news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-03 08:30:06

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time? Make your time count. Published: 04 June 2023 Productivity Tim Urban has a good article describing how we have 100 10-minute "blocks" per day when we aren't sleeping. It's a great article, but I want to reframe it a little. I just filled out his graph for my weekdays: 8 hours doing school, 2 hours of eating, 50m each of commute & self-care. So after a typical weekday I only have 30 blocks = 300 minutes left of discretionary time

Has Perseverance found a biosignature on Mars?

Last year, we reported on the discovery of an intriguing arrow-shaped rock on Mars by NASA's Perseverance rover. The rock contained chemical signatures and structures that could have been formed by ancient microbial life. Granted, this was not slam-dunk evidence of past life on Mars, and the results were preliminary, awaiting peer review. But it was an intriguing possibility nonetheless.
