If you're planning on picking fifth in a PPR draft, the easiest first step in preparation is to rank your five favorite fantasy football players: five running backs, five receivers, a combination of two positions, or five quarterbacks if you're superflexible. I know I'll get one of those, easy. You can view my top 5 list along with 195 other players. I followed my list and chose the highest ranked players remaining. 1. Christian McCaffrey2. C.D. Lam3.

The impact of intergroup conflict on demographics has long been debated, especially in prehistoric and non-state societies. In their study, scientists from the Complexity Science Hub, the University of Washington, and the Leibniz Center for Archaeology believe that beyond the direct casualties of combat, conflicts can create “landscapes of fear” that can lead many non-combatants near conflict zones to abandon their homes and migrate. The Battle of Orsha by Hans Krell. “Around the world, scientists have extensively studied and debated the existence and role of prehistoric conflict,” said Dr Daniel Condor, a researcher at the Complexity Science Hub. “But it…
Google's new AI-based system for fielding questions before all-hands meetings is giving the company's leaders an easy way out, employees say. Previously, employees could post their own questions through an internal tool called Dory and vote for the ones they wanted answered at monthly staff meetings, known as TGIFs. Google executives, including CEO Sundar Pichai, would typically answer the questions with the most votes, Business Insider reported.

Google replaced Dory with a new AI-based system called Ask, which aggregates and…

When it comes to vacations, I was once a fervent believer in never going to the same place twice. Life is short, and airfare isn’t cheap, so why not see something new every time you go anywhere? So I embarked on our family’s recent two-week European escapade with an ever-so-slight indifference, seeing that the arc of our journey — Barcelona to Bordeaux to San Sebastian — covered grounds that we’d previously trod on past adventures. Of course, with so much to eat, drink, and experience, from tapas near the towers of Sagrada Familia to pintxos above the sun-soaked sands of…
Every game in Week 0 was much closer than expected. Florida State (-11.5) was the only team likely to lose, but Montana State won by 4 points instead of 12. SMU had to outscore Nevada 16-0 in the 4th quarter to beat Nevada by 5 points after being down 27.5 points. Hawaii beat Delaware State by 21 points instead of 39. Every current and former staffer guessed 2 of the 4 games, except me. I was 0 and 4. The commentators were 1-3. Now, I'm not sure how I feel about adding FBS-FCS games to this. Four of the SEC…
Apple shares have historically trended higher leading up to the tech giant's annual September product launch event. Now, the question remains: Will Wall Street be impressed this time by the new AI-enabled iPhone enough to allow the stock to sustain its recent gains?

Apple was able to outperform even as a three-week selloff from mid-July to early August sent the stock into correction territory as a rotation out of big…
