Questions emerge about Titanic-bound sub’s regulation, as investigators hunt for reason it imploded

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 21:22:25 GMT

By PATRICK WHITTLE (Associated Press)Authorities hunted Friday for the reason a submersible carrying people to the wreck of the Titanic imploded deep in the North Atlantic, as questions emerged about how such expeditions are regulated and tributes poured in for the five aboard who were killed.The announcement that no one survived Thursday brought a tragic end to a five-day saga that included an urgent around-the-clock search for the vessel known as the Titan.The investigation into what happened was already underway and would continue in the area around Titanic where debris from the submersible was found, said Rear Adm. John Mauger, of the First Coast Guard District. “I know there are also a lot of questions about how, why and when did this happen. Those are questions we will collect as much information as we can about now,” Mauger said, adding that it was a “complex case” that happened in a remote part of the ocean and involved people from several different c...

Analysis: What the Jordan Poole, Chris Paul trade means for the Warriors

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 21:22:25 GMT

Mike Dunleavy Jr. made a splash in his first major move as the Warriors newest general manager.The Warriors are set to deal Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards for future Hall of Famer Chris Paul. As part of the trade, which can’t be made official until Poole’s extension kicks in July 6, the Wizards will also get second-year player Ryan Rollins, a protected 2030 first-round pick and 2027 second-round pick from Golden State.The Warriors did this as a commitment to the here and now, effectively throwing their long-touted two-timeline plan out the window. There’s a lot of layers to this jaw-dropping move that need to be examined:Why Chris Paul?Paul will transform from a storied Warriors adversary to a teammate both sides hope can help win them more titles before Curry retires – and Paul his first ring in his 18-year career.At first glance, the point guard swap seems risky. Poole turned 24 last week and signed a four-year extension after a breakout 2022 season in wh...

Every Bay Area county is aging faster than the U.S.

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 21:22:25 GMT

We’re really aging, Bay Area. And fast.The region grayed rapidly over the last decade, according to new Census data released Thursday, with the populations in all nine Bay Area counties outpacing the country in their upward median-age swing.Marin County, our undisputed grandparent, shot up to a median age of 48.2 — a full decade older than the region’s young in Santa Clara County. After COVID started, San Francisco’s median age — meaning half the population is older and half younger — shot up 2 years to 40.5 in just two years.Compare that to the United States’ median age, which climbed about 1.5 years from 2012 to 2022, according to the new Census Bureau data.It’s the latest evidence of the region’s aging population that has also shown up in recent census reports, including a 38% spike in the number of residents 65 and older over the last decade and a 12% drop in youth 5 and under.What’s behind the Bay Area trends? The explanations point primarily to one thin...

Clendaniel: Stop AI disinformation before 2024 election campaigns

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 21:22:25 GMT

As an editorial page editor, I encounter a wide range of issues capable of keeping me up at night.Climate change. Homelessness. The economy.But nothing causes me as much angst as the potential for misinformation and disinformation fueled by artificial intelligence to disrupt the 2024 election.We may not be doing enough to fight climate change, homelessness and the economic downturn, but at least local, state and federal lawmakers have passed legislation designed to make things better.I have little hope that anything will be done to combat the onslaught of fake news created by generative AI that is about to flood social media, where an ever-increasing number of Americans will get their news during the next election cycle.It will be a black mark on Silicon Valley, the epicenter of the technology industry. Who else to blame if political disinformation creates more distrust in our elections and further erodes our democracy? Artificial intelligence is clearly the next big thing in tech. ...

With a new tour and documentary, Carlos Santana says, ‘My guitar is my best lover, ever’

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 21:22:25 GMT

“Take no prisoners — peacefully,” Carlos Santana sometimes tells his bandmates before taking the stage.“I don’t like to coast. I don’t like to rope-a-dope,” Santana says. “I want to get in the middle of the ring and knock the sucker out. That way the referee can’t steal the fight from me.”Santana, 75, can still whip a crowd into a frenzy like few others. He’s been doing it since he stormed onto the San Francisco scene in the late ’60s. He left the Woodstock audience dazed and stunned before the first Santana record came out.The new documentary by Rudy Valdez, “Carlos,” which is premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival and will be released this fall in theaters by Sony Pictures Classics, chronicles the meteoric rise of one of the most singular guitar players in rock history. The critic Robert Christgau once wrote: “He is less a man of style than of sound, a clear, loud, fluent sound that cleanses with the same motion no matter how often that motion is repeated.”Santana, who launches t...
