Last week, hackers broke into Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, and strolled off with $6.3 billion in digital coins. The attack appears to be the biggest crypto heist on record, according to The New York Times. But now that withdrawals have reopened, plenty of users are ready to say bye-bye to Binance. Since Sunday, users pulled about $4.65 billion and deposited $1.01 billion, for a net outflow of $3.64 billion, most of it in the first few hours. Binance says that’s just 2.1% of the $171 billion it manages and that activity has since stabilized. Binance has promised to…
Burger King’s kids’ meals are all the rage — and not only with kids. Sales of the King Jr. meal jumped 40% year over year last quarter, reaching their highest level in a decade, according to Restaurant Business. The chain credits upgraded chicken nuggets, with sales up 35%, and a themed tie-in with the anime series Dragon Ball Super. But Burger King President Tom Curtis admits more adults are ordering the meals than he’s seen before. “We are definitely seeing more adults saying that’s their way to a smaller portion,” he says. Adults have long ordered kids’ meals for the…

Key Takeaways AI has made building nearly free — at a recent eight-week startup camp, most first-time founders had a working product within weeks. About 1 in 10 made a sale. First customers almost never come from strangers. Write down the 50 people who would take your call and start there. For your first sale, you are the funnel — it closes by text, phone or in person, not on a checkout page. Ads buy attention, not trust. This summer, more than 500 people from more than 50 countries joined an eight-week…
Exploring the night sky in Joshua Tree National Park with former NASA alien hunter Dr. Gary Blackwood Published November 2, 2026 08:41AMWhat’s on the outside of outer space? Nobody knows, not even a guy who spent 36 years at NASA. Paddy heads to the Reset Hotel outside Joshua Tree National Park to stargaze with Dr. Gary Blackwood, aerospace engineer, former NASA Exoplanet Exploration Program leader, and (yes) alien hunter. We get into why he’s convinced we’re not alone, how telescopes can sniff out breathing planets from light years away, the Habitable Worlds Observatory, the Belt of Venus, a Hurricane Hilary…
Published November 2, 2026 08:44AMI just wanted one picture of my son without a sea of people in the background. We were hiking The Narrows in Zion National Park, a bucket-list adventure that has you wading for miles through knee-deep water in the belly of a canyon. It’s awesome. It’s also crowded. And getting a photo to commemorate the adventure without a bunch of strangers in it was proving to be difficult. Crowds are simply a fact of life when it comes to visiting Zion, which has skyrocketed in popularity over the last 20 years, doubling its visitation rates from…
Updated November 2, 2026 09:09AMNovember 2026: After testing 63 midlayers while hiking, skiing, fat-biking and climbing in wintry weather, we named the Arc’teryx Atom Hoody our Best Overall pick for its do-it-all balance of warmth, breathability, and weather protection. The most durable option is Mountain Hardwear’s Kor Alloy Jacket. The best for ultra-cold conditions is the Marmot WarmCube Active Novus Hoody. Midlayers have an outrageously demanding job description. Unlike the super-puffy parkas and belay jackets that we wear to stay warm while hunkering down, midlayers provide insulation during activity—a role that calls for a true multi-tasker. Its duties include keeping…
A backpacker who’s been less-than-excited about hitting the trails makes the case for taking a break. (Photo: Canva)Published November 2, 2026 03:21AMAt the end of every racing season, my high school cross-country coach laid down the same strict decree: two full weeks off. No runs, no light jogs, no cheating. I hated the rule. I spent those two weeks pawing at the gates, desperate to keep moving for fear that I’d lose my fitness. But last month, as I blearily packed my bags for yet another day in the mountains, I found myself wishing more than anything that Coach Stasko…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Before you automate a deliverable, write down who will check it, how long that check should take and what happens when the check fails. The economic value of generated output depends on how cheaply and reliably a competent person can verify it in the real decision. The first time I watched a machine draft something that looked finished, I almost signed off. The language was clean. The structure made sense. Then I tried to check three claims against the source material and burned more time reconstructing the case than the…
Nike rebuilt its flagship marathon shoe from the outsole up with the Alphafly 4. I put it to the test to see if the changes are an improvement on its stellar predecessor, the Alphafly 3. (Photo: Cory Smith)Published November 1, 2026 06:02AMThe Nike Alphafly is the flagship marathon super shoe from the company that invented the super shoe—and arguably the most iconic racing shoe ever made. It was on the feet of Eliud Kipchoge in 2019 when he became the first human to break two hours in the marathon, and again in 2022 when he ran his 2:01:09 official world…
