The highest interest rates in years should lead to a fall in house prices. But peculiarities of America’s mortgage market are driving them up. Egg-freezing was supposed to give women more control over childbearing; we look at scant data showing how successful it really is (10:57). And remembering Isabel Crook, an anthropologist who embraced China’s communist transformation, warts and all (15:44).

Apple stock just lost $210B in value in just 2 days — Because China found an iPhone replacement.
Ikea just confirmed that their loopy maze-like store layout is both loved and lucrative — And there’s a psychological reason why.

While one network (Base) faced an outage, another (Ethereum) had a layer 2 leader grappling with the idea of an “Ethereum Supreme Court.”
On “Carpe Consensus,” host Danny Nelson is joined by CoinDesk tech reporter Sam Kessler to dive into the latest blockchain news.
[0:53] Coinbase’s Ethereum layer 2 blockchain Base experienced its first major outage since its launch, halting the production of new blocks for about 45 minutes. Sam explains what caused the outage and other vulnerabilities he’s watching.
[13:16] In crypto, the phrase “code is law” seems to assert that technology can thwart centralized individuals. But a proposal for an “Ethereum Supreme Court” gets Danny and Sam thinking – are blockchains already just social contracts, not straight code as we’ve been led to believe?
“Carpe Consensus” is executive produced by Jared Schwartz and produced and edited by Eleanor Pahl.
I’ve done many episodes talking about the first world war and I’ve done many episodes talking about the second world war.
However, despite the names we’ve given them, they weren’t the only world wars. There was another global war that occurred well before the 20th-century wars. This war actually saw conflicts on five different continents.
Learn more about World War Zero, the world war before the world wars, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

We're talking about the latest track of Hurricane Lee, now the strongest storm of this hurricane season.
Also, foundations representing nearly every American president from the last century did something they've never done before: came together to call for change.
Plus, a complex rescue mission is underway to save an American trapped in a cave, Apple has an urgent security update for all iPhones and iPads, and a stray dog picked his own new home that's full of people who especially needed his love.
In a new report, Hawai'i’s Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism estimates that because of the Maui fire damages, the state’s economy will lose about $1.9 billion through 2024. So while state tourism officials initially urged tourists to stay away from Maui, they’ve now started to encourage tourists to come back to other parts of Maui and other Hawaiian islands to boost the local economy. But that tourism comes with a price.
Today, the Florida Supreme Court will hear a case that could overturn 34 years of legal precedent regarding the right to abortion access. If successful, the state — which now provides the most abortion access in the Southeast — could quickly become a very different place for those seeking the medical procedure.
And in headlines: Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled that federal laws prohibiting abortion are unconstitutional violations of women’s rights, New York City Mayor Eric Adams called on government officials to provide more support for the city’s migrant crisis, and the South Florida city of Lake Worth Beach has become the state’s first LGBTQ+ sanctuary city.

Britain's Prince Harry may have received “preferential treatment” when granted his U.S. visa, according to Nile Gardiner of The Heritage Foundation.
Harry, the Duke of Sussex, publicly admitted to drug use in his recent memoir “Spare,” but it's not known whether the royal disclosed his drug use on his visa application, an admission that can slow the application process or result in its rejection.
The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of Homeland Security asking for a copy of Harry’s application. The request was denied, so Heritage filed a lawsuit, arguing that it is in the public's interest to know whether Harry lied or not on his visa application. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
“Everyone should be treated equally before the law,” says Gardiner, who formerly served as a foreign policy researcher for then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and currently serves as the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation.
“U.S. immigration law should be applied forcefully and fairly, without any kind of favor given to individuals applying,” Gardiner said.
If the royal “lied on his application, that is a very serious offense," he said. "That would be perjury.”
Gardiner joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the significance of the legal fight and the possible reasons why DHS has been unwilling to release Harry’s visa application.
