A TED talk watched tens of millions of times promised that standing like a superhero for two minutes would lift your testosterone and your nerve — yet larger studies found no such hormone effect, and the study’s own lead author walked it back

Stand like a superhero for two minutes before a job interview, and your body chemistry shifts to make you braver. That was the promise of one of the most-watched talks in TED’s history. The trouble is that the claim about your hormones did not hold up, and the scientist who first reported it later said ... Read more

Psychology says people who keep a paper calendar beside their phone aren’t resisting technology—they trust the version of time they can see all at once more than the version that disappears behind a screen

There is a particular kind of desk that looks as if it belongs to two eras at once. A smartphone handles messages, maps, calls and appointments. Beside it sits a paper calendar, open to the whole month, with crossings-out, arrows and small blocks of handwriting. The easy interpretation is that its owner has failed to ... Read more Read more

EVRTCK: тайловый дельта-кодек для удалённого рабочего стола — как мы убили H.264 для UI-контента

Я Артур Валиев, разработчик EVRTКогда мы форкнули RustDesk и начали строить EvertyDesk — корпоративный удалённый рабочий стол с поддержкой Hyper-V, Proxmox, VirtualBox и умным агентом — первое, во что упёрлись, было видео. H.264 — стандарт де-факто. TeamViewer, AnyDesk, Windows App — все используют H.264. Он работает. Но он lossy.

If you still write things down on paper instead of your phone, psychology says you display these 8 unique traits

The hardest part of watching a parent age isn’t the physical decline, it’s the strange moment you realise the person who spent decades protecting you now flinches slightly when you raise your voice

The visible losses of an aging parent — the knees, the hearing, the slower gait — are the ones everyone prepares you for. The harder loss is the quiet reversal of the emotional hierarchy, and the moment you realise your voice now lands on them the way theirs once landed on you. Read more

China’s AI boom isn’t producing the next Jack Ma — it’s producing a generation of one-person businesses running on generative agents, and Silicon Valley is misreading what that actually means

In one example from Shenzhen, a former product manager laid off from a major platform company is now running what she calls a business of one, using generative AI to write ad copy, design storefronts, and produce short-form video dramas from a repurposed industrial park where the rent is subsidised by the local government.

Psychology says people who struggle in classrooms but excel at reading a room, fixing an engine, or sensing what someone needs aren’t slow learners, they’re often operating in a form of intelligence the traditional school system was never designed to measure

There’s a particular word that gets stapled to certain kids early and never fully peels off. Slow. It shows up in report cards, in that lowered voice at parent evening, in the little sigh a teacher lets out before saying your name. For a lot of the people wearing that label, it was never accurate. ... Read more Read more

You blame Visa and Mastercard for the swipe fee, but they keep almost none of it — the fat cut, called interchange, flows straight to the bank that issued your card, and it barely exists in the countries that built their own payment rails

Visa and Mastercard get the blame for card fees, but the biggest slice — called interchange — flows straight to the issuing bank. Here's how the swipe actually splits, and who funds your airline miles. Read more

Washing a mug the moment you set it down isn't about tidiness — it's a small, repeatable act of self-management that hijacks the brain's avoidance circuitry before it has a chance to fire. The psychology of why the tiniest completions carry disproportionate weight. Read more

In 1859, a solar storm now called the Carrington Event pushed auroras as far south as Cuba and induced currents so strong in North American telegraph lines that operators disconnected their batteries and kept sending messages using only the electricity coming out of the sky

On September 1, 1859, a solar flare witnessed by Richard Carrington triggered a geomagnetic storm so powerful it lit up the tropics with auroras and let North American telegraph operators send messages using only current induced by the sky. Read more
