Aleksandr Sorokin ran 198.6 miles, the equivalent of nearly eight marathons, in a single day. We talked to the athletes and scientists pushing the limits of human endurance to find out why that’s so hard to do. It turns out six variables have to be perfectly aligned to break a distance-running world record. They include a metric called VO₂ max, cutting-edge footwear, and the athlete’s mindset. We looked at all of them. 00:00 – Intro 01:16 – VO₂ Max 05:06 – Form 08:38 – Footwear 13:04 – Fuel 17:00 – Environment 20:05 – The Mind 24:17 – How Far Can [See More…]

Inside America’s Only Internet Sea Cable Maker 0 (0)

Ninety-nine percent of international internet traffic flows through cables stretched across the ocean floor. Demand for these cables is at an all-time high as the world becomes more dependent on cloud computing and AI. But there’s only one company in America that’s capable of both making and laying them. We visited its 73-year-old factory and went onboard a multimillion-dollar cable-laying ship to see how the company is keeping up and why our data still needs to travel thousands of feet under the sea. 00:00 – Intro 01:08 – How Subsea Cables Work 02:02 – How Cables Are Made 04:59 – [See More…]

How Amazon’s Low Prices Raised Prices | So Expensive 0 (0)

The state of California is accusing Amazon of a price-fixing scheme that pushes wholesale vendors to raise prices at competing stores like Target, Walmart, Chewy, and Best Buy.

Business Insider obtained the full case file and reviewed hundreds of pages of documents and over a dozen email exchanges to investigate if Amazon uses its influence as the largest e-commerce company in the United States to [See More…]

How AI Data Centers Are Making Everything More Expensive 0 (0)

The rapid growth of AI data centers is creating a shortage of the memory chips used in everyday devices like laptops, phones, cameras, and gaming consoles. The world’s three largest memory chipmakers — SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron — are shifting production to High Bandwidth Memory, specialized microchips that power AI data centers, rather than the DRAM and NAND chips found in many consumer electronics. With fewer traditional chips being produced, tech manufacturers are paying more for components and passing the costs to customers through higher prices.

How Uber Uses AI To Charge You More 0 (0)

Uber once sold riders on a simple promise: Order a car right from your phone for less than a taxi. One major change happened behind the scenes: up-front pricing. Instead of relying on a predictable rate based largely on time and distance, Uber now uses algorithms and a range of real-time factors to determine what riders pay and what drivers earn. Since then, prices have risen dramatically. From 2018 to 2022, average Uber fares in the US rose 83%, nearly four times the annual rate of inflation. And when Business Insider employees requested the same UberX ride at the same [See More…]

9 Ways Everyday Life Is Becoming More Expensive 0 (0)

Business Insider has spent years covering the stories behind why certain items, services, and experiences are getting more expensive, and the reasons behind higher price tags aren’t always what you think. Airports have rules to keep prices in check, but our investigation uncovered that mandatory price audits aren’t always accurate.

And subscriptions are everywhere, transforming the economy from one where we own products to one where we can rent just about anything. We dug deep to understand nine aspects of everyday life [See More…]

The Real Reason Beef Prices Are So Expensive 0 (0)

Ground beef just hit a record $6.89 a pound, up 80% since 2019 — and nobody along the supply chain sees relief coming. Ranchers like Eric Gropper point to years of drought that have shrunk cattle herds to their lowest level in decades. Meanwhile, meatpackers have been hammered by labor shortages and plant closures. And restaurants have had no choice but to keep raising prices. But how much of this is the market, and how much is manipulation? Since the late 1970s, just four companies — Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef — have come to control roughly 80% of [See More…]
