“Right when your adrenaline hits, it kind of boosts the release of sugar stores from your liver, and then you get a crash,” Akkerman says. “And if you haven’t eaten anything, you can get hypoglycemic, which can make you really shaky on top of everything else.”The solution, says Akkerman, is to have a little complex carbohydrates and proteins. This might be anything from granola to peanut butter toast. The extra energy from the food will stop your body from crashing out mid-morning.This, I learned from Akkerman, is the root of my mid-morning shakes. It wasn’t the caffeine. It was adrenaline…

These include automated options for activating and managing media designed to make the DSP more accessible and easy to use for all kinds of advertisers.The development signals an expansion beyond Yahoo DSP’s core business, which has historically serviced enterprise advertisers facilitating ad buys for brands like Kroger, Arby’s, and Planet Fitness. The new tools could help the platform extend its market penetration, attracting a wider variety of advertisers, such as ecomm platforms and direct-to-consumer brands. “AI is enabling us to better…
Automation is coming to warehouses — fast. While some companies like Amazon are developing their own robotic fleets in-house, others have turned to outside players for their automation tech. FedEx has dabbled with both strategies. And the $84 billion company has landed on partnerships with robotics companies as the best approach to keep up with its peers in the race toward automation. FedEx’s recent multi-year partnership with SoftBank-owned robotics company Berkshire Grey illustrates its strategy: turn to the experts to develop robots that can take on repetitive, dangerous jobs for humans. Under the non-exclusive partnership, the companies developed Scoop, a…
Yes, it’s a supercar, but it’s also sold very much as a track and road car, one that accommodates a passenger, all of which means road trips and weekend-away stays are very much possible. Well, they would be if there were anywhere at all to store luggage. Lamborghini managed to find some luggage space in its Revuelto design, so there’s no excuse here, really.The design department otherwise has had a field day. Top-mounted exhausts, dihedral doors, and even an F1-style roof snorkel to accompany that air-braking rear wing deliver an exterior that is nothing short of arresting. Somehow, none of…

Healthcare technology giant CareCloud has confirmed that hackers accessed one of its stores of patients’ electronic health records during a data breach earlier this month. The disclosure, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last Friday, said the company detected unauthorized access on March 16 to one of six environments where it stores patients’ medical and healthcare records. The hackers had access to this medical records storage for more than eight hours, the company said, but that it was not yet known if the hacker exfiltrated any data, or what types of data may have been stolen, if so.…
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who rode a social media-fueled campaign to Gracie Mansion, is reversing an Eric Adams-era directive barring TikTok from government-owned devices. Local agencies will now be able to post about their projects on the app, though with new guardrails to protect city networks.“The Mamdani administration is committed to using every tool in our toolbox to communicate with New Yorkers,” says the email to agencies, obtained by WIRED. “At a moment when people are turning to city government for information about free services, emergency situations, upcoming events, and more, we want to open up new avenues…
As the agency landscape consolidates and AI changes workflows and teams, brand-agency partnerships are facing fresh tensions.

Backblaze, a backup company that currently stores more than 1 exabyte of data, and therefore has considerable experience with hard drives, periodically publishes its drive statistics, which have some helpful numbers to consider.Unfortunately, what jumps out of that data is that longevity varies more by model than by manufacturer. That said, I suggest sticking with known names like Seagate and Western Digital. Still, even brand-name drives fail. I had a big-brand-name drive fail on me once and it was only four months old. What you get by sticking with the brand names is good customer service. In my case, the…
Photograph: Kat MerckI was not able to discern any difference between the two models, either physically or in performance. I started out using the original Shelfy but immediately switched to testing the Shelfy 2 when it arrived. Since most testing was conducted with the 2, all references to “Shelfy” henceforth refer to that device.As for how the photocatalysis works, a fan draws air into the device, where it is forced between the treated ceramic filter and 12 blue LED lights and “cleansed” by a reaction caused by the two. A video from Vitesy compares the process of photocatalysis to chlorophyll-based…
Listening to this implausible scheme added to my growing sense that Concepcion was fraying around the edges. Aside from dealing with his routine mental-health issues, he was now under tremendous financial pressure: unemployed, yet on the hook for upwards of $3,000 a month in AI subscriptions and hosting services. “Last night I just laid down and cried,” he said to me during one vulnerable moment. “I was like, fuck, this has been a tough thing, this whole not knowing what’s going to happen, not knowing where the next paycheck’s going to come from.”People in Concepcion’s orbit know he tends to…

The company is partnering with transportation company Welcome Pickups to let users book a private car service in cities including Paris, Bali, and Mexico City. The travel company said that it has been running a pilot this year in Europe and Asia, where “thousands of guests” used it with an average rating of 4.96.

The primary isn’t until early June, but the CA-17 race between five-term incumbent Ro Khanna and tech founder Ethan Agarwal is already getting nasty. Agarwal entered the race in March, backed by a roster of prominent tech billionaires largely in response to Khanna’s public support for a proposed California ballot measure that would impose a one-time 5% tax on residents worth more than $1 billion. Agarwal, for his part, has been going after Khanna by primarily citing his stock trades while in office. Now newsrooms covering the race have been receiving anonymous packages of digital court documents detailing Agarwal’s legal…
