Midcentury North American Restaurant Placemats

news.ycombinator.com Elizabeth Goodspeed 2025-09-23 04:52:17

Today’s collection is a grab bag of midcentury North American restaurant placemats. Like so many past ephemera finds I’ve shared here, I bought these at Brimfield Flea this July from a vendor who had around 500 in a big plastic tub. I bought 25 for $75 (a steal!) but I did have to talk myself out of asking how much it would be for the whole box. Most of these date from the late 1940s through the ’50s, when the postwar boom and expanding highway system put long-distance vacations within reach fo

The 2-year-old Meta Ray-Bans, which currently top my list of the best smart glasses, have been a pretty great everyday pair of smart glasses for me, except for when the battery runs out.

They're available immediately for $379, which is $80 more than the originals, but they promise twice the battery life and improved images from the built-in camera. Meta's got some AI

Police Puzzled by 180 Kilos of SpaceX-Branded Cocaine Found at Crash Site

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-23 14:06:18

A single-engine plane crashed landed in a field of sugar cane in Brazil over the weekend, according to local news media Alagoas 24 Horas, killing the pilot and leaving behind 180 kilograms — or almost 400 pounds — of cocaine. So far, it just sounds like a tale of drug smuggling gone awry. Except that the coke, stacked together in neat bricks and wrapped in plastic, as shown in a video from local police obtained by Alagoas, sported a distinctive label: the official SpaceX logo, in blue and white

the Earth you walk on today might not be the same planet that was born 4.5 billion years ago. Many scientists believe that in its infancy, Earth collided with another world the size of Mars, and that instead of being destroyed, it was transformed, incorporating the mass of that foreign body to become the planet we know. Recent research adds another layer of relevance to that hypothesized cosmic event: Scientists believe that without that other body, the basic conditions for life to emerge on Ear

Meta’s New Smart Glasses Got a Subtle Name Change. It Speaks Volumes About What’s Wrong With Them

wired.com Verity Burns 2025-09-25 07:00:00

In the early days of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and his team famously adopted the motto “Move fast and break things.” Posters with the phrase reportedly adorned the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters, alongside other, similar sentiments like “Done is better than perfect,” and “Fail quicker.” The focus for the young company was clear: Being first was more important than getting it right first time. As the company grew, Zuckerberg—in an interview with WIRED— started to distance himself from, or
