Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank has one piece of advice for young entrepreneurs: Go make the sale.

For many young companies, especially in Silicon Valley, being unprofitable is considered a right of passage. Companies can burn through cash as they build a great product, and making money comes only after testing for a good fit. Twitter, one of the best examples, has been public for more than two years and has never been profitable.

Bond manager Bill Gross will be able to pursue his lawsuit to recoup at least $200 million he claims that Pacific Investment Management Co owes him in the wake of his 2014 ouster from the firm he co-founded.

California Superior Court Judge Martha Gooding ruled late Sunday that Gross' breach-of-contract lawsuit was strong enough to proceed.

The Santa Ana-based judge said Gross "alleges sufficient facts based on allegations concerning his status as the founder... Читать дальше...

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced March 14 that Russia had sufficiently achieved its goals in Syria since beginning airstrikes in September, and that it will gradually withdraw the bulk of its forces from the country, starting March 15.

According to Putin, the process could take as long as five months. However, Russia's air base in Latakia will continue to operate, as will its naval facility in Tartus.

Russia's involvement in Syria has been guided by a number of key priorities. Читать дальше...

Trying to pick individual stocks is difficult. Most investors struggle in large part because they lack the kind of information and tools that are available to professionals. In addition, an increasing part of the market is made up of computer programs that trade stocks based on mathematical relationships and metrics that have been shown to be reliably correlated with future outperformance in earnings and stock prices.

Building on my last article about picking stocks based on quantitative metrics... Читать дальше...

After seeing Google's artificial intelligence system "AlphaGo" beat one of the best Go players alive last week, I decided to try the popular game myself.

I know how to play the game, but I'm still a beginner. The last time I played Go was almost 15 years ago, so I didn't have any luck beating any of the online gaming systems I played against.

But playing Go a few times made me realize why Google may be so obsessed with it — and it probably has nothing to do with the game itself. Читать дальше...

"Batman v Superman" will debut a lot of DC characters to the big screen. Not only will we see Ben Affleck as a new, older Batman, we'll also get the first on-screen appearances of Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and maybe even more superheroes.

But there's at least one role that's been kept well hidden, until now.

One of the biggest mysteries of "Batman v Superman" has been Jena Malone's role. You may remember her as the fiery, outspoken Johanna Mason from "The... Читать дальше...

The men's basketball coach at the University of California, Berkeley, said Monday that he is moving to fire an assistant coach who violated the school's sexual harassment policy.

It comes as the university has faced criticism for its handling of substantiated sexual harassment allegations involving an astronomy professor and the dean of its law school.

A little-known lab in Menlo Park, California is responsible for many of the most exciting technologies we've seen over the last half-century.

Initially founded in 1946 by Stanford University as The Stanford Research Institute, it's now separate from the university and goes by SRI International.

But it's always been a non-profit dedicated to research and development.

With 4,000 patents to its credit, SRI is fairly well-known in Silicon Valley, but most... Читать дальше...

We often hear about the best colleges in the US, but there are dozens more outstanding schools that don't always get the recognition they deserve.

To discover the most underrated colleges in America, we compared US News and World Report's rankings of the best universities and the best liberal-arts colleges in the country with PayScale's 2015-16 College Salary Report, which ranked more than 1,000 colleges and universities based on their graduates' mid-career salaries.

Financial voyeurs of the world, rejoice! I dug out all our old tax returns, pay stubs, and my net worth spreadsheet to pull together the story of our ten year journey from nearly zero net worth to millionaire status (and early retirement).

This post answers a lot of questions like: How much did we earn? Did we have six figure incomes all of our careers? Did we work for a start up and make a million when our employer went IPO? Did we get lucky picking stocks? Читать дальше...

No one wants to be that guy — the one who applies for a job at a high-profile company and then pesters the hiring manager every day to see if their resume has been reviewed yet.

But it's so hard to sit with the anxiety and the frustration that comes with not hearing back, especially when you know you'd be an awesome fit for the role.

Fortunately, there's a better strategy for getting yourself noticed and upping your chances of landing the job. It takes equal parts gumption and effort... Читать дальше...

After Marvel's explosive reveal of Spider-Man in the second "Captain America: Civil War" trailer, the wait seems longer than ever. 

19-year-old actor Tom Holland will take on the role of the webslinger in "Civil War." We still don't have plot details on Peter Parker's role in the film, but we can discern a few hints about the third on-screen appearance of the legendary character from his costume.

His suit hasn't changed much from the webslinger's debut comic back in 1966... Читать дальше...

Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman.

For those unfamiliar with her name, the 30-year-old actress is best known for her roles in four "Fast and Furious" films.

But before she was in action films, she was Miss Israel and served two years in the Israeli army.

She's bringing the comic-book Amazonian princess to life alongside Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," out March 25.

She'll also star in the standalone "Wonder... Читать дальше...

Several countries, including Finland, the Netherlands, and most recently Canada, have all decided to experiment with the idea of giving people a regular monthly income regardless of working status.

On Monday, New Zealand's Labor Party leader, Andrew Little, announced that the country will consider implementing a version of the system, known formally as "basic income."

The party will discuss the feasibility of basic income at the Future of Work conference later this month. Читать дальше...

Since his first appearance in 1939, Batman has become a hugely important cultural icon.

Key to this longevity is the ability to evolve and change with the times and across media. From the campy Adam West television series to the dark realism of Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight" comic run, Batman has found his footing on TV and film and in comics, novels, and games.

This evolution is exemplified by the Batman symbol, the iconic bat featured prominently on his armor and on the covers of the comics. Читать дальше...

In February, I fainted, face-planted on a cement floor, and fractured my jaw in three places. My path to recovery included a gruesome surgery to realign my mouth and wire my jaw shut, à la Kanye West's "Through the Wire".

I can't smile or eat solid foods. It hurts to yawn. I cried the first time I went to lick an envelope and remembered my tongue was trapped behind bars.

In the days of rest after my operation, I rewatched the Netflix original series "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" with my mom. Читать дальше...

The armed forces of the US and South Korea began their annual military exercise known as Operation Foal Eagle. Over the weekend, soldiers from the two countries, joined by personnel from Australia and New Zealand, staged an assault on a beach on South Korea's southeastern coast. 

The exercise is scheduled to last through April 30. It was condemned by the North Korean military, which said the operation is perceived as a threat.
