Zora once hailed as a promising NFT infrastructure platform, has come under fire following the launch of its ZORA token airdrop. Rather than being celebrated, the event quickly drew widespread criticism due to its controversial tokenomics, unclear utility, and an execution process that many users described as poorly managed.Lack of Utility, Lack of Trust in a For Fun TokenZORA has been described as a token with no clearly defined benefits for holders. The project openly stated that the token carries no governance rights, no equity representation, and plays no essential role in the operation of the platform.

US hotel performance drops during Passover, Holy Week

2025-05-16 19:45:03| Spiritual Career Counseling

U.S. hotels experienced a down performance week as expected due to spring holidays.In the week of April 13-19, 2025, U.S. hotel revenue per available room (RevPAR) fell 9.3%, with occupancy declining 5.4 percentage points and average daily rate (ADR) dropping 1.3%. The decrease was expected given that Passover began on the evening of Saturday, April 12 as well as Holy Week, the seven days before Easter on Sunday, April 20. This resulted in lower travel demand along with a difficult comparison to last year given that Easter was in March and Passover was later in the month.Holy Week performance generally in line with similar weeksThe RevPAR decline this Holy Week was larger than the 10-year average ending in 2019 (-9.3% vs. -3.5%). However, when compared to 2019 alone, the decline was in line. Last year, the measure was down 6% in the comparable week.Hotel demand was down 7.5% year over year, but compared to Holy Week 2024, the decrease was much less (-0.4%).

After years with Windows, I used the MacBook Air M4 for one week. Here's how it went

2025-05-16 07:45:03| Spiritual Career Counseling

When Apple announced the MacBook Air M4 earlier this month, it was clear that the laptop would be an incremental upgrade from last year's model, with the latest in Apple silicon and a host of software and AI-powered features. The fact that the 13-inch version was $100 less was a pleasant surprise, however, positioning it as a competitive choice in the current market.Also: I replaced my Windows PC with a Mac Studio - here are my takeaways after one weekI had a chance to test out the new MacBook Air M4 over the last week, and my initial findings reflect a device that's snappier, a little more polished, and ultimately an improvement on the device we all know and love.

Something quite unusual happened during Saturdays first ODI between New Zealand and Pakistan in Napier, as Black Caps number four, Mark Chapman, scored his third ODI century, helping his side post an imposing 344 for nine.What made this feat unique was that, while it was his first hundred for New Zealand, it wasnt his first in ODIs. In fact, before switching allegiance to the Black Caps, Chapman had already registered two centuries for Hong Kong, with unbeaten knocks of 124 and 101 against UAE and Scotland, respectively.By scoring an ODI ton for two different countries, Chapman has joined an elite and rare club.

I clicked on four sneaky online scams on purpose - to show you how they work

2025-05-16 07:45:03| Spiritual Career Counseling

I'm not a sucker, but I played one on the internet last month -- purely in the interest of science, of course. My text messages and email spam folder are filled with the usual assortment of shady stuff from online crooks. As a public service, I decided to play along with the bad guys to see what happens.Also: The best VPN services (and how to choose the right one for you)Before we get started, let me stress one thing: Don't try this yourself. I did my experimentation in virtual machines and sandboxed environments where I knew my personal data wasn't exposed. You might be tempted to click a link, just to see what happens. That's a very bad idea, because what happens can sometimes be catastrophic. So, a little bit louder now: Don't try this at home.The scams and online attempted attacks I encountered were all depressingly common. You've probably run across similar examples on your own devices. None of these crooks are criminal masterminds; for the most part, they're petty thieves trying...
