The meme that Elon cut 75% of Twitter and the service works just fine is a bit off. Many of those cuts were in the sales org and revenue is down 40%. That's not working fine.

Very dumb that the tax code now penalizes R&D investment (by no longer allowing full expensing)
At the same time, the government is spending billions to subsidize R&D-heavy industries like semiconductors… 🤦

Amazing company. “One benefit of the device, the company believes, is that it could spur customers to visit Apple retail stores — not necessarily to buy the product, but to try it out. They may then purchase another device, such as an iPad or AirPods.”

538 is genuinely excellent at forecasting and is an absolutely invaluable resource for polling and other election information. Would be a huge loss if they went under

The FBI putting a Russian mole in charge of counterintelligence seems like a mistake. Just my opinion but I would’ve not done that.
