The fact that female CEO appointments doubled from 2018 to 2019 sounds like progress. But still, at this rate, it will take more than 40 years to reach CEO gender parity in America. Last year, women replaced men in eight of those CEO roles. Men replaced women who were leaving CEO roles on three occasions. And most of the time — for 56 CEO roles — men replaced men.

Fluctuations in blood sugar can mess with your mood and energy level. If you haven’t eaten in a while, and your blood sugar levels are low, it can make you feel tired, shaky or anxious, according to the Mayo Clinic. A 2016 meta-analysis found that low blood sugar levels ” increase the tendency to make more intuitive rather than deliberate decisions.” A “fun size” 3 Musketeers bar, on the other hand, contains 30 grams of sugar and 34 grams of carbs. “The responsibility of holding the candy desk i

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be this rich, never,” Cuban, who is currently worth $4.1 billion, recently told the Ringer. The very first things he bought were an impromptu party trip to Las Vegas, an island vacation and a giant mansion (of course). (It was good timing for Cuban, who sold his shares when the stock price was on its way to an all-time high that valued the company at $125 billion. Less than a year later the dot-com bubble burst and sank Yahoo’s stock price to all-time

The U.S. Justice Department is planning to hold a conference to discuss the future of a current federal law which largely exempts online platforms from legal liability for the material their users post, sources familiar with the plans said on Friday.

The Trump administration is cracking down on the sale of counterfeits online from platforms like Amazon, according to a new report released Friday by the Department of Homeland Security.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the new coronavirus an “emergency in China” this week but stopped short of declaring it of international concern. The virus continues to spread globally, however: French authorities reported Europe’s first confirmed cases on Friday evening.

Speedrunners of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time have discovered a way to summon an Arwing — that’s right, the spacefighter from Star Fox 64 — without using mods or a cheat device. And the method that allows them to do this has also dramatically cut the world record time for Ocarina, one of the community’s most speed-run games. The two things — the Arwing and the speedrun record — aren’t necessarily related to each other. This means that the game can be forced to load and execute a save file

I’m always a bit reticent to cover flight simulation here on Polygon, but sometimes modern-day virtual fighter jocks make themselves impossible to ignore. While some folks might be more familiar with the flight simulator known as DCS Warthog A-10C, this free-to-play product is much more recent. It’s more of a platform, with multiple modules for sale that allow virtual pilots to tackle everything from WWII fighters and Korean War-era jets to the latest models in the U.S., Russian, and European in

In my 20 years of working as a luxury real estate broker, I’ve sold $6 billion in homes. To be sure, it involved a lot of hard work, but I especially credit my success to one secret: I’m brutally honest with my clients. If agents don’t tell their clients what mistakes they’re making, it can take much longer for a home to sell. Here are the five brutally honest things I’ve had to tell homeowners:1. Buyers weren’t interested, and I had to tell my client that the real value was closer to $9 million

Real-estate powerhouse Aaron Kirman believes in protecting his morning time. The star of CNBC’s “Listing Impossible” has a detailed and time-consuming routine that, even on the busiest days, he refuses to cut short. Kirman’s schedule changes so much that he rarely has a “typical day,” but the one constant he can count on is his triple soy cappuccino from Starbucks. His personal assistant hand delivers his coffee every morning between 7 and 7:30 a.m., which is when his day normally starts. Though

In a new series for Netflix, staffers for Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand Goop dove head-first into the increasingly popular practice of “wellness travel.” Instead, staffers flew eight hours to test out the healing properties of psychedelic mushrooms.

Viewers watch several staffers break down in tears at different points

Now, a new online tool may help you figure out exactly how much you need. It also shows how many households in those income and age groups are falling short and by how much. “The average family doesn’t have enough of a buffer,” said Fiona Greig, director of consumer research at the JPMorgan Chase Institute, which developed the tool. “Across the board, pretty much everyone has a gap between what they should have and what they do have.” And if those two things happen at the same time, a cash cushi

Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., wants Tesla to rebrand and add safeguards to its cars’ Autopilot feature. Markey said his two recommendations come after media reports that show Tesla drivers abusing the Autopilot system.
