Forget the dorm-room founder. The real winners are often twice that age.

The image is by now so familiar it feels like fact. A twenty-something in a hoodie, hunched over a laptop in a dorm room or a garage, types out the lines of code that will turn into a billion-dollar company by the time he’s thirty. Zuckerberg at Facebook. Jobs at Apple. Gates at Microsoft. The ... Read more

Palm oil hides on supermarket labels under more than 200 different names — from sodium lauryl sulfate to glycerol stearate — and most shoppers have no idea they’re buying it in shampoo, chocolate and ice cream

Palm oil sits in roughly half of all packaged supermarket products, but it almost never appears on the label as "palm". The WWF lists more than 200 derivative names — from sodium lauryl sulfate to glycerol stearate — that disguise where the molecule came from, leaving shoppers with an impossible cross-referencing task at the shelf.

Palm oil supplies over a third of all the vegetable oil on Earth while using less than a tenth of the land devoted to oil crops — the most efficient fat humanity has ever found, and the most controversial

A single oil palm tree yields up to ten times more oil per hectare than soy or sunflower, which is why palm supplies over a third of global vegetable oil on less than a tenth of oil-crop land — and why its expansion into Sumatra and Borneo has become one of the hardest environmental tradeoffs on Earth.

ASML in Veldhoven ships each EUV lithography machine in roughly 250 crates aboard multiple Boeing 747s, the mirrors inside are polished so finely that scaled to the size of Germany the largest bump would be under a millimetre tall, and every advanced chip in every iPhone on Earth passes through one of these machines before it reaches a pocket

ASML insists it can account for every one of the 314 EUV lithography machines it has ever shipped — and that none of them, nor any component designed for one, has reached China. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says otherwise. The fight reveals just how concentrated the world's chip supply chain has become. Read more

A landmark Psychological Bulletin review found that happiness doesn’t simply follow success. Across hundreds of studies, happier people were more likely to go on to succeed in work, relationships, income, and health — suggesting we may have been taught the formula backwards.

There is a familiar workplace story that runs quietly underneath a lot of ambition: first you succeed, then you get to be happy. The promotion comes first. The money comes first. The stable relationship, the recognition, the healthier routine, the sense of arrival. Happiness is treated as the receipt, not the engine. It is what ... Read more Read more
