The carrier opened registration for its Starlink satellite beta service. This technology lets regular phones connect directly to satellites. As a result, dead zones could become a thing of the past. T-Mobile and SpaceX plan to begin beta tests in early 2026. Initially, the service will support texting only. Voice and data will follow later. Notably, the service is free for postpaid customers and prioritizes first responders. It has already proved its value during recent hurricanes. Next, Cochrane covers Japan’s 100-kilowatt laser weapon test. The system was installed on the JS Asuka test ship. It combines ten fiber lasers into a single powerful beam. The weapon offers unlimited ammo as long as there’s electricity. Japan plans to deploy this technology on destroyers by 2032. The episode then shifts to high-speed rail innovation. China’s T-Flight Maglev train recently hit 387 miles per hour. That already beats Japan’s current record. However, the goal is 600+ mph using magnetic levitation and low-vacuum tubes. Cochrane also discusses Rivian’s approach to self-driving cars. The upcoming R2 model will feature LiDAR in addition to cameras and radar. This directly challenges Tesla’s camera-only strategy. The added sensors improve safety in fog, snow, and darkness. Additionally, he explores Google’s Android XR announcement. This new operating system powers AR glasses and mixed reality headsets. Samsung is building the first headset. Meanwhile, the Gemini AI integration allows real-time assistance based on what you see. The show touches on running AI locally as well. More users are choosing local hardware over cloud services. Benefits include better privacy, no subscriptions, and offline access. Furthermore, Cochrane highlights major computer science breakthroughs from 2025. An MIT researcher discovered that memory is more powerful than previously thought. Google’s AI earned a gold-medal performance at the Math Olympiad. However, researchers also found that AI trained on bad code exhibits alarming behaviors. Japan’s fabric speaker innovation gets attention, too. The technology weaves conductive fibers into textiles. The entire surface vibrates to produce sound. This could transform how we integrate audio into everyday objects. Finally, Cochrane covers several science stories. A new imaging technique captures flu viruses invading cells in real time. Africa’s forests have flipped from absorbing carbon to releasing it. On a lighter note, physicists 3D printed tiny ice Christmas trees using clever pressure tricks. Cochrane wraps up by wishing listeners happy holidays.

Ivan Feinseth believes people want to buy EVs but show hesitancy due to a lack of widespread charging infrastructure to support them. He shares more bullish views when it comes to autonomous driving, believing companies like Uber Technologies (UBER) will capitalize on the tech. Austin Lyons adds that Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo already made significant traction and makes the case for personal autonomous vehicles. Circling back to EVs, Austin sees positive momentum in Rivian (RIVN) and its R2 model. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
This podcast is the audio version of the Gear Garage Live Show, where we answer submitted questions and talk all things whitewater. Episode Summary Zach kicks off the show with a look at a new throw bag from Sockdolager, modified with 5/16" Sterling rope for a better grip—available now at River Hardware. He then tackles a deep dive into river safety, specifically why running rivers during the "first big flood" of the season is a recipe for disaster due to debris and taxed search-and-rescue resources. The episode takes a personal turn as Zach explains his unique career path from teaching engineering to owning Northwest Rafting Company, followed by an extensive technical clinic on boat selection. He compares the Wing Jumbo to the Air Outfitter 2 for the Chetco River and breaks down why an 11-foot Sotar Legend is the "sports car" of catarafts for day trips in the Pacific Northwest. Highlights The "First Flood" Danger: Zach explains why he avoids first-of-the-year flood runs—new strainers, floating debris (like entire decks!), and the ethical responsibility of not taxing emergency services during active flood events. Engineering to Outfitting: A behind-the-scenes look at how Zach transitioned from teaching community college engineering to buying a rafting company, with a candid take on the "not-so-glamorous" side of business like accounting and permitting. Upper Chetco Boat Beta: Why tube diameter and boat length matter for the Chetco. Zach recommends big-tube stability (like the Wing Jumbo) over low-sitting packrafts for navigating rocky, technical drops. Cataract Sizing Clinic: Is a 12.6-foot cat the most versatile? Zach argues yes for multi-days, but champions the 11-foot cat for pure performance and ease of transport on PNW day runs like the Wind or White Salmon. Manufacturer Breakdown: A candid review of cataraft brands—why Sotar and Air lead the pack in design, while brands like Maravia still struggle with cataraft rocker and "twitchy" performance. R2 Class Interest: Zach discusses the possibility of bringing R2 (two-person paddling) training to Hood River and asks for listener feedback to gauge interest for a spring session. Gear Mentioned River Hardware Sockdolager Throw Bag A modified version with 5/16" static Sterling rope, designed for a better "hand" than standard thin packrafting lines. Wing Jumbo Kayak: A square-bow inflatable kayak designed specifically for technical stability on the Chetco. AIRE Outfitter 2: A longer inflatable kayak compared to the Jumbo, discussed for its suitability on technical multi-days. SOTAR Legend Zach's top pick for high-performance catarafts, specifically the 11-foot version. Ask for the "Creeker Version" AIRE Wave Destoryer: A high-performance cataraft alternative with aggressive rocker. Related Resources Whitewater Guidebook – The go-to spot for submitting show questions and finding detailed river maps.

