It used to be that venture capitalists couldn’t sell their stake in a portfolio company before it sold or went public without raising questions about the outfit’s prospects. As startups began staying private longer, VCs and management teams grew more comfortable with selling some of their holdings to new investors, but many VCs are likely right now wishing they’d sold even more over the last year or so. One firm that’s happy it pulled the trigger on two of its own deals is YL Ventures, a now 15-year-old, U.S.-Israeli venture firm that specializes in seed-stage cybersecurity investments and that just…
But the weight of the needed solar equipment would go up to more than 20 tons for a Mars outpost closer to the poles. Mars is tilted on its axis by about 25 degrees, slightly more than Earth is, and its orbit is less circular, so less sunlight would reach those PV cells during parts of the year. That means nuclear power becomes more viable at the poles. The power generation equipment needed to produce that much nuclear energy would add up to about 9.5 tons of carry-along mass to produce the same 40 kilowatts of energy. That lift is…
Netflix’s new comedy Senior Year casts star and producer Rebel Wilson as a 37-year-old woman who wakes from a 20-year coma only to head straight back to high school in an attempt to capture the prom queen crown that eluded her back in the day due to a cheer stunt tragedy. The do-over delivers heart, laughs and a buzzy dance break to Britney Spears’ pop hit “(You Drive Me) Crazy.” But it was the do-over part that got the cast talking on Tuesday night ahead of a special screening at West Hollywood’s London hotel. The Hollywood Reporter asked Wilson and all…

Ahead of the album’s release tomorrow, Kendrick Lamar has revealed the cover art for ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’. Like the artwork for its predecessor, 2017’s Pulitzer-winning ‘DAMN.’, the new cover has Lamar featured front-and-centre with a blank expression. This time, however, there’s more of a scene to appreciate: Lamar stands with his back to the camera, appearing to look wistfully out the window of a bedroom with what’s presumed to be his family. He’s clad in a white tee and muted slacks, a handgun sticking out from his belt and a crown of thorns adorned on his head.…

The public school system is at it again, this time mobilizing an attack on advanced placement and honors courses. In some circles, they call these “gifted” classes. In essence, they’re meant for students who are ahead of their classmates, and give them an additional challenge. In the name of “equity,” there’s a new trend of dismantling these courses – what teachers’ unions and special interest groups view as a toxic system based on, you know… performance. Of note, most of these decisions seem to happen in blue states, with the most recent being Rhode Island. But what should surprise the…

Scientists have revived light-sensing neuron cells in organ donor eyes and restored communication between them as part of a series of discoveries that stand to transform brain and vision research. Billions of neurons in the central nervous system transmit sensory information as electrical signals; in the eye, specialized neurons known as photoreceptors sense light. Publishing in Nature, a team of researchers from the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah and Scripps Research collaborators describe how they used the retina as a model of the central nervous system to investigate how neurons die—and new methods to revive them. “We were…

The House of Representatives on Tuesday evening voted 368-57 to approve a $40 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine. 149 Republicans voted in support of the package, including Kevin McCarthy. Only 57 Republicans voted no. The bill will head to the Senate. Before the vote Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to the floor and rebuked the idea of sending another $40 billion to Ukraine when the border is wide open, inflation is out of control, and the stores are running out of baby formula. I want to remind Congress we swore an oath to uphold and defend the…
