...softening of the cap. The wealthier teams can still secure the frontline players by simply promising more money at a future date. Take a glance at the NBA. You can count the number of teams who are actually under the cap on one hand. Even the pitiful Celtics exceed it by a good $15 million...
Diversification, a concept that fell out of favor in the tech boom, will be critical in 2001. If you've still got more than 20% of your money in tech stocks, consider selling the ones with no earnings or with price-earnings ratios that far exceed their projected growth for this year. Those are ultrasensitive to even minor adjustments in what investors believe the companies will earn in future years. That was dandy in the bubble, when expectations were running high. Now we're seeing the downside of extreme volatility, and it isn't pretty...
...neighborhood--but important. Watching Charles and Diana's wedding on TV, she asked her mother why no one ever rolled out red carpets for her. So naturally, before her first Olympics, she knew she'd win five track-and-field gold medals. Even a phenomenon's reach must exceed her sprint: Jones won three golds and two bronzes. Unfortunately, that was not the only weight she would have to wear around her neck in Sydney. After she won her first gold, devastating the field in the women's 100 m, came news that her husband, shot putter C. J. Hunter...
Robots--even ones more intelligent than M.I.T.'s Kismet--are coming, the inevitable result of accelerating technological revolutions. The exponential growth of computing, communications, brain scanning and brain "reverse engineering," combined with rapid miniaturization, will bring machines that can equal or exceed human intelligence within three decades...
Within three decades, machines will be as intelligent as humans. By 2030 the available computer hardware will exceed the memory and processing capacity of the human brain by a factor of thousands. Though raw capacity alone does not automatically provide human levels of intelligence, we will have largely completed the reverse engineering of the human brain. Powerful, biologically inspired models based on the various templates of human intelligence will be capable of simulating human thought processes and will ultimately do so at far greater speeds and with far greater overall capacity than unaided human thought...
