Flex Ltd., ticker FLEX, surged roughly eighty percent in a single month — and the company hasn't even completed the spinoff that sparked it. Nick and Kasey cover this electronics manufacturing services giant for the first time at Chip Stock Investor, breaking down what drove the run-up, what the proposed spinoff actually is, and whether there is anything left for long-term fundamental investors at today's valuation.Flex is one of the world's largest electronics manufacturing services companies, competing with Foxconn, Jabil, Celestica, and Sanmina across a global footprint spanning over ninety locations in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. Unlike the perception that contract manufacturing means cheap labor in Asia, Flex's business increasingly runs on automation and robotics — a structural shift that is compressing cost parity across geographies and driving genuine margin improvement. The spinoff is the centerpiece of this episode. Flex is separating its Cloud and Power Infrastructure segment — referred to as SpinCo in the materials — into a standalone company expected to begin trading by the first quarter of calendar year 2027. This segment posted thirty-eight percent year-over-year revenue growth in fiscal year 2026, with guidance pointing to sixty-five to seventy-five percent growth in fiscal 2027 and over eighty percent in fiscal 2028. The business covers critical power products for utility companies, embedded power systems inside data center servers and racks, thermal management solutions that compete in the same market as Vertiv, and cloud power infrastructure for hyperscalers and neo clouds. SpinCo also carries nearly ten percent adjusted operating margins — roughly double the margin profile of the remaining Flex business.What stays with Flex after the split is the larger but slower-growing core: twenty-one billion in revenue across Regulated Manufacturing Solutions, covering healthcare and automotive, and Integrated Technology Solutions serving customers like Cisco, Juniper Networks, now part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Teradyne. Growth there is expected in the low to mid-single digits. Margins are trending in the right direction, but this is not a high-margin business.Nick and Kasey also zoom out on the broader industrial conglomerate breakup theme reshaping the market — from GE Vernova to Honeywell — and how Flex's spinoff fits squarely into that playbook. The prior Flex spinoff, NextPower in 2024, has performed very well for shareholders and gives the SpinCo story some historical credibility. The balance sheet is in reasonable shape for a manufacturer, with enough cash on hand to support bolt-on acquisitions as SpinCo looks to consolidate market share.The valuation discussion is honest: at roughly sixty to seventy times current earnings, this is a momentum trade. The forward picture for fiscal 2028 could look closer to thirty times earnings if growth delivers, but the stock is not cheap by traditional measures.For in-depth stock research and the Semiconductor Insider membership, visit chipstockinvestor.com.

Welcome to SIT Podcast. Just a few hours ago, the eyes of the global tech world turned to the Taipei Music Center, where NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang delivered a GTC Taipei keynote that sent a jolt through the industry. As we speak, the doors of Computex 2026 have yet to officially open — but NVIDIA has already seized the moment, declaring the arrival of a "new era of PC."In this episode, we take a close look at three defining trends:1. NVIDIA moves into laptop silicon. After more than a decade away, NVIDIA returns to the consumer CPU arena with the N1 and N1X chips. According to supply-chain reports, the high-performance N1X is said to feature a 20-core Arm CPU and Blackwell-architecture graphics, with performance reportedly compared to the desktop-class RTX 5070. More significantly, this could mean the CUDA ecosystem running natively on a Windows-on-Arm laptop for the first time.2. Taiwan — the center of global AI. In his keynote, Huang revealed that NVIDIA's annual spending in Taiwan has grown to roughly $100 billion. The company is also planning an overseas headquarters called "Constellation," reportedly slated to open around 2030 and house some 4,000 employees. From TSMC's manufacturing to Foxconn's assembly, Taiwan has become the heart of what Huang envisions as the AI factory producing computational tokens.3. The rivals respond, and an industry test. Faced with NVIDIA's momentum, Intel has rolled out its Arc G3 chips built for handheld gaming devices, while Qualcomm defends its ground with a $300 entry-level Windows laptop platform. With DRAM and SSD costs climbing, Gartner projects PC prices will rise a notable 17% in 2026 — a real test of what every maker can deliver.歡迎來到 SIT Podcast。就在幾個小時前，全球科技界的目光都聚焦在台北流行音樂中心，NVIDIA 執行長黃仁勳發表了震撼產業的 GTC Taipei 主題演講。此時此刻，Computex 2026 的展覽大門尚未正式開啟，但 NVIDIA 已經先聲奪人，宣告了「PC 新紀元」的到來。在本集節目中，我們將深入解析三大關鍵趨勢：NVIDIA 跨足筆電矽晶片： NVIDIA 睽違十年重回消費型 CPU 戰場，推出 N1 與 N1X 晶片。根據供應鏈報告，高性能的 N1X 據傳搭載 20 核 Arm CPU 與 Blackwell 架構繪圖核心，其性能甚至被拿來與桌機等級的 RTX 5070 相比。更重要的是，這可能代表 CUDA 生態系將首度原生運行於 Windows-on-Arm 筆電。台灣——全球 AI 的中心： 黃仁勳在演講中透露，NVIDIA 每年在台灣的支出已增長至約 1,000 億美元。此外，NVIDIA 正計畫興建名為「Constellation」（星座）的海外總部，預計 2030 年啟用，將容納約 4,000 名員工。從台積電的製造到 Foxconn 的組裝，台灣已成為黃仁勳眼中生產「計算代幣」的 AI 工廠核心。競爭對手的回擊與產業逆風： 面對 NVIDIA 的強勢，Intel 隨即推出專為掌上型遊戲機設計的 Arc G3 晶片，Qualcomm 則以 300 美元的低價 Windows 筆電平台防守市場。然而，在 DRAM 與 SSD 成本飆升的壓力下，Gartner 預測 2026 年 PC 價格將大幅上漲 17%，這對所有廠商來說都是嚴峻的考驗。

