Happy Bobby Bonilla Day to those who celebrate. For the 16th straight year, the Mets are paying Bonilla $1.19 million on July 1 due to one of the most bizarre deals in sports history. After Bonilla, now 63, hit just .160 across 60 games for the Mets in 1999, the team decided to buy out his deal in January 2000 and agreed to defer the remaining $5.9 million sum with 8 percent interest spread across 2011-2035.  Led by then-owner Fred Wilpon, the Mets were in the midst of being scammed by Bernie Madoff when the team made the deal with…

This wasted energy results from inefficiencies in the mining process and increasing competition among bitcoin miners.In a new study published May 26 in the journal PNAS Nexus, the researchers aimed to provide a theoretical model to measure patterns within the networks powering bitcoin’s distributed ledger system.But they also calculated that in 2025, around 16,000 megawatts was wasted by fruitless bitcoin mining attempts, where competing mining efforts exert massive computational power to obtain the…

On America’s 250th birthday, venture capitalist and Silicon Valley kingmaker Marc Andreessen is shamelessly optimistic about our country — and making the same audacious bet the Founding Fathers did: that our nation’s best days are ahead. But the present American revolution is technology, and the danger isn’t primarily from foreign rivals but the country handicapping its own builders. “We’re the best country in the world,” Andreessen told The Post. “The idea that America has both the level of size and scope and solidity and resources that we have, but that we still have that level of risk-taking spirit in the…

Melania Trump made a rare statement on a Supreme Court ruling, praising the high court for upholding a West Virginia law that restricted transgender females from taking part in girls’ and women’s sports. “As many of you may know, I fully support the LGBTQIA+ community.  But we must also ensure that our female athletes are protected and respected,” the first lady posted on X, noting she first voiced this stance in her memoir. “America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls’ sports fair. Both ideals are essential,”…

Love Island USA‘s Caleb McDaniel is just as confused by the villa’s code words for sex as the audience is. During the Tuesday, June 30, episode of the Peacock show, Caleb asked what “French fry” means and Trinity Tatum replied that it was “Deejaying.” No more information was provided for Caleb after multiple Islanders were caught hooking up on the night cameras.
