On May 2, 2024, I created a dating app profile that was equal parts funny, mysterious, and serious. Advertisement"I quit a month ago" didn't have the same impact as "I just quit my job!" Then, I wondered what would make me feel more confident if a date asked me about my next steps. The right person for me wouldn't put pressure on me to figure out my next job before I was ready. When I didn't feel interesting, I became interestedAs the job market tested my patience, I had nothing significant to share with my matches except anxiety.

But the terms' recent popularity suggests people want to understand how they fit into the broader economy beyond standard measurements.

Rachel Pohl, 34, who lived in San Francisco for several years, and her husband, Jesse Rosenthal, are just two of the people who left. They had been considering moving away from California for quite some time before leaving San Francisco in the fall of 2020. She has also found the people are more diversified in terms of jobs, as opposed to the dominance of tech in the San Francisco area. Realtor.com noted both San Francisco and Chattanooga as buyer's markets at the moment, where the "supply of homes is greater than the demand for homes."

Apple's scale and specificity of vision also make it the first Big Tech company to get AI integration right. The fact that people are disappointed in Apple says more about the hype around AI's capabilities than it does about Apple. In that way, Apple's cautious approach may be a service for the rest of the tech industry. By slowly acclimatizing its constellation of users to AI that makes their lives better instead of frustrating them, Apple makes the tech feel like a natural upgrade instead of an unreliable, scary intrusion. AdvertisementSure, Apple's AI may not be sexy or scary, but at least it doesn't seem stupid.

Read previewAn early passenger on OceanGate's Titan submersible didn't realize how close he was to experiencing the "catastrophic" failure that sealed the vessel's fate in 2023 until a year after the incident. In April 2019, Karl Stanley, a fellow submersible expert, joined his peer, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, near the Bahamas to take a dive in an early iteration of the Titan vessel. Stanley, Rush, and two other passengers successfully plunged more than 12,000 feet — a depth that closes in on the Titanic's wreckage, which sits at the bottom of the Atlantic at about 12,500 feet. According to Wired, this defect forced Rush to delay the trip to the Titanic and build another Titan submersible. "I just surfaced from a 4-hour dive," Stanley wrote to BI on Thursday.

AdvertisementBut these were pinprick attacks designed to embarrass the Kremlin and demonstrate that nowhere in Russia is safe from Ukrainian attack. The aircraft didn't appear to catch on fire, suggesting the damage wasn't catastrophic, perhaps to be expected from small drones with small warheads. The Akhtubinsk attack suggests that Russian electronic warfare capacity has sufficient breadth to cover the front, but not depth to protect the Russian interior. Much like Russia's vaunted T-14 Armata, the Su-57 has been conspicuous by its absence from the Ukraine war. AdvertisementEven with American-made F-16 fighters arriving soon, Ukraine's air force probably can't drive off Russian jets lobbing glide bombs from 50 miles behind Russian lines, safe behind ground-based air defenses.

From Dana Point, California, to Long Island, New York and Nantucket, Massachusetts, some of the nation's priciest coastal real estate is in an increasingly precarious position due to climate change. Various risk models have shown myriad projections for falling real estate values, but the effects of climate change are already hitting the market — and at a faster pace than most expected.

I´m in my 30s, but I joke that I´ve been a grandma since birth. I'm an only child, and my grandmother raised me while my parents were out of the picture. My grandmother's house was on a peninsula, a seven-mile stretch of the Atlantic on the south shore of Massachusetts. I'd never been able to see my grandmother from the water and dreaded seeing her become a blurry speck on shore. I also don't trust myself to teach someone about the world when I´ve barely figured it out myself.

"But at places like sit-down restaurants, hair salons, barber shops or getting food delivered, tipping is customary." Just 67% of adults in Bankrate's survey say they always tip at restaurants. "So if you're not tipping in those scenarios, you're really taking money out of the server's pocket." When it comes to those who cut your hair and deliver your food, you should just about always tip, etiquette experts say. In other words, if you asked for a service and out-and-out didn't receive it, you're OK reducing or withholding a tip, etiquette pros say.

Traders work at the post where GameStop is traded on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., June 12, 2024. GameStop's annual shareholder meeting was disrupted by computer problems Thursday, as servers crashed under overwhelming interest in the stream, a customer service representative for the company hosting the stream told CNBC. According to a YouTube stream from an unaffiliated user purporting to reproduce the feed, the annual meeting was brought to order at 11:48 a.m. The rep said Computer Share's servers appeared to be unable to handle the amount of traffic the meeting had received and weren't accustomed to the volume of accounts. They added that Computer Share's tech team was working to solve the issue and advised interested parties to attempt to log in "every 5 to 10 minutes."

It was a great experience, and it made sense that my parents wanted us to work at the shop. If we made a mistake at work or got frustrated with a coworker, we could leave it at the door.

Julia DiPreteI'll be honest — I was slightly underwhelmed when our taxi first pulled up to the hotel. The property was huge, but I thought the exterior looked more like a 1970s apartment block than a five-star hotel. The vast space felt like a cross between Scandinavian minimalism and the Palace of Versailles in the best possible way. Modern lines met gold details everywhere, and it worked. Our room wasn't quite ready, but I learned our stay had additional perks because I booked through the AmEx Travel Fine Hotels and Resorts program.

However, Elliott Investment Management said Monday that the airline's decades-old strategies weren't working in modern times, and it's calling for a management and board-of-directors overhaul as part of a plan it's calling "Stronger Southwest." This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Elliott said Southwest leadership had a "rigid commitment" to the model it dreamed up decades ago, blaming that for today's shortcomings. Elliott Management, which oversees $66 billion in assets, is one of the world's most feared activist hedge funds. "The significant investment we have made reflects our conviction that, with the right leadership, Southwest can regain its status as an industry-leading airline."