Nvidia se ha convertido en la gran protagonista del panorama empresarial tras su participación en la feria Computex celebrada en Taipéi, donde presentó una serie de innovaciones tecnológicas destinadas a marcar el futuro del sector. La elección de Taiwán como escenario principal no ha sido casual. Su director ejecutivo, Jensen Huang, ya adelantó días atrás un ambicioso plan de inversión que podría alcanzar los 150.000 millones de dólares anuales en la isla. Durante la presentación inaugural se proyectó un vídeo en el que se mostraban varias instalaciones de la compañía en territorio taiwanés, además de poner en valor las alianzas estratégicas que mantiene con empresas locales de referencia como Foxconn y TSMC. Entre los anuncios más destacados figura el nuevo chip RTX Spark, destinado al mercado de ordenadores personales y fabricado por TSMC. Con este lanzamiento, Nvidia aspira a reforzar su posición frente a competidores de primer nivel como Intel, AMD, Qualcomm y Apple. El procesador, conocido como N1X, incorporará una GPU basada en la arquitectura Blackwell. Uno de sus principales atractivos será la integración avanzada de inteligencia artificial, permitiendo ejecutar modelos lingüísticos de hasta 120.000 millones de parámetros y manejar contextos de hasta un millón de tokens. En este proyecto, la colaboración con Microsoft desempeñará un papel fundamental mediante la adaptación de Windows 11 para aprovechar plenamente las capacidades de estos nuevos chips. Huang también dedicó parte de su intervención a presentar Vera Rubin, la nueva plataforma de inteligencia artificial de Nvidia. El directivo la definió como una auténtica supercomputadora diseñada específicamente para agentes de IA y destacó que representa un importante avance en la evolución de la informática moderna. Según explicó, empresas como OpenAI, Anthropic y SpaceX ya figuran entre los primeros usuarios de esta tecnología. Además, defendió que la expansión de los agentes inteligentes incrementará significativamente la demanda de capacidad computacional y contribuirá al crecimiento económico sin provocar una destrucción masiva de empleo. Otro de los anuncios relevantes de Computex fue la colaboración entre Nvidia y la compañía china Unitree, especializada en robots humanoides. Gracias a este acuerdo, investigadores de la Universidad de Stanford y de la Universidad de California en San Diego podrán utilizar estas plataformas robóticas en distintos proyectos de investigación. Sin embargo, la relación de Unitree con las autoridades chinas genera ciertas dudas regulatorias, especialmente en Estados Unidos, donde dicha vinculación podría dificultar o ralentizar la adopción de esta tecnología en determinados ámbitos.

Foxconn i tajwańska organizacja TEEMA ogłosiły plany budowy parku technologicznego w Polsce. Lokalizacja zostanie ogłoszona 22 czerwca podczas Taiwan Expo w Warszawie. O tym, dlaczego Tajwan stał się sercem światowej technologii, mówi Wiceminister Rozwoju i Technologii Michał Jaros.Kup subskrypcję „Rzeczpospolitej” pod adresem: https://czytaj.rp.pl

Der DAX geht mit einem Mini-Plus von 0,1 % bei 25.105 Punkten ins Wochenende und bleibt in Schlagdistanz zum Rekord von 25.508 Punkten. Hoffnung auf einen Friedensdeal im Iran-Krieg und sinkende Ölpreise stützen die Stimmung. Brent verliert 1,5 %, WTI fällt um 1,2 % auf unter 90 USD. Gold steigt dagegen rund 1,5 % auf 4.570 USD. An der Wall Street markieren Dow Jones, S&P 500 und Nasdaq neue Höchststände. Der große Gewinner ist Dell: Die Aktie springt um 39 %, nachdem der Konzern die Jahresprognose für KI-Hochleistungsrechner um 20 % angehoben hat. Auch Hewlett Packard, Super Micro Computer und HP legen kräftig zu. Raumfahrtwerte geraten dagegen nach der Explosion einer Blue-Origin-Rakete unter Druck. Bei den Firmenmeldungen hilft die Dividendensaison dem DAX mit rund 600 Punkten Rückenwind. Gap und American Eagle brechen nach schwachen Prognosen ein. Foxconn erhöht wegen KI die Investitionen um 30 %. BMW läuft in Europa stark, China bleibt schwierig. CTS Eventim springt nach 23 % Umsatzplus an. Amazon wird in Australien wegen Produktsicherheit verklagt. Und zum Schluss die Börsenweisheit des Tages. Sie kommt von John C. Bogle: "Suchen Sie nicht die Nadel im Heuhaufen. Kaufen Sie den Heuhaufen."

Chris and Hector break down a major ransomware attack on Foxconn, the growing strain AI data centers are putting on power grids, and new allegations surrounding Microsoft security and cloud infrastructure. They also discuss insider threats, ransomware leaks, BitLocker concerns, and why cybersecurity vendors continue to overwhelm the industry with noise instead of solutions.

Het lijkt wel 2007. De kapitaalmarktrente staat op niveaus die al decennia niet zijn gezien. De rente op Amerikaanse schuldpapieren stijgen in rap tempo, vanwege een aankomende inflatieschok, oorlog en oplopende staatsschulden. Maar het lijkt alsof het op de aandelenmarkt allemaal niks uitmaakt. Daar blijven de recordstanden gewoon overeind. Worden die risico's wel serieus genomen? Je hoort het deze aflevering. Dan hoor je ook over Tesla. Dat heeft een probleem: topman Elon Musk. Met zijn andere hobby - SpaceX - dreigt hij Tesla-beleggers weg te lokken. Analisten denken dat die Musk-fanboys hun geld straks uit Tesla gaan halen, en in SpaceX gaan steken zodra de beursgang een feit is. Zou dat een slimme zet zijn voor die beleggers? En wat betekent het voor het aandeel Tesla? Verder hebben we het over een plan van de Amerikaanse beurswaakhond. Die wil de cryptomarkt verder vervlechten met de beurs. Het moet mogelijk worden om ook tokens van aandelen te kopen. We schakelen vriend van de show Daniël Mol van de Cryptocast in om een oordeel te vellen over de plannen.

