NASA’s futuristic X-59 jet is about to face its biggest challenge yet: breaking the sound barrier for the first time. After a successful series of test flights that pushed the aircraft to near-supersonic speeds, engineers are preparing to fly it faster than Mach 1 and eventually up to Mach 1.6 at 60,000 feet. The sleek experimental aircraft is designed to replace the thunderous sonic boom with a much quieter “thump,” a breakthrough that could help bring supersonic passenger travel back over populated areas.

This Factory Was Severely Short On Workers. Then It Offered Flexible Work.

"Flexible, app-based scheduling lets large pools of part-time workers choose four-hour shifts and even select the type of work they prefer," writes long-time Slashdot reader Tony Isaac. While the system started during the pandemic when factories faced severe labor shortages, the model is now "supplying hundreds of trained workers each week... while giving people — from retirees to sidejob hustlers to longtime employees — control over their hours." NPR says... Read more

Как они поглотили финансовую систему

Скромный и немного скучноватый рассказчик «Великого Гэтсби» Ник Кэррауэй был трейдером на рынке облигаций (его сыграл Тоби Магуайр). Облигации долгое время считались самым скучным видом активов. Они никогда не фигурировали в массовом воображении так же, как акции или корпоративные слияния и поглощения (M&A). Даже Ян Флеминг выбрал имя «Бонд» для своего шпиона, потому что считал, что это «самое неприметное имя, которое я когда-либо слышал». Но, скорее всего, именно они вызовут... Read more

A UCLA study has identified a hidden Achilles' heel in aggressive small cell cancers that have resisted new treatments for decades. Scientists found that tumors lacking the RB gene become critically dependent on the protein E2F3 for survival. Blocking E2F3 shut down tumor growth in laboratory models, and existing FDA-approved drugs may be able to exploit this vulnerability. The discovery could pave the way for faster development of more effective... Read more
