with the reactor walls.
These collisions can cause significant damage, potentially leading to costly repairs and operational downtime.
“It isn’t damage over time. In one event, the beam can punch a hole in a solid tungsten wall, damaging the subsurface cooling mechanism beneath,” remarked Michael Lively, a fusion expert at Los Alamos, who has proposed a solution to this issue.
Lively suggests the implementation of a “tungsten shotgun.”

North America’s first autonomous electric loaders begin operations in Canada mine
These powerful new loaders will optimize operations and enhance cycle times at New Afton, Canada’s sole block cave mine.
Setting a precedent for the continent, Canada’s New Afton mine has become the first in North America to integrate autonomous loaders into its operations.
Sandvik’s 18-ton autonomous loaders have been in operation since mid-November at the New Afton mine, working in a designated test area on the “Lift 1” footwall.
The mine’s operators are now preparing to move the machines to the “C-Zone” and expect to have them in regular service by the beginning of the new year.
