Lab-Grown Meat is Coming to Your Fridge This Year

From grass-fed to electricity-fed — When our ancestors first started to eat meat two million years ago, they didn’t do it out of pleasure.

Creatives Should Hunt Like Lions — Not Graze Like Cows

Intensity beats volume in this line of work — The way cows “work” is by chewing grass from dawn to dusk. It’s how they grow strong, conceive healthy calves, and produce quality milk. It’s also how the industrial age thought of productivity. Factory workers clock in at 9 and out at 5, and all they do in between is…

Confessions of a Toxic Boss

Life is too short to let a tyrant steal it away — His name is Bill and he’s about my age. I hired him shortly after quitting my corporate job to start an online business. “We’ll mainly create content,” I told him. “We’ll also do consulting in tech and decision-making.” Bill loved the idea and immediately signed the contract.

Facebook Is Killing Its Face Recognition System Due to ‘Social Concerns’

The company plans to shutter its long-criticized technology — In January 2019, millions of Facebook users posted before-and-after pictures of themselves under the hashtag “10YearsChallenge.” The idea was to score social media points by showing how the passage of time changed your looks.

DNA, Data Privacy, and You

Your DNA will soon be on file, if it’s not already.
