Elon Musk Grills Robinhood CEO Over GameStop Trading Freeze GameStop investors early Monday, grilling Robinhood's CEO on precisely why the trading app had halted buying for GameStop just as the stock was rising meteorically.

"Do you want to hear the real story from Vlad [from] Robinhood about what happened on the Street with GameStop?" Musk asked on Clubhouse, an exclusive audio app that has become popular with an elite set of Silicon Valley-ites.

Elon Musk says bitcoin 'on the verge' of being more widely accepted The comments come after the Tesla Inc CEO's use of a "#bitcoin" tag on his Twitter profile page led to a 14% jump in the cryptocurrency on Friday. "I am a supporter of bitcoin," Elon Musk said during his debut on the invitation-only social media app Clubhouse.

Time travel into the future is totally possible not).

And what's even cooler is that you can skip forward in time if you feel like it.

Well, let me be clear, you need to do a little bit of engineering first.

We know through the physics of Einstein's special theory of relativity that you can trade motion in space for motion in time. If you're standing perfectly still, you're moving through the dimension of time at a particular speed (the speed of light, for those of you who are curious). As soon as you start moving through space, however, you slow down your rate of moving through time.

In other words, the faster you move in space, the slower you move in time.

This means that moving objects, like a clock on a rocket, run a little bit slow. One second for someone in a moving spaceship lasts a little bit longer than a second for someone staying still.

The trick is that in order for this to have any sort of noticeable impact, you have to get close to the speed of light, which is really hard to do—to give you some perspective, astronauts that orbit the Earth at tens of thousands of miles per hour are off by only a microsecond or so from our clocks on the ground.

Our fastest human spacecraft don't even crack a tenth of a percent of the speed of light. But if you could somehow spend a good amount of time hugging close to that ultimate speed limit in the universe, the slower your clock will run. You will travel through time into the future. Nothing will feel different for you, but after a couple of years' journey you would return to the Earth to find our clocks advanced by thousands or even tens of thousands of years, depending on how fast you go.

So the future is yours, and you get to choose how quickly you reach it.

"Body image" is the way that someone perceives their body and assumes that others perceive them. This image is often affected by family, friends, social pressure and the media.[1]

People who are unhappy with their bodies and don't seek healthy nutrition information may develop eating disorders. "Eating disorders" are unhealthy relationships with food that may include fasting, constant dieting, or binging and purging.[2]

Body image is closely linked to self-esteem. Low self-esteem in adolescents can lead to eating disorders, early sexual activity, substance use and suicidal thoughts. You can post encouraging notes in your school bathrooms to brighten your classmates’ day. Sign up for Mirror Messages.[3]

Approximately 91% of women are unhappy with their bodies and resort to dieting to achieve their ideal body shape. Unfortunately, only 5% of women naturally possess the body type often portrayed by Americans in the media.[4]

58% of college-aged girls feel pressured to be a certain weight.[5]

Studies show that the more reality television a young girl watches, the more likely she is to find appearance important.[6]

More than 1/3 of the people who admit to “normal dieting,” will merge into pathological dieting. Roughly 1/4 of those will suffer from a partial or full-on eating disorder.[7]

In a survey, more than 40% of women and about 20% of men agreed they would consider cosmetic surgery in the future. The statistics remain relatively constant across gender, age, marital status, and race.[8]

Students, especially women, who consume more mainstream media, place a greater importance on sexiness and overall appearance than those who do not consume as much.[9]

95% of people with eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25.[10]

Only 10% of people suffering from an eating disorder will seek professional help.[11]

Elon Musk’s 10 greatest inventions changing the world While some of the companies Musk has founded are more famous than others, he has been actively inventing things since before he was a teenager. Early efforts in software and software companies have since evolved into consumer products and mass-transportation visions. And although some of those visions may seem impossible at first glance, Musk’s track record has muted many doubters. His breakthrough thinking has helped him amass a net worth around $13.5 billion.

But there’s more to Musk than just the companies you’ve heard of. Here’s a look at his wide range of revolutionary ideas, patents, products and companies.

In a video showcasing the Model S, Kilowatts founder Ryan Levenson mentions that he spotted the Model S outside of Tesla HQ in Palo Alto, California while getting lunch and test driving a new Model 3. While approaching the Model S, he immediately realized that the car's headlights were different than current production cars and turned around to follow it. That's when he noticed that the car had a different rear diffuser, new wheels, and sported wider arches.

Apple overtakes Amazon to become world’s most valuable brand, while Tesla is the fastest-growing

Apple has overtaken Amazon to become the world’s most valuable brand for the first time in five years, according to a global report.

The value of the technology giant’s brand has climbed 87% in the past year to $263.4 billion, the Brand Finance Global 500 2021 Index found. The rise was down to Apple’s diversification strategy, which has seen the company expand into digital and subscription services and potentially into electric cars in the future, said London-based brand valuation consulting firm Brand Finance.

Apple AAPL became the first U.S. company to reach a $2 trillion market cap in August last year

7 Signs It's Time to Upgrade Your iPad The streamlined design no longer impresses you, and as for the lack of app choice… has your iPad been left behind? How Long Does an iPad Last?

This is not a question with a simple answer. In many ways, it depends on how regularly you use the device.

In terms of hardware and battery life, an iPad that used only occasionally is more likely to last. But there are also operating system, app, storage, and hardware issues to consider.

Starlink Satellite Constellation of SpaceX satellite bus and requisite customer ground transceivers to implement a new spaceborne Internet communication system.

SpaceX has said it will offer speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s, with latencies between 25 ms and 35 ms. Those latencies would make SpaceX's service comparable to cable and fiber, while existing satellite broadband services have latencies of 600 ms or more, according to FCC measurements. Commission) for a license to operate a constellation of 4425 non-geostationary satellites (NGS) in orbits ranging from 1100 and 1300 km. However, when they issued their regulatory filings in 2017, the plan called for the deployment of nearly 12,000 satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). 1)

However, competition from other satellite internet providers forced SpaceX to expedite their plans. By the Fall of 2018, the company announced a new plan to deploy their first batch of 1600 satellites to a lower altitude at 550 km. The development team also introduced a simplified design so that the first batch would be ready to go no later than the June of 2019.

Rather than broadcasting in two bands ("Ku" and "Ka"), the simplified design of the first batch will broadcast only in the "Ku" band. At present, SpaceX hopes to launch 2200 satellites in the next five years, which will act as a sort of prototype while the company develops an improved design for full-scale production.

Eventually, this will result in a constellation that offers the kinds of performance outlined in the company's original plan. This presents numerous challenges, not the least of which is the fact that they will need to conduct launches every month for the next five years, averaging 44 satellites per launch.

Second, there's the matter of attrition, as satellites will begin to deorbit after a few years and SpaceX will need to replace them regularly in order to maintain its constellation. In fact, Hugh Lewis – the UK Space Agency's representative on the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee – recently stated that in order to maintain a constellation of just 4425 satellites, SpaceX will have to launch that many every five years.
