The Instagram app has its own built-in camera, so users can take photos and videos for Stories without needing another app. While users can save this content to their photo library, some people have noticed that the Save button on the Instagram camera has now disappeared – but luckily there’s already a fix available. Instagram removes and adds back option to save Stories For those unfamiliar, Instagram lets users save photos and videos they’ve taken within the Instagram app, so they can download a copy of that media and use it anywhere else. Many creators do this to repost their content on other social networks like TikTok, for example. However, for some unknown reason, the option to save Instagram Stories has disappeared from the Instagram iPhone app. It’s unclear whether the change was due to a bug or whether Instagram was conducting another A/B test to see how users would behave if they no longer had this option available. The good news is that, after many complaints, Instagram seems to have solved the problem. With the latest update to the Instagram app for iOS, which is now available on the App Store, the option has been added back to the app. TikTok, Instagram’s main competitor, recently removed the option to save videos to the photo library unless the user first shares them on their TikTok profile. Perhaps Instagram considered doing the same to force users to share the content first in the app. If you don’t see the option to save Instagram Stories in your app, go to the App Store and download the latest version of the Instagram app for iOS.

President Donald Trump's escalating tariff war is putting Tesla in serious danger.As Politico reports, the trade war has put Tesla CEO Elon Musk in an extremely awkward position politically.While the president's top henchman's businesses are somewhat insulated thanks to a strong manufacturing presence in the United States, Musk's ambitions to turn Tesla into the "most valuable company in the world" by focusing on autonomous driving and robotics could be thwarted by flatlining international trade.Free trade is the "lifeblood of the auto industry," Wedbush Securities analyst and Tesla bull Dan Ives told Politico. "It’s the lifeblood of autonomous and robotics and the future, not just thinking about domestically, but globally."Trump's disastrous trade war could make it extremely difficult for Musk to deliver on his characteristically overzealous promises. For instance, he told investors last year that his EV maker will "solve autonomy," an extremely ambitious goal that will require major breakthroughs in self-driving technologies. (It's worth noting that the mercurial CEO has made such a promise every year for a decade.)Musk has also made baffling claims that the company's Optimus humanoid robot "will be overwhelmingly the value of the company" and rake in $10 trillion in revenue, making it the "biggest product in history."But given China's extremely dominant role as the top producer of humanoid robotics, Trump's extremely steep tariffs could make achieving such a goal extremely difficult, according to experts — if not outright impossible.Optimus, in particular, "would be the place that you would see [the impact of tariffs] because a lot of those components are not necessarily coming from the US," Constellation Research founder Ray Wang told Politico.Musk has already aired his grievances with Trump's plan to shut down international trade and economically isolate the US from the world.Earlier this month, Musk broke against Trump, railing against the architect of his catastrophic tariff policy, advisor on trade and manufacturing, Peter Navarro, calling him a "moron."He also publicly stated that he thinks people should be able to work in both Europe and North America as they please and that there should be a "free trade zone" between the two.The reality: no company of Tesla's size and complexity is well-positioned for Trump's tariffs."Over the years, we’ve tried to localize our supply chain in every market, but we are still very reliant on parts from across the world for all our businesses," Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja warned during an earnings call in January, as quoted by Politico. "Therefore, the imposition of tariffs, which is very likely, will have an impact on our business and profitability."The EV maker has already seen the effects of those interventions, suspending new orders for both Model S and Model X vehicles on its Chinese websites last week.The timing couldn't be worse. Tesla has seen sales plummet worldwide, in large part thanks to spiking anti-Musk sentiment. Investors are fearful of terrible news ahead of next week's first-quarter earnings call.Even Musk's SpaceX could suffer from collapsing supply lines as it relies on Chinese-made tech. The space company begged a US trade representative for tariff exemptions, as The Telegraph reported late last month.SpaceX is now scrambling to move production to the US.It remains to be seen where Trump and Musk's rapidly deteriorating bromance will lead next. But considering the extremely unfavorable stock market and massive volatility, Musk will likely waste no time in trying to beg Trump for some reprieve.Share This Article

