A sinkhole swallowed Nicolas Cage’s driveway. Yours might be next. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How to save America’s coastal neighborhoods. There is a kind of terror-tinged embarrassment that comes from dozing off on your beach towel on the sand, only to find a rising tide intrude upon your mid-nap bliss, lapping at your toes and sweeping away your sunglasses. It is a truth I relearn every June, one that arrives like the season’s first sunburn: The ocean is inevitable, and Poseidon always reclaims his own. Actor Nicolas Cage learned a far more serious — or more expensive, certainly — ver
We’re worrying about the wrong AI apocalypse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
America’s infrastructure was already hackable. Then came AI. Nearly two decades ago, a group of researchers at the Idaho National Laboratory ran a secret experiment, known as the Aurora Generator Test, on a massive emerald green diesel generator. Using 30 lines of code, they hacked into the generator’s virtual backroom, corrupting safeguards and flipping switches that left it out of sync with the rest of the power grid. Before an audience of electrical utility executives and energy department o
Elon Musk wants to put data centers in space. Should we let him? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What Big Tech’s sci-fi dream reveals about the infrastructure America actually needs. During a tense vote on a data center being built in her drought-stricken Arizona district last summer, Tucson City Councilmember Nikki Lee made an unlikely pitch: “We’re going to get a little out-of-this-world for a second, so just bear with me.” Like many of her constituents, Lee did not want Project Blue, a sprawling 290-acre data center, gobbling up an ounce of her local drinking water. “We need to put data

Read excerpt
“Pothole populism” is sweeping through New York. It just might change the city for the better. “If this is democratic socialism,” wrote one New Yorker under a mayoral Facebook post, “maybe it is the change we need.” She was referring neither to Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s heavily scrutinized plan for city-run grocery stores, nor to his pied-à-terre tax on the rich, nor even to his trademark — though thus far, unrealized — vision for fast, free buses and universal childcare. No, she was talking about
Dolly Parton was even more generous than you knew (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The late icon made being a good person look easy. Dolly Parton was on her way to the studio to polish off “Blue Smoke” when the SUV she was riding in collided with a sedan in a Nashville intersection in 2013. At the hospital, she struck an unlikely friendship with her physician, Naji Abumrad, who, like Parton, was raised in a misty mountain village, hers in East Tennessee and his in Lebanon. “It’s just like how you meet people in your life. You just click, you just feel like you know them,” Par
