A few months ago, I quit my job at Google after 10 years to join a 40 person startup (Replit). At the time, I had a hard time expressing why I needed to make the change, even though I knew with certainty. Writing this helped me sort it out. I left because I needed to fix my work-life balance. I joined Google in early 2011. Larry Page was beginning his... Read more âș

If you had invested ÂŁ100 (US$122) in the cryptocurrency Luna a month ago, you might have been quietly confident youâd made a sensible bet. But Lunaâs value has since fallen drastically â at the time of writing, that ÂŁ100 is worth around 4p (5Âą). Luna was by no means the only victim in a week where cryptocurrencies were down 30%.

Some cryptocurrencies have always been fairly volatile, with values soaring or plunging within a short space of time. So for the more cautious investor, âstablecoinsâ were considered the sensible place to go. As the name implies, they are designed to be a steadier and safer bet. At the moment though, that stability is proving hard to find. The value of one of the most popular stablecoins, Terra (also known as... Read more âș

The road map to replacing old-fashioned carbon-emitting cars with electric vehicles is well developed â at least in theory. All the major car makers (and even some of the smaller ones) are publicly committed to electric. But actually, buying a new electric car? Thatâs another matter entirely. Volkswagen, the largest car manufacturer in the world, recently announced it had sold out of electric vehicles in the US and Europe for... Read more âș

Black holes are among the most profound predictions of Einsteinâs theory of general relativity. Originally studied as a mere mathematical consequence of the theory rather than as physically relevant objects, they soon became thought of as generic and sometimes inevitable outcomes of the gravitational collapse that initially forms a galaxy. In fact, most physicists have suspected that our own galaxy revolves around a supermassive black hole at its center. There... Read more âș

In a recent interview with the Financial Times, Elon Musk confirmed that Teslaâs Supercharger network in the US (and in North America, in general) will open up to non-Tesla EVs.

In the last few years, our awareness of the impact of carbon emissions has skyrocketed. In response, many cities are trying to reduce the use of cars (particularly ICEs) within inner urban areas in favor of pedestrians, cyclists, and mass transit. But does such an approach actually make a real difference to air pollution levels? Letâs take a look: Whatâs the problem with cars? You probably know the stats, but... Read more âș

Despite rapid improvements in advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), the technology is still falling short in collisions, as the latest tests from the American Automobile Association (AAA) reveal. ADAS systems are widely available â and are often called semi-autonomous, as they combine automatic vehicle acceleration with braking and steering. The AAA tested three different ADAS-equipped vehicles: a 2020 Tesla Model 3 with Autopilot, a 2021 Subaru Forester with EyeSight, and... Read more âș
