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.

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.

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…
