I wanted to buy something today—until I figured out the cost versus the benefit. At that point I knew it was a completely stupid idea.
What I wanted to buy was an older car to have in addition to my four-year-old Smart Car that I absolutely like. So you wonder, why would I want to have another car as well? The reason is—grandkids. I have several and in the Smart Car I can only have one

So that's why I had the stupid idea to buy the old car I found on the lot of an honest used car salesman. Thank heavens I came to my senses before I spent $8,000 to buy it, $80 or so to license it and probably $500 to insure it for a year.

It would be senseless to buy that car. My grandkids just have to continue to come with me one by one. I can't take two girls out to lunch or two girls shopping or pick up the brother and sister that live in the same house. As for the little one that's not allowed to ride with me...well, Grandpa will have to pick her up. As for me, I didn't get money in my savings account by being totally stupid. Sure, doing things with the kids is fun, but spending that kind of money to put two or more of them in a group—which would probably drive me crazy anyway—is really dumb. Sometimes temptation can prove that you still have a little sense.

It's Paris Fashion Week and the streets of the city are filled with designers, models and journalists. Among the crowds, eagle-eyed experts are taking careful notes. Their job is to detect emerging trends. Their notes will instantly be added to selected “trend forecasts”, which will be sold to designers, who will use them to inspire new pieces. Traditionally, these fashion forecasters have relied only on such methods to make predictions.

But designers often feel insecure about relying just on the data provided by AI. “A few years ago, there were big indicators on social media of yellow being a trend,” says Francesca Muston, vice president of a trend forecasting company.

“And if you had followed completely the social media data gathered by AI models, yellow pieces would seem to be a good investment. But how many people are really going to wear a bright yellow coat? That's a brave fashion choice.” AI tools don't have their own aesthetic (审美的) viewpoint so they may not be able to satisfy people's desire for newness. “That's why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts,” says Muston.

The sharp fin (鳍). The rows upon rows of sharp teeth. The large black eyes. The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery's “Shark Week” are not the friendliest looking creatures.

One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. Actually when sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey (猎物), seals or dolphins. They don't seek out humans on purpose. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark.

Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and
