Historically, I haven't been great about managing my stress and anxiety, so whenever I come across a video or article about cortisol imbalances, my interest is piqued. Since cortisol is also called the "stress hormone," this content has made me wonder: Is my stress causing my cortisol levels to rise? Though I was nervous, I decided to take Quest's Cortisol Blood Stress Hormone Test, which was offered to me for free, to find out more. After my cortisol blood test, I had a lot of residual questio
Cortisol is a hot topic these days, especially as many struggle to manage their stress. You may also have heard of the term "cortisol face" or "moon face," which can be attributed to high cortisol levels. "Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate your metabolism, blood sugar, inflammation, blood pressure and sleep-wake cycle," explains Dr. Mark Hyman, co-founder and CMO of Function Health, which offers a cortisol lab test. "It's most known for managing the body's
Music sure has come a long way since you had to go dig through the bins at your local record store. You can pipe hundreds of millions of songs directly into your headphones from anywhere with an internet connection, all for the price of one CD each month. No more buying tracks or buffing out scuffs. All of these services’ libraries pretty much mirror each other, with the phrase “over 100 millions songs” being thrown around by multiple services. The things that separate streaming services are th
Hackers are stashing malware in a place that’s largely out of the reach of most defenses—inside domain name system (DNS) records that map domain names to their corresponding numerical IP addresses. The practice allows malicious scripts and early-stage malware to fetch binary files without having to download them from suspicious sites or attach them to emails, where they frequently get quarantined by antivirus software. That’s because traffic for DNS lookups often goes largely unmonitored by man
Roblox announced Thursday that it’s launching new safeguards for people who are between the ages of 13 and 18. The company is introducing “Trusted Connections” to allows these users to connect more freely with people they know, alongside age estimation technology, more privacy tools, and insights for parents of teens. Roblox has come under fire in recent years for how it handles child safety. In April, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier issued a subpoena to Roblox in response to reports th
The growing prevalence of AI music has caused a stir across the music industry, according to Keith Mullin, head of management and music industry course leader at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Da-kuk | E+ | Getty Images With more than 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, psychedelic rock band The Velvet Sundown is raking in thousands of dollars and has the music industry asking itself tough questions 一 and they're not about whether the '70s are coming back. The "band" was recen
“A prosthesis that's tissue-integrated — anchored to the bone and directly controlled by the nervous system — is not merely a lifeless, separate device, but rather a system that is carefully integrated into human physiology, offering a greater level of prosthetic embodiment. It’s not simply a tool that the human employs, but rather an integral part of self,” says Hugh Herr, a professor of media arts and sciences, co-director of the K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics at MIT, an associate member of M

ferrantraite/Getty Images Technology standardization has been something of an elusive holy grail, with new tech emerging faster than standards groups can keep up. Yet, somehow, things eventually come together -- at least for mature systems -- and achieve interoperability, be it email networks or developer tools. Now, a new race against time has come to the fore, with efforts to tame one of the fastest-developing technologies seen to date -- artificial intelligence. Can standards groups, with t
Pau Barrena/Bloomberg via Getty Images I wrote the original version of this post when Windows 11 was still less than a year old, after reading a ton of feedback from early adopters. I didn't have to spend a lot of time in support forums and other community sites to hear a steady stream of criticism from people who were annoyed by the changes Microsoft made in the Windows 10 user interface they had grown comfortable with. Enough time has passed since the original Windows 11 release that some of
I just introduced a new feature on the website! 🎉 As usual, whenever content is POSSEd (Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere), you will find links to the syndicated content at the bottom of the page. Now, you will also see a small link to “toggle the interaction crawler”. This will open (or hide) a small form, where you can select available (and supported) social media platforms to crawl for interaction counts. This is in line with what I was discussing a few weeks ago about webmen
Recently, I wrote an article about my journey in learning about robots.txt and its implications on the data rights in regards to what I write in my blog. I was confident that I wanted to ban all the crawlers from my website. Turned out there was an unintended consequence that I did not account for. My LinkedIn posts became broken# Ever since I changed my robots.txt file, I started seeing that my LinkedIn posts no longer had the preview of the article available. I was not sure what the issue wa
Gaslight-driven development Any person who has used a computer in the past ten years knows that doing meaningless tasks is just part of the experience. Millions of people create accounts, confirm emails, dismiss notifications, solve captchas, reject cookies, and accept terms and conditions—not because they particularly want to or even need to. They do it because that’s what the computer told them to do. Like it or not, we are already serving the machines. Well, now there is a new way to serve
Our kitchens are fantastic sources of technical innovations. From ultrapowerful air fryers to indoor smokers, wonderful new inventions are released for home chefs every year -- as well as other kitchen gadgets that should get thrown out with the compost.

