The person who keeps their thermostat at the same temperature their parents kept theirs may not just be frugal — they may still be living inside a household rule that ended thirty years ago

Was 5 Years of Android Updates Enough for Pixel 6 and Galaxy S22?

In recent years, both Samsung and Google have committed to up to 7 years of software support for their top Galaxy and Pixel phones. That shift has been recent enough that we haven’t actually reached the 7-year mark for any phone. What we’ve seen instead is the last few devices that were promised 5 years...

Eveer notice how losing $100 stings about twice as hard as finding $100 feels good? That lopsided math, called loss aversion, quietly shapes how we gamble, invest, and cling to what we already own

I am not a psychologist or an economist, and nothing here is advice about your money or your decisions. This is one curious reader’s reading of the work, and the studies behind it are findings from particular groups of people, not settled laws about everyone. Here is a small thing I have noticed about myself. ... Read more Read more

There’s a German idea that explains why the most globally dominant companies in their field are ones you’ve never heard of — quiet, family-run, mid-sized firms that would rather own an obscure world market than ever be famous

If you own a dog, there is a reasonable chance its retractable lead was made by a company called Flexi, based in a town in northern Germany, which by its own account and most industry estimates holds around 70 percent of the world market for exactly that product and does nothing else. Its founder’s stated ... Read more Read more

An American pays a $969 list price for the same insulin-class weight-loss pen a German gets for around €59 — and the reason traces back to a century-old Danish rescue mission

Ozempic lists for roughly $969 in the United States and around €59 in Germany — the same pen, the same molecule, made in the same Danish factory. The reason winds back to a Nobel laureate's 1922 trip to Toronto. Read more

Roughly one in eight American adults is now on a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic — a class that grew out of a hormone one Bronx doctor found in Gila monster venom, then patented himself after his own employer passed on it

Roughly one in eight American adults is now taking a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic, Wegovy or Zepbound. The class traces back to a hormone isolated from Gila monster venom by a Bronx doctor who paid a dollar to file the patent himself after his employer passed on it. Read more

Thought of the day by Helen Mirren: “You die young or you get old. There’s nothing in between.”

For most of human history, the average person did not live to see their thirty-fifth birthday. As late as 1900, the global average life expectancy was around 32 years. Getting old — the thing people now complain about, dread, spend fortunes trying to slow — is, in demographic terms, an almost brand-new experience. Many of ... Read more Read more

I use an AI as an external hard drive for my own memory, and the strange part is how much better my thinking got once I stopped asking my brain to store everything

I started using AI as an external memory. Somehow, it made me feel more human — which feels like it should be a bigger contradiction than it is, but here we are. For the last couple of months, my life has felt like pure chaos. Not dramatic chaos, necessarily. Not the kind where one huge ... Read more Read more

When someone reaches retirement age without close friends, the easy assumption is that they must have pushed people away. We imagine a cold person, a difficult person, someone too guarded or demanding to build lasting bonds. Psychology suggests another possibility. Some people arrive in later life without close friends because they were never short on ... Read more Read more