Wrap-Up Thanks for joining this episode of the Gear Garage Live Show. Whether you're debating between a cataraft or a raft for your next purchase, or wondering if you should head out on that flood-stage run, Zach's advice remains: prioritize stability, trusted partners, and the right tool for the job.

Millalgi 2014. aasta pimedail lõpunädalail tegi tollane R2 peatoimetaja Kristo tollal hommikusaate üheks saatejuhiks olnud Madisele ettepaneku, et kuivõrd igasugu musaviktoriinid on nii popiks muutunud (Tallinna kontekstis tollal kolmapäeviti Sinilinnus toimunu, mis oli Tartu samasugusest üritusest pungunud), siis võiks ka kuidagi raadios musaviktoriini teha.Oli suht kohe selge, et sama formaati ehk lihtsalt lugude ära arvamist raadios teha ei saa või siis oleks see väga igav. Nii et ettepaneku järel läks mõnda aega, et saate formaat välja mõelda, siis nimi, ja seejärel pisut, et leida ka panelistid, kuigi ega muid reaalseid kandidaate peale Andersi ja Siimu vist polnudki. Nüüd on möödunud aastad ja eetrisse jõuab 400. saade mainitud asjaosalistega. Head kuulamist!

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins us to unpack the key takeaways from the recently announced Resource Estimate for the Levack Mine and the development pathway into production as their second polymetallic mine located in the North Range of the Sudbury Basin, Canada. Levack Mineral Resource Estimate Highlights (as of August 31, 2025, the cut-off for diamond drill data incorporated in the MRE): Current mineralization in the Levack Mine includes 6.1 million tonnes in the Indicated category at 3.5% copper equivalent ("CuEq"), comprised of 1.1% Cu, 1.4% Ni, 0.6 grams per tonne (g/t) Pt, 0.7 g/t Pd, 0.1 g/t Au, and 2.0 g/t Ag, as well as 5.2 million tonnes in the Inferred category at 3.6% CuEq (1.2% Cu, 1.4% Ni, 0.6 g/t Pt, 0.8 g/t Pd, 0.2 g/t Au, 2.1 g/t Ag). The high grade footwall-type deposits contain 368,000 tonnes in the Inferred category at 9.4% CuEq (5.4% Cu, 0.75% Ni, 2.9 g/t Pt, 5.4 g/t Pd, 1.5 g/t Au, and 21.0 g/t Ag), as well as 178,000 tonnes in the Indicated category at the previously-mined Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit grading 15.5% CuEq (9.1% Cu, 2.4% Ni, 3.6 g/t Pt, 6.6 g/t Pd, 1.6 g/t Au, 34.2 g/t Ag), which remains open at depth. The No. 3 Footwall deposit is particularly rich in precious metals, containing 76,000 tonnes in the Inferred category grading 7.9 g/t Pt, 15.7 g/t Pd, 3.1 g/t Au and 30.3 g/t Ag, as well as 4.5% Cu and 0.7% Ni (13.4% CuEq) with important potential implications for ongoing exploration in the footwall environment. The zones of contact-type mineralization generally occur at depths of less than 750 metres (approximately 2,460 feet) and contain 5.9 million tonnes in the Indicated category grading 0.9% Cu, 1.4% Ni, and 2.1 g/t precious metals (Pt+Pd+Au+Ag), or 3.2% CuEq, as well as 4.8 million tonnes in the Inferred category at 3.2% CuEq (0.9% Cu, 1.5% Ni, 1.5 g/t precious metals (Pt+Pd+Au+Ag)). We also review the continued series of high-grade copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver drill results released in recent assays from many areas of the Levack Mine after the cutoff for this resource update that are continuing to expand the mineralization. Jason got into some of these areas like the No.1 to No. 2 Main area, the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit, the Keel Zone, and the footwall environment between the No.2 and No. 3 Ni-Cu Zone. There are currently two surface diamond drills operating at the Levack Mine, one completing three shallow infill and metallurgical drill holes on the Main Ni-Cu Zone in support of the Levack Restart Study, and a second drill exploring the footwall environment between the No. 3 Ni-Cu Zone and the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE Deposit, Jason shares more context on why the exploration and engineering teams are getting quite excited about this R2 Target at the Levack Mine, and after more drilling, it may change the anticipated sequence of the mine restart plan that the team is still working on. The team is also reviewing the potential for bringing hoisting back to Levack in a development scenario. He mentioned that this new resource estimate paired with ongoing drilling at newer discoveries like R2 at Levack would be instructive for how they approach the mine restart plan moving into next year. Wrapping up we widened the scope beyond just the currently producing McCreedy West mine, and upcoming development of the Levack Mine into a production decision next year, to other assets like their Crean Hill, Podolsky, and Shakespeare development projects, that showcase the company ambitions to become a multi-mine producer in the Sudbury Basin.

