I remember that moment clearly: My buddy and I were about to cycle 62 miles from New York to Cold Spring. We’d already had two flat tires fixed, and 20 miles in, I was struggling to shift the rear derailleur on my Giant Defy bike up and down between the many sprockets. To my great embarrassment, I discovered that the battery in one of the electronic shifters had died, turning my previously high-tech bike into a very expensive 2-speed. I needed to charge it so I stopped at a bike shop in a lovely little town called Hastings-on-Hudson and had…
Astronomically speaking, it's shaping up to be a busy weekend, with a “supermoon” on Saturday and the vernal equinox on Sunday, heralding the arrival of spring. The moon is closest to Earth due to the gravitational pull of the sun once every 18 years, and on Saturday during this time the full moon will be bigger and brighter than usual. “It's called a supermoon, and it's a few percent larger than a normal full moon,” said George Royer, director of the Valley of the Moon Observatory Association's Robert Ferguson Observatory. “It's interesting, but we won't know until we measure it.…

What's interesting is that, as MoffettNathanson pointed out in a 72-page research note published Monday, this win is already priced into the stock price, which is up about a quarter from its mid-April lows at about $225 a share. For a company with a market capitalization of more than $3.4 trillion, this is…
Brent Macon, host of “Macon Atlanta” I have come to believe that if we do not consciously choose how we want to live, capitalist market forces will automatically decide that for us, which will not necessarily serve our highest and best interests. This dynamic is what makes the age of AI so fascinating. We have a breakthrough technology that has the potential to fundamentally change how we work and relate to one another. What do we actually want AI to do for us? If we don't choose to “live the good life” (whatever that means to us), we're likely just…
