Getty Images/Zooey Liao/CNET If you're banking on Social Security to fund your retirement, you may want to think twice. A new forecast from the Social Security Administration shows that Social Security trust funds will be depleted by 2034, a year sooner than initially forecast. At this time, you'll only be able to receive 81% of your benefits, reducing the amount you'll get paid.

New dating for White Sands footprints confirms controversial theory

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-09 09:23:38

The 2009 discovery of footprints (human and animal) left behind in layers of clay and silt at New Mexico’s White Sands National Park sparked a contentious debate about when, exactly, human cultures first developed in North America. Until about a decade ago, it seemed as if the first Americans arrived near the end of the last Ice Age and were part of the Clovis culture, named for the distinctive projectile points they left behind near what’s now Clovis, New Mexico.

Charles Hudson had just closed his fifth fund several months ago – $66 million for Precursor Ventures – when one of his limited partners asked him to run an exercise. What would have happened, the LP wondered, if Hudson had sold all his portfolio companies at Series A? What about Series B? Or Series C? The question wasn’t academic.
