I started teaching my daughter to pack when she was 3 years old, which, I know, sounds inefficient at best and slightly unhinged at worst.Packing with a preschooler is slow. It turns a 30-minute task into a 90-minute one. It involves delicate negotiations over which stuffed animals are “essential,” last-minute outfit swaps as she re-discovers her favorite sparkly boots, and frequent distractions. If saving time today were the goal, I would simply do it myself.But my perspective changed after I heard versions of the same complaint from multiple mothers; they were still packing for their teenagers. Not just occasionally helping…
I knew visiting Intel’s chip factory would be different when they told me I couldn’t wear my regular deodorant.Or lotion. Or hairspray. Or makeup.Before I’d even boarded the plane to Oregon, Intel sent my videographer and me a long list of things we couldn’t wear or bring into its factory in Hillsboro. No Velcro. No Bluetooth. No phones unless they were on airplane mode. The list kept going.That was my first clue I was about to step into a place governed by a very different set of rules.In March, after months of planning with Intel, I got rare access to…
Traders are now pricing in a Federal Reserve rate hike before the end of 2026 following Friday’s stronger-than-expected jobs report. According to Bloomberg’s World Interest Rate Probabilities (WIRP) model, the implied overnight rate for the December 2026 Fed meeting has climbed to 3.87%, up
Throughout his life, my dad was incredibly focused on being successful and providing for our family, trying to ensure all of us had the best possible future.He was good at it, too. He built us a beautiful home by the beach, studied with me so I’d get straight A’s, and took our family on countless vacations to Hawaii and Yosemite — all while running a business and putting money into his retirement fund.Along the way, he postponed a lot of things he wanted to do, like finally taking that trip to Europe, buying his dream car, and relocating to Hawaii…
SA Asks: Will Tesla merge with SpaceX?
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Cara Katz. It has been edited for length and clarity.A little over a year ago, AI became more prevalent in my mom communities than it had been in years prior. I had been familiar with and using AI for about six years at work, where there was a lot of skepticism about its use — and back then, it wasn’t something we used at home. Fast-forward to about 18 months ago, and parents started using it to increase efficiency, saving time and maximizing output in their personal lives. At first, it…
Education across the US varies significantly across regions and state lines, but one place dominates national rankings for the opportunities it offers students.Business Insider recently ranked the most and least educated US states based on the share of adults 25 and older with a bachelor’s degree or higher, using 2024 Census data.Massachusetts ranked highest, with 48.3% of adults holding a bachelor’s degree or higher, and it also had the highest share of adults with advanced degrees, with 22.6% having a professional and graduate degree.That means nearly half of Massachusetts adults have a bachelor’s degree, and more than 1 in 5…
US stock indexes ended the week lower as a steep selloff in semiconductor shares rattled markets. Iran attacked Kuwait International Airport, prompting Israel and the US to consider further strikes, which increased oil prices and inflation concerns. Stronger-than-expected U.S. payrolls data
We got rare access inside Intel’s semiconductor operation in Oregon to see how some of America’s most advanced chips are made. As tensions with China rise, Washington is betting on Intel, the only American company that both designs and manufactures advanced chips in the US, to help rebuild domestic chipmaking. We visited its cleanroom, its R&D lab, and a packaging operation no media had ever visited before to see how Intel plans to do it.
For most of my life, I thought I hated all sports. My current quest to go to the World Cup doesn’t make sense to most people who know me. Yet, I am feverishly searching for World Cup tickets that won’t require me to take out a second mortgage on my house.I’m often mistaken for a sports fanI grew up in Philadelphia, which arguably has the most passionate fan base in the world. I can frequently be spotted in Eagles or Phillies gear. Like most Philadelphians, I have a huge crush on Gritty, the unhinged Flyers’ mascot who rose from the…
