It was so instinctive I didn’t even realize I was doing it. Didn’t every student at Oberlin College regularly make the hour-long drive from rural Ohio to downtown Cleveland just to pick up a few cannoli at Corbo’s Bakery? Or wake up early all through their 20s for handmade mozzarella and cavatelli from Caputo’s Fine Foods in Brooklyn? What young adult doesn’t keep a wine journal full of…

Inside the world’s most expensive yachts are interiors and deckings made out of teak, a tropical hardwood that is desired both for its resistance to water and rot, and for the fact that it has become a status symbol for the wealthy. The thing is, they’re not supposed to have it at all, and now the world’s richest assholes are looking for a new material they can flex with, according to the BBC. Since 2021, it has been illegal to import teak to the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union. The reason is two-fold. First, teak contributes to deforestation,…

The result is VR that feels less like a novelty and more like a platform you can actually spend time in.That said, not every headset is built for the…

When news broke that James Harden was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Darius Garland on Tuesday night, the headlines immediately started to write themselves. When the going gets tough, Harden gets going. As in, somewhere else.

The solution: data centers in space. “In the long term, space-based AI is obviously the only way to scale,” Musk said.Musk isn’t the only one looking…
