☆ Big Tech's phony Trumpism

Before Andreessen and Horowitz formed their venture-capital firm in 2009, Andreessen was an incisive observer of Silicon Valley. Big Andreesen (meaning the current bloated billionaire model) also contradicts Little Andreessen (the earlier, leaner blogger) on the issue of regulation. The reason, he now claims, is that government used to leave Silicon Valley alone. He and his fellow Silicon Valley investor-class billionaires have been sliding rightward for years. It's that I didn't see that this is where Silicon Valley was always headed.

☆ Netanyahu’s visit to the US could be crucial to a ceasefire deal. But does he want one?
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-22 | by ( Jeremy Diamond | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

But as detailed ceasefire negotiations aimed at turning a framework agreement into a final deal stretch into their third week, Netanyahu’s visit will still be critical to the prospects of a ceasefire in Gaza. Senior US officials say a deal is within reach, but the prospects of a deal may hinge on the answer to one key question: Does Netanyahu actually want a deal? And the right-wing coalition partners keeping him in power have threatened to bolt if Netanyahu cuts a deal that ends the war. And publicly, his rhetoric has undermined confidence in Israel’s commitment to reaching a deal that could end the war. And Netanyahu’s allies insist he is earnest in his desire to strike a hostage release deal – just the right deal, one that could allow Israel to resume fighting in Gaza.

These were two of the visual cues for Bond Tower, a 50-story residential building and hotel that seems to trick the eye. Designed by Portuguese architecture firm OODA, the skyscraper will feature two connected structures that gently separate before rejoining one other, giving it a warped effect. Bond Tower was designed by the firm OODA, which has three more projects underway in the city. This month, OODA will break ground on a greenery filled residential tower called Hora Vertikale that was designed as a “vertical village,” according to the firm. On the avenue where Bond Tower will rise, Brito expects that OODA’s design will soon be joined by other high-rise companions.

Take activist hedge funds, which buy up a percentage of a company's stock (or an asset) and then use their weight to push for operational changes. Or there would be a fun, splashy war between the hedge fund and the C-suite. Hedge funds rely on outperforming the market when times are hard and it's easier to find pockets of outperformance and exploit them. Of course, hedge funds are having a hard time coming up with a crew because the clients have changed too.

The results kind of surprised me, but I'm glad I know how to make the best frozen lasagna. The oven is still my go-to method, but I'd use my air fryer again. I wanted the air fryer to be my favorite, largely because it's the quickest method. The toaster oven was also a fine cooking method, but I don't see why I'd use it instead of my standard oven. Overall, the biggest lesson I learned is that there are no circumstances where you should ever microwave a frozen lasagna.

The British Army has shrunk to its lowest level since the early 1800s. That's a far cry from the Chinese army of 2 million soldiers, Russia's 1.3 million, or the 460,000 active-duty troops of the US Army. "As things stand, the British Army is a one-trick pony," Nicholas Drummond, a British defense expert and former infantry officer, told Business Insider.

Hackers more than doubled their cryptocurrency spoils in the first half of 2024 compared with a year ago, a report from blockchain research firm TRM Labs showed. The report said $1.38 billion worth of crypto was looted between Jan. 1 and June 24, more than twice as much as the $657 million stolen in the same period a year ago. The largest heist so far this year swiped more than $300 million worth of bitcoin from Japanese crypto exchange DMM Bitcoin. TRM Labs said there have not been fundamental changes in the crypto ecosystem's security that could have contributed to the increase in amount stolen. But the firm noted that crypto prices have been higher on average in the first half of this year, which could have contributed to the higher value of stolen crypto.

Karen Lynch, the CEO of CVS Health, has a tip for striking the right balance: Share whatever directly helps you solve a problem or connect with someone else. Early in her tenure, she ran a company-wide town hall urging managers to take mental health more seriously. In an unplanned moment, she shared something she'd never told another colleague before, she said: When she was 12, her mother committed suicide. She also felt ashamed, anxious and embarrassed about it, so she spent much of her career being strictly about business, she said. But midway through the town hall, with 50,000 employees listening, Lynch realized she could help her co-workers understand why she felt so strongly about mental health.