Send us Fan MailEight terabytes of stolen schematics is not just a scary number, it is a reminder that cyber risk becomes business risk fast. We start with the Wired report on the Foxconn ransomware attack and unpack what a claim like that could mean in the real world: intellectual property exposure, supply chain disruption, customer impact, and the uncomfortable truth that recovery is only one part of the story when data walks out the door.From there, we switch into CISSP Domain 7 Security Operations mode and work through practical exam-style questions with the “how would this hold up at work” mindset. We break down why live forensics imaging can be the right call during an insider threat investigation, using the order of volatility and the kinds of RAM artifacts that disappear the moment you shut a machine down. We also tackle a Patch Tuesday nightmare scenario where a CVSS 9.8 vulnerability is already being exploited but the change advisory board will not meet for ten days, and we explain why an emergency change process plus compensating controls is the mature security operations answer.We also cover a common privileged access failure where a domain admin uses an elevated account for email and browsing, and how least privilege plus a privileged access workstation (PAW) architecture can prevent a single phish from becoming domain compromise. Finally, we sharpen the fundamentals with an RTO/RPO recovery timeline question and a SIEM brute force threshold miss that illustrates false negatives and the need for better tuning and behavioural baselines.Subscribe for weekly CISSP training, share this with a study partner, and leave a review so more security pros can find the show.

Geert Potjewijd wordt de nieuwe voorzitter van de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens. De privacy-advocaat verdedigde eerder TikTok, Meta, Uber en Avast in privacyzaken, soms met de AP zelf als tegenpartij. Stijn Goossens bespreekt het in deze Tech Update. Geert Potjewijd volgt Aleid Wolfsen op als voorzitter van de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, na tien jaar onder diens leiding. Potjewijd is momenteel nog partner bij advocatenkantoor De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, waar hij gespecialiseerd is in privacy en digitale veiligheid. Zijn achtergrond is opvallend: Potjewijd vertegenwoordigde grote techbedrijven als TikTok, Meta, Uber en Avast in privacyzaken, terwijl de AP in sommige van die zaken juist de aanklager was. De AP zelf benadrukt die buitenwereld-ervaring als een pluspunt: de vice-voorzitter stelt dat Potjewijd "letterlijk de buitenwereld binnenbrengt." Potjewijd zal de komende vijf jaar voorzitter zijn. Hij noemt AI en digitalisering als centrale thema's. De AP kampt al langere tijd met personeelstekorten, wat de slagkracht als toezichthouder onder druk zet. De vraag is of Potjewijd, met zijn ervaring aan de andere kant van de tafel, die slagkracht kan versterken. Verder in deze Tech Update ECB roept Europese banken op zich voor te bereiden op AI-gedreven cyberaanvallen. ECB-bestuurslid Frank Elderson wijst op het risico van het AI-model Mythos van Anthropic, dat razendsnel beveiligingslekken kan opsporen. Europese banken hebben nog geen toegang tot het model, maar Elderson stelt dat dit geen reden is om niet nu al actie te ondernemen.

Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary Cochrane opens the show by framing Anthropic’s new Mythos model as the AlphaGo moment for cybersecurity. From there, the episode moves through Apple’s pushback against AI-generated apps, a gaming anxiety study with a deeply personal hook, a series of “first to ship” energy and robotics wins out of Finland, China, and Japan, and several developer-tool stories that show how quickly the economics of software are shifting. Mythos, the Detection Ceiling, and Wall Street’s Emergency Response Anthropic’s Mythos model has Wall Street rattled. Operating autonomously, Mythos found and demonstrated the exploitation of a 27-year-old TCP SACK bug in OpenBSD, an operating system famous for being one of the most security-focused on the planet. Per Anthropic’s red team, over 99% of the vulnerabilities Mythos has identified remain unpatched. The researchers’ conclusion is blunt: “the moat in AI cybersecurity is the system, not the model.” The policy response moved fast. On April 7th, Treasury Secretary Bessent and Fed Chair Jerome Powell pulled the CEOs of Goldman Sachs, Citi, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley into Treasury headquarters on short notice. All four banks are now testing Mythos internally. Treasury CIO Sam Corcos is also seeking direct access. Anthropic is gating distribution through Project Glasswing, a limited-access program with JPMorgan, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Cochrane comes down firmly behind Anthropic’s gated approach. Because a 5.1-billion-parameter open model can apparently recover the core analysis chain for the OpenBSD flaw, this capability is not locked behind Frontier Compute. He wants the critical infrastructure hardened before the public gets keys. However, he also notes the bigger lesson is about human wisdom: people offloading all their thinking to AI lose out on the wisdom that makes any of these tools genuinely useful. Apple Bans Vibe Coding Apps from the App Store Apple has been quietly pushing back against what people are calling “vibe coding” apps. Replit, Vibecode, and an app called Anything all run AI models on the phone and produce working software that runs inside the host app. Apple cites Guideline 2.5.2, in effect since 2017, which requires apps to be self-contained. Replit and Vibecode had their App Store updates blocked. Anything was pulled in late March, briefly restored on April 3rd, and then pulled the same day again. The forcing function is volume. App Store submissions jumped 84% in a single quarter as vibe coding tools flooded Apple’s review queue with AI-generated apps. Cochrane thinks Apple is justified, given the security issues swirling around the Vibe coding ecosystem. Even a beautiful diamond gets lost in a sea of sand, and that flood is exactly what Apple is trying to manage. The company behind Anything is now pivoting to iMessage, desktop, and Android. Playing Video Games to Win Is Linked to Higher Anxiety Cochrane gets personal on this one. Through high school and his early 20s, he was deeply addicted to League of Legends. His dad teased him about it constantly. In the last few years of that addiction, his body would go ice cold and shake every ranked match before. His partner identified it as a panic attack. The moment that happened, he quit. Today, he no longer shakes. The new study lines up with his experience. Researchers Kayleigh Watters and Mikael Rubin at Palo Alto University analyzed a publicly available database of 13,464 adult gamers, most of whom primarily played League of Legends. Players who game to win show higher generalized anxiety but actually play fewer hours, since performance pressure pushes them out. Players who game to relax show strong links between social anxiety avoidance and more hours played. The study appeared in the Journal of Affective Disorders. The headline framing of “playing to win makes you anxious” misses the point. The real finding is more interesting: gaming for avoidance and gaming for competition are both warning signs, for different reasons. Cochrane notes that the League of Legends community’s toxicity has been a running joke for years, and this study suggests the game’s structure may have been manufacturing the anxiety that fueled it.

