But the world of modular housing, which includes multi-unit apartment buildings and conventional-looking houses, is littered with companies that have gone bust. AdvertisementThese restrictive policies often reflect the lingering perception that factory-built homes are inferior to traditional housing, Erlich said. Investors aren't convinced there's sufficient and consistent demand for modular housing in most markets. They tend to be run by people with deep experience in the construction industry, Erlich said.

Russia appears to be targeting journalists with spyware known as Pegasus. Pegasus is a "zero-click" software, hacking phones by sending texts that don't need to be opened. Tech and privacy experts later revealed that Timchenko, leader of independent media outlet Meduza, had been targeted by the "zero-click" spyware Pegasus, The New York Times reported. Several other journalists affiliated with independent Russian media outlets reported receiving similar warnings from Apple on Thursday, according to the Times. Later that same year, a report revealed several US State Department employees living in or focusing on Uganda had also been hacked by the software, Insider reported.

☆ Crypto founders are running out of bank options after the collapses of SVB and Signature. Here's where they're scrambling to move their money.

Crypto founders face dwindling banking options after the collapses of Silvergate and Signature Bank. After back-to-back collapses of several crypto- and startup-friendly banks — Silvergate, Signature, and Silicon Valley Bank — crypto founders face a huge void. Silvergate and Signature, in particular, filled a vital role in the financial system for crypto startups, several founders told Insider. Well before the collapse of SVB and downfall of Signature, crypto founders had found banking havens outside the US in locales such as Dubai and Singapore. "It's a recurring conversation that crypto companies have that are based out of the states," she said.

☆ Un altar păgân dedicat zeului Pan, vechi de 1.800 de ani, a fost descoperit într-o biserică bizantină

Persoana care a gravat mesajul a rămas fără spațiu, alegând să micșoreze unele litere și pe altele să le inscripționeze în afara cadrului dreptunghiular al altarului. Dedicația a fost scrisă în greacă și cel mai probabil a fost compusă de un pelerin. El a construit acest altar din banii săi, pentru a împlini un jurământ pe care l-a făcut”, arată mesajul inscripționat pe altar. Oamenii îl venerau pe Pan la această cascadă încă din secolul al III-lea î.Hr., iar un templu dedicat lui Pan a fost construit aici în jurul anului 20 î.Hr. Mai apoi, zona a devenit un centru cheie al creștinătății timpurie, iar o biseriză bizantină a fost construită peste templul lui Pan în 400 e.n., scrie Live Science.
