Where Money, Investing, and Technology Meet
What caught my eye this week. Remember last summer when I pondered whether an army of everyday investors – led by a legion of cash-rich city boys – had gobbled up so much of the low-coupon Treasury 2061 gilt that it was distorting the yield curve? Readers steeped in the UK government bond market opined […]
The Promise Was Real Years ago, when AWS announced App Mesh at re:Invent, I tested it out with a few microservices to see the interconnections between them. The benefits were genuinely impressive: What service mesh solves: Instant visibility: See traffic flow between all services in real-time Performance insights: Identify bottlenecks across 50-200 microservices at a […]

The Trump administration suffered a series of legal setbacks this week after judges allowed work to restart on several offshore wind farms under construction on the East Coast. The Department of the Interior had ordered a stop to five projects totaling 6 gigawatts of generating capacity in December, citing national security concerns. The judicial orders […]
