The tech industry is reeling from President Trump’s surprising new deal with Nvidia. Earlier this week, Trump said he would allow the company to continue selling its H20 chips to China in exchange for a 15 percent share of the revenues.“The H20 is obsolete. You know, it’s one of those things, but it still has a market,” Trump said at a press conference on Monday. “So we negotiated a little deal.”The unusual and legally dubious arrangement is a striking reversal for the Trump administration, which banned all H20 sales to China earlier this year.

When Ivan Rodriguez co-founded JIR Delivery LLC, the last-mile logistics industry was at a crucial inflection point. The rapid rise of e-commerce had fundamentally shifted consumer behavior, elevating expectations for speed, transparency, and reliability. But with that surge in demand came growing frustration. Missed deliveries, delayed packages, and lack of real-time updates were no longer acceptable to increasingly tech-savvy consumers. “We saw that people weren’t just frustrated about delays,” Rodriguez explains. “They felt ignored — like they didn’t matter after clicking the purchase button.” Drawing from his deep background in customer relations and operational leadership—shaped during his years in the…

As of February 2025, Bluesky has surpassed 30 million users. Its growth stems from several policy changes at X, including a heavily criticized change to the block feature…

And I heard, as it were, a sound of thunder. I heard multitudes marching to the big kettle drum. Not to mention, it should be said, even larger multitudes talking on the wicked and unholy internet about agent sightings, failed here-we-gos and the Alexander Isak wheel of global conspiracy.Let he that hath understanding count the number! Because, let’s face it, it really is an absolute beast of a number, 215 live Premier League games on Sky Sports alone, an endless rolling debauchery of games, of graphics that go whoosh, of arguments by the lighted dias.Welcome to the start of the…
