Tesla is expected to report first-quarter earnings after markets close today.And many investors are expecting a "messy" rollercoaster ride. The EV maker has seen its stock price fluctuate wildly amid president Donald Trump's tariff war, and is currently down over 37 percent year to date.Sales have dropped off a cliff worldwide, with longtime Tesla megainvestor and Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives warning that CEO Elon Musk has created a "code red" situation for the once-ascendant company.Musk has spearheaded the Trump administration's massive slashing of government budgets with the help of his so-called Department of Government Efficiency. His actions there, as well as his increasingly public and extremist views, have proven devastating for Tesla's brand.Just two months ago, Ives raised his Tesla price target to a lofty $550, predicting a "golden era" for Musk with Trump in the White House. At the time, he expected that Tesla could see its market cap reach $2 trillion by the end of this year, arguing that the incoming Trump administration could be a "total game changer" for Tesla's self-driving and AI ventures.Instead, Tesla stock price is down to a dismal $237 per share, with its market cap at just $740 billion — and investors are clearly concerned that, if Musk can't undo all the damage he's inflicted, it could fall much further.Ives also predicted "very solid" delivery demand for the company's vehicles, which has instead cratered this quarter, even falling behind rival BYD as resale value for the besmirched vehicles falls as well.Then, as bad news added up, he cut his target by a whopping 43 percent, saying that Musk's disastrous political scheming was driving the brand into the ground.Ives also remains concerned the mercurial CEO has given up on the carmaker, considering the sheer amount of time he's been spending in Washington, DC."Musk needs to leave the government, take a major step back on DOGE, and get back to being CEO of Tesla full-time," Ives argued in a Sunday note to clients. "Tesla is Musk and Musk is Tesla... and anyone that thinks the brand damage Musk has inflicted is not a real thing, spend some time speaking to car buyers in the US, Europe, and Asia.""You will think differently after those discussions," he added.In the run-up to the company's earnings call, Tesla's share price has been volatile, sinking over six percent on Monday only to recover the lost ground by midday Tuesday.And plenty of questions remain about the company's future. Musk has bet Tesla's fate on self-driving tech and the launch of a "Cybercab" robotaxi that's supposed to be revealed this summer.However, investors have been far more concerned about the company refreshing its conventional lineup, which hasn't seen a major overhaul in quite some time now. So far, we've only heard rumors of a purportedly cheaper mass-market vehicle that's based on the company's popular Model Y SUV.Given the grim outlook, Ives slashed his price target two weeks ago, pointing out concerns over Tesla getting caught up in Trump's trade war against China. While the EV maker has a strong manufacturing presence in the US, it isn't immune to the president's steep tariffs aimed at the world power.The longtime Tesla bull predicted tough days ahead for the carmaker."We view this as a fork in the road time," Ives added, borrowing an expression Musk used to encourage federal government employees to resign. "If Musk leaves the White House there will be permanent brand damage, but Tesla will have its most important asset and strategic thinker back as full time CEO."However, "if Musk chooses to stay with the Trump White House, it could change the future of Tesla/brand damage will grow," Ives argued.More on Tesla: Tesla Leak Shows That Musk's Vision Is TremblingShare This Article

According to an early budget proposal that leaked earlier this year, the Trump administration is planning to cut NASA's science budget nearly in half, in what critics are calling an "extinction-level event" for research at the space agency.As Scientific American reports, pending Congressional approval, the budget would have a mind-numbingly painful and unnecessary result: the effective cancellation of NASA's follow-up to its groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.For years, scientists have been hard at work on the observatory, nearing final integration and testing, before moving it to Cape Canaveral, Florida for launch into space.But the latest budget proposal, if approved by Congress, could be a death knell for the already-constructed space telescope."This is nuts," Simons Foundation president and former co-chair of Roman’s science team David Spergel told SciAm. "You’ve built it, and you’re not going to do the final step to finish it?""That is such a waste of taxpayers’ money," he added.The telescope has historically had bipartisan support in Congress, suggesting efforts to cancel it could face significant opposition in Washington, DC.In fact, as the publication points out, Trump has now tried to cancel the Roman telescope on four separate occasions — but Congress successfully fought back each time."We are extremely alarmed by reports of a preliminary White House budget that proposes cutting NASA Science funding by almost half and terminating dozens of programs already well underway, like the Mars Sample Return mission and the Roman Space Telescope," said representative Judy Chu (D-CA) and Don Bacon (R-NE), co-chairs pf the bipartisan US Congressional Planetary Science Caucus, in a statement."If enacted, these proposed cuts would demolish our space economy and workforce, threaten our national security and defense capabilities, and ultimately surrender the United States’ leadership in space, science, and technological innovation to our adversaries," they wrote.If launched, the Roman space telescope could provide scientists with an unparalleled, extremely detailed look at large-scale cosmological structures in infrared