Verge Motorcycle: World’s First Production All-Solid-State Battery Cochrane filled his tank for $60 today, which made this story land especially hard. His mom has driven electric for years and patiently manages a 90-mile real-world range. The next-generation answer is already shipping. Verge Motorcycles, a Finnish company, is the first production vehicle of any kind with an all-solid-state battery. Their 2026 bikes ship in Q1 with a pack from Donut Lab, another Finnish outfit spun out of Verge. The numbers are bonkers. The pack delivers an energy density of 400 Wh/kg, roughly double that of current Tesla cells. It sustains 100kW charging, hits full charge in about 5 minutes in the lab and 12 minutes on the actual bike, and the long-range version covers 600 kilometers (about 370 miles) per charge. Toyota, QuantumScape, and Samsung SDI have all been telling us that solid-state is coming in 2027 to 2030. A Finnish motorcycle company shipping in Q1 2026 just embarrassed them all. UBTech Humanoid Robot Sales Jump 23-Fold UBTech dropped its 2025 annual earnings on April 1st. Humanoid robot revenue hit 820 million yuan, roughly $119 million USD, up 2,203% from 35.6 million yuan the year before. Unit sales went from 3 robots in 2024 to 1,079 in 2025. Shares jumped 14% on the announcement. The customer list is a real industrial deployment: BYD, Foxconn, Geely, FAW-Volkswagen, and Audi. The flagship is the Walker S2, with UBTech targeting 5,000 units in 2026 and 10,000 in 2027. Cochrane is honest about what this means. He does not think we are heading for an extinction event, but worker displacement is a real concern. The US has no universal income or universal healthcare. The people affected are not white-collar managers. They are everyday line workers who already make the least on the ladder. Work efficiency reportedly doubles when these robots arrive, which is a company-side win, but the humans they replace are not getting half a year of gardening leave to retrain. He invites the listener to take on this one directly. Japan Switches On Asia’s First Osmotic Power Plant In August 2025, Fukuoka’s Seawater Desalination Center quietly opened Asia’s first osmotic power facility. It generates about 880,000 kilowatt-hours per year, enough for roughly 220 homes. It is only the second operational osmotic plant in the world, after Mariager, Denmark, in 2023. Osmotic generation uses a salinity gradient: fresh water on one side of a membrane, salt water on the other, and the pressure difference spins a turbine. The clever part is what Fukuoka does with desalination brine. Instead of regular seawater, the plant uses concentrated brine left over from the desalination process. This amplifies the salt gradient and squeezes more energy out of the same membrane. The result is a closed-loop partnership: the desalination facility produces drinking water and leaves brine behind, the osmotic plant turns the brine into electricity, and that electricity runs the desalination facility. Every desalination plant on Earth produces brine, so if Fukuoka’s co-located model works, the same pattern could be replicated across hundreds of plants worldwide. Japan’s Luna Ring Solar Moon Proposal Goes Viral Again Shimizu Corporation’s Luna Ring concept is making the rounds again. The pitch: a 6,800-mile belt of solar panels around the Moon’s equator, beaming microwave power back to Earth. Project lead Tetsuji Yoshida has long argued that a full ring could eliminate fossil fuel dependence entirely. The proposal first surfaced in 2013, has no funding, no government endorsement, and no concrete cost estimate. Shimizu has not put any active development behind it. Cochrane finds the concept fun every time it resurfaces. However, this would have to be a worldwide effort in the truest sense, with treaties, a new generation of launch economics, and microwave power transmission at a scale nobody has demonstrated. Beaming the power back to Earth has always been one of the biggest practical holdbacks. The Luna Ring is inspirational, but not shipping. Finland’s Onkalo Nuclear Waste Vault Opens Finland’s Onkalo facility is the world’s first permanent deep geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel. Operated by Posiva, the facility is buried about 430 meters down in 1.9-billion-year-old bedrock. It is designed to hold up to 6,500 tons of spent fuel and operate until the 2120s. The construction costs about €1 billion, with operating and closure adding roughly €4 billion more before the program is done. The catch is that radioactivity remains dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years. Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists, warned that the copper canisters will eventually corrode, with different scientific opinions on how fast. Geologic disposal remains “fraught with uncertainties,” and we have never validated an engineered system across a 100,000-year time frame. The bet is that the rock and copper outlast the radioactivity. Cochrane sees Onkalo as time-buying rather than a final answer. It is more of a bank holding spent fuel while science catches up. He prefers it to Japan’s ongoing approach of releasing tritium-treated water from Fukushima Daiichi into the Pacific, even though the dilution is well below WHO drinking water guidelines. Burying the waste in an insurmountable containment strikes him as the more honest answer to a problem nobody knows how to truly solve. Ghostty Terminal Lands in the Ubuntu Repos Ghostty 1.3.0 is now available in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS’s universe repository. The install is simply `sudo apt install ghostty`, no PPAs, no Snap, no Nix, no building from source. Ghostty was created by Mitchell Hashimoto, co-founder of HashiCorp. It is GPU-accelerated, uses native Swift on macOS and native GTK4 with libadwaita on Linux, and supports tabs, splits, profiles, ligatures, and the Kitty graphics protocol. Cochrane recently caught Hashimoto on a podcast, where he walked through his agentic coding workflow. Ghostty is being actively built using AI harnesses like Claude Code and Codex. Hashimoto told a story in which Codex fixed a six-month-old bug in 45 minutes, for a total API cost of $4.14. Personally, Cochrane uses WezTerm, but he is excited to see Ghostty become more widely available with a native UI rather than Electron. Borgo: Rethinking Go Using Rust Analytics India Magazine profiled Borgo, a programming language by developer Marco Sampellegrini (GitHub: alpacaaa). Borgo is statically typed with Rust-like syntax, but it compiles to Go and uses the Go runtime and garbage collector. It includes sum types (Option and Result), pattern matching, and full compatibility with existing Go packages. Notably, it removes Rust’s borrow checker and lifetimes entirely. Borgo is not new. It first appeared on Hacker News in 2023, with a RustLab talk in 2024. The 2026 angle is a renewed look at it through the lens of AI coding agents, since type-rich languages like Rust have been showing outsized productivity gains. Cochrane is a fan of Rust and stands by the borrow checker, but he enjoys these exploratory languages for what they reveal about what developers actually want. Caveman: A Claude Code Skill That Cuts 65% of Tokens Developer Julius Brussee built a Claude Code skill called Caveman that forces Claude to respond in stripped-down fragments. No articles, no “just,” no “really,” no pleasantries, no hedging. The tagline is “why use many token when few token do trick.” Across 10 real dev tasks, Caveman mode averaged 294 tokens per response, compared to 1,214 in normal mode. That is a 65% drop in output tokens. The project is MIT licensed with three intensity levels: lite, full, and ultra. Cochrane stumbled across the project online and shared it with a classmate who had been complaining about token costs. The classmate now insists that “the caveman is the only way to live.” Cochrane has not made the switch, but the bigger point lands. If a community plugin can cut 65% of tokens without correctness regressions, the labs are shipping verbose-by-default and charging users for the privilege. He suspects verbose output makes models feel more trustworthy, even when the token math says otherwise. Cloudflare Launches EmDash as a WordPress Successor Cloudflare released EmDash on April 9th, an open-source, MIT-licensed, TypeScript-based CMS pitched as the spiritual successor to WordPress. The big flex is that it was built in 60 days using AI coding agents. EmDash runs on Astro 6.0, either on Cloudflare’s edge platform or on a standard Node.js server. The plugin security model uses sandboxed Dynamic Workers with explicit permissions, addressing the architecture flaw that Cloudflare says causes 96% of WordPress vulnerabilities. Cochrane could not resist pointing out the irony of the name. The em dash has become the trademark giveaway that an AI was involved in writing. He has reservations about whether EmDash will succeed. WordPress is extremely hard to unseat, plenty of “WordPress killers” have come and gone, and the ecosystem is twenty-plus years deep. He is curious to see what comes next but not optimistic. Google Open-Sources the DESIGN.md Format Google Labs open-sourced the DESIGN.md format used by Stitch, their AI UI design tool. DESIGN.md is a declarative file capturing a project’s design system, colors, typography, and spacing in a way AI agents can read and apply. Cochrane has tried Stitch personally and finds it impressive at producing web designs. He has also seen DESIGN.md-style files already start appearing in repositories. He sees this kind of file becoming a new paradigm for agentic design, alongside robots.txt and llms.txt. However, he worries about a side effect. If everyone uses the same standardized format and the same AI tools, the web could become a homogeneous set of sites that all look the same. He is enthusiastic about the standardization but hopes designers continue to push for genuinely unique work. A 13-Liter PC With a Water Loop Built Into the Case Geeky Gadgets covered a build by “Visual Thinker”, a 13-liter mini-ITX case with custom SLA-printed water distribution plates built directly into the chassis. Instead of traditional soft tubing, plates channel coolant between the CPU and GPU blocks and are sealed with TPU and silicone molds. The case supports a full-size GPU and an SFX power supply. No thermal benchmarks, parts list, or pricing have been published. It is a one-off you cannot buy. Cochrane sees this as a sign of where PC building has gone in 2026. Modern mid-grade GPUs run nearly every recent game, so raw performance is no longer the differentiator. He likes seeing builders lean into design and craft rather than just stuffing the most powerful parts into a box. He admits he is the traditional type and built his own machine to maximize parts, but the design-first direction is a healthy evolution for the hobby. To close out the show, Cochrane recommends Pocket Casts as a podcast app. He finds it picks up new episodes very quickly. Big thanks to GoDaddy for over twenty years of keeping this show on the air, and a reminder that every promo code use is like writing a check to the show.

