Critical Role recently released "Candela Obscura," a gothic horror roleplaying game. These qualities make O'Brien ideal for stepping into the game master role for "Candela Obscura," Critical Role's new gothic horror game, and he's leaning hard into the tragedy.

Goldman Sachs partner Brian Robinson at 200 West Street. The sign that Goldman Sachs partner Brian Robinson created. Robinson's mission to revamp leadership — from his high C's to neon sign creations — appears to be rubbing off on clients and colleagues alike. He is currently making one for a Goldman partner with a fifth-floor office who asked for a customized sign to hang in that workspace, he said. The goal, he said, is for the signs to stand on the walls of Goldman Sachs "for years and decades to come."

A few months ago I was helping my mom revisit her homeowners insurance to see if she should add an earthquake insurance policy. Dahl explains that homeowners insurance and earthquake insurance are two completely different policies. The California Earthquake Authority, which provides most of the earthquake insurance policies where I live, has deductibles starting at 5%. So if your home is insured for $500,000 under your earthquake insurance policy, it should also be insured for $500,000 for your homeowners insurance. Earthquake insurance includes some exceptionsWhile earthquake insurance technically includes most damage and destruction to your home in the case of a ground tremor, there are some exceptions, such as a fire.

Here are five things parents should try to never do if they want to raise successful, resilient kids, according to psychologists and other parenting experts. Resilient children typically have the confidence to bounce back from failures and continue taking necessary, calculated risks, research shows. "The more you trust your children to do things on their own, the more empowered they'll be," she wrote. "The most accomplished people reached their goals by failing along the way," wrote Morin. Kids learn more, and remember what they learn, when they're actively curious, research shows.

But increasingly, the algorithms that undergird our digital lives are making questionable decisions that enrich the powerful and wreck the lives of average people. There's no reason to be scared of AI making decisions for you in the future — computers have already been doing so for quite some time. As human control diminished, the real-world consequences of these algorithms have piled up: Instagram's algorithm has been linked to a mental-health crisis in teenage girls. AdvertisementAcross the public and private sectors, we've handed the keys to a spiderweb of algorithms built with little public insight into how they make their decisions. While generative AI is just the newest extension of the algorithm, it poses a unique threat.

Where's the killer app for the Apple Vision Pro? AdvertisementRemember back in February, when Apple launched its Apple Vision Pro headset and there was a flurry of interest in the $3,500 goggles? He notes that when Apple Vision Pro launched in February, it had four immersive video experiences available, and now there are … five. It's worth noting that Thompson isn't an Apple Vision Pro naysayer.

Having fun doing what you love — like surfing at Los Pinos, my favorite break in Mazatlán, Mexico — is one of the greatest pleasures of retirement. I'd been a journalist in California, so I started an English-language magazine and published it monthly for a decade. But being retired presents a new, unexpected set of challenges, too. It really doesn't matter, and I do such a small amount of freelance work that those deadlines are easy to meet. At times, I feel desperate or determined to do at least some of the things I've always wanted to do.

Read previewWhen Georgia Hunter began researching her family history and writing "We Were the Lucky Ones" in 2008, she didn't expect it to become a bestselling novel, and even less a Hulu series that she'd coproduce. For books specifically, it can help when a novel or series has had great success in stores, but it's not the only consideration. He's a decades-long friend of both Hunter and Lipez, the showrunner, who he brought the book to in 2019. The audience success of the novel certainly helped in making the decision to adapt the book, too, Helman said. "The book and the true story of these characters were mothers and fathers who wanted to protect their children.

The Securities and Exchange Commission's chair, Gary Gensler, recently warned about "AI washing," or companies giving off a false impression that they're using AI so they can amp up investors. And while some companies are simply exaggerating the tech they do legitimately use, others have taken it a step further. Most companies aren't being accused of breaking the law with their AI chatter, but they're definitely posturing around it. An analysis from Goldman Sachs found that 36% of S&P 500 companies mentioned AI in their fourth-quarter earnings calls, a record high. Even the Big Tech companies that are really moving and shaking in AI are on shifty ground at times.
