5 things I learned from 5 years at Vercel july 2025 – lee robinson After five years at Vercel, I just finished my last week. What a ride! When I joined in 2020, we were 30 people and had crossed $1M ARR. Today, Vercel is 650 people and over $200M ARR. During that time, I went from IC to VP and worked on DevRel, product, community, docs, and more.

Best Carpet Cleaners: I Used Real Life Messes as the Ultimate Test

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-31 22:45:00

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is the best overall carpet cleaner I tested. It was the only carpet washer that effectively removed pet urine and pet odors from my carpet. It also came in second to the Tineco Carpet Cruiser with tough stain removal. But for $300 less than the Tineco, its price-to-value ratio is unbeatable. Why I like it: While the Tineco Carpet Cruiser edged out the Bissell HydroSteam on the tough stain removal test, the Bissell blew away the competition on pet odor testing.

Cloning Came to Polo. Then Things Got Truly Uncivilized

wired.com Matt Reynolds 2025-08-02 03:00:00

To play polo at the highest level, you have to love horses or be filthy rich. Ideally both. A team might field around 40 ponies for each game and draw on a roster of hundreds of potentially playable horses for each tournament. In the gaps between tournaments, top players scour the globe for new equine talent—trying to snaffle foals from elite bloodlines or looking to ex-racehorses to uncover a polo star in the rough.

The findings challenge long-held assumptions about the scale and intent of William the Conqueror’s great survey. Drawing on the earliest surviving manuscript of the survey, known as Exon Domesday, researchers argue that the survey was not simply a means of maximising tax but a far more ambitious and intricate exercise in governmental control - akin to an 11th-century form of big data processing.
