People who keep volunteering for airport runs, takeout pickups, and holiday logistics aren’t always just generous, sometimes being useful is the only role that lets them feel like they aren’t imposing

At sixty-two, the realization that compulsive helpfulness is not generosity but a decades-old strategy for earning a seat at the table — and what it takes to retire the reflex.

Бесплатно и без СМС: как корпоративные food-карты могут стать идеальной мишенью для социальной инженерии

Во множестве организаций существует такая фича социальной поддержки и удержания сотрудников, как корпоративные предоплаченные карты питания, или «foodcard», как их еще называют. Раз в квартал бухгалтерия перечисляет на них относительно небольшие суммы, которых хватает на кофе, аспирин и барбариски. Финансовым посредником выступает одна из расчетных некоммерческих организаций (НКО) в нашей стране. Работодателю это выгодно: схема дешевле, избавляет от проблем и снижает налогообложение, а НКО получает свой зак Read more

Meta's Threads celebrates 500 million users with a bunch of new features

There was a time when many Twitter alternatives popped up, and Meta couldn't resist throwing its hat in this game too, with Threads. Threads may have started as a way to capture people leaving Twitter after Elon Musk bought it, but it's now all grown up, it seems. The service has reached 500 million monthly active users, having added about 100 million since last August. Undoubtedly, its ties with Instagram... Read more

We tend to picture learning as something for the young, but a study of 416 Canadians over sixty found that those who kept taking courses reported greater well-being — the staying with it, not the subject, seemed to matter most

I caught myself thinking something the other day that I’m not proud of. A friend mentioned that an older relative of his had just signed up for a class, and my first reaction, the one I had the sense not to say out loud, was a quiet “what’s the point at that age?” It’s an ... Read more Read more

France To Stop Certifying Products Without Quantum-Safe Encryption

Starting in 2027, France's cybersecurity agency ANSSI will stop certifying security products that lack quantum-resistant encryption, effectively forcing government agencies and critical infrastructure operators to phase out older cryptographic systems. Reuters reports: Samih Souissi, ANSSI's chief of staff, said at the France Quantum conference that the agency would halt such certifications from 2027, and that businesses should be buying only quantum-safe products by 2030. ANSSI approval is required for use Read more

MIT Media Lab and OpenAI tracked nearly 1,000 ChatGPT users for four weeks, but the early finding cut against the comfort the chatbot promised — heavier daily use was tied to more loneliness and emotional dependence

Picture someone at the end of a long day. The apartment is quiet. They open ChatGPT, not to draft an email or debug a script, but to say something close to: here is how I am feeling, tell me I am not crazy. The reply comes back warm and patient, with no delay or sigh ... Read more Read more

Sea otters keep a favourite rock tucked in a loose pouch of skin under each forearm, carry it between dives, and use it as a personal anvil to crack open shellfish, making them one of the few animals known to keep and reuse a single tool

Sea otters carry a favored rock in a loose pouch of skin beneath each forearm, balance it on their chests like a personal anvil, and reuse the same stone across dives — a tool-keeping behavior almost unheard of outside great apes and a few birds. Read more

When Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific in 1969, the recovered astronauts were sealed in a quarantine trailer for weeks because nobody could rule out lunar microbes, while around their capsule the ocean teemed with creatures far stranger than anything feared from the Moon

In July 1969, Apollo 11's crew was sealed in an Airstream trailer for 21 days while NASA tested moon rocks for life that wasn't there — meanwhile, the ocean beneath their splashdown site held vampire squid, 40-meter siphonophores, and single-celled organisms the size of dinner plates. Read more

The Wollemi pine was known only from ancient fossils until a park ranger rappelled into a canyon outside Sydney in 1994 and found a grove still alive, and the exact location is now a state secret guarded by Australian rangers

In 1994, a New South Wales park ranger abseiled into a hidden canyon outside Sydney and found a grove of conifers last seen in the fossil record 90 million years ago. The Wollemi pine's wild location remains undisclosed — and for biological reasons that have nothing to do with theatre. Read more