Rivian Automotive's stock soared by more than 8% in premarket trading on Thursday, after Uber announced it would invest up to $1.25 billion in the electric vehicle maker—whose shares have plummeted in a years-long rout—to deploy tens of thousands of robotaxis across the U.S. by the next decade. Key Facts Shares of Rivan jumped 8.2% in premarket trading on Thursday, marking what would be a slight rebound for the stock after stumbling by more than 14% this year. Uber said Thursday it would invest up to $1.25 billion in Rivian through 2031, with plans to purchase 10,000 of Rivian's upcoming R2 vehicle and an option to buy an additional 40,000 robotaxis in 2030. An initial $300 million investment from Uber to Rivian is expected shortly after the deal's signing and is subject to regulatory approval, Uber said. The R2 robotaxis are expected to be available through Uber in 25 cities across the U.S., Canada and Europe, with San Francisco and Miami as the launching sites in 2028, the companies said.  Uber's Robotaxi Expansion: From Rivian To Nvidia Uber has announced several partnerships over the last year as it competes with the Alphabet-backed Waymo in the robotaxi market. The company announced a strategic partnership with the Amazon-backed Zoox last week, with plans for Zoox's robotaxis to be made available through Uber by 2027. In October, Stellantis announced a joint project with Uber, Nvidia and Foxconn, with plans for Uber to deploy robotaxis from the automotive conglomerate—spanning Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler and more—in the U.S. That same day, Nvidia said it was partnering with Uber to increase Uber's autonomous vehicle fleet to 100,000, starting in 2027. Lucid, in September 2025, announced a $300 million investment from Uber, which said it would later deploy Lucid's robotaxis.

