Learning Is Slower Than You Think

It was just a question over breakfast. “What’s a metaphor?” Mira asked her father, spoon halfway to her mouth. He began to explain, but she interrupted: “So it’s when something isn’t what it is—but also is?” There was a silence at the table—not confusion, but recognition. She had already touched it, before any definition arrived. Before a lesson plan or rubric could intervene. That moment—so small, so ordinary—was also everything.

7 Best Reading Lights (2025): Clip-On, Rechargeable, Portable

wired.com Simon Hill 2026-01-01 17:00:00

Reading before bed is a great way to relax. But achieving the right balance of light can be tricky. We want to illuminate the text without disturbing sleeping partners, kids, or roommates. A warm light that is not too bright is also better, as it helps you feel drowsy. Special reading lights may be the answer. They come in a surprisingly wide variety of shapes and sizes, but all will light up your page, not your whole room. I've tested a library of reading lights over the last year, tucking int

Jack Dorsey’s Bluetooth messaging app Bitchat now on App Store

Bitchat, a messaging app created by Twitter and Block founder Jack Dorsey, is available to download from the iOS App Store. Dorsey says he coded the basis of the app over the course of a weekend in early July. Bitchat operates through Bluetooth mesh networks, which means that users can send messages to others within the range of Bluetooth connectivity — usually around 100 meters — without cell reception or a Wi-Fi connection. The app’s UX is very minimal. There is no log-in system, and you’re

As awareness grows around many MFA methods being “phishable” (i.e. not phishing resistant), passwordless, FIDO2-based authentication methods (aka. passkeys) like YubiKeys, Okta FastPass, and Windows Hello are being increasingly advocated.

Trump promised a drilling boom, but US energy industry hasn’t been interested

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-01 22:26:37

“We will drill, baby, drill,” President Donald Trump declared at his inauguration on January 20. Echoing the slogan that exemplified his energy policies during the campaign, he made his message clear: more oil and gas, lower prices, greater exports. Six months into Trump’s second term, his administration has little to show on that score. Output is ticking up, but slower than it did under the Biden administration. Pump prices for gasoline have bobbed around where they were in inauguration week.
