In fact, having received similar pressure during Trump’s first term, Apple, in terms of what it sells in the U.S., now makes most iPhones in India and most laptops, AirPods, and other devices in Vietnam. Furthermore, Cook has committed over $500 billion to new U.S. manufacturing facilities and design centers that will employ about 20,000 Americans.

Following a years-long surge in illegal immigration, the Trump administration is poised to challenge a longstanding but legally fraught practice: counting illegal aliens in the U.S. census. President Trump tried to end the practice during his first term, but President Biden overturned his predecessor’s policy before it was implemented. Now, buoyed by red state attorneys general and Republican legislators, the second Trump administration is determined “to clean up the census and make sure that illegal aliens are not counted,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller said last month.  What Miller didn’t mention are the political implications of the…

Three weeks ago, an engineer named Calvin French-Owen, who worked on one of OpenAI’s most promising new products, resigned from the company.  He just published a fascinating blog post on what it was like to work there for a year, including the sleepless sprint to build Codex. That’s OpenAI’s new coding agent that competes with tools like Cursor and Anthropic’s Claude Code. French-Owen said he didn’t leave because of any “drama,” but because he wants to get back to being a startup founder. He was a co-founder of customer data startup Segment, which was bought by Twilio in 2020 for…

The Pilbara craton in Western Australia is made up of some rocks that are 3.5 billion years oldElizabeth Czitronyi / Alamy Rocks in Australia preserve evidence that plates in Earth’s crust were moving 3.5 billion years ago, a finding that pushes back the beginnings of plate tectonics by hundreds of millions of years. Today, around eight vast, rigid plates of rock at the surface of the planet, plus some smaller plates, are pulled or pushed along a softer layer of rock beneath.

Making friends is hard. It’s even harder as an adult – while the media laments the ongoing ​“male loneliness epidemic”, many men and women are still reckoning with hard truths unveiled during the sudden solitude of the Covid pandemic. The destruction of third spaces, widening gaps in lifestyle exacerbated by lack of disposable income and increasingly unsociable working hours, and the increasing inability to detach ourselves from screens have culminated in a cross-generational crisis whereby plenty of adults – from eighteen to eighty – are realising they just…don’t have friends. The protagonist of Andrew DeYoung’s Friendship is one such case: Craig Waterman (Tim Robinson) is…

Everyone’s version of “spiraling” looks different. Mine typically unravels in one of two ways. I’ve either woken up in the middle of the night crafting a mental check-list of everything that could possibly go wrong—or, I’ve taken on too much and the smallest inconvenience sends my calm facade into chaos. Life can be a lot. Whether you’re caring for kids or aging parents (or both), navigating an evolving job market, or simply trying to absorb the latest headlines, there’s no shortage of ways to feel unmoored these days. When everything seems like too much, even remembering to breathe can feel…
