Stripe’s payment infrastructure was built in a Palo Alto apartment by two Irish brothers from Limerick who, before they turned 25, had convinced Peter Thiel and Elon Musk to back them, and the company’s annual payment volume now exceeds the entire GDP of Ireland by more than three times

Stripe processed $1.4 trillion in payment volume in 2024 — roughly 2.6 times Ireland's GDP — and the founders built the first version in a Palo Alto apartment before either turned 25.

Как виртуальные машины общаются в облаке MWS Cloud Platform: разбираем Data Plane

В облачных сетях принято разделять два уровня: физический Underlay и виртуальный Overlay. Если Underlay — это фундамент здания (кабели, коммутаторы, базовая IP-связность), то Overlay — инженерные коммуникации: невидимые глазу, но без которых жизнь в доме остановится. От того, насколько эффективно и надёжно спроектирован Overlay, напрямую зависят скорость пользовательских приложений и стабильность всей платформы. Привет! Меня зовут Валерий Симаков, я разработчик команды Network DPL в MWS Cloud Platform. Сег Read more

Это конец, Света. Проблема изменения климата с позиции закона сохранения энергии

В статье раскрывается взгляд на проблему климата с позиции закона сохранения энергии и того, что истинная причина глобального потепления – это прямой нагрев планеты за счет производимого тепла. А изменения климата уже сейчас настолько масштабны, что мы успешно довели планету до катастрофы. И времени на ее решение у нас почти не осталось! Также развеивается миф о влиянии парниковых газов на температуру планеты и приводятся доказательства, что не температура планеты зависит... Read more

Как потерять спутник за 125 млн$: инструкция от NASA

NASA, 23 сентября 1999 года. К тому моменту аппарат Mars Climate Orbiter уже девять месяцев летел к Марсу. Вот-вот он должен был выйти на орбиту планеты.

Что же там произошло и кто оказался виноват в ошибке?   Читать далее Read more

In 1928, Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming returned from holiday to a stack of staphylococcus plates, noticed a blue-green mould had cleared a halo through the bacteria, and gave the leaking compound a name that would change medicine: penicillin

When Alexander Fleming returned to his St. Mary's Hospital lab in September 1928, a contaminated petri dish would change medicine forever. The story of how a blue-green mould, a rotting Peoria cantaloupe and an artist's eye for the odd produced the drug that has saved half a billion lives. Read more

By July 2025, ChatGPT had reached roughly 10% of the world’s adults and 700 million weekly users sending about 18 billion messages a week — but the bigger shift was that most of it wasn’t work, with non-work use rising past 70%

Here is the number that stopped me. By July 2025, ChatGPT had more than 700 million weekly active users sending around 18 billion messages a week.

In late 1971, Ray Tomlinson sat at two side-by-side PDP-10s in a Cambridge office and sent a message from one to the other across ARPANET, picking the @ symbol off his Model 33 Teletype because it was the only punctuation that couldn’t appear in a user’s name

On November 22, 1971, a 30-year-old BBN engineer named Ray Tomlinson stitched a file-transfer program to a local message tool and sent the first network email between two PDP-10s in the same Cambridge office. The separator he chose — the @ sign, picked because no human name could contain it — is now typed billions of times a day. Read more

Older adults who downsize their possessions late in life aren’t preparing for the end, they’re performing one of the oldest acts of love a person can perform, which is making sure the people they leave behind don’t have to sort through a lifetime alone

Late-life downsizing is often misread as surrender or morbid preparation. Looked at honestly, it's something else entirely: a deliberate, generous act by an older adult who remembers what it was like to sort through their own parents' house and is determined to spare their children the same burden.

It is a federal crime in America to sell a kidney to save a dying patient, yet a whole donated body cut into parts and shipped for research sits in a legal gap Congress never thought to close

The 1984 National Organ Transplant Act made it a federal felony to pay a donor family for a transplantable kidney. The same law left a parallel industry — whole bodies donated to non-transplant brokers and resold in pieces for thousands of dollars — entirely untouched. Read more
