Mark Zuckerberg Is Expanding His Secretive Hawaii Compound. Part of It Sits Atop a Burial Ground

wired.com Guthrie Scrimgeour 2025-08-25 21:00:00

As a child, Julian Ako would visit his maternal great-grandfather’s home near Pilaa Beach in Kauai, Hawaii, where he and his family would gather edible fungi that grow on kukui trees and collect seaweed and fish from the reef. For about a decade, that land has belonged to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is constructing a massive compound at an estimated cost that exceeds $300 million.

Foldable phones are thin and light in 2025, so why are these brands bending the truth?

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A Twitter user has shown that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner than the HONOR Magic V5. It turns out both HONOR and OPPO measure their foldables without the protective inner screen film. A closer look at product pages also reveals that some brands don’t include these layers when weighing their foldables. HONOR launched the Magic V5 in China earlier this month, and the company claimed that the white version was the world’s thinnest foldable phone at 8.8mm. H

Digital vassals? French Government ‘exposes citizens’ data to US'

France’s deepening reliance on US tech giants is raising alarms about digital sovereignty and exposing public data to foreign jurisdictions. In a French Senate report on economic and digital sovereignty, Senators accused the French State of “political fault”. That was in regard to outsourcing essential data infrastructure to US companies subject to US extraterritorial laws, including Microsoft, despite repeated warnings and alternatives. “France is subject to US extraterritorial law,” the repo

In the last 30 years or so, cybersecurity has gone from being a niche specialty within the larger field of computer science, to an industry estimated to be worth more than $170 billion made of a globe-spanning community of hackers. In turn, the industry’s growth, and high-profile hacks such as the 2015 Sony breach, the 2016 U.S. election hack and leak operations, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, and a seemingly endless list of Chinese government hacks, have made cybersecurity and hacking

Laminar Flow Airfoil

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-22 20:54:27

Laminar Flow is the smooth, uninterrupted flow of air over the contour of the wings, fuselage, or other parts of an aircraft in flight. Laminar flow is most often found at the front of a streamlined body and is an important factor in flight. If the smooth flow of air is interrupted over a wing section, turbulence is created which results in a loss of lift and a high degree of drag. An airfoil designed for minimum drag and uninterrupted flow of the boundary layer is called a laminar airfoil. The

I've been working on a complex multi-model database for a few weeks now, and recently I took time to simplify and test out an idea I had on a simple key-value database. I started with the basics: A hash table in memory, a simple append-only log for persistence and durability, and the classic fsync() call after every write to the log for durability. It worked, but wasn't as fast as it could be. In Kevo, that's the approach I use, but in Klay (not public yet, but will be open sourced when ready)
