Jürgen Klopp was in his third week as Liverpool’s manager, in November 2015, when the team’s director of research, Ian Graham, arrived at his office carrying computer printouts. Graham wanted to show Klopp, whom he hadn’t yet met, what his work could do. Then he hoped to persuade Klopp to actually use it. Graham spread out his papers on the table in front of him.

YouTube has become a dominant force in the music industry in the last few years, particularly among younger people. With the help of YouTube’s geocoded streaming data, we set out to map the contours of music fandom and culture in the United States. Of the artists on the Billboard Top 100 this spring, we looked at the 50 that were most watched on YouTube in the United States between January 2016 an
When we lived in Japan, my husband took me on a date to a cemetery.

Larry Page taking questions at the google conference in San Francisco, May 2013.Credit...Jim Wilson/The New York Times I started as The New York Times’s Google beat reporter in August 2014. Shortly thereafter, I told the company’s public relations people that at some point I would love to interview Larry Page, the company’s co-founder. I’ve been waiting ever since.

After 60 years of crushing, fighting and roaring, Godzilla shows no signs of stopping. The oversize lizard that has attracted generations of fans returns Friday in a film that harks back to the creature’s roots.