light.Named after Nancy Grace Roman, the late American astronomer who made important contributions to star classification and served as NASA's first female executive, the observatory could shed light on some of the biggest scientific mysteries astronomers are pondering today."Roman has the sensitivity we need to understand what’s going on with the 70 percent of the universe that we don’t understand, which is dark energy," Spergel told SciAm.Beyond the Roman telescope, Trump's proposed budget cuts would also kill off other major planetary science and space exploration projects, including a mission to Venus, and NASA's already hard-pressed Mars Sample Return mission.However, funding for existing telescopes, including NASA's JWST and Hubble, is accounted for in the budget proposal.Experts have been appalled at the suggestion of dealing a near-fatal blow to the space agency's Science Directorate."It sets back a program that is clearly the leading program in the world — in a historic fashion," one former government official told SciAm. "You take that program and shoot it through the head."Cancelling the Roman space telescope, in particular, could be devastating news for the scientific community, if not the world."Why do we even plan on doing great things if, on a whim, we can just decide ‘nah’?" a senior space scientist told SciAm. "These things take a generation to build and enable multiple generations of scientists. They should not be blithely thrown away."Share This Article

April 22, 20255 min readWhat Happens to the Plastic in Your Recycling Bin?Much of the U.S. uses single-stream recycling, where plastic, glass and paper go into one bin. Here’s what happens to that material and ways engineering is trying to improve the processBy Alex Jordan & The Conversation US A truck dumps its contents of recyclable items on the tipping floor at the Town of Brookhaven Material Recycling Facility in Yaphank, N.Y. John Paraskevas/Newsday RM via Getty ImagesThe following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research.Every week, millions of Americans toss their recyclables into a single bin, trusting that their plastic bottles, aluminum cans and cardboard boxes will be given a new life.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.But what really happens after the truck picks them up?Single-stream recycling makes participating in recycling easy, but behind the scenes, complex sorting systems and contamination mean a large percentage of that material never gets a second life. Reports in recent years have found 15% to 25% of all the materials picked up from recycle bins ends up in landfills instead.Plastics are among the biggest challenges. Only about 9% of the plastic generated in the U.S. actually gets recycled, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Some plastic is incinerated to produce energy, but most of the rest ends up in landfills instead.So, what makes plastic recycling so difficult? As an engineer whose work focuses on reprocessing plastics, I have been exploring potential solutions.How does single-stream recycling work?In cities that use single-stream recycling, consumers put all of their recyclable materials − paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and metal − into a single bin. Once collected, the mixed recyclables are taken to a materials recovery facility, where they are sorted.First, the mixed recyclables are shredded and crushed into smaller fragments, enabling more effective separation. The mixed fragments pass over rotating screens that remove cardboard and paper, allowing heavier materials, including plastics, metals and glass, to continue along the sorting line.Magnets are used to pick out ferrous metals, such as steel. A magnetic field that produces an electrical current with eddies sends nonferrous metals, such as aluminum, into a separate stream, leaving behind plastics and glass.The glass fragments are removed from the remaining mix using gravity or vibrating screens.That leaves plastics as the primary remaining material.While single-stream recycling is convenient, it has downsides. Contamination, such as food residue, plastic bags and items that can’t be recycled, can degrade the quality of the remaining material, making it more difficult to reuse. That lowers its value.Having to remove that contamination raises processing costs and can force recovery centers to reject entire batches.Which plastics typically can’t be recycled?Each recycling program has rules for which items it will and won’t take. You can check which items can and cannot be recycled for your specific program on your municipal page. Often, that means checking the recycling code stamped on the plastic next to the recycling icon.These are the toughest plastics to recycle and most likely to be excluded in your local recycling program:Symbol 3 – Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, found in pipes, shower curtains and some food packaging. It may contain harmful additives such as phthalates and heavy metals. PVC also degrades easily, and melting can release toxic fumes during recycling, contaminating other materials and making it unsafe to process in standard recycling facilities.Symbol 4 – Low-density polyethylene, or LDPE, is often used in plastic bags and shrink-wrap. Because it’s flexible and lightweight, it’s prone to getting tangled in sorting machinery at recycling plants.Symbol 6 – Polystyrene, often used in foam cups, takeout containers and packing peanuts. Because it’s lightweight and brittle, it’s difficult to collect and process and easily contaminates recycling streams.Which plastics to includeThat leaves three plastics that can be recycled in many facilities:Symbol 1 – Polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, widely used in soda bottles.Symbol 2 – High-density polyethylene, or HDPE, commonly used in milk jugs and laundry detergent bottles.Symbol 5 – Polypropylene, PP, used in products such as pill bottles, yogurt cups and plastic