Nobody talks about why middle class habits — the overscheduled weekends, the obsessive home improvement, the constant low-grade planning for a future that never quite arrives — aren’t ambition, they’re the anxiety of people who grew up close enough to precarity to remember it, and have been quietly running from that memory ever since

Кажется я выяснил кто открыл Америку

История открытия Америки Христофором Колумбом звучит как хороший сценарий для фильма. История открытия Америки викингами ещё до Колумба звучит как ещё один хороший сценарий для фильма. Есть и более прозаичная третья версия, о которой вы, скорее всего, никогда не слышали, потому что она наиболее вероятна, и при этом в слишком невыгодном свете выставляет историю официальную и её авторов.Задолго до Колумба ...Португальцы открыли острова Зелёного Мыса около 1460-го года, а Азорские...

Stockholm’s Fika Jobs just raised $4M to kill the resume with AI video interviews — and the part nobody is pricing in is what happens when employers see your face before your skills

The round was led by Luminar Ventures, with participation from Alliance VC and King co-founders Sebastian Knutsson and Riccardo Zacconi, the duo behind Candy Crush. Read more
