When I first received a copy of one of this year’s great cookbooks, it stopped me in my tracks. There’s such a rush of books at the end of the year that I usually make a couple stacks at the far end of my desk, then attack them methodically, but this book was different. The cover was inviting, like I landed in a party where the drinks and people looked fun and beautiful, and at the same time it immediately started answering questions about the food and culture. Amazingly, that serendipity happened five times this fall.What makes this group of…

I’ll get into the details when it comes to each model, but the most important consideration is paper type, because it’s a limitation rather than a benefit.

In December alone about Rs 30,000 crore worth IPO is set to debut with big names like Meesho, ICICI Prudentials, Clean Max Enviro Energy, wakefit,etc. But just because there are many IPOs, it doesn’t mean all of them are good investments for you.

“In general, we are noticing many of these shoes have more of a road running influence than they do trail,” says Bodin. “So, there will be a mix of foams, midsole geometries, less attention to fit, and a more subtle outsole pattern compared to trail shoes.”What Are the Benefits of Gravel Shoes?In a word: versatility.

Cloudflare’s CEO Matthew Prince told WIRED onstage at our Big Interview event in San Francisco this week that his company has blocked more than 400 billion AI bot requests for…

Leah Feiger: So it’s a really good question actually, and it’s one that I’ve thought about for quite some time. I think if it’s not annoying, I want to read this quote from Scott Kupor, the director of OPM and the former managing partner at Andreessen Horowitz, to be clear, just to remind everyone where people are coming from in this current administration. He posted this on X late last month, and this was part of Reuter’s reporting. So he posts, “The truth is, DOGE may not have centralized leadership under USDS anymore, but the principles of DOGE remain alive…