utensils.However, these aren’t accepted in some facilities for reasons I’ll explain.Taking apart plastics, bead by beadSome plastics can be chemically recycled or ground up for reprocessing, but not all plastics play well together.Simple separation methods, such as placing ground-up plastics in water, can easily remove your soda bottle plastic (PET) from the mixture. The ground-up PET sinks in water due to the plastic’s density. However, HDPE, used in milk jugs, and PP, found in yogurt cups, both float, and they can’t be recycled together. So, more advanced and expensive technology, such as infrared spectroscopy, is often required to separate those two materials.Once separated, the plastic from your soda bottle can be chemically recycled through a process called solvolysis.It works like this: Plastic materials are formed from polymers. A polymer is a molecule with many repeating units, called monomers. Picture a pearl necklace. The individual pearls are the repeating monomer units. The string that runs through the pearls is the chemical bond that joins the monomer units together. The entire necklace can then be thought of as a single molecule.The Conversation (CC BY-ND); Source: Environmental Protection AgencyDuring solvolysis, chemists break down that necklace by cutting the string holding the pearls together until they are individual pearls. Then, they string those pearls together again to create new necklaces.Other chemical recycling methods, such as pyrolysis and gasification, have drawn environmental and health concerns because the plastic is heated, which can release toxic fumes. But chemical recycling also holds the potential to reduce both plastic waste and the need for new plastics, while generating energy.The problem of yogurt cups and milk jugsThe other two common types of recycled plastics − items such as yogurt cups (PP) and milk jugs (HDPE) − are like oil and water: Each can be recycled through reprocessing, but they don’t mix.If polyethylene and polypropylene aren’t completely separated during recycling, the resulting mix can be brittle and generally unusable for creating new products.Chemists are working on solutions that could increase the quality of recycled plastics through mechanical reprocessing, typically done at separate facilities.One promising mechanical method for recycling mixed plastics is to incorporate a chemical called a compatibilizer. Compatibilizers contain the chemical structure of multiple different polymers in the same molecule. It’s like how lecithin, commonly found in egg yolks, can help mix oil and water to make mayonnaise − part of the lecithin molecule is in the oil phase and part is in the water phase.In the case of yogurt cups and milk jugs, recently developed block copolymers are able to produce recycled plastic materials with the flexibility of polyethylene and the strength of polypropylene.Improving recyclingResearch like this can make recycled materials more versatile and valuable and move products closer to a goal of a circular economy without waste.However, improving recycling also requires better recycling habits.You can help the recycling process by taking a few minutes to wash off food waste, avoiding putting plastic bags in your recycling bin and, importantly, paying attention to what can and cannot be recycled in your area.This article was originally published on The Conversation.

Bethesda say no official mod support for its Oblivion remaster As game rockets to top of Steam charts. Image credit: Bethesda News by Matt Wales News Reporter Published on April 22, 2025 After years of leaks, Bethesda's Oblivion remaster is finally here and it's already going down a storm - if its place at the top of Steam's best-sellers list is any indication. However, Bethesda has now shared one bit of potentially disappointing news, confirming there'll be no official mod support for its fancy new Oblivion. Bethesda has, of course, long been a strong proponent of the modding scene - part of the reason many of its games have remained so popular years after their launch - going as far as to release official modding tools, AKA Creation Kits, for the likes of Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Starfield. That won't be the case for Bethesda's newly shadow-dropped Oblivion remaster, however, with the developer confirming the news in an FAQ on its website, simply writing, "Mods are not supported for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered." That's potentially disappointing for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 players, especially given the increasing number of Bethesda titles able to access curated mods on consoles in recent years, but what this means for PC players - if anything - is a little unclear. Modders are currently poking around the Oblivion remake's innards to see what's what under its fancy Unreal Engine 5 hat, with one redditor having already discovered the remaster's files can be opened in the original The Elder Scrolls Construction Set. The lack of official modding tools might slow things down a bit, then, but maybe not for long. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - official reveal trailer.Watch on YouTube But mods or no mods, interest in Bethesda's Oblivion remaster is clearly high. It had reached the top of Steam's best-sellers list within an hour of release (it's currently enjoying a Very Positive rating on Valve's platform, with seemingly minimal complaints so far) and that's with its £50 price tag. It's also available as part of a Game Pass subscription on Xbox and PC. One group that won't be forking out for the remaster, however, is the team behind the Skyblivion fan modding project, which has spent the last few years remaking Oblivion in the Skyrim engine. It recently confirmed Bethesda's official remaster "changes nothing" as far as its own release plans go - and it took to social media earlier today, revealing Bethesda had just given game keys to the entire modding team.