April 18, 20255 min readTrump Administration's Science Cuts Come for NSF FundingThe National Science Foundation, which funds key science and engineering research, is the latest U.S. agency to be disrupted by Elon Musk’s DOGEBy Dan Garisto & Nature magazine Some researchers receiving grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation use its ice core facility in Lakewood, Colorado, to store samples. Jim West/Alamy Stock PhotoAll new research grants have been frozen at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) — an action apparently ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk to cut spending and workers across the US government.DOGE is also now reviewing a list of active research grants assessed in February by the NSF for terms associated with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and considering more than 200 of them for termination, NSF staff members have told Nature.On Monday, three DOGE members arrived at NSF headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. NSF employees say that DOGE has directed hundreds of research proposals approved during a multi-step review process — but not yet finalized — be sent back to NSF programme officers, who have been told to perform “mitigation work” without any further details. Science first reported the arrival of DOGE at the NSF this week.On supporting science journalismIf you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our award-winning journalism by subscribing. By purchasing a subscription you are helping to ensure the future of impactful stories about the discoveries and ideas shaping our world today.With a budget of US$9 billion, the NSF is one of the largest funders of basic research in the world. From the start of Donald Trump’s second US presidency, the agency has gone through whiplash-inducing changes: it froze all grant payments and then unfroze them in February following court orders; it fired its probationary employees in February and weeks later rehired half of them. And earlier this month, the agency cut its graduate research fellowship programme by half, offering only 1,000 positions instead of the usual 2,000.The NSF has been under heightened scrutiny following the release of an October 2024 report authored by the office of Ted Cruz, a Republican senator from Texas who now chairs the Senate Science Committee. The report alleged that 3,483 research grants awarded between January 2021 and April 2024 by the NSF during the administration of Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden, “went to questionable projects that promoted diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) tenets”, wasting $2 billion. Today, Democrats in the Science, Space and Technology Committee of the US House of Representatives released an analysis of the Cruz report. The analysis claims major flaws with the report, suggesting that it “jeopardizes the economic and national security of the United States” by “undermining the important work of scientific researchers, educators, and institutions”.A spokesperson for the NSF says it “continues to issue awards” and declined to answer Nature’s questions. Kush Desai, a spokesperson for the White House, says that “the Trump administration is committed to ensuring that federal research spending is in line with the priorities of everyday Americans.” Cruz’s office did not immediately respond to Nature’s requests for comment.To better understand the situation at the NSF, Nature spoke to five staff members, who were granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak with the press.DOGE arrivesWhile DOGE visited other US agencies over the past two months — in some cases dismantling them entirely — NSF staffers held their collective breath.But on Wednesday, DOGE turned its attention to the NSF’s grants, the focus of the agency’s mission. Documents seen by Nature show that two members of DOGE, Luke Farritor and Zachary Terrell, have been given access to grant management systems and used that access to prevent grants from receiving funding that were already approved but awaiting finalization. “That, of course, raises the hairs on the back of our neck in a worrisome way,” an NSF programme officer says.Research projects at the NSF go through multiple steps before approval. Proposals are first submitted to NSF programme officers with expertise in the scientific field they focus on. If the proposals pass muster with the officers, those staff members then commission a review from independent experts outside the agency. Only the strongest applications pass this step — the typical success rate is between 20% and 30%. Division directors within the NSF then give the final approval and send the grants on for finalization with the Division of Grants and Agreements. This is where grants are currently being sent back from.Proposals that receive final approval are essentially always funded — until now, the employees say. Before DOGE’s arrival, new research awards at the agency had slowed by half, relative to 2024, Science has reported. On 16 April, they stopped completely.A report under fireThis isn’t the first time since Trump took office that the NSF has re-examined its grants. In February, the agency initiated a review of all its grants to ensure that they weren’t in violation of executive orders from Trump on “radical and wasteful” DEI programmes and “gender ideology”. At that time, it was flagging grants containing any of hundreds of words that the Cruz report claimed were indicators of left-wing ideologies rather than hard science — such as “women”, “black men”, and “inequality”. Since 1980, the US Congress has mandated that as part of its mission, the NSF should broaden the participation of under-represented groups in science.The House analysis found that the report inappropriately flagged grants at minority-serving institutions because the grants referred to the minority status of the institution. It also found that the Cruz report contained a “slew of embarrassing mistakes”, including that it flagged grants completely unrelated to DEI initiatives, such as the genomic diversity of rice and female leopard seals. Additionally, 14% of the 3,483 grants were duplicates, so they were double-counted.Zoe Lofgren, a US representative from California and the ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, sent the analysis to the NSF earlier today. “It is imperative that NSF is not intimidated into accepting these vacuous findings and undermining its merit review process by substituting the Cruz Report’s slander for expert opinion,” Lofgren wrote in a letter to NSF director Sethuraman Panchanathan.Most of the grants, the analysis found, were flagged because they included language about “broader impacts” of the research to society, a mandatory requirement passed unanimously by the Senate in 2010, before Cruz was a senator, and then again in 2017, after he was.Anthony Gitter, a computational biologist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, had a grant about using deep learning for protein modelling flagged by the Cruz report. It contained a single sentence about offering summer research opportunities to underrepresented minorities as part of the broader impact statement. The Cruz report “plays into the narrative that universities are these elitist places that harbour out-of-touch academics that are no longer doing science,” he says. “But it’s out of touch with the data.”This article is reproduced with permission and was first published on April 17, 2025.

