Hugh Grosvenor became the 7th Duke of Westminster at 25 with a £9.9 billion fortune built on 300 acres of Mayfair and Belgravia — land his family has leased, but never sold, since 1677.

President Donald Trump has been on a single-minded, months-long quest to try and get one particular bill — the SAVE America Act — through Congress. It’s a bill that would transform voting registration and ballot-casting across the country by creating strict nationwide requirements to prove citizenship when registering, to show photo ID when voting, and […] Read more

Quantum security: The clock is already running

There’s a particular kind of risk that keeps me up at night: the kind we don’t feel day to day because it’s easy to label it “later“. Quantum computing, the technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems too complex for classical computers, has lived in that folder for years. I’m convinced we’re ... Read more

Обзор игровой эргономичной мышки IO by Red Square Ergo Pro

Бренд IO by Red Square выпускает различную периферию по доступным ценам. Беспроводная мышь Ergo Pro продолжает эту традицию и остаётся в категории доступных решений, хотя её стоимость приближается к верхней границе данного сегмента. Если коротко о данной мышке, то основной упор сделан на эргономичную форму корпуса, однако и внутренние характеристики не остались без внимания: начинка разработана с прицелом как на игровые сценарии, так и на повседневную работу, обеспечивая высокую точность...

Как быстро собрать полезный инструмент: транскрибатор видео с помощью вайб‑кодинга

После рабочих встреч часто остаются записи. В моем случае это записи Яндекс Телемоста.Запись есть, но пользоваться ей не всегда удобно. Если нужно что‑то вспомнить, приходится открывать видео, перематывать, искать нужный кусок, переслушивать. Если нужно передать встречу другому человеку, одного видео обычно мало.У меня часто бывает такой сценарий: нужно передать программисту контекст по задаче. Можно скинуть запись встречи и написать: «посмотри, пожалуйста». Но человеку придется самому смотреть видео, искат Read more

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

The generation that grew up with one shared phone in the hallway learned something their children never had to: how to be bored in front of other people without reaching for an escape

Picture a narrow hallway in a small apartment. A single phone is bolted to the wall, and a teenager twists the cord around her finger while her whole family pretends not to listen. If the call went quiet, she had nowhere to hide. She stood there, in full view of everyone, and waited for the ... Read more 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

People who find talk therapy genuinely useful are not wrong — but the gap between what the research claims and what the research shows is larger than the field tends to acknowledge

People who find talk therapy genuinely useful are having a real experience. The relationship formed across months or years of regular sessions matters. For a great many people, the life before and the life after are meaningfully different, and no honest accounting of what therapy does should start by dismissing that. The people who tell ...

Psychology says people who grew up working class aren’t less capable than their higher-class peers in job interviews — they’re simply less overconfident, and overconfidence is what interviewers keep mistaking for competence

Job interviews are supposed to measure competence. A 2020 paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests they often measure something else: how comfortable a person is with sounding certain. Peter Belmi, Margaret A. Neale, David Reiff and Rosemary Ulfe studied the relationship between social class and overconfidence, and argued that class-based inequality ... Read more Read more

Rethinking remote work: surveys show people will give up 5 to 8% of their pay to work from home, but a 2026 study links remote work to more isolation, anxiety and depression — suggesting they may be underweighting the cost

Here is something I have been turning over for a while. Most of us, given the choice, will give up real money to work from home — not metaphorical money but actual salary, the kind that pays rent. In a survey of more than 30,000 Americans, over half valued the option to work from home ... Read more Read more

People who reach their seventies genuinely content usually didn’t get there by forgiving everyone; they got there by quietly releasing the need for certain people to ever understand them

We tend to assume that the calm you see in some older people is the reward for a lifetime of forgiveness. The picture is almost cinematic: a person in their seventies who has made peace with everyone, hugged it out, and tied every loose end into a neat bow. It is a lovely story. It ...
