Economy & Markets
The US builds the companies, and much of Southern Europe increasingly hosts the people who work for them. When locals earn local wages but compete for homes with visitors paid by stronger economies, affordability breaks. Here's how the amusement park economy works.

Young Canadians are told to blame landlords, investors and the free market. The numbers point somewhere else: zoning, development fees, demand subsidies and population targets set by governments. Here's why the housing crisis was a policy choice, and what fixing it looks like.

HawkEye 360 doesn't photograph the Earth. Its satellites listen for radio signals, from ship radars to GPS jammers, at night and through clouds. Here's where it's used today, where it's heading, and why it may matter more than another camera in orbit.
Helsing just launched Clarity, a military AI platform pitched as Europe's sovereign alternative to Palantir's Maven. Palantir has the scale, the contracts and NATO. Helsing has the timing. Here's how the two compare and why sovereignty may decide who wins in Europe.
AI labs want gameplay because it records exactly what a player did and what happened next. Gaming could become a data business for robotics and world models, and the players doing the work deserve to be asked and paid.
Christopher Nolan's Tenet is about people moving backward through time while the world moves forward. AI models live with a similar problem, frozen at a cutoff and trained on a past that keeps disappearing, and the film offers a surprisingly useful map for fixing it.
Presidential candidates, authors, bank CEOs and founders now treat a three-hour conversation as their main stage. Podcasts reach more Americans than ever, and the people who need trust most have learned to show up when it counts.
AI is already shrinking entry-level hiring in jobs built on routine work, and more skilled people are going freelance. I think work is drifting from fixed titles to people who orchestrate AI agents across several clients, and the business models around that shift are still wide open.
WoW Forever had the biggest launch in World of Warcraft history, and GTA 6 arrives just 15 days later. GTA 6 will take the spotlight, but WoW Forever's real test is what Blizzard ships after it.

Google's search growth is slowing even as queries hit a five-year high. I don't think it wins the assistant race, but Waymo, robotics and TPUs sold to rival labs could make it the company that profits most from everyone else's AI.

Anthropic added docs, slides, sheets, whiteboards and a meeting assistant to Claude in two months, then began its IPO roadshow. It wants Claude to be where work starts, which puts it on a collision course with Microsoft and Google.

Young Americans are having less sex than earlier generations, and the data points to fewer nights out more than to any change in desire. Phones, fear of being filmed and a culture of self-optimization have made the first move harder, and I think the fix starts offline.

In October, hackers turned supermarket freezers in France into ovens, and a month later nobody knows who did it or why. That uncertainty is what people mean by fifth-generation warfare, and it's also the easiest part of the idea to abuse.
Democrats won the House and Senate, but they don't take over until January 3. Trump can still order strikes, veto bills and spend money already approved, so the real limits on him may be gas prices, Gulf allies and his own party.
Google and Meta have the users, but advertisers pay their bills. A personal agent needs your inbox, your calendar and your credit card, and the people with the most to lose will pay for one that answers only to them.
Meredith Whittaker helped organize a 20,000-person walkout at Google, then took charge of a nonprofit that estimated it would need $50 million a year to run. Her edge at Signal is rare for a tech executive: when she says she'll walk away, people believe her.
