Angie Nixon’s ignorance on Cuba shows she isn’t ready for the Senate 

Mike Waltz needs to school Angie Nixon about Cuba.   Nixon, a Democrat aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America who is running to become a U.S. senator from Florida, recently showed extreme and perhaps willful ignorance about the communist country perched just 90 miles off her state’s coast.  When CBS News reporter Cristian Benavides asked…

Moreno tries to deal with uncertainty in Korean football

Robert Moreno has had quite an introduction to Korean football. When interviewing for the national team job in the summer after the disaster of the World Cup, he apparently impressed Korea FA officials with his knowledge of the subject. Nothing, however, can prepare you for reality. The 49-year-old former coach of Spain was given the job until the end of November, a period that includes six games. Four have been played already, and results were mixed. There was a 3-0 win over Ecuador, a 4-1 loss to Uruguay, a goalless draw with Venezuela and then, on Oct. 6, a 2-0 victory against Uzbekistan. Performances were, however, encouraging in the sense that tactically, there were some positive signs, and a sense that after the perceived passiveness of Hong Myung-bo at the World Cup, he was a coach who looked to make things happen during games. Now, there are two left. On Nov. 13, the Taeguk Warriors will take on Saudi Arabia and then, four days later, will face Qatar. Both games will take place in Qatar as there are security concerns around Saudi Arabia at the moment, with the country coming und

Poverty in the age of plenty: The paradox of AI

We are approaching a world in which intelligence is abundant, information is virtually free and machines can do in seconds what once took humans months. But strangely, the more technologically advanced we become, the less we perceive what truly matters. We have more ways to communicate but feel more disconnected. We have more access to knowledge but less confidence. There is more convenience but less patience. This paradox is not new. Economist John M. Keynes in his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren” predicted that technological progress could eventually allow people to work as little as 15 hours a week. Nearly a century later, we all have smart devices in our pockets with algorithms anticipating our preferences and artificial intelligence (AI) assistants capable of quickly producing reports, presentations and even computer code. However, more leisure time failed to materialize. Many of us are still working long hours and not enjoying life that much. We are drowning in constant notifications, meetings and messages, confronting endless expectations to do more.
