Spain's tourism is still booming, with record numbers of international visitors. A travel industry expert said mass protests are unlikely on their own to deter travelers. AdvertisementProtesters in Spain staged massive demonstrations against overtourism this year that made headlines worldwide — especially after spraying tourists in Barcelona with water guns. The tourism protests intensified in April when an estimated 20,000 to 50,000 people in the Canary Islands demanded tourism limits be enacted. The protests, however, could impact government policy in a way that may help curb or better manage tourism in the future, Eylon said.

Like many baseball stadiums around the country, Tropicana Field's geographic location makes it vulnerable to hurricane winds or tornado-force winds, hail, storm surge and flooding. NFL stadiums could experience $11 billion in climate-related losses by 2050, according to a new report released by the climate risk analysis company, Climate X. Climate X said it's a wake-up call for state and local governments. If you had a problem there yesterday, that doesn't mean that it's going to be there tomorrow," said Kamil Kluza, co-founder of Climate X. The risks from changing weather patterns go far beyond hurricane winds and flooding.

Analysts told BI it points to continued AI chip growth in the short to medium term. ASML sells large lithography machines — which print circuit patterns onto silicon wafers — to chip manufacturers, including TSMC, Samsung, and Intel. Its customers include Nvidia, the GPU designer spearheading the AI chip boom, along with AMD and Qualcomm. This makes TSMC a good bellwether for AI chip demand. While a slowdown at ASML might suggest some caution, the bigger picture still points to a continued surge in AI demand.

At 11, my kid came out as nonbinary and changed her name and pronouns. I immediately accepted my kid's new name but accidentally deadnamed her on a trip. Saundrah and Annika went to get bubble tea, so I asked my kid if she wanted to go, too. When she didn't react to me deadnaming her on our trip, I realized she had made peace with the transition. I'd like to think this shift happened in part because she's been 100% supported in her gender journey.

AdvertisementCheng says he has never worked a corporate job; he's always been a comedian and an online poker player. Jason RoederBut this snark, typically found on X, has seeped into LinkedIn, a much rosier, earnest platform. Roeder quit X and started writing joke posts on LinkedIn about a year ago, he said, after becoming "disillusioned" with what X has become. LinkedIn posts can expose just as much about one person's struggle to find work as they can about another's boasted success. Cheng said the posts had helped him to get comedy gigs, but they've also unlocked new work on the platform itself: as a LinkedIn ghostwriter for executives.

I've learned that if I want to form a new habit, promising someone I will doesn't work for me. AdvertisementWhen I was a teenager, I developed a habit of repeatedly promising my mother I would go on a diet. When I'm struggling to change a habit or face a tough decision, I sometimes use art to depict my mental state. Ever since, I've been able to moderate my pace by watching the person I'm eating with — usually Barry, my husband, who tends to eat slower than I do. Many people use computer software or apps to track their habits, but I'm old-fashioned and prefer the mind-body approach of handwriting.

Netflix is rolling in cash. What a turnaround!
  + stars: | 2024-10-17 | by ( Peter Kafka | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Netflix makes money. Netflix is actually bringing in so much money that it is turning a profit, while its competitors struggle to break even. And Netflix financed all that cash incineration by taking on many billions of dollars in debt. In 2019, Netflix had negative cash flow of $3.3 billion. That doesn't mean Netflix is going to go hog-wild on spending now that its thesis has been borne out.

New developments show the path for Western banks trying to exit Russia has gotten tougher. Moscow will block the sale of Western bank assets to local Russia buyers, sources told Bloomberg.
