Tech giants claim new cooling systems could slash data centers' water use — 2dPublic scrutiny over the water and electricity used by data centers is pushing tech giants to pursue lower-water cooling, led by Nvidia’s DSX closed-loop system that pumps warmer liquid directly through servers to cut water use. While this can dramatically reduce water consumption (with 2025 global use around 222 billion litres and potential growth to 644 billion litres by 2030 if unchanged), the trade-off is higher energy use in cooling and the need for robust heat management in extreme conditions, as the industry weighs efficiency gains against total environmental footprint.

Dana Whitfield Liquid cooling has been used in supercomputers for years, glad it's finally trickling down to regular data centers.

Olivia Rodrigo accuses DHS of using her song as a distraction — 5dOlivia Rodrigo says the Trump administration uses public feuds with musicians as a distraction from its policies, following the DHS’s use of her song to promote immigration enforcement. She has spoken out against the move, called it awful, and has organized advocacy efforts and highlighted other artists who have criticized similar uses of their music.

Sam Okafor Good for her for speaking up. Musicians should have a say when their work gets used to sell policies they never agreed to promote.

U.S. Studies Flag Rising Cannabis Addiction RisksHealth — 5dCannabis use patterns matter: polymodal users who consume cannabis in multiple forms show higher daily use and greater risk of cannabis use disorder, with rising rates of moderate-to-severe disorder across ages, including older adults and youth. Although cannabis is detected in about 21% of overdose deaths, it rarely causes death by itself and is usually involved with other substances, while frequent users may also experience a heightened morning cortisol level, suggesting a potential link between regular use and stress-response changes.

White Sox lean on bullpen for 10-1 win amid rotation concerns — 2dThe White Sox have leaned heavily on a dominant bullpen, using an opener and relievers to win series twists and keep pace with the Twins, while also facing questions about starting depth as the rotation struggles to reach six innings. Manager Will Venable has reshaped the rotation for rest and matchups, moving Burke to extra rest and using Bryan Hudson as the opener to preserve arms for crucial late-season games.

Elena Vasquez Venable's creative with the opener stuff, gotta give him credit, but the rotation depth issue isn't going away just because of one good night.

Aging chimps once used in vaccine research now get full health checkups in Liberia — 3dA group of chimpanzees once used in hepatitis B vaccine experiments in Liberia are undergoing comprehensive health checks at the Humane World for Animals’ Second Chance Chimpanzee Refuge, as part of long-term care to ensure their wellbeing in old age. The more than 400 animals, now aged about 30 to 35, were part of research from the 1970s to the early 2000s, and the sanctuary has assumed permanent responsibility since 2015 to monitor their health and safety while they live on mangrove islands.

Elena Vasquez These animals gave a lot to science whether they consented or not. Least we can do is make sure they're comfortable now.

Vietnam, Myanmar pledge deeper defense ties, bar hostile use of territory — 4dVietnam and Myanmar agreed to deepen defense and security cooperation, including officer training, disaster response, information sharing, and joint efforts against transnational crime, while pledging not to allow either side’s territory to be used against the other. They will expand collaboration through ASEAN and Mekong frameworks and broaden economic ties in areas like agriculture, telecommunications, energy, and infrastructure, as Vietnam pursues a broader strategic partnership agenda with Russia and France and related space initiatives.

Nicole Hardy Curious if this economic side, ag and telecom deals, actually moves faster than the defense talk usually does.

Russia, North Korea open first road bridge as analysts warn of military use — 1dMultiple reports confirm Russia and North Korea opened their first road bridge across the Tumen River, linking Russia’s Primorsky region with North Korea and expanding road access for cargo and people. Mishustin called the project historic and said it will boost trade, tourism, and broader strategic ties, while observers note it could enable faster military logistics as part of deeper Moscow-Pyongyang cooperation.

Dana Whitfield Boost trade and tourism" - sure, right up until it's boosting tank columns instead.

Reports say US PrSM missile killed civilians in Lamerd, target unclear — Aug 31, 2026Airwars and the Associated Press mapped the Lamerd strikes and found that US-made Precision Strike Missiles killed civilians up to 50 meters from detonation and caused damage far beyond that radius, prompting warnings from weapons experts that such missiles should not be used near populated areas. The US military has acknowledged using PrSMs in Iran but denies striking Lamerd, while analysts emphasize the weapon’s midair fragmentation and potential for widespread harm as production continues for broader use.

Tom Gallagher If the Pentagon is denying it hit Lamerd while also confirming PrSM use in Iran, someone's math isn't adding up.

Buffett says market downturns can be a buying opportunity for investors — 2dAcross the articles, bear markets are shown as recurring, roughly every six years, with savvy investors advised to stay calm, plan for volatility, and focus on long-term outcomes. They converge on Warren Buffett’s approach: treat stocks as ownership in durable businesses, use downturns to buy quality at discounts, and maintain optimism about long-run gains.

Rachel Meyers Easy to say when you've got billions sitting on the sidelines to deploy. Regular folks panic-sell when their rent money is on the line.

NYC Plans AI Ban for K–8 Students — Sep 2, 2026New York City will ban AI use for students from kindergarten through eighth grade and impose strict screen-time limits, with AI becoming available in ninth grade only for approved educational activities; teachers will still be allowed to use AI for lesson planning, and companion chatbots are barred. The policy, prompted by concerns over mental health and development and following criticism of earlier guidelines, will be refined after stakeholder feedback with a report due to inform the final rules.

Jared Kim Ninth grade cutoff seems arbitrary, but I get the idea of easing them in once they've built real skills first.

Shanahan jokes 49ers are 'in the future' before historic Rams matchup in Australia — 1dSan Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan used the Australia trip to joke about being “in the future” and dodging injury updates ahead of the Week 1 clash with the Rams, while underscoring the broader strategic edge of their preparation. The team is embracing the Melbourne international opener with time-zone acclimation, strong fan support, and a focus on making the most of the unique venue and schedule.

Priya Raman Dodging injury updates is classic coach stuff, future joke or not. Curious how the Rams handle the travel too.

Stacker ranks best high schools in five states using seven factors — Aug 31, 2026Stacker profiles the top high schools in Iowa, Illinois, Colorado, California, and Arkansas using Niche rankings that weigh seven factors, with academics as the primary component alongside culture, sports, clubs, resources, and stakeholder surveys. In Arkansas, the top-ranked school is the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts.

Elena Vasquez Would be nice to see how these rankings hold up year to year instead of just one snapshot, curious if the same schools stay on top.

REC’s ₹500 crore tokenized bond draws nearly eight times oversubscription from top banks — 1dREC Ltd issued India’s first pilot tokenized corporate bond under SEBI’s sandbox, raising ₹500 crore with an 8x oversubscription and settling the issue on the same day with listings on NSE and BSE, using RBI’s wholesale CBDC for settlement. The deal, aided by HDFC and ICICI among about 20 institutional buyers, leverages Demat 2.0 and a permissioned distributed ledger to boost settlement speed and transparency, signaling potential deepening of India’s debt markets.

Maya Lindstrom Same-day settlement using CBDC is the real story here, not the oversubscription. That's a big infra shift.

Philippines warns China may exploit US-South Korea drill cuts — 2dPhilippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro warns that Beijing could exploit cuts to US-South Korea drills to reassert itself in the Indo-Pacific, while Manila has received definite assurances that US commitments to the Philippines remain unchanged. He also notes Manila’s expanding security ties with the US and other partners as tensions in the region persist and cautions about China’s use of influence operations.

Rachel Meyers Manila is smart to diversify partners instead of relying on one ally, spreads the risk around.
