Where Money, Investing, and Technology Meet
A reader asks: I have something of an existential question for you. I’m fast approaching retirement age with a not-to-brag level of wealth. Most experts (including my advisor) would say it’s enough money for financial independence. That means my wife and I don’t need to work anymore. We can do what we want when we […]
“Our findings suggest that the continuation of the status quo, the basic expectation of most economists, is actually the least likely outcome,” Davis says. “We project that AI will have an even greater effect on productivity than the personal computer did. And we project that a scenario where AI transforms the economy is far more […]
European leaders facing a Greenland-linked dispute with Washington could treat U.S. Treasurys as a leverage point. That would test not just the headline size of foreign holdings, but the market’s capacity to absorb speed, and how quickly higher yields would filter into the dollar, U.S. credit conditions, and crypto liquidity. The Financial Times has framed […]
Models: The underlying AI systems that interpret prompts, generate responses, and make predictions Tools: The integration layer that connects AI to enterprise systems, such as APIs, protocols, and connectors Context: Before making decisions, information agents need to understand the full business picture, including customer histories, product catalogs, and supply chain networks Governance: The policies, controls, […]
Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales has been called the last decent tech baron. It’s sounds like a flattering label, although one I usually associate more with yacht-dwelling meatheads who feed their herds of cattle homegrown macadamia nuts; the kind of person who can most recently be found wining and dining with the President of the United States […]
Ahmed, Melford, Breton, and their respective organizations also made their own statements denouncing the entry bans. Ahmed, the only one of the five based in the United States, also successfully filed suit to preempt any attempts to detain him, which the State Department had indicated it would consider doing. But alongside the statements of solidarity, […]
There’s a huge variety of proposals when it comes to what’s next for nuclear. Some companies are building smaller reactors, which they say could make it easier to finance new projects, and get them done on time. Other companies are focusing on tweaking key technical bits of reactors, using alternative fuels or coolants that help […]
Setapp Mobile was a bold, breakthrough project that aimed to provide EU iOS users with access to alternative app marketplaces – creating a new app ecosystem where both developers and users could thrive. We are proud of what we have accomplished with it over the past two years and still believe passionately in this vision. […]
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 […]
A reader asks: Why is capping credit card rates a bad idea? What are other ways we could make rates less insane? President Trump threw out an idea recently to cap credit card rates at 10%. At face value, this sounds like a good idea. Credit card rates for most borrowers are in the 20-30% […]
