American commentators keep missing a key point even when they conclude correctly: «our allies will never trust us again» We won’t. But that’s not about Trump in particular. It’s because he WON his SECOND election. The American electorate chose this man AGAIN.

I know everyone thinks AI will kill other jobs but not theirs but this is hilarious. I’m 100% sure an AI could eventually be trained to pick winning startups better than a VC finance bro. However VC is about shmoozing with rich people to get them to invest in your fund and ChatGPT can’t do that.

This is what a judge looks like when a company willfully and knowingly ignores a court order, then lies under oath to cover it up. Apple did this. The judge is done playing nice. "For this Court, there is no second bite at the apple." Apple will surely regret playing ugly.
