The unemployment rate in the developed world is down to 5.5 percent and approaching a 40-year low. This flies in the face of all the dire warnings about a “jobless future.” The pessimist’s basic mistake is to focus too much on what is lost to competition and technology, and too little on what is gained. Over the past 25 years, as McKinsey...

More than 70% of US fears robots taking over our lives, survey finds

A slim majority of Americans (54%) express more worry than enthusiasm...

The Downside of Baseball’s Data Revolution—Long Games, Less Action
October 18, 2017
After years of ‘Moneyball’-style quantitative analysis, major-league teams are setting records for inactivity The use of analytics, which has increased dramatically since the early 2000s, is one of baseball’s most acclaimed developments.

October 15, 2017
It’s about the shape and size of an almond, nearly as old as the dinosaurs, to whose reptilian brains it bears a considerable resemblance. When you’re walking home late at night, it’s shouting out to you, bogging you down with panic as you navigate your way in the dark, ready to jump at every corner at whatever or whoever might be hiding there.
