Just over a year ago, Epic Games laid off around 16 percent of its employees. The problem, Epic said, was its own big ideas for the future and just how expensive they were to build. “For a while now, we’ve been spending way more money than we earn,” Epic CEO Tim Sweeney wrote in an email to staff.
On Tuesday, onstage at the Unreal Fest conference in Seattle, Sweeney declared that the company is now “financially sound.” The...
Scientists have found a trio of stars dancing a high-speed cosmic do-si-do.
In fact, the stars' tempo is so rapid, astronomers have labeled this a new record: Here, a pair of stars orbit each other in less than two Earth days, while a third makes a trip around them in 25 days. Before this discovery, the fastest known three-star grouping was Lambda Tauri, with its farthest star circling in 33 days.
It took 68 years to beat the record holder. A NASA satellite, MIT researchers, artificial...

I am not a business coach. But as life in corporate America shifts, I’ve become a version of one to many of my C-suite clients who now find themselves in a career holding pattern. As the ground shifts beneath these executives, they are suddenly mighty curious about the lessons I’ve learned from four decades of navigating the kind of...

We’re back for another day of the SB Nation in-5 daily trivia game, and we’re returning to our system of a new article each day for the game.
We tried using a single article for the game, updated with the latest game each day, but it was creating a bit of an unwieldy experience in the comments. So, we’ll have the current day’s game plus the previous three days in each...

Opens in a new window ...TL;DR: Save 75% on this classic MacBook Air with a refurbished model while supplies last.
Like almost everyone, I’ve always wanted a Mac. Maybe it was watching Carrie Bradshaw write with one or seeing them around my college campus, but the price tag always kept me a (regretfully) loyal PC user. Then I heard about refurbished MacBook deals. I nabbed a MacBook Air for only $239.99 (a $999 value) — can you believe it?
How is it so cheap?Refurbished laptops are pre-owned computers that are...
Nuclear fuel lasts a long time. But not forever.
Both Voyager craft, launched in 1977, convert heat produced by the decay of radioactive plutonium-238 into electricity. Over the decades, NASA engineers have strategically shut off instruments to extend the life of Voyager 1 and 2, which are respectively well over 15 and 12 billion miles away. As their mission nears a half century, this fuel is dwindling, and the agency just turned off another gadget on Voyager 2, leaving it with four remaining...
"Stunning" doesn't even begin to cover it, but RaMell Ross' Nickel Boys is one of those rare Hollywood productions — perhaps alongside this year's I Saw the TV Glow — that feels aesthetically transformative. A moving film about a violent reform school in 1960s Florida, it adapts Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Nickel Boys in a particularly arch manner, bringing to life its story of young Black teens caught in an oppressive system (as well as the real events on which...
Over-the-ear headphones are everyone's usual go-to solution for blocking out the world. And listen, I get it. You couldn't pry my Sony WH-1000XM4s out of my cold dead hands. But honestly, as much as I love them, carrying around a clunky pair of headphones when I'm on the go is not ideal. I want a pair of headphones to tuck in my pocket that will still block out noise. That's the promise of the best noise-cancelling earbuds

NASA's about to launch a huge spacecraft to a world harboring voluminous seas.
Planetary scientists suspect Jupiter's moon Europa contains an ocean at least twice the size of Earth's. The Europa Clipper probe — which is the length of a basketball court and the largest craft the agency has sent on a planetary mission — is slated to blast to this distant realm on Oct. 10. Before the launch, NASA released a new detailed view of the moon's cracked surface, which shows why for decades...

Stefan Sagmeister is one of the most famous designers in the world, known for projects ranging from album covers for the Rolling Stones and David Byrne to branding for Levis and BMW to his experimental documentary on happiness. With an emphasis on an artist’s hand, Sagmeister cut through a century of strict geometries to define the visual style of the ’90s in...
Stellantis denies breaking the terms of the labor contract it signed with the United Auto Workers union only a year ago.
