There are few answers to the mysterious anomaly.
What was supposed to be the last test of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule before NASA approved the company’s bid to put astronauts on board for a crewed test set has ended with plumes of smoke over Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The test firing of the rocket’s engines experienced what SpaceX has dubbed an “anomaly,” according to the Orlando Sentinel. No one was hurt in the incident, but according to Florida Today, large plumes of smoke were seen emanating from the area, indicating that something had gone wrong. The accident was big enough to show up on radar.
They reminded me that I needed to make an effort to put myself in unfamiliar situations in order to grow.
When I was asked to judge the World Robot Olympiad finals in Thailand this past November, I was expecting a nice break from my day job that might lead to inspiration. What I didn’t expect was to be schooled by a bunch of kids in the creativity department.

These gorillas are copying the selfie-taking behavior of their park rangers, and frankly I wish I could emote as well with my body language.
The problem with reality TV is that reality inherently changes when it’s being filmed for TV. As soon as the subject is aware of its broader audience, every word and gesture is filtered through the context of that audience’s perception. Nature videos, on the other hand, have the benefit of their subjects never knowing they’re on TV–or what TV even is, for that matter. That great white shark didn’t eat that seal to create a viral gif. He did it because he had the munchies.

Samsung won’t release its Galaxy Fold smartphone this week after all. Sources tell the Wall Street Journal that the foldable phone will launch in May at the earliest instead of on Friday, due to “problems affecting the handset’s hinge and extra pressure applied to the internal screen.”
Those with a household income less than $100,000 would be eligible for $50,000 of student loan debt relief.

It will be listed on the Nasdaq with the ticker “BYND.”
The Washington Post Magazine’s chilling mega-issue on climate change comes accompanied by 24 separate covers.
Our reliance on fossil fuels has destroyed our planet. Today it’s a story of erratic weather, but tomorrow it will lead to water shortages, problems growing crops, and more. We must stop climate change if we want to survive, but the constant stream of headlines around the issue can be overwhelming–to the point of numbness.
Hundreds of people were killed in a terrorist attack on Easter Sunday.
A coordinated terrorist attack ripped through hotels, a housing development, and three crowded churches in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday. The series of eight bombs killed nearly 300 people and wounded 500 others. While nearly all the victims were Sri Lankan, people from eight countries were killed, including three of the four children of a Danish billionaire. It was the first major attack since the end of a civil war 10 years ago. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the bombings so far.

To help achieve its emission-reduction goals, Apple is putting money into one of the best carbon-removal devices on earth: mangrove forests.
The fishing community of Cispatá Bay on the coast of Colombia might seem like the unlikely site of an investment for Apple. But the tech giant, which is funding the protection of a 27,000-acre mangrove forest in the area, sees it as a strategic part of its fight to mitigate climate change.
Imagine putting your newborn to bed, in an actual crib, at 30,000 feet.
No parent looks forward to flying with a baby. These little bundles of joy get squirmy in your arms over the course of an hours-long flight. They don’t know how to swallow to clear their ears as cabin pressure changes with altitude. At any moment, they’re likely to start screaming in moderate discomfort, to the chagrin of every other passenger on the plane. Air New Zealand has developed a seat built just for this situation, and the project just won a prestigious Crystal Cabin Award for airline innovation.

Sidewalk Labs has created a new signage system to explain the invisible sensors that are tracking you when you’re in public areas. But there’s still no way to opt out–besides leaving.
Last week, the Google sister company Sidewalk Labs unveiled a comprehensive system of urban signage designed to disclose what technology it is using to track people in public spaces.
