How To Learn Chess As An Adult (or, how I went from 300 to 1500 ELO in 9 months) — Alex Crompton
Like most people, late last year I watched the Queen's Gambit. Like most people, I made a Chess.com account assuming I’d become the new Beth Harmon. Unfortunately, more than literally almost everyone, I sucked at chess. At first, this was unsurprising: I only vaguely knew what the pieces did, and didn't know more complicated rules like castling. But I'm a smart guy (hi white male privilege). If I
Photography for geeks
🡆 For a German translation of this article, click here (courtesy Jonas Schäfer). Billions of people carry cameras in their pockets and use them to document their lives. Yet, despite the democratization of photo hardware, the knowledge of photographic techniques remains elusive. Countless books, webpages, and YouTube videos purport to offer advice, but tend to dwell on topics of little consequence

Not long ago, blockchain technology was touted as a way to track tuna, bypass banks, and preserve property records. Reality has proved a much tougher challenge. In early 2018, Amos Meiri got the kind of windfall many startup founders only dream of. Meiri’s company, Colu, develops digital currencies for cities—coupons, essentially, that encourage people to spend their money locally. The company was
現在、新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大が続くアメリカでは、死亡者の遺体の安置場所にさえ困っていると報告されている。 デトロイトの病院での写真 CNNのリポーター、Marshall Cohen 氏が入手した画像には、ミシガン州のデトロイトにある病院で、新型コロナによって亡くなった方の遺体がクローゼットなどに積まれている様子が映っていた。 またもう一つの画像には、ホテルのような部屋のベッドに遺体が寝かせられ、別の遺体はソファに座らされたような様子が映っていた。 Sinai-Grace Hospital の救急医療チームの1人は「分かっていることは、患者を寝かせるベッドが不足しているということ。だから私たちはご遺体のために、ベッドをさくことはできないのです」と語っている。 Marshall Cohen 氏は、この画像をツイッターに投稿。その後、多くの反響が寄せられた。（下の写真はショッキングため、閲
Here's the original article from the California magazine May 1983 issue, presented as a tribute to author Ehud Yonay. This article and these photos inspired the Paramount motion picture "Top Gun."

‘I’ve had enough’: pop star Rina Sawayama criticises comments by labelmate Matty Healy
On the podcast, hosted by Adam Friedland and others, Healy joined in with mockery of the rapper Ice Spice, which poked fun at her imagined accent and heritage, wrongly identified as Chinese, Hawaiian and Inuit. Elsewhere on the podcast, Healy said he watched the racially charged pornography series mentioned by Sawayama, referring to a scene that “brutalised” women. Sawayama is signed to Dirty Hit,
Hidetaka Miyazaki Sees Death as a Feature, Not a Bug Miyazaki has created the most difficult games of the century. In his latest, Elden Ring, he wants a broader audience to feel the pain. A novel’s achievements can elude a careless reader. A film’s themes, or its plot, can be misconstrued by a lazy viewer. Only a video game, however, can punish an audience’s faults.
