Diplomats from around the world concluded nine days of talks in Geneva — plus a marathon overnight session that lasted into the early hours of Friday — with no agreement on a global plastics treaty. During a closing plenary that started on Friday at 6:30 a.m. — more than 15 hours after it was originally scheduled to begin — nearly all countries opposed an updated draft of the U.N. treaty that was put forward by the negotiating committee chair, the Ecuadorian diplomat Luis Vayas Valdivieso.

Disney Plus is the place to go to for epic streaming entertainment. After half a decade, the Disney-owned streamer has built a reputation for having a bevy of must-watch content. You could even say that, like Netflix before it, the expansive entertainment platform has become somewhat of a utility in my home. That shouldn't come as a surprise for those in the know; it's easily one of the best streaming platforms out there. Anything with the name Disney on it can come with a set of expectations.

WIRED’s Guide to Buying a Used Plug-In Hybrid

With sales growth lagging, it’s a weird time in the electric vehicles market. It’s also, oddly enough, a good time to experiment with the plug. The Donald Trump administration put the kibosh on several US federal policies aimed at boosting the development, production, and purchase of new-energy vehicles. Still, $4,000 tax credits for used battery-electric cars and plug-in hybrids are available for qualified vehicles and buyers (more on that later) until the end of September. If you want to tak

There's a new smartphone promising to protect your privacy: the Up Phone, from a company called Unplugged. Except it's not new.

The Folk Economics of Housing

Abstract Why is housing supply so severely restricted in US cities and suburbs? Urban economists offer two primary hypotheses: homeowner self-interest and political fragmentation. Homeowners, who outnumber and have organizational advantages over renters, are said to lobby against development to protect their property values. The fragmentation hypothesis emphasizes that development's negative externalities are borne locally while most of the benefits accrue regionally or nationally, leading local
