This introverted CEO says the workplace is built for extroverts—she uses these 2 simple strategies to thrive Her solution was to treat extroversion like a practicable skill rather than an unattainable personality trait, she says. At Stanford, that meant setting small goals for herself, like speaking up at least three times per week in a given class. She kept practicing at her first tech job in 2002, as a senior product manager at PayPal. Continued here

Money is flying into this cash parking spot investment account - does it make sense for you? The ideal customer for high-interest savings ETFs has $5,000 to $10,000 or more in cash to park for months, is attracted by yields of 2.8 per cent to 2.9 per cent and is comfortable with a high level of safety that falls short of deposit insurance. If you use an online broker that charges nothing for stock and/or ETF trading, you’ve got a good reason to consider these products. Continued here

I Hate How Much I Don't Hate Nick Viall's Dating Advice At the end of January, just a few days after ending (for good this time) a “situationship,” I was scrolling through TikTok when the algorithm proved its freakish powers. In my feed appeared a handsome man with light brown curly hair and a beard. He sat on a green armchair in his living room wearing a black hoodie and looked like he just rolled out of bed. “I know the person you just stopped hanging out with sucks, and they hurt you, and I’m sorry,” he said in a deep, pillow-talk-y mumble while looking directly at the camera. I peered over my shoulder, as though someone was watching me. How did he know? Continued here

Would You Exit The Group Text? I used to feel a sense of comfort when a little red dot on my iPhone’s home screen showed 42 unread text messages. This was earlier in the pandemic, when we were still Zooming for pleasure, and everything, especially when I’d see my friends again, felt uncertain. A group text with six idiots I met in college was suddenly a lifeline; scrolling through hundreds of their messages a day gave me oxygen. I wanted to know how they felt about every viral news story. Had they seen the photos of Channing Tatum giving Zoë Kravitz a piggyback on his bike (yes)? Were they ditching oat milk for whole milk like all the other hot girls (no)? Thoughts on Hilaria Baldwin’s secret surrogacy (please stop)? We did selfie roll calls and sent videos of ourselves singing songs from Les Misérables. Then, this spring, the messages started to sharply peter out. Questions like “What’s everyone doing?” would go unanswered. Days passed on the chat with virtual crickets until earlier this summer, when one friend boldly declared, “This thread is D.E.A.d.” No one disagreed. Continued here

New Data Suggests Our Fundamental Model of the Universe Is Wrong, And Scientists Are Racing to Solve It We live in a strange universe filled with unexplained phenomena that have perplexed humans since time immemorial. Scientists have pieced together a rough guide to the cosmos—known as the Lambda cold dark matter model (ΛCDM), or more simply, the standard model of cosmology—but many mysteries don’t seem to fit into this otherwise well-corroborated framework, especially as our view of space has gotten ever more precise in recent years.

Ask Ethan: Has the JWST disproven the Big Bang? A recent revolutionary assertion has gone viral, claiming that the Big Bang never happened, and that the latest data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has proven it. The notion of the Big Bang has never sat well with many — all the way from its earliest incarnations in the 1920s (via Georges Lemaître) and the 1940s (from George Gamow; apparently you had to be named “George” to realize this) — and has been continuously challenged since its inception. However, the evidence has remained overwhelmingly in its favor ever since the 1960s, and no other serious competitors have ever been able to reproduce its successes. Which leads one to wonder: what are the merits, if any, of this latest claim? Could it be true, and if so, how and why? Continued here

How Hip-Hop Has Shaped The Jewellery Landscape The history of celebrity ornamentation can be split into two distinct eras: before and after bling. The phrase, first popularised by hip-hop stars in the late 1990s, has gained global notoriety. The calling card of rap, R&B and grime stars, hip-hop jewels – and their makers – receive shout-outs in hit songs and go viral on social media, such as fans arguing over Kanye West’s Jesus pieces or Cardi B’s Audemars Piguet collection. It’s taken decades for the mainstream to embrace the bold aesthetic of hip-hop jewellery and the shift it has caused within the wider industry – a subject fully explored in Taschen’s upcoming book Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History.

