Altman mocks space data centres — and most experts agree with him

Sam Altman publicly mocked the concept of short-term space-based data centres, suggesting their proponents are selling unrealistic visions to public market investors. Most industry experts already share this scepticism, viewing orbital data centres as economically unviable in the near term. Altman implied the hype around them is primarily a marketing exercise aimed at capital markets.

Are space-based data centres a realistic technology for the next decade?

Four Deep-Sea Technologies Boost Earthquake and Tsunami Detection

Scientists are deploying four deep-sea technologies — drilling ships, seafloor sensors, repurposed internet cables, and other monitoring systems — to study the ocean floor, the last largely unmapped area on Earth. The goal is to improve early detection of deadly earthquakes and tsunamis. The research was published in Nature on 14 July 2026.

Should deep-sea monitoring technology be a global priority for disaster prevention?

Binance builds a financial super-app as crypto venues evolve into operating systems

Major crypto exchanges, led by Binance, are evolving beyond trading platforms into comprehensive financial ecosystems modelled on super-apps. Core trading metrics — pricing, market depth, latency and fees — are converging across the top platforms, making it harder to differentiate on execution alone. Binance and its rivals are therefore expanding their service ecosystems to retain and attract users.

Is turning crypto exchanges into financial super-apps good for the industry?

Russia's mobilisation never stopped — an analysis of its continuous recruitment

Public debate in Russia, Europe and North America centres on when Moscow will announce a new mobilisation, but analysts point out that recruitment and conscription in Russia have effectively never stopped since 2022. Rather than a single formal announcement, Russia uses continuous, dispersed recruitment mechanisms to maintain troop numbers without declaring general mobilisation. This approach limits domestic social and political pressure while ensuring a steady supply of recruits.

Is Russia's continuous recruitment more effective than a formal general mobilisation?

Sinsay kick flare jeans for 25.99 PLN — down from 69.99 PLN

Sinsay is selling kick flare jeans for 25.99 PLN, reduced from a regular price of 69.99 PLN (the lowest price in the 30 days before the markdown was 45.99 PLN). Kick flare is a cut with a subtle flare from the knee or calf, ending clearly above the ankle — lighter-looking than classic flare jeans. The style suits both casual and smarter outfits.

Are kick flare jeans a better choice than classic flare jeans?

Orbital launch costs to fall 93% by 2040, Cambridge research predicts

A new analysis based on research from a University of Cambridge team predicts that the cost of launching payloads into orbit will fall by 93% by 2040 compared to current rates. Such a dramatic price drop could transform the global space economy into a mature, mass-market industry accessible to a far wider range of players. The authors attribute the trend to growing competition and reusable rocket technology.

Will cheaper space launches benefit all of humanity?