One surefire way to impress your most refined guests is to serve a smattering of expensive cheeses on a charcuterie board, accompanied by a proper cheese knife set. No butter knives struggling to slice through a solid rind or chef’s knives cluttering the spread. We’re after the proper kitchen tools to carve up the $100 you spent on barely 10 ounces of your favorites—hammy Gouda, stinky Gorgonzola, a triple-cream Brie. Some of these picks fly solo—like the Sabre cheese knife from Porta—while others come in a full set, like the always-whimsical cheese spreader set from Mackenzie-Childs.

This is a crowd-pleaser pick in that the gold or metal set suits any tablescape and serves without seeking attention. It’s also a clever gift set for a fellow entertainer, as it matches with anything.Georg Jensen Sky Cheese KnifeA sculptural solo piece, this stainless-steel cheese knife from Georg Jensen goes above and beyond. Its ergonomically designed handle meets a cutout blade that keeps cheese from sticking to the knife, and the pronged tip allows you to pick up any cubes or crumbles along the way.Boska Oslo Cheese Knives (Set of 3)Boska has been making cheese tools from the Netherlands for a hundred years. Made from stainless steel and European oak wood, the quilted pattern of this knife set—including one for soft, one for semihard, and one for hard cheese—keeps cheese from sticking to the blade so you can enjoy your aperitivo hour without wiping tacky Brie residue from the knife with your fingers.

Many of the 4chan users that called me mid-Battletoad attack left messages. I listened to all of them. A pattern quickly emerged: young men, clearly nervous to even leave a message, trying to harass a stranger for, seemingly, the hell of it. Those voicemails have never left me in the 15 years I've spent covering 4chan as a journalist.I had a front-row seat to the way those timid men morphed into the violent, seething underbelly of the internet. The throbbing engine of reactionary hatred that resented everything and everyone simply because resentment was the only language its users knew how to speak. I traveled the world in the 2010s, tracing 4chan’s impact on global democracy. I followed it to France, Germany, Japan, and Brazil as 4chan's users became increasingly convinced that they could take over the planet through racist memes, far-right populism, and cyberbullying. And, in a way, they did. But the ubiquity of 4chan culture ended up being an oddly Pyrrhic victory for the site itself.Collins, like me, closely followed 4chan's rise in the 2010s from internet backwater to unofficial propaganda organ of the Trump administration. As he sees it, once Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022 there was really no point to 4chan anymore. Why hide behind anonymity if a billionaire lets you post the same kind of extremist content under your real name and even pays you for it?4chan’s “user base just moved into a bigger ballpark and started immediately impacting American life and policy," Collins says. "Twitter became 4chan, then the 4chanified Twitter became the United States government. Its usefulness as an ammo dump in the culture war was diminished when they were saying things you would now hear every day on Twitter, then six months later out of the mouths of an administration official."But understanding how 4chan went from the home of cat memes to a true internet bogeyman requires an understanding of how the site actually worked. Its features were often overlooked amid all the conversations about the site's political influence, but I'd argue they were equally, if not more, important.4chan was founded by Christopher “Moot” Poole when he was 15. A regular user on slightly less anarchic comedy site Something Awful, Poole created a spinoff site for a message board there called “Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse.” Poole was a fan of the Japanese message board 2chan, or Futaba Channel, and wanted to give Western anime fans their own version, so he poorly translated the site's code and promoted his new site, 4chan, to Something Awful's anime community. Several core features were ported over in the process.4chan users were anonymous, threads weren't permanent and would time out or "404" after a period of inactivity, and there were dozens of sub-boards you could post to. That unique combination of ephemerality, anonymity, and organized chaos proved to be a potent mix, immediately creating a race-to-the-bottom gutter culture unlike anything else on the web. The dark end point of the techno-utopianism that built the internet. On 4chan you were no one, and nothing you did mattered unless it was so shocking, so repulsive, so hateful that someone else noticed and decided to screenshot it before it disappeared into the digital ether.

