I bootstrapped my company to a $500M+ valuation — here are my top 5 learnings

I’m a big advocate of bootstrapping a startup’s growth rather than taking on VC funding. It’s an approach I took from day one with my company and it undoubtedly contributed to our success.

Those who have bootstrapped a startup previously will more... Read more â€ș

How to best watch the lunar eclipse in the US and Canada

On May 26, a total lunar eclipse will be visible in the pre-dawn sky over much of North America. Skygazers will see the Moon pass completely into the shadow of Earth. As this happens, our familiar planetary companion will grow continually redder, before becoming extremely (yet, not entirely) dark. The lunar eclipse on May 26 should be a delight for amateur astronomers (especially in the western United States), or casual... Read more â€ș

The first lunar eclipse of 2021 is going to happen during the early hours of May 26.

Our Milky Way isn’t as unique as we thought — there’s a twin galaxy 320 million light-years away

It’s no surprise the Milky Way is the most-studied galaxy in the universe, given it’s where we live. But studying just one galaxy can only tell us so much about the complex processes by which galaxies form and evolve. One crucial question that can’t be solved without looking farther afield is whether the Milky Way is a run-of-the-mill galaxy, or whether it’s unusual or even unique. Our research, published today...

Huawei’s ‘replacement’ for Android will launch June 2, but does it stand a chance?

Trump’s ban on Huawei was arguably the biggest single blow to the smartphone ecosystem in recent years, crippling the company’s prospects in western markets where access to Google services is essential for Android users.
