The US must pursue strategic technological breakthroughs, such as a working quantum computer by 2028, to stay ahead of rivals like China and ensure its national security.That's according to a report released Tuesday by the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP), an organization funded by former Alphabet Inc. Chairman Eric Schmidt. The document also urges the improvement of computational energy efficiency by a factor of 1,000 or more and the development of commercial-grade superconductor electronics. We are now on…

Bluesky, the internet's hottest members-only spot at the moment, feels a bit like an exclusive club, populated by some Very Online folks, popular Twitter characters, and fed up ex-users of the Elon Musk-owned platform.Musk is not on it — and this might be part of the appeal for those longing for the way things were before the Tesla billionaire bought Twitter and upended nearly everything about the social network, from rules against harassment to content moderation to its system for verifying prominent users' identities.…

Cryptocurrencies have come a long way since the arrival of Bitcoin in 2009. After years of opposition and skepticism, cryptocurrencies have started to make their presence felt in the form of Dogetti (DETI) and Moonshot (MSHOT). Many realize today that cryptocurrencies could be just what the world needs in the form of an alternative financial model that is free from the pressures of government policies, global wars, and pandemics. The last few years have been phenomenal, with the emergence of thousands of new altcoins…

Many cryptocurrency projects aim to have an unlimited token supply to make sure their currency finds its way to everyone, everywhere. However, this is not the case with Uniglo.io (GLO), whose developers want to keep its market capitalization low. They also integrate features into the Uniglo.io project that make the GLO token hyper-deflationary. As Uniglo.io maps out its post-launch milestones, its community intends to have the biggest burn ever, crushing the overall supply of GLO tokens in the market to push its price…

The Argo.ai entity, in which each company owns a little under 40%, will now be disbanded with the two companies taking on some of the key engineers and developers to work directly for them in autonomous driving and ADAS technologies. Dave Leggett: I must say, this move was something of a surprise to me; sharing cost in this expensive tech seemed to make some business sense. What’s behind it? Pete Kelly: I think a few…

LML Star electric scooter LML StarThe LML Star has been showcased with a modern design with the front getting an unsculpted apron, and there is a floating insert at the top which houses the headlamps. The glass on the headlights extends slightly to act as the windscreen but appears smaller than a traditional fly screen on a scooter. The company is yet to reveal the LML Star specifications and features. LML Orion e-bike LML OrionThe Orion e-bike, on the other hand, comes with a battery pack that can be charged on the go…

Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines. As you can tell by the headline of this episode, this is a bonus episode all about Y Combinator Demo Day (and the terms we heard most often during the two-day affair). Natasha and Alex jumped on Twitter Spaces to talk through our favorites of the batch, geography changes, and diversity shake-up that included less women getting funded batch over batch. Below are some of the posts we…

Fifty-three years after humans first walked on the moon, NASA is kicking off its ambitious Artemis program to return us there, starting with an uncrewed launch of a massive new rocket on Monday. The Artemis I mission scheduled Monday morning will see the first flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the second flight of the Orion capsule. It’s been a long road to the launch pad. SLS’s origin story stretches all the way back to 2010, when Congress directed NASA to develop a rocket as a follow-on to the…

Lori Garver, NASA’s former deputy administrator, is famously opposed to reinventing the wheel. NASA, she has written, wasn’t created to do something again. It’s no surprise, then, that she has become a thoughtful critic of the space agency’s approach for returning humans to the moon, which relies on rocketry similar to what NASA used to launch Apollo- and space-shuttle-era astronauts decades ago. NASA, Garver argues, is at its best when it wields its formidable powers to tackle challenges well beyond the reach of the…
