Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Believe it or not, the best mattresses in a box are also some of the best mattresses you can buy, in general. But what exactly is a “mattress in a box”—or a “bed in a box,” as it’s sometimes called—you ask? It’s a bed that’s been compressed into a compact box which is then delivered to your door, eliminating the need schedule delivery and potentially saving you hundreds in set-up fees. Just haul your new vacuum-sealed bed in its place, then unbox it, unwrap it and watch it expand. Now that many top bedding brands like Helix, Nectar and Casper have mastered this technology, there are tons of high-end models to choose from including memory foam , hybrid and in some cases, innerspring styles. You’ll find popular picks like the Nectar Memory Foam and the Helix Midnight Luxe on this list, which also happen to ship in a box. Of course, there are a few downsides to this no-frills delivery; maybe you’d prefer a … [Read more...] about The Best Mattresses In A Box To Deliver Your Best Sleep Yet

David Benavidez Vs. Caleb Plant Set For March 25 Could Be A Classic
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin David Benavidez — one of boxing’s most ducked fighters — will get his biggest test. Benavidez will face Caleb Plant in a much-anticipated bout on March 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The 168-pound fight will be a PBC Showtime PPV. Benavidez and Plant — both former super middleweight champions — announced in November that they signed the grudge match after engaging in social-media wars for some time. "You can't hide from me anymore, I'll see you soon," Benavidez wrote on Instagram in November. The question leading up to the Plant-Benavidez fight: Can the boxer (Plant) beat the bruiser (Benavidez)? Their opposing styles could lead to a boxing classic.

‘Avatar’ Sequel Hits Great $2 Billion Box Office This Weekend
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Movie history will be made this weekend as Avatar: The Way of Water does what most said was impossible — the sequel will hit $2 billion at the box office, likely sometime on Friday or Saturday. Earlier this week the Avatar sequel replaced Marvel Studio’s Spider-Man: No Way Home as the 6th highest grossing movie of all time. The MCU sequel took a massive $1.9 billion worldwide to become the studio’s fourth title in the top 10 all-time list. Avatar: The Way of Water is already only the second franchise to have multiple films in the top 10, and once it inevitably replaces Avengers: Infinity War for the #5 spot on the chart, the Avatar franchise will be the only film series with two entries in the top 5 biggest grossers. James Cameron is currently the only filmmaker with three movies in the top 10, and one of only two sets of filmmakers — the others being the Russo Brothers with Avengers: Infinity War and … [Read more...] about ‘Avatar’ Sequel Hits Great $2 Billion Box Office This Weekend
‘Avatar’ Sequel Tops $2.1 Billion At Worldwide Box Office This Weekend
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Avatar: The Way of Water continues its remarkable theatrical run with another milestone this weekend. Writer-director James Cameron’s Avatar sequel will top $2.1 billion worldwide at the box office this weekend, and still has plenty of gas in the tank. But now we must prepare for Titanic’s 25th anniversary limited return to screens, setting up a potential slugfest between Cameron’s two blockbusters for the #3 spot on all-time box office lists. Titanic currently sits at $2.194 billion, but will significantly increase that total with its remastered 4K HDR 3D rerelease in February. Avatar: The Way of Water , meanwhile, will do its best to catch up and surpass Titanic , but it all depends on whether Titanic’s momentum carries it toward $2.3 billion while Avatar 2’s momentum finally starts to wane in the face of multiple competitors for screens and viewers as the month progresses. Besides Titanic , … [Read more...] about ‘Avatar’ Sequel Tops $2.1 Billion At Worldwide Box Office This Weekend
No Black Boxes: Keep Humans Involved In Artificial Intelligence
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin During the 1950s, Alan Turing proposed an experiment called the imitation game (now called the Turing test). In it, he posited a situation where someone—the interrogator—was in a room, separated from another room that had a computer and a second person. The goal of the test was for the interrogator to ask questions of both the person and the computer; the goal of the computer was to make the interrogator believe it was a human. Turing predicted that, eventually, computers would be able to mimic human behavior successfully and fool interrogators a high percentage of the time. Turing’s prediction has yet to come to pass, and there’s a fair question of whether computers will ever be able to truly complete the test. However, it’s both a useful lens to view the dynamic of how people view the potential capabilities of artificial intelligence and a source of irony. Though AI has amazing capabilities, it also has limits. Today, it’s … [Read more...] about No Black Boxes: Keep Humans Involved In Artificial Intelligence

Netflix Has Created A Self-Fulfilling Cancelation Loop With Its New Shows
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A couple weeks ago, I remarked that Netflix now felt like it was “actively stealing time from me.” I can almost not even remember which cancelation I was talking about at the time, given that there have been so many, but I believe it was 1899 , the new show from the creators of Dark, which like Dark, was set up as part of 3-season arc. Naturally, it was cancelled on a cliffhanger after a single season because it didn’t attract enough viewership or have enough people finish all the episodes in some arbitrary stretch of time. But what’s happened now is that this has happened so often with so many shows, that Netflix has created a self-fulfilling loop with many series that probably could have gone on to become valuable catalogue additions otherwise. The idea is that since you know that Netflix cancels so many shows after one or two seasons, ending them on cliffhangers and leaving their storylines unfinished, it’s … [Read more...] about Netflix Has Created A Self-Fulfilling Cancelation Loop With Its New Shows