Xăng dầu tăng giá là hệ quả rõ nhất có thể thấy ở Việt Nam do chiến tranh Trung Đông. Tình hình xung đột kéo dài và nguy cơ gián đoạn tại eo biển Hormuz đặt Việt Nam trước nhiều thách thức kinh tế và thương mại. Chi phí sản xuất và vận tải đội giá, ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến các ngành công nghiệp quan trọng. Chuỗi cung ứng toàn cầu bị gián đoạn, nguyên liệu nhập khẩu trở nên khan hiếm. Những biến động này làm giảm tính cạnh tranh của hàng Việt tại các thị trường trọng điểm như Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, Hoa Kỳ. Nền kinh tế toàn cầu xấu đi cũng không phải là dấu hiệu tốt cho Việt Nam vì một phần lớn tăng trưởng dựa vào xuất khẩu. Chi phí gia tăng còn có nguy cơ đẩy lạm phát lên cao. Tất cả những thách này đòi hỏi Việt Nam cần có những giải pháp ứng phó nhanh và hiệu quả. Trên đây là một số nhận định của nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon, giảng viên tại Đại học Công giáo Lyon (UCLy) chuyên ngành khoa học chính trị, thành viên của Viện Đông Á tại Trường Sư phạm Lyon (ENS de Lyon), khi trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 12/03/2026. RFI : Cuộc chiến bùng nổ ở Trung Đông đang gây ra những ảnh hưởng sâu rộng đến nhiều lĩnh vực và hầu hết các quốc gia trên thế giới, trong đó có Việt Nam. Trung Đông có vai trò như thế nào trong quan hệ kinh tế và thương mại của Việt Nam hiện nay ? Laurent Gédéon : Kim ngạch thương mại giữa Việt Nam và Trung Đông còn khá hạn chế, với xuất khẩu sang khu vực này chiếm chưa đến 3% tổng kim ngạch. So với Mỹ, Trung Quốc hay Liên Hiệp Châu Âu thì Trung Đông vẫn là thị trường nhỏ hơn, nhưng vẫn được xem là một thị trường chiến lược tiềm năng đối với Việt Nam vì một số lý do. Thứ nhất, về xuất khẩu, Trung Đông là thị trường tiêu thụ nhiều hàng hóa của Việt Nam như điện thoại, linh kiện điện tử, dệt may và đồ nội thất. Khu vực này cũng nhập khẩu nhiều nông sản và thủy sản của Việt Nam do phụ thuộc vào nguồn thực phẩm bên ngoài. Do đó, gạo, cà phê, tiêu, hạt điều, cũng như tôm và các loại hải sản khác của Việt Nam cũng tìm được thị trường đầy triển vọng. Ngoài ra, thị trường thực phẩm “halal”, ít được biết đến nhưng đang phát triển mạnh và có thể đạt 5.000 tỷ đô la vào năm 2030, trở thành lĩnh vực chiến lược mà Việt Nam hướng tới để đáp ứng nhu cầu của các nước Hồi Giáo. Về nhập khẩu, Việt Nam chủ yếu nhập năng lượng từ Trung Đông, đặc biệt là dầu mỏ, sản phẩm từ dầu, khí tự nhiên hóa lỏng và nguyên liệu hóa học. Ngoài ra còn có kim loại và nguyên liệu thô phục vụ công nghiệp. Những nguồn này rất quan trọng đối với ngành công nghiệp và hệ thống năng lượng của Việt Nam. Về mặt này, Trung Đông đóng vai trò then chốt đối với Việt Nam với tư cách là nhà cung cấp năng lượng và công nghiệp. Đọc thêmMối quan hệ truyền thống khiến Việt Nam khó xử trong xung đột Israel-Hamas Đối với các nước vùng Vịnh, Việt Nam đã triển khai chiến lược đầu tư từ nhiều năm qua thông qua các hiệp định thương mại song phương. Tiêu biểu là Hiệp định Đối tác Kinh tế Toàn diện (CEPA) ký ngày 28/10/2024 tại Dubai với Các Tiểu Vương Quốc Ả Rập Thống, nhằm xóa bỏ hầu hết thuế quan, thúc đẩy đầu tư và tăng cường thương mại song phương. Nhìn chung, có thể nói rằng Trung Đông là đòn bẩy quan trọng giúp Việt Nam đa dạng hóa thương mại và nguồn năng lượng, giảm phụ thuộc vào một số đối tác lớn như Trung Quốc và Hoa Kỳ. RFI : Căng thẳng hoặc xung đột ở Trung Đông có thể ảnh hưởng đến mức độ nào đối với một số thị trường xuất khẩu quan trọng của Việt Nam, như Liên Hiệp Châu Âu hoặc Hoa Kỳ, cũng như các nước vùng Vịnh và Israel ? Laurent Gédéon : Xung đột ở Trung Đông có khả năng tác động đến thị trường xuất khẩu của Việt Nam theo nhiều cách. Thứ nhất, xung đột ở Trung Đông có thể làm giá năng lượng tăng cao vì đây là một trong những khu vực sản xuất dầu khí hàng đầu thế giới. Nếu xung đột kéo dài, sản xuất và vận chuyển hydrocarbon sẽ bị ảnh hưởng. Giá dầu khí tăng khiến chi phí vận tải biển và hàng không tăng, kéo theo chi phí sản xuất tại Việt Nam cao hơn, đặc biệt trong các ngành công nghiệp, dệt may, điện tử và vận tải. Khi giá sản phẩm tăng, hàng Việt Nam sẽ kém cạnh tranh hơn tại các thị trường trọng điểm, cụ thể là Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Mỹ - hai thị trường xuất khẩu chính (chiếm gần 40%) đối với hàng chế tạo của Việt Nam. Đọc thêmViệt Nam hợp tác dầu khí với Ả Rập Xê Út Yếu tố thứ hai là nhiều tuyến thương mại chiến lược sẽ bị gián đoạn nếu xung đột dẫn đến bất ổn kéo dài ở hai khu vực hàng hải nhạy cảm là Vịnh Ba Tư và phía bắc Ấn Độ Dương, cùng với việc eo biển Hormuz bị đóng một phần hoặc toàn bộ. Tình hình thậm chí có thể nghiêm trọng hơn nếu lực lượng Houthi ở Yemen cũng tham gia vào cuộc xung đột và siết chặt phong tỏa ở eo biển Bab-el-Mandeb để giảm bớt áp lực cho Iran. Cho dù hiện nay lực lượng Houthi giữ thái độ thận trọng nhưng vẫn không thể loại trừ một kịch bản như vậy, bởi vì thủ lĩnh Abdul-Malik al-Houthi đã tuyên bố trên truyền hình ngày 05/03 rằng lực lượng Houthi sẵn sàng tấn công bất cứ lúc nào. Trong bối cảnh bất ổn như vậy, tàu thuyền sẽ phải tránh các vùng biển nguy hiểm, điều này sẽ làm tăng thời gian vận chuyển và chi phí logistic. Trong trường hợp đó, Việt Nam sẽ gặp khó khăn, vì chuỗi giá trị xuất khẩu của Việt Nam phụ thuộc rất nhiều vào các tuyến hàng hải nối các trung tâm sản xuất châu Á với các thị trường lớn ở châu Âu và Bắc Mỹ. Bất kỳ sự gián đoạn nào đối với các tuyến đường này đều có thể dẫn đến việc tăng chi phí và chậm trễ giao hàng. Cuối cùng, yếu tố thứ ba liên quan đến kinh tế toàn cầu. Căng thẳng ở Trung Đông có thể gây bất ổn kinh tế chung, đặc biệt là việc nhà đầu tư rút vốn và các nước phân bổ lại ngân sách tập trung cho quốc phòng. Điều này có thể làm suy yếu kinh tế của các đối tác thương mại của Việt Nam, đặc biệt ở Trung Đông, từ đó giảm nhu cầu nhập khẩu. Nếu xung đột kéo dài hoặc leo thang, tác động tương tự cũng có thể lan sang châu Âu và Mỹ, hai thị trường xuất khẩu quan trọng của Việt Nam. Đọc thêmPetroVietnam sẽ đầu tư 1,2 tỷ đô la vào một mỏ dầu tại Iran Do đó, xung đột giữa Iran với Hoa Kỳ và Israel có thể gián tiếp ảnh hưởng đến kinh tế Việt Nam. Mặc dù Trung Đông không phải đối tác thương mại chính nhưng căng thẳng khu vực vẫn có thể gây ra hậu quả đáng kể cho các thị trường xuất khẩu lớn của Việt Nam. Nếu gián đoạn kéo dài, hàng hóa Việt Nam có nguy cơ kém cạnh tranh về giá so với các nước gần châu Âu và Bắc Mỹ hơn và sử dụng các tuyến vận tải ngắn hơn hoặc ít rủi ro hơn. RFI : Ngành công nghệ của Việt Nam đang phát triển. Tại sao lĩnh vực này cũng có thể bị tác động với những diễn biến địa-chính trị ở Trung Đông ? Laurent Gédéon : Nhìn chung ngành công nghiệp công nghệ của Việt Nam, bao gồm điện tử, bán dẫn và lắp ráp, phụ thuộc lớn vào năng lượng và nguyên liệu thô. Căng thẳng tại các quốc gia sản xuất hydrocarbon như Ả Rập Xê Út, Qatar hay Các Tiểu Vương Quốc Ả Rập Thống Nhất có thể làm giá dầu và khí đốt tăng lên, kéo theo chi phí sản xuất và vận tải quốc tế tăng, như đã nói ở trên. Trong khi đó hoạt động công nghiệp của Việt Nam cần nguồn năng lượng lớn, giá năng lượng tăng sẽ tác động đến sức cạnh tranh của hàng xuất khẩu công nghệ Việt Nam. Việt Nam đã trở thành mắt xích quan trọng trong chuỗi sản xuất công nghệ toàn cầu nhờ sự hiện diện của các tập đoàn lớn như Samsung, Intel, Foxconn và Apple. Với vai trò nhà xuất khẩu sản phẩm hoàn chỉnh, bất kỳ gián đoạn nào trong chuỗi logistic hoặc tăng chi phí vận chuyển đến các thị trường xuất khẩu đều sẽ gây thiệt hại đáng kể cho Việt Nam. Trường hợp Israel đặc biệt quan trọng, cần được nhắc lại, bởi vì Việt Nam hợp tác sâu rộng với Nhà nước Do Thái trong trí tuệ nhân tạo AI và công nghệ nông nghiệp (agritech). Agritech là lĩnh vực ứng dụng kỹ thuật số và robot nhằm nâng cao năng suất và hiệu quả nông nghiệp. Căng thẳng kéo dài có thể làm chậm các dự án hợp tác và giảm đầu tư. Trong bối cảnh Israel là một trung tâm công nghệ quan trọng, việc căng thẳng khu vực kéo dài hoặc leo thang có thể làm chậm các dự án hợp tác công nghệ song phương và dẫn đến sự sụt giảm đầu tư trong lĩnh vực này. Tương tự, Việt Nam cũng có thể phải đối mặt thách thức này với các nước vùng Vịnh, vốn đang thúc đẩy đa dạng hóa kinh tế tập trung vào mở rộng công nghệ cao và đổi mới sáng tạo từ nhiều năm gần đây. Đọc thêmIsrael bán hai vệ tinh do thám cho cơ quan tình báo quân sự Việt Nam Ngoài khu vực Trung Đông, khủng hoảng có thể sẽ gây lạm phát toàn cầu và suy giảm kinh tế ở châu Âu và Mỹ. Và như vậy có thể sẽ làm dao động hoặc giảm nhu cầu sản phẩm điện tử. Đây sẽ là một thách thức lớn cho ngành công nghệ Việt Nam. RFI : Việt Nam đặt mục tiêu tăng trưởng ít nhất 10% vào năm 2026. Áp lực thuế quan của Mỹ đã thúc đẩy Việt Nam tìm cách đa dạng hóa đối tác thương mại. Xung đột ở Trung Đông có thể tác động như thế nào đến mục tiêu này ? Laurent Gédéon : Cuộc xung đột sẽ tác động mạnh đến nguồn năng lượng. Ngày 10/03, Cơ quan Thông tin Năng lượng Hoa Kỳ (EIA) điều chỉnh dự báo giá dầu Brent 2026 lên 79 đô la/thùng (so với 58 đô la vào tháng 02/2026) và tăng 36% kể từ đầu năm. Giá năng lượng tăng sẽ ảnh hưởng đến xăng, dầu hỏa, phân bón, hóa dầu, nhựa và  như vậy sẽ tác động trực tiếp đến vận tải, công nghiệp, luyện kim, bán lẻ và thực phẩm. Nếu xu hướng này tiếp diễn, lạm phát ở Việt Nam, hiện là 2,5%, có thể tăng gấp đôi trong những tháng tới. Giá dầu tăng cũng sẽ đè nặng lên tăng trưởng GDP, ngay cả khi Việt Nam là nước sản xuất dầu khí bởi vì Việt Nam cũng phải nhập dầu khí. Hiện giờ rất khó đưa ra các dự đoán chính xác. Nếu eo biển Hormuz bị đóng cửa hoàn toàn và kéo dài, có nghĩa là Iran rải thủy lôi và bắn vào tàu thuyền tìm cách đi qua, thì giá dầu có thể ở mức hơn 100 đô la/thùng. Một trong những tác động đối với Việt Nam, như đã đề cập, là lạm phát có thể vượt 5%, và xuất khẩu giảm, cho nên có khả năng GDP bị giảm thêm 1%. Tình hình này đòi hỏi chính quyền Việt Nam theo dõi sát sao để dự báo tác động và triển khai các biện pháp ứng phó hiệu quả.