BUFFALO, NY — November 20, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 10 of Aging-US on October 10, 2025, titled “Developmental arrest rate of an embryo cohort correlates with advancing reproductive age, but not with the aneuploidy rate of the resulting blastocysts in good prognosis patients: a study of 25,974 embryos.” In this large-scale study, Andres Reig of the IVIRMA Global Research Alliance and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, along with Emre Seli of the IVIRMA Global Research Alliance and Yale School of Medicine, investigated how female age and chromosomal abnormalities affect embryo development in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). They found that embryo developmental arrest (EDA) becomes more common as women age. However, this arrest is not directly associated with the presence of chromosomal errors in the embryos that continue to develop. These findings could help improve fertility counseling and treatment strategies. The researchers analyzed 25,974 embryos from 1,928 IVF cycles, all from patients with a good chance of success. The study showed that the percentage of embryos that stopped developing before reaching the blastocyst stage increased with age: from 33% in women under 35 to 44% in those over 42. Despite this rise, the rate of chromosomal abnormalities, known as aneuploidy, in the embryos that did reach the blastocyst stage did not show a strong connection with the rate of arrest after adjusting for age. This distinction is important because both developmental arrest and aneuploidy reduce the number of embryos suitable for transfer. But this study suggests they are caused by different biological processes. In other words, an embryo may stop developing even if it has the correct number of chromosomes, and some embryos with chromosomal abnormalities may still grow to the blastocyst stage. “A very weak positive correlation was identified between EDA rate and the rate of aneuploidy (r: 0.07, 95% CI 0.03–0.11; R2: 0.00, p < 0.01) when evaluating all cohorts.” The authors suggest that other factors, such as the health of the egg's mitochondria or mutations in maternal-effect genes, may explain why some embryos stop developing. These insights could help researchers identify new ways to improve embryo quality, especially for older women undergoing IVF. Importantly, the study focused on embryos that developed far enough to be tested, which helped avoid technical problems that come with analyzing arrested embryos directly. This approach allowed for more reliable comparisons across age groups and embryo quality. Overall, the study highlights the importance of maternal age as a key factor in embryo development, independent of chromosomal results. It also opens new directions for research, aiming to better understand why embryos fail to develop and how this knowledge might lead to improved fertility treatments in the future.

Detected by astronomers from Kitt Peak National Observatory six hours post-approach, this 3-meter space rock serves as a reminder of the many near misses that may go unnoticed. This episode discusses the implications of such encounters and the ongoing efforts to enhance planetary defense against potential threats.Green Comets Illuminate the Night SkySkywatchers have been treated to the rare sight of two vibrant green comets, C 2025 R2 Swann and C 2025 A6 Lemon, both originating from the Oort Cloud. As they approach the sun, these comets are heating up and releasing gases, creating their characteristic tails. This segment explores their trajectories, visibility, and the exciting opportunity they present for amateur astronomers, particularly as they coincide with the annual Orionid meteor shower.Chinese Space Junk Crash in AustraliaIn a dramatic turn of events, debris from the Chinese Jielong 3 rocket has been discovered smoldering in Western Australia's outback. This segment details the recovery of the wreckage and the ongoing investigation by the Australian Space Agency. The incident raises concerns over space debris management, especially in light of previous accidents involving Chinese spacecraft.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstronomy and Astrophysicshttps://www.aanda.org/Geophysical Research Lettershttps://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/19448007Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Asteroid 2025 TF: A Close EncounterGreen Comets Illuminate the Night SkyChinese Space Junk Crash in Australia

