Opinion | The Gig Economy Is Affecting Our Communities
I’ve spent nine years inside the gig economy. I write from home in rural West Virginia, a place where factory jobs disappeared long ago and this new way of working arrived like the only option left. I chase payments, explain to my two daughters why we need to wait for ice cream when a client pays late and wonder sometimes if anyone on the other end of the screen knows I’m a person at all.
Before this, I spent significant time in Mississippi. Not as a journalist, but as someone who paid attention. I saw communities where people knew eac

NFL insider says not to rule out a Rams OC already on staff
The Los Angeles Rams are currently the only NFL team without an offensive coordinator. Mike LaFleur left for the head coaching job with the Arizona Cardinals, and the Rams are still doing their search a few weeks later.
While many speculated that passing game coordinator Nathan Scheelhaase would get the job, especially after he interviewed for multiple head coaching gigs himself, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer made a different prediction about the team's next offensive coordinator.

Elon Musk gives an updated timeline for 1st Starship launch of 2026
Elon Musk has vowed that ******* eX's gigantic Starship rocket is on the cusp of its 2026 debut.
In a Jan. 26 post on social media site X, which Musk owns, the world's richest man teased that the world's largest rocket was just six weeks away from its next launch. If Musk's timeline bears out, that would mean that Starship's next flight test could be on track for early March.

Elon Musk has vowed that **** eX's gigantic Starship rocket is on the cusp of its 2026 debut from South Texas.
And later this year, plans are still in the works to launch Starship before the end of the year on its long-awaited maiden voyage from Florida.

The post A Major Revision to the Story of Large Shark Evolution appeared first on A-Z Animals.
Large-body sharks in the Lamniformes family appeared 15 million years earlier than science previously claimed.
Understanding shark evolution can be difficult because sharks are cartilaginous, so only their vertebrae and teeth survive fossilization.
A richly biodiverse ocean during the Late Cretaceous period allowed gigantic sharks to coexist with other apex predators.
As a shark tooth and fossil hunting enthusiast, I often have people ask me why I find fossils so fascinating. To me, the answer is

There’s always something to be worried about in the crypto ****** e. Whether a failing exchange or changes in a regulatory environment, crypto has largely sailed strongly over the past year, despite the latest bearish sentiment.
However, some still see a challenge on the horizon: quantum computing.

Quantum computing technology can be thousands of times faster than conventional computing. Some early quantum tests have solved equations that would have taken a traditional computer thousands years.

The UK is deporting 60 delivery riders found to be working illegally after an immigration crackdown.
Targeted action against workers in the so-called gig economy led to 171 arrests nationwide last month, the Home Office said.
Those arrested included Chinese nationals working in a restaurant in Solihull, Bangladeshi and Indian riders in east London, and Indian delivery riders in Norwich.
The drive comes as ministers try to crack down on illegal working in the UK, as part of efforts to deter those coming to the country illegally.

If you want to stand out at your next metal gig, don't settle for a spot of color in a sea of black – go ultrablack instead.
Engineers at Cornell University have created the blackest fabric on record, finding it absorbs 99.87 percent of all light that dares to illuminate its surface.
To make something ultrablack, you can't just dip it in a dye and call it a day. It requires manipulating the structure of a material on the nanoscopic scale so that it captures as much light as possible.

If you were traversing the ancient Tethys ocean some 115 million years ago and encountered gigantic lamniform sharks, you’d most definitely need a bigger boat.
Lamniformes, an order of sharks that includes the great white of Jaws infamy, evolved around 135 million years ago and may have begun as wee, shallow water-dwelling creatures—around 3 feet long. But over time, they evolved into massive, fearsome fish that ruled the world’s oceans, for example the extinct megalodon that might have surpassed 50 feet long.
Previous evidence suggested that lamniformes swelled in size to hit the top of the

America's labor market continues to cool, and the gig economy is quietly absorbing some of the employment strain being felt across the country.
A new Goldman Sachs ***** ysis found that platform-based gig work opportunities — which include major tech players like Uber (UBER), DoorDash (DASH), and Instacart (CART) — are holding up as traditional payroll growth cools.
About 20% of people who lost pay, lost a job, or had hours cut turned to gig platforms to make up the difference, the ***** ysis said. More signs of a shrinking labor market are expected in this week's delayed September payrolls
