However, the data that the Fortune staff was compiling was primarily for internal use. It wasn’t until 1955, when then-assistant managing editor of the magazine, Edgar P. Smith, argued that readers would be interested in the information, and he turned out to have made the correct bet. “In its entirety, the 500 has been a wide window on the U.S. economy and a reference point for all. It has been cited by Presidents and Congressmen, dissected by economists, and viewed by business leaders,” former Fortune editor-at-large Carol Loomis wrote for the 40th anniversary of the list. In 1955, Fortune…

Superyachts are the ultimate status symbol for royal families, oligarchs and billionaires from Jeff Bezos to Bernard Arnault. The floating palaces are a source of fascination and secrecy — and greenhouse gas emissions. The planet-warming pollution caused by luxury vessels that benefit the very few has led lifestyle social scientist Gregory Salle to dub them a form of “ecocide” and “conspicuous seclusion” in his new book, Superyachts: Luxury, Tranquility and Ecocide. There are almost 6,000 superyachts — that is, vessels over 30 meters (100 feet) — at sea, according to a report earlier this year by media and market intelligence company SuperYacht Times.…

We will not, I say it again,…
Stanford University will reinstate the SAT or ACT as a requirement for undergraduate admission, joining a rush by other selective schools to bring back standardized testing after a pause during the pandemic. The new policy will cover students applying in the fall of next year for admission to the class of 2030, Stanford said in a statement Friday, citing an interval review that found the tests are “an important predictor of academic performance.” Testing will remain optional for students applying this year.

I’m picky when it comes to portable chargers. There are plenty of power banks out there with built-in cables and wall plugs, but in a crowded market, it takes a lot more than a 10,000-mAh capacity to catch my eye. That’s why I was shocked that Raycon’s Magic Power Bank not only did everything I ever wanted but also some things I didn’t know I could want from a portable battery. And then I discovered the built-in phone stand. This power bank’s 10,000-mAh capacity is enough to charge your phone around two times. It also has two charging cables built…