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1180: Fresh off a global adventure, Paul and Kyle return with stories from Kazakhstan, a look at why destination fees are climbing faster than car prices, and how Rivian and GM are tightening up their EV operations as the market cools.Destination fees — the unavoidable “shipping” charges tacked onto every new vehicle — are climbing faster than sticker prices. Once a minor line item, these fees have ballooned across brands, marking the steepest industrywide increase in at least a decade as automakers quietly offset rising costs and tariffs.Average destination fees jumped 8.5% for 2025 models, the biggest one-year spike in 10 years, according to Edmunds.Fees have risen 27% since 2021, now averaging $1,549, up from $1,220 just four years ago.Some models saw even sharper hikes — Porsche up 48%, Ford up 39%, Stellantis up 35%.Analysts point to inflation, heavier vehicles, and new tariffs as key cost drivers.“It's another place where they can increase the price without increasing the price,” said Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions.As the EV market cools and cost pressures rise, both Rivian and GM are trimming teams to stay efficient. Rivian's cutting hundreds after the loss of key EV tax credits, while GM is reducing salaried positions tied to design and development as part of a broader restructuring.Rivian is laying off 4.5% of its workforce — about 600 employees — as it consolidates operations in sales, service, and marketing.CEO RJ Scaringe said the move reflects a “changing operating backdrop” as demand softens following the expiration of the $7,500 EV credit.Rivian will continue investing in its next-gen R2 platform to reach a broader market beyond its luxury R1 lineup.GM confirmed more than 200 white-collar job cuts in Detroit, mostly in its design engineering and CAD teams.The automaker is also managing $1.6 billion in EV-related write-downs and tariff costs as it shifts strategy to protect margins amid a slower adoption curve.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:25 More Than Cars just got back from Kazakhstan7:42 Destination Fees Skyrocket On 2025 Models10:33 Rivian Lays Off 600, GM Cuts 200Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
Electric vehicle maker Rivian plans to lay off approximately 4% of its workforce, according to the Wall Street Journal. The report stated that the development would impact over 600 employees. However, the company has not provided further details.The news comes after a WSJ report in September that Rivian would cut about 1.5% of its workforce. A company spokesperson said that the previous layoffs impacted the commercial team as the automaker worked to “improve operational efficiency” for its upcoming R2 model, planned for launch in 2026.

Apple Vision Pro rumored to leverage cutting-edge 2nm process with new R2 chiphttps://appleinsider.com/articles/25/09/18/apple-vision-pro-rumored-to-leverage-cutting-edge-2nm-process-with-new-r2-chipApple is reportedly preparing a new R2 co-processor for a future Vision Pro model, built on TSMC's 2nm process. This would be a first for Apple's headset line, positioning Vision Pro as a showcase for Apple's most advanced silicon. The R2 chip is expected to deliver significant improvements in latency, thermal efficiency, and overall performance.Why it mattersPerformance leap: The R2's move to 2nm could allow smoother passthrough, faster sensor fusion, and better hand/eye tracking stability.Battery & heat: Improved performance-per-watt means cooler operation and extended battery life—key factors for headset comfort.Ecosystem signal: Apple investing its most advanced chip process in Vision Pro underscores long-term commitment to spatial computing.Key detailsCurrent baseline: Vision Pro pairs an M2 for apps with an R1 for real-time sensor data. The R1 delivers ~12ms photon-to-photon latency.Next-gen rumor: R2 would supersede R1, likely debuting around 2026, with a 2nm fabrication node.What's new for users & developersFor users: Potentially longer wear sessions with less heat and jitter, moving Vision Pro beyond demo use into all-day practicality.For developers: More compute headroom for richer apps, higher fidelity passthrough, and expanded spatial workflows.For the ecosystem: If Vision Pro becomes the platform where Apple debuts its most advanced silicon, refresh cycles may accelerate.Industry contextApple's silicon play: Historically, Apple has reserved new process nodes for iPhone or Mac chips. Shifting that to Vision Pro signals strategic priority.Timeline watch: Analysts expect R2 to arrive in 2026 hardware, though specifics on product naming (Vision Pro 2 vs. refresh) remain unclear.The R2 chip could unlock comfort and practicality for extended wear, making Vision Pro more than a short-session device.ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comThePodTalk.NetYouTube.com/@VisionProFiles

Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
Just when we thought we found all the actors who've played Darth Vader, another emerges. Tom Bewley was the first actor to portray the Dark Lord of the Sith on screen after Return of the Jedi. He appeared in the Frank Oz-directed 1985 film, The Indian in the Cupboard. In his very first podcast interview, Tom opens up with never-before-heard stories from behind the mask. He shares what it was like stepping into Vader's boots for The Indian in the Cupboard, his duel with the Energizer Bunny in a now-legendary commercial, memories from the Star Wars 10th Anniversary convention preshow with George Lucas, and plenty more surprises. TODAY in Star Wars History 9/16/1977 48 years ago... ABC aired The Making of Star Wars as Told by C-3PO and R2-D2, an hour-long special hosted by R2-D2 and Anthony Daniels as C-3PO. Coming in the same month as Donny & Marie, Richard Pryor, and Saturday morning Star Wars previews, the special stood out by placing R2 and 3PO in a futuristic Star Wars setting to share behind-the-scenes stories. It was a clever move—fans didn't have to wait for The Empire Strikes Back to get “new” Star Wars, all thanks to Charlie Lippincott's promotional vision.

Backed by Solid Power's tech, the facility will produce prototype batteries featuring advanced lithium-metal and silicon anodes with targets up to 1,000 Wh/l energy density. RIVIAN BREAKS GROUND ON GEORGIA PLANT Rivian has started building a $5 billion EV plant in Georgia, aiming for 200,000 vehicles yearly by 2028, unaffected by the discontinuation of federal EV tax credits. The facility will support scale and lower costs for new models like the R2, following Tesla's profitability playbook as Rivian moves into higher-volume, lower-priced vehicles. RENAULT 4 EV GETS A CARGO VAN VARIANT Renault's new electric 4 is now offered as a cargo van with a load capacity of 1,045 litres and up to 254 miles of range, priced in France from €29,300 before VAT. The conversion is managed in-house by Renault at its Maubeuge plant, with multiple battery and power options for commercial customers. UK GEELY EX5 CUSTOMERS GET FREE ANDERSEN A3 HOME CHARGER INSTALLED Geely will provide buyers of the all-electric EX5 a free Andersen A3 home charger, featuring unique design and smart charging integration, for orders placed before October 23, 2025.

Pricing will start below $45,000 AUD, with deliveries and detailed specs announced closer to launch. TESLA MELBOURNE FSD TEST WAS NOT APPROVED Victorian authorities confirmed Tesla was not authorized to test "Full Self-Driving" on Melbourne's public roads after a viral video showed a Model Y performing an autonomous hook turn in the city center. Tesla says FSD is driver-supervised and not yet legal for autonomous use in Australia, where regulatory permits are required for such trials. TESLA ADDS 7‑YEAR WARRANTY TO SOME PARTS Tesla's 2026 model year vehicles in the US and Canada now carry a “High-Priced Propulsion-Related Part Warranty,” giving seven years' coverage for key electrical components like the power conversion system and high-voltage parts. This new warranty is separate from existing battery and drive unit terms, aimed at lowering costly repair risk for buyers. NHTSA OPENS PROBE INTO 2021 TESLA MODEL Y DOORS U.S. safety regulators have launched a probe into 174,000 Model Y vehicles from 2021 after reports the electronic door handles could fail, potentially trapping children inside. Preliminary findings suggest the issue is linked to low-voltage battery problems, and several parents broke windows to access their children during incidents. SUZUKI LAUNCHES E VITARA EV IN JAPAN IN JANUARY Suzuki's first battery-electric car, the e Vitara SUV, will go on sale in Japan in January 2026, produced in India for export and offering 267 miles per charge at around $27,000. It represents Suzuki's major push into global EVs with significant investments and ambitions for high-volume exports. ID. TOUAREG COULD BE THE FIRST SSP MODEL Volkswagen may transform its Touareg into the first fully electric SSP platform model, with combustion production ending in 2026 and SSP assembly possibly starting in Bratislava by 2029. The SSP platform promises cost savings and fast charging, with VW's wider rollout across brands and models to follow. VOLKSWAGEN DROPS FLUSH DOOR HANDLES FOR FUNCTION Volkswagen will move away from flush-mounted door handles in favor of traditional grab handles in response to customer frustration, as outlined by the brand's CEO at IAA Mobility. The company's next-gen ID. models will prioritize practicality to appeal to mainstream buyers over early adopters. NISSAN CUTS NEW LEAF OUTPUT OVER BATTERY SHORTAGE Nissan has halved production plans for its new Leaf due to shortfalls in battery supply, with revised output at the Tochigi plant being several thousand lower per month. The cutback delays a key launch for Nissan, which is betting on the new Leaf to reinvigorate its lagging EV business.
