Yet Justin Best, an investment-banking analyst at San Francisco-based Union Square Advisors, has managed to defy the ordinary. Between photo ops, celebrations, and press gatherings, Best, 26, sat down with Business Insider to talk about how he juggled his job as a banker and his intense training schedule. Best started at Union Square Advisors a few months after he competed in Tokyo in 2021. Jordan Vanderstoep, a rower a few years older than Best who previously worked at Union Square, also helped Best get the job. "So having places that support Olympic dreams truly makes it possible, and I'm happy to say Union Square is one of those."

It was the 18th no-hitter in Giants history, and the 13th time Cincinnati has been no-hit. Last August, the Reds’ Spencer Steer broke up Alex Cobb’s no-hit bid with two outs in the ninth inning.

Chevron, the second-largest U.S. oil company, is moving its headquarters to Houston, from California, formalizing a long-expected breakup with a state that has pushed aggressively to address climate change. The company’s ties to California date to the 1870s. Chevron said it already had roughly 7,000 employees in the Houston area and around 2,000 at its current headquarters in San Ramon, Calif., near San Francisco. The State of California sued Chevron and other large oil companies last year, claiming that they misled the public about the risks of fossil fuels, the extraction of use of which are a leading cause of climate change. Chevron’s chief executive, Mike Wirth, criticized the lawsuit last year, saying in a Bloomberg Television interview that litigation was not the right approach.

☆ Microsoft's cloud is 'no-brainer' for some AI startups, helping Azure gain ground on AWS

However, after EzDubs went through the Y Combinator startup program last year, the company made a quick pivot, adding Microsoft's cloud into the mix. That's because EzDubs' founders learned of a partnership that enabled Y Combinator companies to receive $350,000 worth of credits on Microsoft Azure. The current offer includes $350,000 in AWS credits, plus $300,000 reserved for tapping the custom silicon, the spokesperson said. A spokesperson later said 58% of Y Combinator startups had taken up Microsoft's credit offer, a figure that doesn't reflect actual Azure usage. "Leading AI startups use OpenAI to power their AI solutions, therefore, making them Azure customers as well."

☆ A millionaire early retiree earning $380,000 a year in passive income went back to work—but only lasted 4 months
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-02 | by ( Ryan Ermey | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Last year, after selling a chunk of his stock and bond portfolio to purchase a house in cash, Sam Dogen found himself with too little passive income to support his family's budget. It turned out, this particular gig didn't align with his personal or financial priorities at this point in his life. By last year, his passive income portfolio, which includes stocks, bonds and real estate investments, among others, was bringing in about $380,000 a year. "That shored up a huge hole in my passive income," Dogen says. That won't produce passive income unless Dogen reinvests it, but it gave him the cash cushion to paper over some short-term cracks in his finances.

New York CNN —Don Lemon on Thursday filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk and X after the erratic billionaire canceled a planned partnership that would have seen the former CNN anchor create a talk show on the embattled social media platform. Lemon alleged that Musk wanted to announce a partnership with him only to trade off his name to rehabilitate his social media company’s troubled image. “X executives used Don to prop up their advertising sales pitch, then canceled their partnership and dragged Don’s name through the mud. But the deal quickly collapsed after Musk grew angry at Lemon’s questioning during a sit-down interview in March taped at his Tesla headquarters in Texas. During the interview, Lemon pressed Musk about the rise of hate speech on X, in addition to his open use of the prescription drug ketamine.

CNN —JD Vance is making a second pass at introducing himself to America as the Ohio senator attempts to put his uneven rollout as Donald Trump’s running mate in the rearview mirror. Vance is also expected to begin holding news conferences with reporters as early as this week, the source said. At a closed-door fundraiser in Oklahoma City last week, Trump’s finance team was hoping the former president’s new running mate would raise $1 million. The campaign was well aware of Vance’s past criticisms of Trump and the deeply anti-abortion views he vocally defended. Still, people close to both Trump and Vance argue that America has yet to learn how effective the Ohio senator can be when in the spotlight.

Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb sued the online ticket exchange platform StubHub on Wednesday, alleging deceptive and unfair pricing. The lawsuit claims StubHub uses deceptive advertising of low ticket prices to lure consumers who pay vastly more after an arduous checkout process. "This is no accident — StubHub intentionally hides the true price to boost profits at its customers' expense," Schwalb said in a statement. In its lawsuit, the attorney general's office said that from 2014 to 2015, StubHub used "all-in pricing," in which the advertised price included mandatory fees. The complaint alleged that StubHub did a testing period where it randomly assigned consumers to one of the two models.
