ZDNET's key takeaways The Eufy FamiLock S3 Max is a new video smart lock available for $400. This smart lock also features a camera and doorbell button, and an indoor screen shows you who is at the door. I just wish the FamiLock S3 Max could unlock with human recognition using the Eufy HomeBase BionicMind, and the smart lock isn't convenient for some users, like those with a screen or storm door. $399.99 at Amazon That viral phrase, 'I don't have a favorite kid, but there is one we try really

Bitcoin is nearly double where it was a year ago. This is what's behind the run

cnbc.com Mackenzie Sigalos 2025-08-01 17:39:57

Bitcoin traded around $116,000 on Tuesday, falling back from a historic surge that briefly sent the world's largest cryptocurrency past $123,000 for the first time. Even with the pullback, the cryptocurrency is still trading at nearly twice its level from a year ago. Unlike previous cycles, the record run isn't being driven by retail mania or meme-stock energy. This move is being powered by structural demand, shifting macro positioning and a wave of Wall Street adoption that's playing out in r

Random selection is necessary to create stable meritocratic institutions

news.ycombinator.com Paul Melman 2025-08-01 03:28:36

Campbell's Law (a variant of Goodhart's Law) states that the more a metric is used for social decision-making, the more it will be subject to corruption which distorts and corrupts not only the metric itself, but the very social processes it was meant to measure. Selection criteria for a position of authority are one example of such a metric. When selection criteria are opaque, it is difficult for them to become a target, preserving their utility as measures.

Do You Need a Box Spring for Your Modern-Day Mattress? (2025)

You're probably familiar with a box spring, the simple wood frame with springs that acts as a support base under older mattresses. It's not a highly technical piece of equipment like a smart bed (or a trampoline, wouldn't that be fun)—this kind of mattress foundation has persisted through the ages solely due to its simple and durable design.
