CNET's key takeaways The Helix Madison bed frame, available in natural wood or white, is $929 for a queen before sales. It's straightforward to put together and requires no tools. That said, the frame is a little expensive and incompatible with headboards. My beautiful, four-poster bed frame broke a few months ago. Immediately afterward, as I was lying there, slowly sliding to the corner of my mattress that had plummeted to the ground (from a decent height, I might add), I cursed that antiq

Conspiracy theorists don’t realize they’re on the fringe

It's not that believers in conspiracy theories are massively overconfident; there is no data on that, because the studies didn't set out to quantify the degree of overconfidence, per Pennycook. Rather, "They're overconfident, and they massively overestimate how much people agree with them," he said. Ars spoke with Pennycook to learn more.

Facts don't change minds, structure does

In 1633, Galileo Galilei stood before the Inquisition, not for inventing a radical new theory, but for proposing a straightforward idea: that the Earth moves around the Sun. This wasn’t even a new suggestion—Greek astronomers like Aristarchus had floated the heliocentric model centuries earlier. But in Galileo’s time, the idea ran into an insurmountable obstacle. We often chalk up the Church’s resistance to superstition or ignorance. While that played a role, there was something deeper at work.

During the height of the pandemic, a unique kind of online shopping became one of the hottest trends in China’s tech industry. Called “community group buying,” it allowed consumers to save money on everything from apples to iPhones by placing bulk orders together with their friends and family. The model, which was kind of like Groupon meets Instacart, proved especially popular for groceries. But now, China's community group-buying platforms are vanishing one by one.