Care instructions: ​​​​Rattlesnake plants grow best in a loose, fast-draining soil that you can fertilize monthly (though hold off in the fall and winter). These guys thrive when placed away from direct light, in an ideal temperature range of 70–80 degrees. They’ll need watering when the top of the soil feels dry to the touch; they also enjoy a spritz if their leaves are looking dry.Rattlesnake Plant 6"Small Calathea 'Rattlesnake'Back to top5. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)Pros:Air purifying characteristicsVery hard to killCons:Grow like weedsA favorite among veterinarians, this plant is easy to grow indoors and incredibly resilient (yes, even to your black thumb!). Spider plants are also great air purifiers, so they can help get rid of your home’s toxins.Care instructions:Spider plants don’t like direct sunlight (it scorches their leaves). Though they’ll tolerate lower light conditions, indirect bright light in temperatures of 60–80 degrees is where they flourish best.Medium Variegated Spider Plant6" Live Spider House PlantBack to top6. Baby Rubber Plant (Peperomia obtusifolia)Pros:Several different varieties to pick fromGood for beginnersCons:Requires lots of light if you want it to grow quicklyDon't get the baby rubber plant confused with a rubber tree (ficus elastica). The peperomia obtusifolia has thick, waxy leaves with big personality. You can find bright green versions or variegated ones that have splashes of light and dark green.Care instructions:Though the baby rubber plant prefers medium to high light situations, it will tolerate low light (it will just grow a bit more slowly). Water it weekly, or whenever you notice the soil is very dry.Peperomia ObtusifoliaBaby Rubber Plant (Peperomia obtusifolia)7. Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans)Pros:Big, fluffy foliageStatement plant for larger roomsCons:Prone to pests like spider mites“The parlor palm is loved not only for its charm, but also for its resilience” Lalicata says. While some palms can be tricky to care for indoors, the parlor palm is low-maintenance, thriving in low light while still maintaining a lush appearance.” Stick one on a credenza or nightstand that’s not too close to a window, as this palm needs only a few hours of indirect light a day.Care instructions:Parlor palms are naturally slow growers that take several years to reach three to four feet tall. As we said, keep this guy out of direct sunlight and keep his soil evenly moist for the best results.Parlor PalmLive Cat Palm TreeBack to top8. Calathea orbifoliaPros:Can thrive in lower-light conditionsBeautiful leaves that look hand-paintedCons:Ideal for plant pros, as it’s finicky about water and lightThe leaf pattern on this particular Calathea is exquisite, if you ask us. This houseplant needs partial shade, which makes it perfect for a plant stand or a shelf in a bedroom that doesn’t get much natural light.Care instructions:We mentioned that Calatheas don’t love the sun (it burns their leaves), but a regular watering schedule will also make sure your plant stays healthy and hydrated, as will keeping it in a room with temperatures of 60–80 degrees (nothing below 55 degrees). It also enjoys ample humidity, so consider regular misting or keeping it near a humidifier.Orbit Peacock PlantBack to top9. Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata)Pros:

Techstars, a nearly 20-year-old startup accelerator, announced new terms for startups that enter its three-month program. The organization will now invest $220,000, which is $100,000 more than it offered previously, in companies starting with its fall 2025 batch. The capital will be divided into two components. The group is offering companies $20,000 in exchange for 5% ownership in the business. Startups will also receive $200,000 in the form of an uncapped SAFE note with a “most favored nation” clause. Put more simply, Techstars’ percentage ownership of its $200,000 SAFE will depend on the company’s subsequent valuations. For example, if the startup’s next financing “prices” it at $10 million, Techstars will receive 2% equity on the SAFE component for a total of 7% ownership. Techstars’ new terms now closely mirror those of Y Combinator. The famed Silicon Valley accelerator increased its funding to startups three years ago by adding a $375,000 SAFE note to its standard deal of $125,000 for 7% of the startup’s equity. So, which accelerator is offering a better deal for startups? The answer largely depends on the company’s capital needs. Compared to Techstars, startups going through YC get more than double the funding but give up more equity. Topics

Earlier this month, reports of a Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood sequel at Netflix broke the internet. Luckily for cinephiles, the report was not an April Fool’s Day joke. The trades later confirmed that David Fincher will direct the OUATIH follow-up from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, with Brad Pitt reprising his Oscar-winning role of Cliff Booth. With Cliff back, the next logical question revolves around Rick Dalton. Would Leonardo DiCaprio return? DiCaprio has been in talks with Netflix for a potential return, which would likely be more of a cameo than a significant role. Recommended Videos DiCaprio is one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. The Oscar winner commands anywhere from $20 to $30 million per movie. DiCaprio was paid $20 million to star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, which hits theaters in September. For a cameo in the OUATIH follow-up, DiCaprio won’t be paid his normal fee. However, it’s not going to be for anything below seven digits. Related On a recent episode of The Hot Mic, The InSneider’s Jeff Sneider revealed that DiCaprio has been “dragging his feet” during these negotiations with Netflix. In other words, he wants more money, which has reportedly annoyed Netflix, Fincher, and Pitt. “I’m told that DiCaprio was offered $3 million dollars for one day of shooting,” Sneider said on the podcast. With filming rumored to begin by late summer, DiCaprio will have to make a decision soon before locking in his next project. Sony Pictures Per The Ringer’s Sean Fennessey, the OUATIH follow-up will be set in 1977 and should be thought of as The Further Adventures of Cliff Booth rather than a direct sequel. Written and directed by Tarantino, 2019’s Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood depicted the relationship between an aging Rick Dalton and his stuntman, Cliff Booth, as they struggle to adapt to the changing times. The movie also introduces Rick’s neighbor, Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), and the impact of the Manson family. Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood grossed over $392 million worldwide and received 10 Oscar nominations, winning Best Supporting Actor (Pitt) and Best Production Design. Editors’ Recommendations
