This is the second article in the series Mass Appraisal for the Masses. Here’s a link to the previous article. While we moderns look to computerized geospatial analysis to solve the thornier aspects of land valuation, Georgists writing one hundred years ago, lacking all our modern innovations, claimed that valuing land was no great trouble at all. What was their secret? Research the art of land valuation around the turn of the last century and you will find the “Somers System” of land appraisa

Everybody loves a good foot massage. As an avid runner with plantar fasciitis, I often need a good foot massage. So when I heard about the Nike x Hyperice collaboration to develop a shoe with compression and heating capabilities built in, I was eager to learn more. The Hyperboots feature the same air compression technology as the beloved-by-runners-everywhere Hyperice Normatec boots ($899). The only downside to the Normatec boots are the fact that you have to chill out and remain horizontal whi

A Chinese paraglider survived being sucked in by a cloud and flung 28,208 feet (8,598 meters) into the sky—even though he was just testing his new equipment and wasn’t intending to take off. On May 24, Peng Yujian, a 55-year-old paraglider, was already roughly 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) above sea level, testing the fit of his new paragliding equipment. About 20 minutes in, a powerful updraft known as a “cloud suck” shot him about 18,000 feet (5,500 meters) higher. Peng caught the wild event on

Memorial Day weekend is here and it's loudly proclaiming the start of summer. For many people that means firing up the grill, filling up the pool or getting going on their gardens.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists in Australia have identified the oldest known fossil footprints of a reptile-like animal, dated to around 350 million years ago. The discovery suggests that after the first animals emerged from the ocean around 400 million years ago, they evolved the ability to live exclusively on land much faster than previously assumed. “We had thought the transition from fin to limb took much longer,” said California State University paleontologist Stuart Sumida, who was not inv

I’ve tested various running shoes and I was impressed by the Brooks Hyperion Elite 4 PB. This is the shoe you give the mother figure in your life if they are serious about running and trying to chase a PR (personal record) at their next race. Not only is this shoe stylish and well-cushioned, but it is lightweight enough that I can only describe it as cloud-like. The mesh upper also lets your feet breathe while running so you won’t feel overheated. I’ve run several times with these shoes and eac

The flowers are blooming, the birds are tweeting and the Easter Bunny will soon be on his way. For many runners, big races are coming, too. It's a weird time of year. I busted out my racing shorts and singlet for the United NYC Half last month, but my recent 20-mile marathon training run was interrupted by an unexpected and icy shower of some sort of freezing rain or hail. No, I hadn't thought to bring a raincoat with me. Dressing for a run this time of year isn't easy. Wear too much and you

After taking another peek at the "city-killer" asteroid that once had a small but uncomfortable chance of smashing into our planet, astronomers have figured out what it actually looks like: a flat, spinning disk. The preferred analogy has been to compare the shape to a hockey puck. To us, this sounds like a huge missed opportunity to say that the Earth was — however briefly — under threat by a literal flying saucer, just like in that one movie. The findings come from a preprint study, accepted

Testing desks is something of a subjective game. Much like office chairs, the tests are based on comfort, reliability and ease of setup rather than things you can test in electronics such as wattage and battery usage. I still tested each one rigorously and will continue to test them for longevity in the coming months. I tested these desks by asking three people to try each one. Each of them used the desk for at least 16 hours and then gave me their impressions. The three people were 6 feet, 1 i

In 2012, a worker pulls a crumbling journal from the wall of a church house, which turns out to be the transcription of an incredible confession made by a Blackfeet man named Good Stab 100 years prior. The confession, told to and written down by Lutheran pastor Arthur Beaucarne, chronicles Good Stab’s early life, his view of atrocities committed by US troops — including the real 1870 massacre in which about 200 Blackfeet members were murdered — and his violent, supernatural transformation into a

I don't want to jinx myself, but it just might be spring in New York. The sun is shining, green things are sprouting from the ground, and Easter egg–colored running shoes are popping up in stores. I busted out my racing shorts and singlet for the United NYC Half this past Sunday. Temperatures were frosty and the fog was thick when I lined up to start, but I warmed up fast. That said, there's a chance of snow in the forecast for later this week. Dressing for a run this time of year isn't easy.

A little over a month ago, I spotted an email in my inbox proposing I let a stranger scan my feet. It was from a startup named Groov. The company’s iPhone-exclusive app uses the phone’s FaceID camera and its TrueDepth sensor to map the contours of your feet. The company then ships you a pair of form-fitted insoles meant to offer more arch support and make your favorite shoes a whole lot more comfortable. Of course, I had to say yes. Groov founder Dan Cataldi came to the Gizmodo office to show u
