Why Millennials Love Prenups

The New Yorker

Long the province of the ultra-wealthy, prenuptial agreements are being embraced by young people--including many who don't have all that much to divvy up. More than forty per cent of millennials and Gen Z-ers claim to have signed a prenup. Andrea Zevallos declared 2016 her "year of dating." She was twenty-seven, working at Universal Studios Hollywood, the theme park, and determined to find love. She calculated it would take three dates a week. By December, she was losing hope. "It was exhausting," she said. Then, while scrolling OkCupid, she noticed a "cute guy" with a "Hamilton" reference in his handle. His name was Alex Switzky, and like her he was a musical-theatre enthusiast and aspiring screenwriter. He was different from the other men she'd met. On their second date, he started planning a third. Zevallos "was used to L.A. guys cagey about any sort of calendar." One day, Switzky called her. Accustomed to texts, she assumed that he was about to break up with her. "The most millennial response," she recalled, laughing.


Why Former NFL All-Pros Are Turning to Psychedelics

WIRED

Research into whether drugs like ayahuasca can mitigate the effects of traumatic brain injury is in its infancy. Pro athletes like the Buffalo Bills' Jordan Poyer are forging ahead anyway. Roam the wide-open halls and cavernous showrooms of the Colorado Convention Center during Psychedelic Science, the world's largest psychedelics conference, and you'll see exhibitors hawking everything from mushroom jewelry, to chewable gummies containing extracts of the psychoactive succulent plant kanna, to broad flat-brim baseball caps emblazoned with "MDMA" and "IBOGA." Booths publicize organizations such as the Ketamine Taskforce and the Psychedelic Parenthood Community, and even, a live-action feature film looking to attract investors. It's a motley, multifarious symposium where indigenous-plant-medicine healers mingle with lanyard-clad pharma-bros, legendary underground LSD chemists, and workaday stoners tottering around in massive red and white toadstool hats that make them look like that cute little mushroom guy from . And yet, oddest among such oddities may be the sight of enormously burly NFL tough guys talking candidly about their feelings.


Steelers' courtship of Aaron Rodgers is more 'complex' than artificial intelligence, part-owner says

FOX News

Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy and James Jones discuss whether the Pittsburgh Steelers should draft a QB in the first round with Aaron Rodgers' NFL future unknown. The calendar has turned to May, and Aaron Rodgers is still a free agent. Rodgers has been linked to the Steelers for a couple of months, but Thomas Tull, a part-owner of the Steelers, said the courtship of Rodgers is more "complex" than artificial intelligence. "I'm here to talk about AI, and that's a more complex issue than artificial intelligence," Tull said when asked about Rodgers in an interview on CNBC's "Power Lunch." The team has three quarterbacks on its roster -- Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and sixth-round draft pick Will Howard.

Make a cow's first robotic experience a positive one

#artificialintelligence

A first lactation heifer's initial experience in a voluntary milking system or robot is so important to the cow and the farmer. Sometimes it gets a little difficult to actually get the cow to go into the robot for the first time, and we have to remember that it is okay. Don't get frustrated; let the experience take a little longer than you would like. They won't forget this one experience, so make it count. You are putting them through something that eventually you want them to want to do on their own. When I put a fresh heifer in the robot for the first time, I actually let her stand there for a minute or two while feed is dropping and she is trying to sniff every part of the robot.


California County Hopes Artificial Intelligence Can Mitigate Wildfire Risk

#artificialintelligence

At this time of year, periodic rain showers on the north coast of California give way to months of daily sunshine and a wildfire risk that grows in severity until the next fall rains arrive. In Sonoma County, a new set of eyes is watching over the forest. Those eyes will be able to tap into an artificial intelligence program to make sure emergency dispatchers are alerted to actual fires instead of mist rising off the forest floor or steam from the region's numerous natural geysers. The county has entered into a $300,000 contract with South Korea technology firm Alchera to provide artificial intelligence software that can alert fire dispatchers to the precise location of flames or smoke. The two-year pilot project is funded through $3 million in hazard mitigation grants that the Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded to the county.

Talking Points in Last Week's NFC Championship Game

#artificialintelligence

The NFC Championship last week saw the Buccaneers move forward to the Super Bowl, marking the 10th time Tom Brady has competed for a ring. The game was close and in the second half the Packers had more than a few chances to close the gap, but ultimately couldn't do enough to prevent going home. This article will discuss some of the statistical trends from analysis of the play-by-play data from the game. By the end of the first half, Brady had thrown for 197 yards and 2 touchdowns. When we break this down in terms of YAC and Air Yards, we see that Brady did most of the heavy lifting, especially in relation to Rodgers.


Robots Stole Blue Collar Jobs, Now AI Is Coming for White Collar Workers

#artificialintelligence

Robots might be taking over the blue-collar jobs of less-educated Americans, but artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to shake up college-educated employees in higher paying jobs, leaving no worker immune to the impact of technology on the American workforce. "[AI] will be used more extensively by the most high-paid and many of the best-educated workers," says Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute. "Automation has usually tended to affect lower-pay workers. AI is going to be highly prevalent in the middle class, white collar office. It was surprising to see how clearly that jumped out."
