The INSIDER Summary:

• HBO's "Westworld" player piano's music choice says a lot about the scene.

When you're watching Westworld, pay special attention to the player piano in the saloon — at key moments, it could kick in a little Soundgarden, Rolling Stones, or even Radiohead for the paranoid androids and human guests inhabiting its world. It might seem both thrilling and a bit disconcerting when you first hear modern music in the Wild West setting, and that's the point... Читать дальше...

There's no shortage of tips about what brings happiness, but what gives your life meaning?

"Meaning in life" is one of those things everybody insists is vitally important — yet nobody tells you what it really is, and directions to get there never seem to come up on Google Maps.

I had to take geometry to graduate high school but knowing what a rhombus is has never helped me.

Nobody thought it was important to teach me about meaning. Seriously, my air... Читать дальше...

Economists are feeling pretty good about China's growth prospects.

Morgan Stanley's Robin Xing and Jenny Zheng raised their GDP forecasts to 6.7% from 6.4% for this year, and to 6.4% from 6.2% for 2017, according to their report Monday. In spite of bearish calls from The International Monetary Fund, prominent investors, and even Chinese billionaires, Xing and Zheng think China's "strong fiscal support and better-than-expected external demand" warrants an upgrade.

Researchers have discovered a mysterious patch of Earth in China that remains frozen, even throughout the hottest summers.

Patches of permafrost aren't unusual in particularly cold or elevated parts of the planet, but the weird thing about Pingquan County in Northern China — where the "cold Earth" has been discovered — is that it isn't really either of those.

As Ross Pomeroy reports for RealClearScience, the frozen Earth patch first came to scientists' attention in the summer of 2011... Читать дальше...

FORT BLISS, Texas — On Sunday, the only nation to have pulled off the unwelcome feat of testing nuclear weapons this century celebrated a controversial anniversary.

On October 9, 2006, North Korea became the eighth nation to join the world's nuclear weapons club with its testing of a nuclear device in the North Hamgyong Province.

The underground detonation was largely viewed as a failure due to its low yield of about one kiloton of energy followed by a registered... Читать дальше...

Benjamin Franklin began and ended each day with a question: "What good shall I do this day?" in the morning, and "What good have I done this day?" in the evening.

In fact, many great thinkers embraced the idea of constantly questioning things.

As Albert Einstein reportedly said, "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."

Of course, getting into the habit of self-reflection is easier said than done... Читать дальше...

Waiting for your house to sell can be one of the most stressful times of your life.

You may not be able to move until you sell, or maybe you're making extra mortgage payments each month until you get your house off the market.

So why is it taking so long for your house to sell?

1. Your house is overpriced

Just like any other item, price is critical when selling a house. You might think that a potential buyer would simply make an offer at a lower price, but that doesn't always happen. Читать дальше...

Guys, guys: I've got a great story for you. Just now, as I was sitting down to write this article, I picked up my seltzer can and threw it in the recycling bin. It was so easy! The trash can was far away — but the recycling was right there within arm's reach of my desk! It was the easiest decision in the world not to walk halfway across the newsroom to dump it in the trash instead.

Boban Marjanovic emerged as a sort of cult hero for the San Antonio Spurs last season, and it paid off.

The 7-foot-3 Serbian center signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Detroit Pistons in the offseason, reaping the rewards for the potential he showed in averaging 5 points and 3 rebounds in nine minutes per game.

Andy Lyons/GettyThough the Spurs will miss him, head coach Gregg Popovich also knew Marjanovic was going to get offers in free agency. Читать дальше...

Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile did not, as a series of media outlets reported, leak questions to Hillary Clinton before a CNN town hall in March, a top Democratic official said on Tuesday.

OPEC's November 2014 decision to not cut production has been interpreted as the moment Saudi Arabia decided to go after market share rather than boost prices.

Two years later — and after the cartel's recent surprise agreement to limit production at its upcoming November meeting — it's worth checking in to see how this strategy has worked for them.

The verdict? Not so great, according to Michael Tran, commodity strategist at RBC Capital Markets. And that's... Читать дальше...

The Comedy Central celebrity roasts have made fun of everyone from William Shatner to Justin Bieber over the years, but the behind-the-scenes story of Donald Trump's time in the roastee chair has brought some interesting insight.

For the 2011 Trump roast, the real-estate mogul and now Republican presidential candidate was reportedly open to jokes about anything — except his wealth. And he reportedly even rewrote some jokes himself to help out in that regard.

Getting thrown off by a hard interview question can be frustrating. But hiring managers toss curveballs all the time.

They ask difficult questions because they want to see whether you can think on your feet and how you behave under pressure, among other things. And how you answer these queries can make or break your chances of landing the job.

While the number of available jobs is rising, workers’ skills and technology-driven jobs may be at odds. Here’s what societies could do to address the impact that automation and artificial intelligence may have on labor.

More than 4,000 people are homeless in San Jose, California. The 10th largest city in the US has long run out of beds to keep them sheltered.

A new law will make the city, located an hour's drive south of San Francisco, the first in the state to legally permit construction of tiny homes for the homeless, the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Starting in January, the city will temporarily make an exception to state building, safety, and health codes and build houses so small... Читать дальше...

The world's attitude toward North Korea tends to swing between playful mocking and genuine horror. 

Like dictatorships before it — namely, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia — North Korea tends to embody that range of emotion through its architecture.

On the one hand, there's the country's fondness for pastel hues, which recall 1950s Americana. But on the other, there are the towering concrete buildings that shroud observers in their shadow.

In a country that keeps so much under wraps... Читать дальше...
