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.

Я сделал полностью локальный Telegram Wrapped после того, как у меня угнали фейк с тремя переписками

Всем привет, начиная с прошлого лета я потихоньку клепал свою версию Telegram Wrapped.Началось всё максимально тупо. Я увидел в TikTok рекламу очередного сервиса, который обещал красиво проанализировать мой Telegram. Проверять такое на основном аккаунте мне показалось сомнительной идеей, поэтому я зашёл туда с фейка, на котором было буквально три переписки.В итоге фейк угнали.Да, аккаунт с тремя чатами.После этого я задумался: почему вообще ради красивой статистики человек должен отдавать кому‑то код...

Data Storytelling на примере нестандартного дашборда: РПЛ и знаки зодиака

Что если задать BI-системе вопрос, который выходит за рамки рутинной аналитики? Будет ли она также эффективна? Эта идея родилась из корпоративного шуточного спора: шутили над качествами сотрудника «Рака», а в статистику попали также и другие «носители» знака зодиака. Мы в Modus решили проверить закономерности на данных, так как это наш профессиональный рабочий инструмент и сфера интереса. Взяли статистику всех игроков Российской Премьер-Лиги, добавили знаки зодиака — и посмотрели, что получится.... Read more

Xiaomi reportedly ups its yearly smartphone sales target as it senses memory market normalization

The surge in memory/storage prices due to the ongoing supply shortage has led to higher smartphone prices, which has also affected the business. Xiaomi, for example, shipped 33.8 million smartphones in Q1 2026, a 19.2% decline from Q1 2025. However, a new report claims that Xiaomi is expecting the situation to improve as it has raised its yearly smartphone sales target from around 90 million to 110 million units. The... Read more

In a 1978 study of major lottery winners, researchers found that within about a year the winners rated their daily pleasures — a good meal, a morning coffee — measurably lower than people who had never won a cent

Philip Brickman's 1978 Northwestern study tracked 22 Illinois lottery winners and found that within a year, they rated ordinary pleasures — coffee, conversation, a good meal — lower than people who had never won. The finding launched the concept of the hedonic treadmill. Read more

On Earth your inner ear works every second of your life so quietly you never feel it — but in orbit there is no gravity left for it to measure, so it simply falls silent and the brain rebuilds around the loss

The vestibular system in each inner ear works a thousand times a second for a human lifetime without ever asking to be noticed. In orbit it goes silent, and the brain performs one of the fastest rewirings in adult neurology — a rewiring that reverses, painfully, the moment the capsule lands. Read more

Thought of the day by Stoic philosopher Epictetus: “Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants”

I have moved between Ireland and Southeast Asia year after year for a while now, and one thing has crept up on me quietly. My wants have shrunk. Not because I decided to want less. They just receded on their own, and the strange part is they receded most not in the cheaper country but ... Read more Read more

Most people assume Dubai became rich from oil, but oil now accounts for less than 1% of the emirate’s GDP — down from 50% in the 1980s — with tourism, trade, and aviation doing the work instead

Dubai is routinely treated as an oil city because it is wealthy, Gulf-based and visually associated with the wider United Arab Emirates. Its economy now looks very different. Trade is its largest directly measured sector, while finance, transport, property, tourism and aviation carry much of the rest. The familiar claim that oil has fallen from ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who remain kind despite a difficult life aren’t weak or in denial — they’re often running on a kind of strength that only forms under sustained pressure, the way certain metals do

Some of the gentlest people I have ever met had lives that would flatten most of us. A woman who worked the pass at one of my restaurants comes to mind. She had every reason to be hard. Instead she was the one who noticed when a new hire hadn’t eaten, who covered a shift ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who regularly eat alone in public without self-consciousness aren’t loners, they’re often the ones who have learned to distinguish between solitude and loneliness, a distinction that takes most people decades to make

“Table seven, one cover.” That was the line that used to make my floor staff sigh. One cover means a single diner. Somebody eating dinner with nobody across from them. We treated it as a tiny logistics problem, which tells you plenty about how the world reads a person who shows up to a nice ... Read more Read more

Marcus Aurelius warned that the desire to be remembered was pointless because both the famous and those remembering them would disappear, a thought written by one of the most powerful men alive

Marcus Aurelius wrote one of his clearest warnings about ambition in the fourth book of the notes now called Meditations. A person longing for fame after death, he argued, forgets that everyone preserving the memory will also die. Their successors will die too, until the chain of remembrance ends. The observation came from the Roman ... Read more Read more
