Reddit’s Stock Is Already Collapsing
It was only a matter of time.
Reddit shares are cratering right now, plunging almost 25 percent in just two days, as CNBC reports.
The social media company went public last week at an IPO price of $34, and initially rallied to around $65.
A faster spinning Earth may force timekeepers to subtract a second from world clocks
For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from our clocks in a few years because the planet is rotating a tad faster than it used to. Clocks may have to skip a second — called a “negative leap second” — around 2029, a new study in the journal Nature said.
“This is an unprecedented situation and a big deal,” said study lead author Duncan Agnew, a geophysicist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. “It’s not a huge change in the Earth’s rotation that’s going to lead to some catastrophe or anything, but it is something notable. It’s yet another indication that we’re in a very unusual time.”
Of Course We’re Living in a Simulation
The only people who absolutely disagree are, well, scientists. They need to get over themselves and join the fun.
Unveiling the future of nanostructures with soft matter magic
As traditional top-down approaches like photolithography reach their limitations in creating nanostructures, scientists are shifting their focus toward bottom-up strategies. Central to this paradigm shift is the self-assembly of homogeneous soft matter, a burgeoning technique with the potential to produce complex nano-patterns on a vast scale.
