I have seen the same with bank emails for example not listing a bill balance or deposit amount.

Kudos to those companies that are implementing this.

Pretty clear that this is AI copied slop that no one at Toms Hardware bothered editing as it has no clarity that Nine PBS is the PBS affiliate in St Louis, Missouri.

Here is the source article...

New comment by hnburnsy in "Tesla, Inc. vs. Angstrom Automotive Group, LLC"

>One of the oldest rules taught from the playground is when property belongs to someone else, you return it. Here, Tesla owns specialized manufacturing tooling in Angstrom’s possession. Tesla designed the tooling, paid for it in full, and has an unconditional contractual right to retrieve it. Tesla demanded the return of its property. Angstrom refused. Now, this Court’s intervention is required to prevent immediate and irreparable harm to Tesla.

...

>Tesla’s on-hand supply of the parts produced using the Tooling is dwindling and will be exhausted shortly due to Angstrom’s refusal to ship Tesla’s parts currently in its possession. Without access to its own Tooling, Tesla’s Cybertruck production line will be impacted, causing immediate and irreparable harm to Tesla, its reputation, its employees, its customers, and its other suppliers (and those suppliers’ employees) that no monetary award can remedy.

New comment by hnburnsy in "SPCX is now Wall Street's most shorted new stock"

hnburnsy — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 17:47:06 +0000

For months (years?) JPM thought Tesla was a $130 to $150 stock, until JPM helped out on the SPCX IPO, and wouldn't you know it, replaced the Tesla analyst, current target $475.

My point don't listen to ANY stock analysts.

>J.P. Morgan analyst Rajat Gupta just took over the investment bank's coverage of Tesla's stock (TSLA), and in doing so, he lifted the firm's rating to neutral from underweight. The previous analyst, Ryan Brinkman, was a fairly vocal Tesla bear who warned just two months ago that investors should treat the stock with a "high degree of caution."Brinkman's previous price target of $145 implied 65% downside from Thursday's closing price of $418.45. But Gupta has now raised J.P. Morgan's Tesla target to $475 in conjunction with the upgrade.

From Matt Levine just today...

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/newsletters/2026-07-16/sho...

  Right now, SpaceX has provided 639 million shares to trade. People want more.
  In a month, there will be 1,583 million shares to trade.
  But right now, there are actually 820 million shares to trade: the 639 million provided by SpaceX, plus another 181 million provided by short sellers.

Very few retirement plans offer the Nasdaq 100 as a direct investment choice and certainly no plans offer it as the sole choice.

>However, based on figures from the over 700,000 401(k) plans, allocation to Nasdaq-100 Index mutual funds makes up less than 1% of all 401(k) assets, which the firm suggests is a significant underrepresentation compared to the S&P 500 and other Large Cap Growth Indexes.

Why, no employer's 401K or retirement plan offers QQQ as an investment choice. Anyone buying the Nasdaq 100 is doing so by choice?

>Some commentators have blamed the downtown office apocalypse on Seattle’s taxes, antibusiness rhetoric and perceptions of public safety.

That is very hand-wavy of the author, Seattle literally taxes gross receipts of every business that does over $100,000 [recently raised to $2 million], with no deduction for expenses, and on top of an employer paid payroll expense tax.

>An update. A US official tells me that Sen. Warner misunderstood the NSA director Gen. Rudd in this case. Rudd did use the 'hours, not weeks' wording, but the use of Mythos in this context was—as widely assumed—part of a red-teaming effort, i.e. testing the security of internal networks