What if “reindustrialization” delivers fabs, data centers, and subsidies—but not the jobs? We sit down with Marxist geographer Phil Neel to unpack Hell World, a sweeping account of how deindustrialization, gigified services, and AI deskilling have rewired the global labor map. Drawing on years of on-the-ground research and a panoramic read of supply chains, Neel explains why factories employ far fewer people, why service work resists productivity gains, and how rents—especially real estate—shape cities and politics more than we admit.We follow the trail from Foxconn's peaks to muted booms in Vietnam and India, from “Chinese investment” myths in East Africa to the very real power of trade networks, wholesale warehouses, and e-commerce hubs. Along the way, Neel dismantles comforting periodizations—neoliberalism, monopoly capital, neo-feudalism—that blur structural continuities in accumulation. The state is growing, but not as a cure: military contracts, healthcare complexes, and subsidized tech now anchor a reindustrialization that largely bypasses wage earners.So where does strategy live? Neel argues for a Promethean, developmental communism that treats production and complexity as political terrain. That means credible plans for electrification, clean water, durable housing, and transit—paired with the organizational muscle to win space: assemblies, strike capacity, and the willingness to cross today's legal tripwires that have long neutralized labor. Electoral wins can blunt repression at the margins, but they won't substitute for power built in services, logistics, and the everyday circuits where value and control actually move.If your city's future looks like a shiny battery plant and an even larger rent bill, this conversation offers a sharper map. We trace commodities back to ports and smelters, expose the limits of jobless growth, and sketch a politics that aims higher than nostalgic compacts and faster than the next subsidy cycle. Listen, share with a friend, and tell us: where would you place power to make material gains possible today?

