The coffee giant's statement was in response to a Bloomberg report that Starbucks is considering selling a stake in its China operations. According to Bloomberg, such options could spur investment from Chinese companies or private equity firms to help Starbucks navigate the domestic coffee market. "There's a reason why Starbucks stock hasn't gone down from when Niccol was picked," Jim argued, touting Niccol's successful six-years-plus leading Chipotle . Niccol started as Starbucks CEO in September, replacing Laxman Narasimhan who was ousted after just 17 months on the job.

AdvertisementA small town in Italy is offering homes for 1 euro to attract Americans amid the recent election cycle. Ollolai's initiative is part of Italy's broader "Case a 1 euro" program started in the 2010s. There is also an option for digital nomads to work there for a month for only 1 euro. Ollolai started offering 1-euro homes in 2018, but other towns, like Sicilian commune Gangi, started giving away vacant houses in 2015. But if you don't want to commit fully to moving across the ocean, a redirect from the Ollolai website luring potential buyers offers an option for digital nomads.

The US government's lawyers said Google should be banned from offering "anything of value for any form" of search distribution. For instance, if most people click on the third result for a particular query, Google's search engine will likely adjust and rank that result higher in the future. They know that the search business is mainly about distribution, and Google may not be able to do this now. "We believe Google's default search placements via contractual agreements represent 50%+ of Google's US search queries," he estimated on Thursday. If half of Google's search queries go away, that could threaten the self-reinforcing cycle of user click data improving its results.

AdvertisementNvidia's revenue surged 94% year-over-year last quarter, driven by solid demand for its GPU chips. The historic growth is expected to continue, with analysts estimating more than $200 billion in revenue next year. The company reported revenue of $35.08 billion in the quarter, representing a 94% year-over-year surge and a 492% increase from its third quarter in fiscal year 2023. The massive breakout in Nvidia's revenue growth occurred shortly after OpenAi introduced ChatGPT in November 2022, which was during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2023. If Nvidia can meet Wall Street's lofty growth expectations going forward, its stock price could extend its historic run.

The hundreds of TGI Fridays franchises across 41 countries are independently owned entities and, therefore, not part of the bankruptcy process. AdvertisementIf you're a TGI Fridays lover, that means you can still go to the one nearby if you want. Like companies in a similar situation, the story of TGI Fridays is one of slow decline before an accelerated crash. In addition to grappling with changing tastes, TGI Fridays has also been subject to another trend in the restaurant business: private equity financial maneuvering. It can always be Friday anywhere, not just TGI Fridays, and maybe at a better price point or nicer experience.

They also oversee military prisons and detention centers that house uniformed criminals, like the US Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Business Insider spent four days at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri to see how 31 Bravos and 31 Echos spend 10 weeks training to become military police and detention specialists. A reported 3,000 soldiers working as cavalry scouts and military police would need to move to new positions. We look into how that could affect the 1,306 military police soldiers training at Fort Leonard Wood and what that could mean for the safety of Army bases around the globe.
