Berkshire Hathaway Home Services

Ross Levinsohn — Yahoo's former head of global media and interim CEO who was famously replaced by Marissa Mayer in 2012 — is apparently trading homes in Los Angeles.

He just sold the Brentwood home he's owned since 2011, selling it for $7.65 million in an off-market deal, property records on OpenHouse Realty show.

That's more than $2 million more than the $5.625 million he paid for it five years ago.

Just a few days later, according to property records... Читать дальше...

"Trampolines are scary. And it's worse the higher you bounce," says former world-class trampoliner Adrien Sommier, who was once ranked No. 2 in Europe.

Trampolines are also dangerous. They cause nearly 300,000 injuries a year, researchers say.

But trampolines are also wildly fun.

Sommier says that jumping on a trampoline and running a startup are very similar.

He founded a company called Amplement in France in 2013. It's an online collaboration site that hopes to replace Slack... Читать дальше...

If you're itching to start a company out of a garage, then you shouldn't pick up and move to Silicon Valley, according to Google cofounder Sergey Brin.

It's easier to start a company outside the Valley than in it, he said onstage at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit.

"I know that sort of contradicts what everyone here has been saying," he said with a laugh.

Google got started at Stanford University, where the conference is taking place. Читать дальше...

Jack Daniel's

The world's best-selling American whiskey has had few masters in its 150-year history, and even they don't know all its secrets.

Jeff Arnett, the current Master Distiller for Jack Daniel's, admitted he didn't know why the brand was called Old No. 7.

"There's a lot of I guess mystery and myth that has formed around it whether it was a lucky number or whether it was a recipe number," Arnett told Business Insider.

Arnett worked at the Lynchburg, Tennessee... Читать дальше...

The cosmos are majestic place.

They remind us at once of our insignificance on the grand scale of the universe, and the absolute miracle of the fact that we get to live here and witness it all.

They're also a place we like to mount weird junk on giant rocket boosters and fire into. Because, you know, humans gonna human.

Without further ado, here are the weirdest things we've sent into space:

One of the most innovative schools in the world is now little more than floating pile of driftwood.

After getting pummeled by a heavy rain storm in early June, the Makoko Floating School — located just outside Lagos, the country's capital — now sits in the lagoon as a crumpled version of its former self.

The collapse strips the local community of its meeting center and space for elementary education, both desperately needed in the poor region.

Typical morning: Wake up for work. Post #IWokeUpLikeThis selfie on Instagram. Put on your best "It's Monday and I'm late" outfit. Frantically search for keys. Get into your car. Wait impatiently at the Starbucks drive-thru. Rinse and repeat for the next four days.

Did you know? Simply by performing your daily morning rituals, you may be causing your paycheck to take a serious hit.

But how big of a hit, exactly?

A top adviser to Hillary Clinton said Friday that Donald Trump's post-Brexit press conference from his Scottish golf course was "pathological" and offered proof he's a "reckless and erratic egomaniac."

"Donald Trump actively rooted for this outcome, and he's rooting for the economic turmoil in its wake," said Jake Sullivan, senior policy adviser with the Clinton campaign, during a conference call with reporters. "He said that the falling British pound is good for his golf business. Читать дальше...

Markets got whacked after the UK voted to leave the EU on Friday, with European stocks posting the worst daily drop in almost eight years.

But according to Mohamed El-Erian, the Brexit also presents some long-term investment opportunities.

"We'll see pretty sharp movements" in the short term, he said in an interview with CNBC on Friday. "But there will also be opportunities for those who have cash in the days and weeks ahead."

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones" season six.

The "Game of Thrones" fandom is known for its artistic approach to celebrating the epic series. From large-scale art installations to miniature paper shields, we never tire of seeing artists' and designers' interpretations. One artist in particular has stood out this season for his whimsical GIF series: Eran Mendel.

Mendel is an illustrator, animator, and animation director based in Tel-Aviv, Israel. He's a big fan of the show... Читать дальше...

A typical airplane could take a passenger from New York to London in about 7 hours. This is already a remarkable achievement as it took weeks or even months to travel the same distance by ships, before commercial plane travel. Now, Oscar Viñals has envisioned a supersonic jet that could shorten travel time even more.

Friday was a historic day in markets after the UK's vote to leave the EU shocked global markets and sent risk assets the world over into a tailspin.

Looking just at US markets, overnight futures cratered as S&P 500 futures went limit-down — meaning that trading was halted — after falling 5%.

After a small bounce following the market open, US stocks slid through the afternoon and closed off the lows but with sharp losses that erased year-to-date gains for the S&P 500 and Dow. Читать дальше...

It’s rare that critics are not invited to a press screening before a major movie hits theaters, but it happened with “Independence Day: Resurgence.” (What’s even stranger is that some journalists overseas got a screening, while the US was shut out.)

This often means the studio knows it doesn’t have a good movie and is trying to soften the blow (but, inevitably, this just makes things worse).

So a brave group of critics went to the movies Thursday night to see “Independence Day: Resurgence” for themselves.

Amazon's hugely popular and important cloud-computing division, Amazon Web Services, has a classic problem: It can't hire qualified engineers fast enough.

Following the UK's decision to leave the EU, one of many questions that has arisen is how the decision will affect English football and the English Premier League. The initial consensus is that the Brexit will not have any adverse consequences on the EPL, at least not any major ones.

The issue is having international athletes playing for clubs and their eligibility to work in Britain — specifically the ability for foreigners to obtain work visas — as well as how that would be interpreted. Читать дальше...

You might be surprised to hear this, but I did not win the $1.6 billion jackpot in January. I have, however, won earned almost half a million over the course of my lifetime, and with it comes a number of perks similar to that of winning the lottery.

Already, more Americans die from heat waves than from all other natural disasters combined, according to NYC.gov. And the situation will get worse over the next 60 years. 

By 2080, the number of hot days is expected to triple. As many as 3,331 people could die from heat exposure every summer in New York City if no steps are taken to adapt to climate change and reduce emissions.

This warning comes from a new study from Columbia University published in Environmental Health Perspectives. Читать дальше...

There are so many way to free up storage on your iPhone.

Some popular ways to keep free space on your iPhone include using Google Photo's free unlimited cloud storage for photos and streaming music.

No résumé is perfect. Even those of highly successful executives are at least a little bit flawed.

Amy Adler, a certified master résumé writer, management coach, and career strategist for executives — who has read around 4,000 executives' résumés in her life — says that there's one common mistake many of these people make.

"Executives typically have broad, deep, and successful careers," she tells Business Insider. "However, it's astonishing that... Читать дальше...