'Come Back Tomorrow Night and I'll Tell You' Words and stories have always been profoundly important in George Miller’s films. Despite their terse, post-apocalyptic desolation, the Mad Max movies are filled with myths, references to myths, and scenes of myths being created before our very eyes. In Lorenzo’s Oil, a very ill boy who has been basically paralyzed for much of his life has to express, through the power of a blink, that he wants his mom to stop reading him children’s books and get him started on something more grown-up. In Miller’s worlds, the stories we tell, and the stories we seek, say a lot about who we are as people. His latest film, Three Thousand Years of Longing, adapted from A.S. Byatt’s 1994 story “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye,” feels like a journey to the heart of this obsession. It follows a British narratologist (Tilda Swinton) who, while attending a conference in Istanbul, acquires a glass bottle which houses a djinn (Idris Elba), who in turn tells her a series of interlocking tales about how he got here. And though these tales have the old-fashioned, fable-like charm of something from the Thousand and One Nights, together they form a surprisingly modern (and quietly moving) journey of love and loss.

This Is How We Quit Big Oil At the end of the first quarter of 2021, as the CEOs of the three biggest U.S. oil and gas companies presented their firms’ earnings, investors fired off a range of questions about how they were addressing climate change. The market had already come to view fossil fuels as old, dirty energy, and after oil prices cratered in 2020, owing largely to the pandemic, investors wanted to know how these companies would adapt. They asked about whether carbon capture could be an engine to grow revenue and how the companies viewed the climate-policy landscape. “We are committed to providing products to help customers reduce their emissions,” said Darren Woods, the CEO of ExxonMobil. “Across the globe we’re helping economies decarbonize.” Continued here

16 Subtle Signs Something More Serious May Be Wrong With Your Health Most of us perform at least a little bit of due diligence to maintain our health. We watch what we eat, we exercise, we see a doctor once a year, and we monitor ourselves and our bodies for abnormalities and ominous signs. You can absolutely take that too far, and tip over the edge over into hypochondria. But you can also do the opposite, and ignore the little signs that might indicate a larger problem with your body. No one wants to waste a trip to the emergency room or go to a doctor more than absolutely necessary, so ignoring changes in our health and hoping they just go away on their own is a common reaction, unless those changes are major and alarming. But not all signs of declining health are big and bold—some are downright subtle, and easy to ignore or miss entirely. The things listed here aren’t necessarily signs that you’re in serious trouble, and you should always check with your physician before jumping to any conclusions. But if you notice any of these changes, it’s a good idea to at least talk to a doctor about them and make sure it’s nothing serious. Continued here

Revised: Odds of falling home prices in your local housing market, as told by one interactive map “We saw [home] prices moving up very very strongly for the last couple of years.

How much will it really affect residential investment? Not really sure.

This is an Edgar Allan Poe story, so things aren’t going well. Your ship is trapped in a mile-wide whirlpool that grinds whales into pesto. Your younger brother just drowned in a perfunctory half-sentence. Your elder brother is clinging to a ringbolt near the bow. You’re astern, hanging on to a lashed-down empty water cask. The ship rides the maelstrom like it’s in the Indy 500, keel centripetally pinned to the black lane of water. Up to one side is the whirl’s edge, open sky, a brilliant moon. Down to the other is a rainbow, which smiles across the roiling mist of the abyss.  Continued here

America Has a Rabid-Raccoon Problem The story of America’s rabid raccoons begins in Florida. Rabies was once rarely found in raccoons, but in the ’50s, an outbreak began spreading from the Sunshine State. It diffused first to neighboring states and then made a great leap north into the mid-Atlantic, possibly via the shipment of over 3,500 Florida raccoons to hunting preserves in Virginia. From there, rabid raccoons ambled their way as far north as Canada and as far west as Ohio. The East Coast became “one solid belt of raccoon rabies,” says Charles Rupprecht, the former chief of the CDC’s rabies program. Continued here
