Reflected radio waves can reveal a lot of information about things moving nearby. And, at a global scale, satellites can track ships that have "gone dark" for nefarious purposes. 

And this tech is simple and cheap - in this video, a single chip setup could read her heart rate and breathing through walls. https://youtu.be/oBDX_dPvq4A?si=O1TRbAuD-R2VUI-y

Sleeping with even a little light promotes diabetes

Just one night of exposure to 100 lux (equivalent to a streetlight shining through a curtain) during sleep impaired glucose tolerance the next morning. It also "increased heart rate and sympathetic [nervous system] activity during the entire sleep period." 

This was studied in 20 healthy young adults 18-40 years old, and the moderate-light condition was four 60-watt incandescent overhead ceiling light bulbs (a total of 100 lux).

Why do we stretch when we wake up?

We stretch when we wake up to reset our muscles and nervous system after hours of stillness. This instinctive behavior—known scientifically as "pandiculation"—promotes blood circulation, lubricates joints, and primes the brain for movement.

Resetting the Body: During sleep, your muscles relax, blood pressure drops, and joints can become stiff. Stretching signals the brain to awaken from its low-power state and increases blood flow to warm up stiff tissues.

Lubricating Joints: Movement stimulates the production of synovial fluid, which acts as natural lubrication for your joints to prevent pain and stiffness.

Rebooting the Nerves: Pandiculation is a three-step process (contraction, release, and lengthening) that reboots the nerves and muscle spindles controlling muscle tone, helping you achieve better posture and mobility for the day.

Releasing Feel-Good Chemicals: Stretching stimulates the release of endorphins, naturally boosting your mood and easing the unconscious physical tension that can build up overnight.

This process is controlled by the hypothalamus and involves the release of chemicals like cortisol and dopamine, which give you an energetic jump-start, inducing reductions in chronic stress severity and reduced cortisol. 

Has the beneficial effect been studied prospectively? 

Forcing people to transition from a brief, instinctive morning yawn-stretch into an intentional, structured stretching routine significantly improves physical, mental, and vascular health.

-regular static stretching physically reduces stiffness in major arteries.

- 10 minutes of daily stretching counteracts muscle degradation and prevents drops in explosive muscle performance caused by prolonged sitting or sedentary lifestyles.

-Overnight, muscle fibers naturally shorten and tighten. Holding a stretch for the physiologically optimal 30 seconds forces these fibers to physically lengthen, improving overall range of motion and long-term posture.

I think you'll like this guy's inventiveness and the number of quirky mechanical devices he has in his home. 

His invention, among others, was to add huge weights on top of a hydraulic water reservoir to maintain a constant and higher pressure as the reservoir neared empty. 

He had telephones, central heating, and electric light decades before others did. 

SpaceX IPO doubts

Trading view had an article about the SpaceX IPO - maybe wait a bit. 

Space company has never been profitable; posted a 2025 loss on tiny revenue and a Q1 2026 loss on, again, tiny revenue. The valuation target? Gargantuan.

IPO Dreams

SpaceX finally cracked open the vault and revealed its financials ahead of what could become the biggest IPO in market history (likely coming in June). The company is reportedly eyeing a valuation north of $1.5 trillion and could raise more than $80 billion in a Nasdaq debut under ticker “SPCX.”

Investors expecting a money-printing rocket factory got a bit of atmospheric turbulence instead. SpaceX lost $4.9 billion in 2025 on $18.7 billion in revenue. In Q1 2026 alone, losses hit $4.3 billion on just $4.7 billion in sales. That's not exactly "to the moon" accounting.

The prospectus confirms what many suspected: SpaceX is really two businesses stitched together with titanium bolts and ambition. One is a mature launch-and-satellite operation. The other is a cash-hungry Al chatbot operation after the merger with xAl, which has been burning through billions building data centers.

Starlink Pays

SpaceX's legacy space operations brought in $4.1 billion in revenue last year, though they still weren't profitable. Meanwhile, Starlink - the satellite internet division generated a chunky $11.4 billion in revenue and continues to be the company's financial workhorse.

Then there's xAI, Elon Musk's artificial-intelligence venture folded into the broader empire earlier this year. xAl generated $3.2 billion in revenue in 2025, but investors are laser-focused on its aggressive spending as it races against rivals in the Al arms race.

In market jargon, this is a “growth-at-all-costs” story. Investors are being asked to ignore today's losses in exchange for tomorrow's potentially massive dominance in Al, space infrastructure, internet connectivity, and maybe Mars Wi-Fi subscriptions somewhere down the line.

Musk, the Unfireable

If investors hoped public ownership might dilute Elon Musk's influence, the filing said: absolutely not. Musk controls roughly 85% of the voting power thanks to supervoting Class B shares carrying 10 votes each. In practice, SpaceX will remain firmly in Elon's grip.

The filing also revealed Musk owns 849 million Class A shares and 5.6 billion Class B shares. Combined with insider holdings, executives and board members control about 86% of the company's voting power. Activist investors need not apply.

There's also a lockup twist. Musk and major insiders agreed not to sell stock for 366 days after trading begins, while other early investors face a 180-day lockup. In short, that's plenty of hype, limited float, gigantic valuation, and volatility potential dialed all the way up.
