YouTube and Instagram face being blocked by Russian internet service providers as a result of a standoff between one of the country's richest businessmen and an opposition leader. Russia's internet censor blacklisted material on both services after a court ruled that it violated billionaire Oleg Deripaska's privacy rights. However, Alexei Navalny has refused to remove the videos and photos, which he claims are evidence of corruption. A Wednesday deadline has been set. If neither Mr Navalny nor the US tech firms involved delete or otherwise block local access to the imagery by the end of the day, then Russia's ISPs will be required to take action themse…

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-it-true-that-the-stren/ It is talking about the strength of the magnetic field showing a declining trend, but also skirts around the issue of what happens if the magnetic field flips. Basically, no one knows if/when it will happen, and what/how it will affect us. Some scientists have speculated that previous mass extinctions happened with the zero magnetic field that occurs before a flip. But all this is conjecture. WORLDWIDE NETWORK of geomagnetic observatories monitors changes in Earth's magnetic field. At most places there has been a general decrease in the strength over the past century, typically t…

President Trump sent shockwaves through geopolitical circles after he announced he would not recertify the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. This isn’t bringing the accord to a full stop—it’s just putting the ball in Congress’ court for a potential sanctions redux. Quick refresher: the agreement sought to curb Iran’s nuclear program (by limiting its uranium stockpile and establishing U.N. monitoring protocols) in exchange for lifting certain economic sanctions on the country of 80 million people…a country the U.S. considers the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The business world is keeping a watchful eye. When the deal went through two years ago, some multinati…

The video also gives us a first glimpse of TeslaÂ’s redesigned universal mobile connector (UMC). The seemingly smaller and lighter mobile charger comes as standard equipmen…

In Tesla’s earnings report earlier this week, CEO Elon Musk and other executives ensured investors and Tesla drivers alike that the Supercharger network would not only be able to handle the added weight of hundreds of thousands of Model 3s, but that it would allow customers to drive anywhere. The key for Musk and his team is figuring out where to continue to place those chargers so that transportation within cities and between regions is not only feasible, but convenient. “There’s long distance root enabling between cities, and then there’s also within the cities,” said Jonathan McNeill, president of global sales and services for Tesla during the call. “We’ve …
