You’ve just returned after a long day at work and entered the house. You only need a moment to gather your thoughts since you’re exhausted and hungry. After grabbing a bite to eat, you relax in front of the TV. The next thing you know, you’ve just finished binge-watching the most recent Netflix series’ five episodes. Even while we all need ways to unwind and shut down, it’s not a good habit to get into. The most successful people in the world invest their free time in studying because of this.

Imagine purchasing a monkey JPEG for millions of dollars just to have it stolen from your digital wallet. That’s exactly what happened to actor Seth Green, who eventually had to beg the hacker to give him back the NFT (and probably paid them over $100,000 to do so). Green’s situation is more typical than one might imagine, which begs the question of whether or not NFT platforms should assist their clients in seeking remedy when this occurs. In a sector where decentralisation and self-sovereignty are essential values, it is extremely challenging to combat theft and enforce ownership rights. Alex Taub,…

One cannot help but feel a strong sense of nostalgia for the actual Cold War, which ended decades ago, when Presidents Biden and Xi Jinping wrapped up their fifth round of virtual negotiations this week. At least there were strong checkpoints and a formal debate forum in place during the war between the USSR and America to prevent the worst-case scenario of the time—a nuclear holocaust. A simple conversation between the two leaders is preceded by elaborate diplomatic choreography to ensure that expectations are low, and ends with a pro forma statement that the dialogue was “substantive, it was in-depth,…

Aritz Eguren observed, gazing beyond an orchard that descended into a deep gorge, “Imagine more than 2,000 cider homes here, rolling from the highlands of Zerain to the sea some 200 years ago.” Ponies were grazing in a group below. Fruit trees glistened in the afternoon sun on all sides. From the incline, we could see the functioning farm owned by Eguren and his wife Maite, Oiharte Sagardotegi, and, behind it, a warehouse of steel barrels filled with naturally fermented cider made from Basque Country apples called Moko, Goikoetxe, and Brazil. Let’s get a drink now, Eguren said. The cider…
