Wall Street’s superstars are tumbling as a competitor from China threatens to upend the artificial-intelligence frenzy that has created a spending bonanza. The S&P 500 was down 1.7 percent in midday trading on Monday and heading for its worst day in more than a month.

After six years playing at the top of the Premier League, Miguel Almiron is coming home. The Paraguayan winger is reportedly set to rejoin Atlanta United — the Major League Soccer club that kickstarted his career — on a multi-year deal for around $12M. Almiron is something of an Atlanta legend. He arrived at the club in 2016 as a 21-year-old with plenty of promise but very little experience. He turned into a world-class winger under the guidance of coach Tata Martino, winning the MLS Newcomer award in 2017 and lifting the MLS Cup with Atlanta in 2018. European scouts…
To the Editor:Re “Pete Hegseth Is Sworn In as Defense Secretary After Being Confirmed by Slim Margin” (nytimes.com, Jan. 25):To those Senate Republicans who voted to confirm Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense (and Vice President JD Vance, who broke a 50-50 tie): Unfortunately, you are far from the first members of the U.S. Senate to disgrace themselves through cowardice. But you have done so in historic terms.By confirming such a wildly unfit nominee and ignorant hatchet man as Mr. Hegseth, you, who trumpet belief in America’s greatness, have actually just severely weakened the United States and greatly endangered your…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Turning innovation into patents? It can be an uphill battle. I understand the stakes. The process isn’t just about one idea — it’s about managing a pipeline of ideas coming from your engineering team, R&D department or even external collaborators.The hurdles are real. Some ideas might not meet the threshold for novelty. Others could face tough patent examiners, leading to costly rejections. This leaves you facing critical decisions: “Should we push forward or shift resources elsewhere?” Entrepreneurs face tough decisions all the time, so measuring the risks is crucial.I’ve seen companies pour…
Tourists try to cool off in Rome, where a large increase in heat deaths is expected by 2099Massimo Valicchia/NurPhoto via Getty Images There will be an extra 2.3 million temperature-related deaths in Europe’s main cities by 2099 without more action to limit warming and adapt to it, researchers predict. However, in cities in colder northern countries such as the UK, there will be fewer temperature-related deaths over this period, because the decline in deaths from cold will be greater than the increase in deaths from heat. “We estimate a slight net decrease, but it’s very small compared to the big…

Donald Trump’s policy of meeting directly with world leaders is admirable. The world has been on high alert over North Korea’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war, yet no one is willing to meet with leader Kim Jong-un. Trump made history during his first term when he crossed over the DMZ line into North Korea, ignoring security risks, and becoming the first US president to do so. Trump has stated he plans to meet with Kim Jong-Un again. “I will reach out to him again. Kim Jong-un is a smart man. He likes me, and I get along well with him,”…
