In Alex Karp's World, Palantir Is the Underdog

WIRED

My parents didn't go to college, but his father was a pediatrician, Jewish American. His mother was an artist that still is an artist, and she's African American. So he is Black and Jewish parentage. He is dyslexic, and that's a big part of his identity. And when we talked about going to Central High School, which is kind of a magnet school, it's all academic, and it draws from all over the city.

How do snakes move? It's not all slithering.

Popular Science

The reptiles can swim, cartwheel, and even fly. They strike, glide, and even fly. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. You know that scene in where Harry accidentally frees a boa constrictor from the zoo? But there's nothing supernatural about how snakes move.


Young Mormons Built an App to Help Men Quit Gooning

WIRED

The Relay app allows users to track their porn-free streaks and get group support. Its creators say they're taking a stand against porn and AI erotica. Jamie would meticulously schedule his days around finding time alone to watch porn and masturbate--often up to five times a day. The 32-year-old Michigan engineer, who did not want to use his real name due to privacy concerns, first watched porn at the impressionable age of 12, but never realized he had a problem until just after his father's funeral three years ago. "I didn't shed a single tear," he says.


A Holiday Gift Guide: The Newest, Strangest Gadgets and Apps

The New Yorker

Our columnist on digital culture suggests technology--or anti-technology technology--to give this holiday season. We are entering a Surrealist phase of personal technology. Any device you might imagine can be found online courtesy of an obscure Chinese factory, ready to be shipped out for a loved one's holiday enjoyment: pocket-size artificial-intelligence gizmos ( Rabbit r1, $199), in-home hologram machines (Code 27 Character Livehouse, $558), human-size robot servants ( 1X NEO, $20,000). The components of tech have become better and cheaper, from microchips to speakers and screens (have you seen how cheap a good TV is these days?), enabling out-there innovation. On the consumer side, we are bored of rote device designs; we've seen a dozen models of iPhone and crave something refreshingly different.


UK lacks plan to defend itself from invasion, MPs warn

BBC News

The UK lacks a plan to defend itself from military attack, a committee of MPs has warned. In a highly critical report, the defence committee says the UK is over-reliant on US resources and that preparations to defend itself and overseas territories in the event of attack are nowhere near where they need to be. The committee's chair, Labour MP Tan Dhesi, said: Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine, unrelenting disinformation campaigns, and repeated incursions into European airspace mean that we cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand. It comes as the Ministry of Defence (MoD) identified parts of the country where six or more new munitions factories could be built. In June, Defence Secretary John Healey announced plans to move the UK to war-fighting readiness, including £1.5bn to support the construction of new munitions factories, which will be built by private contractors.
