The Tesla Model 3 Standard came out of nowhere, and it mostly flew under the radar at first, considering that everyone's attention was pinned on the Model Y Standard. But now that the dust has settled, the cheapest new Tesla EV is making headlinesand not because of its lack of creature comforts. Starting from $38,630, the most affordable Tesla out there has an EPA-rated driving range of 321 miles on a full charge, which is anything but bad. Here's the thing, though: it just beat that estimate in Edmunds' independent range test, where it drove nearly 6% over the official estimate.

After 20 years inside some of the world's most iconic companies, the moment I stepped out, what both sides were missing became unmistakably clear. As an executive, pitches never stop. Everyone believes they've cracked your problem - they just need a moment of your time to prove it. Each conversation starts with the same confidence: that they've discovered a capability you were oblivious to, one that will unlock what your own organization somehow failed to see.

From human resources and operations to marketing and finance, systems ensure that every process, task, and decision fits into a larger framework of purpose and productivity. A well-designed business system transforms chaos into clarity, allowing teams to understand their roles, measure outcomes, and identify areas for improvement. Systems can be tangible, such as software and workflow tools, or intangible, such as organizational culture and communication protocols. Regardless of their type, their purpose remains the same: to create consistency and reliability.

Veteran RPG developer and Fallout co-creator Tim Cain argues that modern games have forgotten some lessons of history--a point he made in a recent YouTube video--you can watch the full video below--responding to a viewer's question about whether older titles contain any supposed lost wisdom. Cain's answer--"Yes, there is. Good question." Looking back at his own early years in the industry, he describes an era with only programmers and some artists, but no narrative designers, and far fewer competing priorities.

Claire is 35, a highly accomplished architect known for her precision, discipline, persistence, determination, and clarity of thought. She has never been one for shortcuts. Through school and university, she was the kind of student who turned in clean drafts weeks before deadlines, earning her reputation as the straight-A girl who never left loose ends. Her teachers valued her efficiency, her peers respected her output, and her supervisors quickly learned she could be trusted with complex projects.

If you're talking about productivity improvements - improvements of service of the value of £45 billion - that could be delivered with existing spending. I think that is more achievable. There is certainly kind of inefficiency, duplicative spending across the public sector that you could spend more effectively so but without knowing more about where that £45 billion comes from, it's harder to say.

Satisfactory should be a boring game because, at its core, it's really about logistics. You'll manage power usage, conveyor belt and production speeds, rail stops, and more. But instead, it's a compelling, tactile game that, yes, asks you to do all of that, but puts you in the middle of the factory in a first-person perspective. Once you build a factory line, you can walk along and see every step of it close up, and even grab a piece off of the production lines.

Many corporate legal departments and law firms have gone "all in" on alternative fee arrangements, while others have chosen not to adopt them at all. After more than a decade in common use, only an average of 23% of legal work is performed under an AFA despite wide acknowledgement of their benefits. Why does this divide exist? It's not just about financial risk but also execution. The main benefit of implementing AFAs into legal operations is that it simplifies legal billing by shifting the focus from hours worked to value delivered. However, many organizations unintentionally introduce complexities that diminish their effectiveness.

"It's a whole new way of riding transit that's faster and more convenient," BART General Manager Bob Powers said. "Transit agencies across the Bay Area are updating their schedules at the same time."

Gradual changes or improvements in product development are crucial, similar to the human body where cells regenerate every 7-10 years, aiding in the overall enhancement.

The GSEs are implementing a redesigned Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) that consolidates forms into a single, data-driven layout. This streamlines conventional lending appraisal forms into one consistent standardized report.

Across the globe, legal professionals face increasing pressure to deliver high-quality work quickly, struggling with silos of applications that hinder workflow efficiency.

Recruiting is about building the right team. Our goal was to create a cost-effective platform for real producing managers who want to grow their footprint.

Unfortunately, the capacity investment we make over the last several years were well ahead of demand and were unwise and excessive. Our factory footprint has become needlessly fragmented.

"The immediate thing that hit me once I started bringing clips onto the timeline was just how buttery smooth it all was."

Hendler's "drip drop" system, meaning "daily rotation is peace" for DRIP and "Done? Return object promptly" for DROP, promotes daily chores for an organized home.

Amazon's smart-home business requires employees to demonstrate AI use for promotions, emphasizing efficiency in management roles as part of a new policy from Jamie Siminoff.

Creating a custom object and transforming it into JSON involves additional overhead due to object instantiation and property setting. For high-volume web API calls, this could lead to performance bottlenecks.

Optimize for maintenance, not creation. Maintaining processes is often more complex than executing them-but it's essential nonetheless! Effective maintenance is your evidence of operational consistency and quality.

The Saker Mini Electric Chain Saw makes pruning jobs twice as quick compared to handheld saws, featuring a lightweight design and a simple single-button operation.

A launch calendar brings structure, showing what needs to happen, when, and by whom. It aligns teams, surfaces bottlenecks early, and gives you room to adapt when plans shift.
