Hebrew National all beef for choice.

How Silicon Valley Pushed Coding Into American Classrooms

Code.org, a tech-backed nonprofit, is pressing schools to teach computer science. But are tech firms swaying education to serve their own interests?

Nestlé, Under Pressure From Hedge Fund, Plans Buyback

The Swiss food giant said it planned to buy back up to nearly $21 billion worth of its shares and also make new acquisitions.

They keep spoiling their brand.
Evil marketing is bad for business.

Travel

An Untamed Island Meets Its Match

The rugged nature of Horn Island in the Gulf of Mexico made it Walter Anderson’s muse. A few generations after his death, rising seas will likely subsume it whole.

Visiting would be worth passing through Mississippi.

Keeping Your iPhone Out of the Drop Zone

Apple’s AirDrop feature is a convenient way to share files directly between iOS gadgets, but make sure you know who wants to connect with you.

I have no Apple equipment.

I would need to update my phone.

I will do so if you repost this article.

It is a bad idea.

Facebook, Free Expression and the Power of a Leak

Social media platforms aren’t bound by the First Amendment. That’s why understanding their user speech policies is so important.

"The First Amendment protects our right to use social networks like Facebook and Twitter, the Supreme Court declared last week. That decision, which overturned a North Carolina law barring sex offenders from social networks, called social media “the modern public square” and “one of the most important places” for the exchange of views. The holding is a reminder of the enormous role such networks play in our speech, our access to information and, consequently, our democracy. But while the government cannot block people from social media, these private platforms can."

Another reason to avoid Facebook.

Use Signal.

The hedge fund mogul Daniel S. Loeb has called on the Swiss food giant to shed its stake in L’Oréal and broadly shake up its strategy.

Let Nestle rise or fall without help.

A playwright who liked to order in potpies.

Searching for Amelia Earhart, Once Again. This Time, There Are Dogs.

Researchers are making yet another trip to a tiny island called Nikumaroro in search of a legendary female aviator who may never have set foot there.

People need their hobbies.

Yes, it is a long time.
