The bond market is setting a multitude of records right now. Over $13 trillion in bonds have negative yields, US Treasury bonds have hit record lows, and US corporate bonds have sunk to lows not seen since Marilyn Monroe was starring in films.

Francesco Garzarelli, cohead of Goldman Sachs' market and macroeconomic research teams, put the issue very simply: The market is pricey.

During the 2012 American presidential election, 129 million people cast ballots, while 106 million eligible voters neglected to do so. That’s only a 54.9 percent conversion rate, not to mention the 51 million voters who weren’t registered. Meanwhile, in 2015, there were almost 172 million Americans making purchases online. Those are apples and oranges, admittedly, but the ease with which the shopping occurs only helps its proliferation.

If the ultimate goal is maximizing the country’s voting turnout... Читать дальше...

Donald Trump said Monday that the reason he hasn't spent more time railing on Hillary Clinton over her email controversy at rallies is because his audience doesn't "want to hear about it."

"I am talking to a crowd of people who have standing in line for seven or eight hours," Trump told The Washington Post. "They don’t want to hear about it. I covered every point. The way it’s reported is unfair in that if you read those stories, it’s like I didn’t even... Читать дальше...

Choosing a college means choosing a home away from home. For some people, constant trips to the dining hall and living off a meal plan is plenty but for others, grabbing a bite to eat off-campus gives them a chance to try new foods and get to know a new neighborhood. 

Niche, a company that researches school information, compiled data from students enrolled at four-year colleges and universities to find out which schools in the US have the best off-campus dining. Читать дальше...

Dude, look around. Everyone in the room can totally tell you're high right now. And they're judging you for it. Don't hold your hands in your lap like that, you look bonkers. Quick, do something normal! Put them on your head. Both hands, on your head. Ahhhhh. Much better.

Weed, in case you haven't heard, often makes users super paranoid. The cliche of the freaked-out stoner makes a kind of intuitive sense. Marijuana is a widely banned substance with a strong smell and other tell-tale signs. Читать дальше...

On Monday, Tim Duncan decided to retire from the NBA after 19 years.

At 40 years old, Duncan was the last player remaining from the 1997 draft class, and easily the best, as he'll go down as one of the best big men to play the game.

But what happened to the rest of the 1997 class? 

It was a solid draft that produced several All-Stars, a few renowned role players, and, of course, a few busts.

Check out where they are today.

The Spurs took Tim Duncan with the No. Читать дальше...

Asos is in hot water with its shoppers.

The website had originally posted a photo of model Naomi Shimada — but it called her a "plus size model and travel film-maker," as Fashionista notes.

But if you go to Asos's Instagram page now, it no longer says that Shimada a "plus size model" — rather, she's just a "model and travel film-maker." 

That's because people were furious that the company felt the need to point out her size — let alone call her plus size at all. Читать дальше...

The Pokémon Go phenomenon continues to fulfill every child's question: what if Pokémon existed in real life?

The app recently passed Tinder in monthly active users, an amazing feat, given that the game has only been live for about a week now. 

Writer and Twitter user Jonathan Perez recently caught a scene that is an incredible real-life demonstration of the game's popularity.

In a short video, dozens of people could be seen congregating around one tiny spot in New York's Central Park... Читать дальше...

So, here's the thing. While Netflix may be one of the greatest time-killers known to humankind - and possess a near superhuman ability to keep you watching just one more episode of “Fuller House”, a full two hours after you meant to go to bed - it's also inherently limited in its scope. With licensing deals being what they are (incredibly tough to negotiate and often extraordinarily complicated), even Netflix's thousands-strong back catalog is a drop in the ocean compared to the number of films...

Internet advertising in the country will now be subject to increased regulations including checks against misleading and malicious ads, which will take effect September 1, 2016.

This could impact some of the largest internet companies in the county.

Chinese internet giants Baidu and Alibaba both rely heavily on advertising revenue. Читать дальше...

We haven't seen a tech phenomenon like "Pokémon GO" in a long time. Released last Wednesday, the smartphone game from Niantic and Nintendo almost immediately topped the app charts, sent Nintendo's stock skyrocketing, and sent armies of gamers into the streets, parks, and graveyards to hunt mythical Pokémon creatures.

There are thousands of weird or awkward questions a hiring manager could ask you during a job interview. But one you might actually want to prepare for is: "Have you ever stolen a pen from work?"

According to James Reed, author of "Why You?: 101 Interview Questions You'll Never Fear Again," and chairman of Reed, a top job site in the UK and Europe, hiring managers do sometimes ask this one.

The thing is, we've all taken a pen or two ... so if you say you haven't, they might think you're a liar. Читать дальше...

After months of reports that Yahoo's in talks for a potential sale of its core internet business, SunTrust's analyst Bob Peck says there's a chance a deal won't even happen at all.

In a note published Monday, Peck wrote it's still possible that Yahoo could walk away from a deal if it doesn't find an attractive offer for its internet business, which the company was once reported to have valued at $10 billion. 

Peck wrote $10 billion would be a "stretch" for Yahoo's core business at this point. Читать дальше...
