SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — On a recent afternoon in San Francisco, a DoorDash driver was circling the neighborhood — first in his car, then on foot — trying to find the restaurant where he needed to pick up two orders. Finally, he Googled the location and realized DoorDash’s app sent him to the wrong address.It’s an error he vowed to fix, and he probably will.

Starbucks’ new CEO, Laxman Narasimhan, is a trained barista and puts in a half-day of work at a store each month. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and Lyft CEO David Rish...

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:27:39 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Kai Havertz completed a move across London on Wednesday by joining Arsenal from Chelsea in a deal reportedly worth 65 million pounds ($82 million). Arsenal said the Germany international had joined on a “long-term contract.” The 24-year-old forward becomes Mikel Arteta’s first signing of the summer after Arsenal finished runner-up in the Premier League last season. “You have probably already seen it.. But now ‘officially’ I’m a Gunner,” Havertz tweeted, adding a heart emoji.Havertz will forever be a Chelsea icon after scoring the winning goal in the 2021 Champions League final and last year’s Club World Cup triumph. But he ultimately failed to live up to expectations at the club that he could become one of Europe’s top players, leading to his departure after three years at Stamford Bridge. Arteta is aiming to strengthen this summer after suffering the pain of last season’s title collapse. Arsenal led the table for much of the campai...

Trump evalúa no participar en el primer debate de precandidatos republicanos

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:27:39 GMT

CONCORD — Nadie puede obligar a Donald Trump a debatir, excepto, tal vez, Donald Trump. El Comité Nacional Republicano no puede hacerlo. Fox News tampoco, ni el conjunto de sus asesores que piensan que debería enfrentarse a sus rivales republicanos en un escenario en Milwaukee en agosto.Además, ninguno de esos rivales está lo suficientemente cerca de Trump en las encuestas como para hacerle sentir que es necesario. Podría decirse que, como cualquier favorito, tiene más que perder que ganar en un debate.“Él no va a debatir a menos que se vea obligado a hacerlo cambiando las encuestas”, dijo una persona que animó a Trump a participar. “No estoy de acuerdo con eso, pero es donde está”.Todo eso ayuda a explicar por qué, en entrevistas con más de media docena de asesores, quedó claro que, incluso en sus conversaciones privadas, Trump se inclina en gran medida por saltarse ese primer debate. Trump también está explorando opciones para tener aparición pública durante el primer ...

Judge considering blocking parts of North Carolina abortion law won’t halt broader 12-week ban

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:27:39 GMT

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — A federal judge said Wednesday that she won’t temporarily block most of a newly revised abortion law from taking effect this weekend in North Carolina, including a near-ban on the procedure after 12 weeks of pregnancy. U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles said at a court hearing that she won’t grant the request by lawyers for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and a physician to set aside most of the new restrictions before they are to come into force on Saturday, calling it overbroad.The 12-week ban, which was approved in the spring by North Carolina’s Republican-controlled General Assembly and includes new exceptions for rape, incest and “life-limiting” fetal anomalies, would replace the current ban on most abortions after 20 weeks. The abortion providers claim in litigation that several specific provisions affecting doctors and patients in the new law approved by the General Assembly are so contradictory, vague and unconstitutional that al...
