Museums shouldn’t be fighting with billionaires over extinct species

Dinosaurs may not be roaming the earth, but dinosaur obsessives are very much alive and have been stomping around the Sotheby’s auction house. On July 17th, the 11-foot-tall skeleton of a Stegosaurus nicknamed “Apex”—which was estimated to bring a piddling $4 million to $6 million dollars—was gaveled down at an eye-watering $45 million.

Když desková tektonika vyzdvihovala Alpy a Karpaty, v evropském moři Paratethys, severním výběžku tropického oceánu Tethys, vzniklo ve východní části střední Evropy a v jihovýchodní Evropě úžasné subtropické souostroví.

This privacy-first notes app is an ideal Chrome home page upgrade

Man alive, these humble web browsers of ours sure have come a long way.

But for all the progress we’ve seen in the past several years, somehow, Chrome and most other modern browsers still fall short in one critically important area—and that’s what they show you when you first open ’em.

You’d be forgiven for assuming, based on business press coverage (cough), that, at any given point in time, there is a single, mega-disruptive technology that exerts a gravitational pull on any and all venture capital dollars. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, this would have been the internet and its nascent economy. In the late 2000s to 2010s, it was smartphone and SaaS apps. A few years ago, it was crypto, which, if the prognostications were correct, we would all currently be us
