Going long on fish sauce
Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 25/10/2025
» You notice it first by accident. A faint, familiar salty-sweet scene sneaks out from a kitchen vent in the East Village, sharp enough to cut through New York City's winter air. It doesn't announce itself, yet you know it instantly -- fish sauce. Somewhere between the bodegas and brownstones, Bangkok has quietly found a place to breathe.

Imagining a world without cash
Life, James Hein, Published on 08/05/2024
» How safe are you in a purely digital economy? If you are carrying cash, someone can of course rob you, or you can lose it or give it to someone. You can also have a stash of it at home for emergencies or for buying something from a garage sale. For the most part, you retain control over any cash you manage. Electronic cash can still be stolen and your ability to spend it can be taken by someone else if your details get into the wrong hands. However, it's convenient, just tap and go, or in some cases, just wave your smartphone over a pad. While you have no idea where your money actually is, a small piece of plastic, your watch or a phone can retrieve it for you for a payment. You can even use it to get cash from a wall.
