We're one step closer to communicating with aliens ... allegedly.
Scientists from the SETI Institute, which looks for extraterrestrial intelligence, say they have "conversed" with a humpback whale — and that "whales are a proxy for aliens."
"They're intelligent creatures with a language that is foreign to us," one researcher said.
To be clear, they didn't exactly have an intelligible chat with the Alaskan whale. It made several sounds that might have just been 36 hellos in 20 minutes.
"But it was definite communication," they say.

Aim high has a whole new meaning at this company.
Business owner Gene Marks says he's really, really unbothered by employees' personal decisions during work hours — even if that means doing drugs.
"My company is virtual," he wrote. "For all I know they’re micro-dosing, toking, snorting, injecting and doing shots all day.
Marks did specify that he's OK with a substance "as long as it's legal," and employees are still expected to complete their responsibilities.
"If there's a performance problem, then I'm involved."
Still, it's a remarkable contrast from many big companies that are instituting surveillance tactics or draconian policies.

This would be one significant misunderstanding.
Many of the world's most prominent astronomers are set to re-examine basic assumptions about the universe — including the theory that it's constantly expanding.
It comes as researchers have found evidence the universe may be enlarging more quickly in some areas than others and that one area of the night sky might be larger than another. Other recent studies suggest flaws in the standard model of physics and our conception of dark energy.
That means it's time to re-evaluate the 1922 model that underpins much of what we (think we) know.
"I find that frankly annoying that this principle hasn’t been checked," one cosmologist said.

It's one giant step for moonkind.
Scientists have a dizzy explanation for why the Moon is comprised of such weird and heavy rocks: It turned itself inside out.
It crystalizes long-unanswered questions about what happened after the Moon formed 4.5 billion years ago from cosmic debris.
Researchers point to the high concentration of titanium in moon rocks as evidence that heavy minerals initially sank to the bottom of our satellite before returning to the surface.

SpaceX executives, including CEO Elon Musk, have said its broadband service Starlink reached "breakeven cash flow."
But new reporting suggests the company's accounting was "more of an art than a science," and that Starlink isn't actually profitable.
The issue lies with how SpaceX accounts for the costs involved in launching the satellites, which are significant.
Musk has argued that Starlink revenues will help fund human transit to Mars.
Even as the company prepares to rapidly increase the number of satellites it sends — and sales grow sharply — questions remain about how the numbers all add up.

Stealth mode: exited.
Gabe "Gaben" Newell has reportedly been working on a brain-computer interface for years, and his company's website, Starfish Neuroscience, has been updated to include BCI.
It follows years of comments from Newell about brain chips, including on gaming — handy for a gaming executive — and the ability to edit feelings.
Since then, however, it seems Newell has shifted its focus from a headset to much smaller implants, making for fascinating potential competition with Neuralink.

There might be a new leader for worst product of the year.
The moment the review embargo lifted for Humane's AI "pin," which supposedly can take over many tasks from phones, the internet was flooded with negative reactions.
It often failed to report the weather, one reviewer said. Automated translations — key in marketing materials — didn't work, a second reported.
And a third recalled that when he asked the pin to buy a book, it instead attempted to message one of his contacts randomly.

This graphite is ready to take flight.
Researchers in Japan have gotten a small piece of "gravity-free" material to levitate almost perfectly still above a grid of magnets.
And it doesn't rely on any external power sources.
If scaled successfully, the scientists behind this say, it could herald a new generation of highly sensitive sensors useful to academics and consumers.
The next step: Cutting out even more "external disturbances" like electrical noise and vibrations.
