  • How the Sriracha guys screwed over their supplier

    The global sriracha market was valued at $450 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $1 billion by 2033. Huy Fong remains the name most Americans associate with the sauce. But association is not availability, and availability is not loyalty. A generation of consumers who once reached for the rooster bottle without a second thought has been forced to try something else. Many of them have not reached back. The $23 million the court awarded can be calculated. The cost of teaching your customers that they do not need you cannot.

    Though its headline and picture highlighted card games and comradery, the actual text was of such a particular cultural context that you could carbon date the author's birth year. These children were "talking to one another as if they were in a Brat Pack movie" and there was "an alphabet of new analog hobbies popping up just about everywhere". We even hear of one child who swapped Spotify for his dad's old CDs on portable CD player

  • The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19

    We've had genetic screening for conditions like Down Syndrome and sickle cell anemia for decades, but starting in 2019, it became possible to screen your child for risks of all kinds of things. Parents who go through IVF can now boost their children's IQ, decrease their risk of diseases like Alzheimer's, depression and diabetes, and even make their children less likely to drop out of high school by picking an embryo with a genetic predisposition towards any of these outcomes. But the size of the benefit of this screening depends significantly on the number of embryos available to choose from, which declines almost linearly with age. The expected benefit of embryo screening declines as a result.

  • CIA faces backlash after document with potential cancer cure hidden 60 years

    A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago. The document, produced in February 1951 and declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper that examined striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors. The report describes how researchers believed both organisms thrived under nearly identical metabolic conditions and accumulated large reserves of glycogen, a form of stored energy. Although the document was declassified more than a decade ago, it has recently resurfaced online, fueling outrage among some Americans who say it raises troubling questions about why Cold War research hinting at possible cancer treatments sat in intelligence archives for decades.

  • UFO expert William McCasland's disappearance is a 'grave national security crisis:' reporter

    The mysterious disappearance of a retired Air Force major general with deep expertise about UFOs who went missing without a trace Feb. 28 constitutes a “grave national security crisis,” according to an investigative journalist. Local law enforcement said William Neil McCasland, 68, disappeared after leaving his Albuquerque, New Mexico, home on foot, leaving his phone behind in a missing persons investigation that has since been joined by the FBI.

  • America and Public Disorder

    We are the world’s richest country, and yet our buses, parking lots, and city streets are filthy, chaotic, and threatening. Antisocial and abnormal behavior, open addiction, and mentally tortured people are common in almost every community regardless of size. It’s a primary reason why we shy away from dense walkable spaces and instead move towards suburban sprawl. People in the U.S. don’t respect, trust, or want to be around other random citizens, out of fear and disgust. Japanese/European style urbanism—density, fantastic public transport, mixed-use zoning, that so many American tourists admire—can't happen here because there is a fine line between vibrant streets and squalid ones, and that line is public trust. The U.S. is on the wrong side of it. Simply put, nobody wants to be accosted by a stranger, no matter how infrequent, and until that risk is close to nil, people will continue edging towards isolated living. It is why we “can’t have nice things” because we have to construct our infrastructure to be asshole-proof, and so we don’t build anything or build with a fortress mentality, stripping our public spaces down to the austere and utilitarian, emptying them of anything that can be vandalized.

  • ‘World War Three’ bunker manufacturer: ‘I’m inundated with calls’

    As war rages in Iran, Ron Hubbard is fielding inquiries from politicians and billionaires, including two members of Trump’s Cabinet

    “I’ve been inundated with calls,” says Hubbard. Enquiries have gone up “tenfold” since the war broke out last Saturday. Hubbard claims two senior Cabinet members in the Trump administration are amongst his clients. "One of them texted me yesterday, asking me: ‘When will my bunker be ready?’”, he says.

    With somewhat remarkable timing, Hubbard’s firm opened new offices in Dubai at the end of February. Just two days later, Iranian missiles rained down on the glitzy city as the Islamic Republic took revenge on the Gulf States for their support for the bombing campaign launched by the United States and Israel.

  • Kuwaiti F/A-18's Triple Friendly Fire Shootdown Gets Stranger by the Day

    The new video is also in line with our original assessment of the likely cause of the shootdowns, namely, tail-aspect missile shots made by smaller-yield weapons. As we noted at the time, under certain circumstances, if the Hornet employed passive heat-seeking missiles (AIM-9), the F-15E pilots may not have known they were being engaged until the weapon detonated.

    An experienced former F/A-18 pilot talked to TWZ about the event and the new video, and concluded that the incident is, altogether, “very strange.” “I have genuinely no idea how someone could make this mistake,” the ex-Hornet driver continued. “Unless it’s something procedural and GCI [ground-control intercept] has messed up, talked him on, and he’s seen what he wanted to see … but even that’s bordering on implausible.”

    Another fighter pilot’s analysis, seen in video below, questions whether the Kuwaiti pilot might even have gone rogue against an ally. That actually seems possible based on the evidence, but it is hard to believe.
