As per a report<\/a> from podcast search engine Listen Notes, the number of newly created podcasts<\/strong> had decreased by 80%<\/strong> from 2020 to 2022 worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GM announced<\/a> on Friday that it would be spending $854 million to make its sixth-generation small block V8, and $64 million to help its EV efforts, in news that sounds like it belongs in a different year but isn\u2019t. The news also confirms that a sixth-generation small block V8 is happening, which GM says it intends to use to \u201cstrengthen its industry-leading full-size truck and SUV business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the Junaluska apple. Legend has it the variety was standardized<\/a> by Cherokee Indians in the Smoky Mountains more than two centuries ago and named after its greatest patron, an early-19th-century chief. Old-time orchardists say the apple was once a Southern favorite, but disappeared around 1900. Brown started hunting for it in 2001 after discovering references in an Antebellum-era orchard catalog from Franklin, North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swiss hacker known as \u201cMaya Arson Crime\u201d blogged<\/a> Thursday that he discovered a Transportation Security Administration \u201cno fly\u201d list from 2019 and the insecure Amazon Web Services cloud server used by the airline CommuteAir A group of related data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The industry\u2019s recent job cuts<\/a> have been an awakening for a generation of workers who have never experienced a cyclical crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second season<\/a> of Great Chefs<\/em>, which aired in 1983, focused on San Francisco, an era and region that calls to mind rustic grilled pizzas, little mesclun salads dotted with goat cheese, and fruits on plates. Instead, the season is a paean to pate. Of the 13 episodes, seven feature chefs who are French or trained in traditional French kitchens. They don\u2019t all cook true haute cuisine<\/em>, but their food is much closer to the refined, rich, technique-heavy cooking of traditional French restaurant kitchens than the rustic peasant-style French cooking that inspired Waters and others. The chefs featured in these episodes make salmon mousseline and duck liver mousse; they craft marzipan roses and bread baskets made of literal bread; they wield multiple wine-reduced sauces and stuff chicken legs with veal. There is so much straining. None of the food could be described as simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Arnu had one particular hobby<\/a> that he felt might be of interest to federal investigators: he had spent the last two decades tending to a popular blog about \u201cArea 51,\u201d the remote military base near Rachel that was known for its shroud of mystery and UFO lore. Arnu\u2019s site, Dreamland Resort<\/a>, regularly posted news about the base\u2014including articles about its alleged connection to \u201cblack projects<\/a>\u201d and other clandestine government operations. When police crashed into his life that wintry day, he suspected it had something to do with this. Still, running a blog wasn\u2019t illegal, and the force with which the government had come down on him seemed unbelievable. Just what exactly were agents looking for what? And what did they think he\u2019d done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum<\/a>, which resembles a luxury showroom, houses the wealth of the nation\u2014currency notes of all shapes, sizes and colours. Some of the notes on display are from the \u2018Bank of Hindostan\u2019, \u2018Bank of Madras\u2019, \u2018Bank of Bengal in Lahore\u2019 and other pre-colonial era institutions. But the around 700 unique notes represent just 6 to 7 per cent of his collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my hobbies is buying up pre-antibiotic medical books<\/a>. If you look at the history of western medicine, it\u2019s often been a wash: it\u2019s still not all that clear if letting a doctor treat you is a better idea than staying home, eating right, exercising and minding your own business. For example: click here<\/a>. For stuff like bullet holes, doctors are pretty good from all the practice they get in war and American inner cities. Doctors are also good for prescribing antibiotics; antibiotics are the last big, epoch making breakthrough in medical technology. Public health innovations, such as not drinking toilet water, anesthesia, doctors washing their hands, and making sure people have sufficient vitamins (the ones we know about): these are the past big ones that really moved the needle.<\/p>\n\n\n

How much would you pay to do embryo selection to plausibly improve your child’s intelligence by 5 IQ?<\/p>\n

In USD. Assume cost is on top of the IVF costs.<\/p>\n
