The pressure continues to mount on Wilfried Nancy after Celtic’s collapse and Rangers’ come-from-behind Old Firm victory to level them with their rivals in the Scottish Premiership.The new manager had begged for time to make his mark ahead of the contest after losing five of his first seven games in charge, and an impressive first half suggested his wish might come true. Yang Hyun-jun took the lead with a stunning strike, but Rangers were unable to extend their advantage as they were unable to equalize just before half-time due to Mikey Moore being offside.

The US has previously captured foreign leaders, including Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Panama’s Manuel Noriega, but after…
As billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk prepares to take SpaceX public, investors are waiting for their chance to take part in what is expected to be the largest IPO in history. Musk said late last month that reports about space technology companies planning to go public this year were “accurate.” Multiple news outlets have reported that preparations are underway for an IPO following a stock sale that values the company at about $800 billion. SpaceX reportedly expects it to be worth about $1.5 trillion when it hits the public market. This would surpass the previous record set by Saudi Aramco’s IPO…
SAN FRANCISCO — Inside Anthropic headquarters, president and co-founder Daniela Amodei repeats over and over again a phrase that has become a kind of governing principle for the artificial intelligence startup’s entire strategy: “Do more with less.”This is a direct challenge to the prevailing atmosphere throughout Silicon Valley, where the largest research institutions and their supporters treat size as destiny.

The…

One Saturday morning in October, Park Ji-hyun woke up at 5:30 a.m. and went on a rampage in Seoul. And much of her prep routine was counterintuitive. Instead of wearing a miniskirt, the 29-year-old wore running tights. Instead of wearing unstable heels, she wore running shoes. And instead of calling a taxi to the party, she ran from her apartment to the venue in Yongsan District, arriving after an hour and five-mile jog, ready to hit the dance floor. “You meet random people for the first time, but then you start dancing together and it gets crazier and crazier as…
