Something’s very wrong with the traditional 9 to 5: it doesn’t work. Scandinavian countries dominate the World Happiness Report — Norway being the third most productive country in the world and Helsinki winning the title of the best city for work-life balance. And their standard working week is less than 40 hours long. They work a whopping 359 hours less than Americans every year. How I began working 5-hour workdays (by accident) When I quit my job in the great resignation of 2020 to become a freelance writer, I was determined to continue working eight-hour days. I was a “real”…

There are two types of ebike riders: those who want as much power as possible, weight be darned, and those who prefer something that balances power with a natural riding experience. The Urtopia ebike, a futuristic carbon fiber ride currently crowdfunding on Indiegogo, is the latter. The bike is currently being offered at an introductory price of $2,000 and the company plans to ship to early backers in February 2022. As of the publication of this article, the bike has raised over $1 million, with 26 days left on its campaign. I’ve been able to test ride a prototype unit…

A new theory published in the APS physicsjournal seeks to explain the origin and proliferation of dark matter through the introduction of a simple concept: what if dark matter can turn regular matter into dark matter? Up front: Physicists have long suspected that dark matter has either existed for as long as the universe or that it was created as a byproduct of the Big Bang event. We’re not quite sure, but that’s because nobody’s ever directly observed dark matter. We assume it exists because we can see objects and events we can observe reacting to something mysterious. Scientists who believe…

Unicorns, rainbows, seed, pre-seed, angel… my head was spinning as I changed fields a couple of years back. After a decade in PR, comms, and journalism — having worked mostly for the ‘big guys’ with their big partners like Sony, P&G, HP, Cisco, Netflix, etc. — I entered the crazy world of startup PR. I was a total novice here, honestly thinking VC meant ‘video chat’. But the switch meant more than learning a few new acronyms. When you say to a journalist “Hi, I’m from Google,”  well, they probably know that without you needing to introduce yourself. When you…

Here’s something you don’t read every day: Apple is making it easier to fix your broken iPhone 13. It’s a rare instance of Apple backtracking from one of its hostile moves towards the right to repair. When the iPhone 13 was released, repair specialists and enthusiasts quickly realized that changing the display would stop Face ID — you know, the phone’s most important security feature — from working completely. In order to maintain Face ID functionality, repair shops would have to remove a tiny chip over from the original screen, significantly complicating what is likely the most common repair; iFixit…

“If you want something done right, do it yourself,” the saying goes. That’s the strategy Microsoft appears to be taking with its new Surface Laptop SE, by far the cheapest PC the company has ever made (the excellent Surface Laptop Go started at $549). It’s a shot across the bow to Google’s Chromebooks, with which Microsoft is taking matters into its own hands, rather than relying exclusively on partners making budget devices. For years, Microsoft has tried to stave off Chrome OS’ increasing presence in education. Chromebooks are cheap, reliable, and relatively easy to deploy in an educational environment. Despite…

Pac Man‘s a simple protagonist. He doesn’t have a scruffy beard or a worried look in his eyes. He’s doesn’t sling out quips or one-liners. He eats dots. That’s it. That’s sort of how black holes work. They only do one thing: gobble up literally everything. But, just like Pac Man, they can only eat the stuff that’s right next to them. Black holes and stars collide often and, usually, this results in cosmic mergers. Basically, the black hole eats the star or the star becomes a black hole and merges with the other black hole to form a single,…

Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are about two-thirds of the way to producing excess power with a nuclear fusion reactor. If you didn’t just leap out of your seat, that’s okay. The science community’s been teasing fusion for decades and, like a lot of technologies, it’s always about another decade away. But here’s the thing: this time really is different. There are numerous fusion projects closing in on “ignition,” the point where a reactor produces more power than it takes to run. We might really be a decade away from a useful fusion reactor. But, unfortunately, that would…

The looming arrival of Spotify Wrapped always arouses excitement — and terror. If, like me, you have exquisite taste, the end-of-year breakdown of your listening habits is an eagerly-awaited reminder of your discerning judgment. If, however, you have a tin ear for music, it’s time to feverishly hit repeat on some pretentious tracks that you don’t actually like. Those who neglect this duty shall be granted a Wrapped that leaves them ostracized by their friends and family (sorry, grandma). For those of you in the latter camp, I have some tragic news: you’re already too late. Tracking for this year’s…

The day has finally arrived. People have been asking for a recording feature on Clubhouse since the app launched. And after maintaining the “real-time audio-only” stance for months, the app is introducing Replays. This new feature will let you record your sessions, so that anyone can play them later. The company says that users will get to experience the same stuff as live rooms like “leave quietly, and watch the dynamic of the stage and audience shift and evolve throughout the discussion, including PTRs, mic taps, and all the special moments that only happen here.”  This sounds like a podcast,…

The Chinese market is one of the most appealing for brands looking to expand into new territories. And it’s clear why — the ecommerce market in China is $2.7 trillion, four times the size of the US ($843 billion), and is growing twice as fast. What’s even more exciting is that the share of ecommerce sales to total retail is expected to be at about 52.1% in 2021, growing from 44.8% just a year before. While this is promising, I’ve found that there’s a widespread delusion among many executives that since there are 1.4 billion people in China, they’ll definitely…

Whenever I unbox new wireless headphones for review, the first thing I do is connect them to a charger so I can have a nice long listening session the next day. But rather than connect a charger to the Urbanista Los Angeles‘ USB-C port, I simply set the headphones near a window. By the time I actually listened to them, they’d been topped up by nothing other than the power of the sun. It kind of feels like magic. Solar power obviously isn’t anything new, but beyond that cheap calculator you used in high school, most of us aren’t accustomed…

US Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, recently blamed the perceived loss of American masculinity on liberal ideologies, video games, and pornography. Speaking at the National Conservatism Conference in Florida last week, Hawley asked the crowd: Still, can we be surprised that after years of being told they are the problem, that their manhood is the problem, more and more men are withdrawing into the enclave of idleness, and pornography, and video games? In the wake of his speech, Hawley’s decided to call “masculinity” one of his “signature political issues.” And he recently reiterated his position during an interview…

In the past, Telegram has attempted to earn money by creating a cryptocurrency operation, but the idea failed. Now, the firm is relying on an age-old idea to get some cash in the bank: ads. Over the weekend, the app’s founder, Pavel Durov, said that the firm will now allow ads on its platform in a limited capacity. Thankfully, you won’t see any ads in your private chats or channels: Telegram will not show promotional messages in your chat list, private conversations or groups. Advertising will affect only large channels – services where there is already advertising, and the support…

If your startup has an app, the fight for the user is a fun and creative process… but it’s also hard. App discovery doesn’t just happen on the app store; teams are competing for crafting the most compelling ads. Creative ideas for advertising do not come out of thin air — it is a systematic process that can be decomposed into various methodologies. But let’s be honest, startup founders and teams don’t always have that many resources to spend on applying special methodologies. Luckily, there are much simpler rules that will help filter out the bad ideas before spending the…

This article is part of our reviews of AI research papers, a series of posts that explore the latest findings in artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has proven that complicated board and video games are no longer the exclusive domain of the human mind. From chess to Go to StarCraft, AI systems that use reinforcement learning algorithms have outperformed human world champions in recent years. But despite the high individual performance of RL agents, they can become frustrating teammates when paired with human players, according to a study by AI researchers at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The study, which involved cooperation between…
