This Is Why You Should Try Ultralight Backpacking (2025)

wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2025-09-29 13:53:09

I first encountered the ideas of ultralight backpacking in 1994, in an article in now-defunct (and much-missed) Backpacker magazine. It was titled “Less is More,” by Mark Jenkins. (I still have a PDF copy I scanned years ago.) Jenkins wrote about a long trip across Europe and Africa. By the end, he and his traveling partner shed all the gear they thought they needed, save what they were wearing, their down jackets, and some spoons. While I had no desire to have all my gear stolen as Jenkins doe

Primer on FedEx's Distribution Network (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Benjamin Y. Fong 2025-09-29 21:18:14

*Updated July 1, 2025 FedEx was founded in 1971 as an express delivery service. An early motto captures its basic promise: “When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.” The Federal Aviation Act of 1977, which was intensely advocated for by FedEx founding president Fred Smith, allowed FedEx to bring larger aircraft into its fleet. Larger aircraft in turn allowed FedEx to concentrate most of its sorting operations in one hub, Memphis, where the company built its superhub in 1979. T

Do EA buyout talks hint at bigger industry troubles?

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-09-29 16:15:00

In Brief Why is Electronic Arts, one of the biggest names in the video game business, reportedly in talks to go private? Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier notes that video game companies are moving towards consolidation and that the deal could reflect EA executives’ broader concerns over the future of the industry. Following a period of rapid growth in the 2010s and during the pandemic, Schreier said gamers in recent years have “tended to stick with old favorites rather than purchasing new titles.”

Factor Protein Plus Meals Review (2025): Filling, Not Fattening

I have gone utterly rogue with this pork loin. Factor, HelloFresh's prepared meal delivery service, does not offer instructions for heating up its meals with an air fryer. But I've gone a little off-script while testing Factor's high-protein meal options, after my previous experience reheating Factor's never-frozen, packaged delivery meals using the microwave. The air fryer works better. Wings? Garlic chicken? Truffle filet mignon? Everything goes into the Ninja Crispi, which has become by far

Newly Released Epstein Files Suggest Elon Musk Was Invited to Notorious Island

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-09-29 07:20:51

House Democrats released a small but notable sample of documents obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein on Friday. And one line really sticks out. The line appears to be from a 2014 schedule for the late sex trafficker, dated Saturday, Dec. 6, 2014: “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)” It’s unclear which “island” the line may be referring to, but the obvious suggestion is that it could be a private island in the Caribbean owned by Epstein himself.

Corsair Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight Gaming Mouse Review: Impossibly Light

For the past few years, competitive gaming mice have been on a weight loss journey. For a serious ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse today, the “acceptable” weight is around 60 grams—in part because the mouse still feels rigid and substantial in-hand.
