On Monday, a brand-new Reddit account popped up on the widely read forum r/AmItheAsshole, where users have their personal disputes arbitrated by strangers. This particular user asked if they had crossed a line by “refusing to babysit my stepmother’s kids because I have my own job and responsibilities.” The post itself was succinct, straightforward, and grammatically clean, explaining a situation in which the person’s stepmother and father often expected them to provide childcare on little notice, eventually leading to an argument.“Now there’s tension at home, and I’m starting to wonder if I handled it the wrong way,” the redditor concluded.…

Following Benson Leung’s USB Type-C cable reviews is a pretty good way to ensure you don’t end up with a dangerous cable. But what if you already bought one and aren’t sure of its quality? You’re in luck. USBCheck is an app that’s designed to help determine whether your USB Type-C cable is up to spec. The app checks the current draw of a cable while it’s plugged into your phone. If it notices that the cable is receiving the correct amount of power then it’ll spit back a positive result. If not? It spits a negative one. We’re not…

It’s tricky to make any predictions about the cost of a technology that doesn’t exist yet. But when there’s billions of dollars of public and private funding on the line, it’s worth considering what assumptions we’re making about our future energy mix and its cost. One crucial measure is a metric called experience rate—the percentage by which an energy technology’s cost declines every time capacity doubles. A higher figure means a quicker price drop and better economic gains with scaling. Historically, the experience rate is 12% for onshore wind power, 20% for lithium-ion batteries, and 23% for solar modules. Other…

Forbes AI 50 List Shows Data Emerging as the Core of AI Value Forbes recently released its 2026 AI 50 list that showcases the most influential and fast-growing AI startups right now. If you look at this year’s list, you would notice that the focus is no longer just on building the most powerful models. Many of the companies making headway are solving for deployment, data access, and cost.
