As someone who only sparingly uses dark mode (almost exclusively at night), I kind of like full black mode. It’s much easier on the eyes at night. That said, I don’t even bother using dark mode in the day because full black mode makes every

Speaking anecdotally I think this has some truth in it. A lot of people I know seem to loathe San Francisco and only put up with it because they’re required to live here for a job. If that’s the true reason for an exodus, then I hope it ben

That’s a product of this limited time format. Without interruptions, nothing prevents the executives from wasting even more time and avoiding answering the question.

I was a subscriber back in 2008-10 and then again from 2016-17. I found it odd that somewhere in the middle, they seemingly stopped (or slowed down) doing the special reports that were a deep dive on a big topic. Those were always my favori

Could be misremembering but I recall reading that bipedalism in humans correlates with a narrowing of the birth canal, potentially increasing mortality during childbirth and also selecting for infants that are underdeveloped compared to oth

For more on this, I highly recommend Anand Giridharadas's 2018 book "Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World" on the problems behind billionaire philanthropy. It feels more and more relevant in a post COVID

This just looks like PR for the benevolent feudal lords. Rather than "giving back", maybe these people should stop taking away in the first place.