We asked chefs and kitchen pros which gadgets they consider totally unnecessary -- and which tools actually pull their weight around t
Does the UK video games industry have a class problem? 53 minutes ago Share Save Laura Cress BBC News Share Save BBC Declan Cassidy is the CEO of Into Games "I'm scared for the future of games," says Chris Goodyear. "It could end up going the way that theatre has, and become a very privileged thing." At one of the UK's largest conferences for video game developers, social class was on the agenda. The concern raised by Chris, a producer working to highlight accessibility barriers in the indust
Back in January, when Samsung launched the three main phones in the Galaxy S25 series, I wasn’t shy with my criticism. I openly wondered why the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus even exist, and pointed out how the Galaxy S25 Ultra is such a nominal upgrade over the Galaxy S24 Ultra that it’s a wonder Samsung didn’t drop the price. Surprisingly, at the time, Samsung teased that a significant part of the Galaxy S25 family was yet to come: an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight phone called the Galaxy S25
A Rust shaped hole By a process of elimination, I've arrived at a conclusion that I should write Rust, or at least give it a rigorous try. Let us say I want to write a "native" program. This train of thought started with wanting to write a program, an xfdesktop replacement, that can serve as my desktop background, slowly meandering though a pastel game of life, or floating through a Mandelbrot set. But the specifics are not relevant, because I find myself on the same train when thinking of ot
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how people's brains develop and function, impacting behaviour, communication and socialising. It can also involve differences in the way you move and walk – known as your gait. Having an "odd gait" is now listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as a supporting diagnostic feature of autism. What does this look like? The most noticeable gait differences among autistic people are: toe-walking, walking on the balls

Techno-noir may not have ever been a major genre, but it delivers twists and turns in a futuristic city where things are darker than they seem. Films like Johnny Mnemonic, Blade Runner and 12 Monkeys popularized the genre, but they're far from the only options. One of my overlooked favorites of the genre is Dark City, a mind-bending techno-noir thriller that explores the idea of identity against a city swathed in darkness. Released in 1998, the underrated gem preceded The Matrix by a year, and
Cryptocurrencies and several stocks tied to the blockchain ecosystem rallied Wednesday after the House approved a procedural vote to consider three key bills governing crypto regulation after Republican lawmakers halted their passage Tuesday. Bitcoin was last higher by 2% at $119,293.86, according to Coin Metrics, while ether surged more than 10% to $3,382.95. Shares of stablecoin issuer Circle jumped 19% and crypto services firm Coinbase gained about 2% after both closed lower Tuesday. Ether
The study, which makes use of a technology called mitochondrial donation, has been described as a “tour de force” and “a remarkable accomplishment” by others in the field. In the team’s approach, patients’ eggs are fertilized with sperm, and the DNA-containing nuclei of those cells are transferred into donated fertilized eggs that have had their own nuclei removed. The new embryos contain the DNA of the intended parents along with a tiny fraction of mitochondrial DNA from the donor, floating in
Bedrock Robotics, an autonomous vehicle technology startup founded by veterans of Waymo and Segment, has been operating quietly for more than a year. Now, it’s breaking cover with an $80 million funding round from investors Eclipse and 8VC. Bedrock Robotics is focused on developing a self-driving kit that can be retrofitted to construction and other worksite vehicles, according to the company. The announcement confirms some of TechCrunch’s reporting in May. Bedrock is “upgrading existing fleets
Remember Rebel Moon? Netflix’s two-part movie series created by Zack Snyder, released in late 2023 and early 2024, which then had two longer, bloodier versions released that same year? Snyder’s answer to Star Wars, in which he created his own sci-fi world from the ground up? Ring a bell? If not, that’s because they did well on the streamer but didn’t quite resonate culturally like most probably hoped. Nevertheless, it seems Snyder isn’t ready to give up on the franchise just yet. Case in point,

This fall will be all about the iPhone 17 lineup, but rumors for next year’s iPhone Fold are already ramping up. A pair of new rumors indicate Apple’s foldable iPhone could have a more affordable price than expected, and be thinner—when unfolded—than Apple’s current thinnest product.
