1 death reported at Burning Man while festival attendees remain stuck in the Nevada desert from heavy rains
  • People tend to acquire wealth over time? There is a solid correlation between wealth and age, so this shouldn't be surprising in the least. And especially those who had time/energy to spare to attend festivals earlier are especially predisposed for acquiring now wealth down the line. Assuming that they return over the years, all of this is pretty much to be expected.

  • Are you kidding me? That is a sample distance of nine years. Within nine years, you see a rise of median age of five years. So what does this tell you? A lot of the original attendees stuck around, while some dropped (probably due to having families, getting out of it etc.) and some younger ones joined.

  • Maui resident: 'We still have dead bodies floating in the water'
  • I wouldn't talk about a meltdown of society here - this is a natural disaster, not the sacking of Rome. In due time help will arrive, people will bury the dead and rebuild. Though I agree it makes you appreciate how we take things for granted until one day they aren't.

  • We’re now finding out the damaging results of the mandated return to the office–and it’s worse than we thought
  • I'm all for hybrid work models, but this reporting smells fishy: why don't they mention the contrasting scores for companies not enforcing return to office? If they were markedly different, wouldn't you want to underscore that? The author then going on a self-promotion spree for his hybrid work consultancy does not inspire confidence in the findings either ...

    As much as I love hybrid work myself, this style of lazy and frankly biased reporting only serves to undermine confidence in actual success stories. Say no to lazy "journalism".

  • Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter
  • I suspect that hardly any mass market consumer cared about security, sadly. And what exactly do you mean with "functional design"? It's all slabs of screen with a charging port across the industry these days, or did you mean any features added/missing?

  • Americans will need a visa to visit Europe starting in 2024. Here's what you should know.
  • I think a key benefit here is that the pre-registration allows for faster processing at the border itself, cutting down on queues at the airport. Singapore runs a system where after preregistration you can just walk through an automated (though somewhat finicky) scanner. No queues after arrival, I basically stepped off the international flight and went straight to the city with barely a wait.
