It’s Telegram formally fusing its 950 million monthly active users to a single blockchain, creating structural demand for TON that didn’t exist under a community-run foundation. Durov’s exact words: “Telegram to replace the TON Foundation as the driving force behind TON and…

Even in death we are only lim­it­ed by our imag­i­na­tion in how we want to go out. There are now ways to turn our corpse into a tree, or have our ash­es shot into space, or press our ash­es into dia­monds–I believe Super­man is involved in that last one. And now for the music lover, a com­pa­ny called And Viny­ly will press your ash­es into a playable vinyl record. You like that pun­ny com­pa­ny name? There’s more: the busi­ness lets the dear depart­ed “Live on from beyond the groove.” Hear that groan? That’s the deceased lit­er­al­ly spin­ning in their grave…on…

David Epstein, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of ​The Sports Gene​ and ​Range​, has a new book out called ​Inside the Box​. As with all of Epstein’s books, I really enjoyed it. He’s one of the best storytellers currently working in idea writing. There was one chapter in particular, however, that captured my attention as being uniquely well-suited to the themes we discuss here. It focused on the ideas of a somewhat eccentric physicist-turned-management guru named Eliyahu Goldratt, who in the 1980s popularized a framework for understanding industrial productivity that he dubbed the “theory of constraints.” Here’s how…

Add in lightsaber chopsticks (because takeout deserves drama)…

Camille, the academy’s star boxer, stands slightly apart from the group with a more watchful, inward presence, while Matteo, presents a more rowdy and restless energy.  Get more Little White Lies The story kicks in when Camille’s rise to greatness is halted by a near-fatal fall he suffers while in the woods with Matteo.

A few weeks ago, social media skeptics received their best news in years.In KGM v. Meta, a jury found Meta and Google negligent for their role in fueling a youth mental health crisis. Now, six million dollars in damages is basically meaningless to companies that gross hundreds of billions in revenue annually. But the reason this case has gotten so much media attention is for what it might represent. Some have compared the case to the beginning of litigation against Big Tobacco last century, which culminated in a $206 billion master settlement with more than 40 states. In this case,…
