Solar farms have a land problem.

The result: The project used 40% less land to produce the same amount of power, allowing it to move forward.At a time when energy demand is surging, but solar projects often

The 8 habits of great conversationalists
When people talk about being “good at conversation,” they often imagine something innate. They think of charisma, wit, or the ability to hold court effortlessly. But after hundreds of lunches with strangers, I came to see conversation very differently. The best conversationalists I met weren’t necessarily the loudest, funniest, or most assertive people in the room. In fact, many of them were quiet, understated, and unassuming. What set them apart wasn’t personality, but habit.&nbs

Boll & Branch mastered ethical cotton. Now it’s taking on cashmere
For centuries, cashmere was a fabric so rare that Persian merchants dubbed it “soft gold.” Mughal emperors and European aristocrats gave them as gifts to one another. It was sourced from Himalayan goats that needed delicate undercoats to survive freezing, high-altitude climates—then hand-combed by herders and spun into prized shawls. Today, however, the “fiber of kings” has undergone a massive industrial shift. What was once a prized heirloom piece has been democratize

AQ is the new IQ
What does it take to operate, let alone succeed, in an environment where the pace is relentless, the stakes are massive, and every decision carries a risk of failure, at least on some scale? How do you orient yourself when you know you can’t rely on the past to inform your sense of what might happen next? How can you hold deep-seated biases at bay, keep your emotions in check, and step outside of your own perspective—“telescope up,” as I like to say—when it’s time to pull the trigger and execute

Google researchers have been playing with AI ‘consciousness.’ What they found was unexpected
On the surface, stopping artificial intelligence from seeing itself as conscious seems like a no-brainer. An AI model that sees itself as possessing individual emotions, beliefs, and consciousness can promote harmful delusions in its users and lead to overly personal human-machine relationships.

Sabbaticals are a powerful retention tool. Here’s the research to prove it
Formal sabbatical policies are increasingly attractive for employees, but are often misunderstood by companies considering them.
