Am I the only one who seems to spend 95% of my time on the same five websites? In an effort to expand my Internet horizons, I'd love to know what your "five-website Internet" looks like. Mine is:

1. New York Times 2. Ars Technica 3. Hacker News 4. IGN Movies 5. Redfin (for real estate fantasizing...)

I'm leaving out work-related websites, but with them, Gmail, Github, and Slack would be number 1, 2, and 3.

Four years from now, what will be the most valuable job fields? AI? 6G? Biotech? Clean energy? Quantum computing? Something else entirely?

With all of the excitement over the SpaceX launch yesterday, I have been wondering, what is a realistic timeline for affordable space tourism? By affordable, I mean an extravagant but potentially realizable expense for a middle-class consumer. Perhaps around the cost of a luxury car.

If you had a moderate sum of money to invest in the current climate, what would you do with it? Stocks? Mutual funds? ETFs? Real estate? Something else?

I'm interested in exploring academic literature on a few niche topics but am having trouble getting started. I don't have graduate school experience and this form of academic writing is a bit foreign to me.

What are your techniques for reading scholarly articles? How do you digest them effectively? How do you determine if an article on arXiv or Google Scholar or elsewhere is from a credible source?