Four years of classes, thousands of dollars in tuition and one freshly minted diploma — all to be outdone by a chatbot. As artificial intelligence floods the workplace, nearly half of Gen Z job seekers say their degrees have already been made obsolete by the rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT — and they’re wondering why they even bothered hitting the books in the first place. It’s a waste of time and money, according to respondents to a new Indeed report, which found 49% of Gen Z job hunters think their college education has lost value in the job market thanks to AI.  College is a waste of time and money — at least according to 49% of Gen Z job seekers, who say AI has tanked the value of their degrees, a new report finds. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Only about one-third of millennials feel the same way, and just 1 in 5 boomers have similar regrets, as CIO Dive reports. The tech tide isn’t turning anytime soon. Businesses are adopting AI faster than you can say “resume rewrite,” and young workers — especially fresh-out-of-college grads — are feeling the squeeze most. Indeed’s new report, conducted by Harris Poll and based on responses from 772 U.S. workers and job seekers with at least an associate’s degree, reveals a generational divide in career confidence.  Younger applicants are far more likely than their older counterparts to feel that AI has rendered their skills — and schooling — useless. Even worse, college degrees are rapidly losing priority in job listings. With companies increasingly dropping the four-year requirement, half of Gen Z now say college was a poor investment altogether. AI is reshaping jobs from the bottom up — changing tasks, pay, and even who lands the role, from interns to execs. Getty Images/iStockphoto “Every job currently posted on Indeed’s job board will likely experience some level of exposure to generative AI and the changes it represents,” Indeed Senior Talent Strategy Advisor Linsey Fagan warned readers in an email to CIO Dive. And employers aren’t just looking for folks with fancy paper — they’re looking for people who know how to work with the machines. “For any organization to succeed with AI, every single employee needs to have a basic understanding of AI and how their company uses it,” said Fagan. “Leaders play a crucial role in this shift by assessing their teams, listening to individual needs, and supporting their development.” The pressure to adapt is real. From entry-level roles to the C-suite, AI is transforming not just how people work — but what they work on, how they’re paid, and even who gets hired. Online learning platform O’Reilly saw AI course enrollment quadruple last year as pros rushed to master prompt engineering, machine learning and more. Getty Images Some employers are responding by offering upskilling programs, while tech vendors like Microsoft and Google are rolling out public training tools to get workers AI-ready — and help them stay that way. Online education platform O’Reilly reported a huge surge in demand for AI learning tools last year, with four times as many professionals enrolling in courses on machine learning, prompt engineering and other once-niche skills. “To truly unlock the potential of AI, organizations must invest in their people, offering training, hands-on experiences and opportunities to explore new tools in a supportive environment,” said Fagan.  “Organizations need employees to be motivated to try these tools and want to apply them in their day-to-day.” This means it’s best to learn the tech, or get left behind. For Gen Z grads facing a mountain of student debt and a job market where college degrees are being outpaced by coding bootcamps and chatbot know-how, it’s a bitter pill to swallow. The new diploma, it seems, is digital — and spelled A-I.

Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube809k Blizzard's Diablo series is tailor made for the Switch. Both Diablo II and Diablo III are fantastic on the hybrid console, and there are rumours out there that the latest entry — Diablo IV — may well be coming to Switch 2. And, in an interview with host of GamerTag Radio Danny Peña, series manager and former producer of the Gears of War series Rod Fergusson has said that the prospect of Diablo IV on Switch 2 is "something to look at." (via Nintendo Everything). While nothing has been confirmed yet, Fergusson told Peña that "It’s nice Switch 2 has the performance that can run a game like Diablo 4," and that there's an "opportunity" to bring the game to another console.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube809kWatch on YouTube However, Fergusson reiterates that nothing is guaranteed, but that it's "less around the hardware" and more to do with the live service aspect: "...live services on Switch have been a little bit challenging in the past, and so I’m hopeful that as they launch this June and as we look to the future that becomes easier and easier so it makes more sense to put a live service on the platform.” Of course, to tide you over, both Diablo II and III will be playable on the Switch 2 via backwards compatibility, so that'll be nice. But it sounds like Blizzard is keen to work with Nintendo again to bring its newest title to the next generation of Nintendo hardware, especially with Mouse Mode. As we approach the Switch 2's launch, we're sure more and more developers will be looking to Nintendo's new console to ensure that they can get their games on the system.