How Taiwan rose to global prominence in high tech manufacturing, from computer maker to the world's leading chip manufacturer. How did Taiwan, a former Japanese colony and the last fortress of the defeated Chinese Nationalists, ascend to such heights in high-tech manufacturing? In Island Tinkerers: Innovation and Transformation in the Making of Taiwan's Computing Industry (MIT Press, 2024), Honghong Tinn tells the critical history of how hobbyists and enthusiasts in Taiwan, including engineers, technologists, technocrats, computer users, and engineers-turned-entrepreneurs, helped transform the country with their hands-on engagement with computers. Rather than engaging in wholesale imitation of US sources, she explains, these technologists tinkered with imported computing technology and experimented with manufacturing their own versions, resulting in their own brand of successful innovation. Defying the stereotype of “the West innovates, and the East imitates,” Tinn tells the story of Taiwanese technologists' efforts over the past six decades. Beginning in the 1960s, they grappled with the “black-boxed” computers that were newly available through international technical-aid programs. Shortly after, multinational corporations that outsourced transistor and integrated circuit assembly overseas began employing Taiwanese engineers and factory workers. Island tinkerers developed strategies to adapt, modify, assemble, and work with computers in an inventive manner. It was through this creative and ingenious tinkering with computers that they were able to gain a better understanding of the technology, opening the door to future manufacturing endeavors that now include Acer, Foxconn, Asus, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Honghong Tinn is Assistant Professor in the Program in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Li-Ping Chen is a visiting scholar in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California.

We discuss how Democratic candidates for Governor are competing with each other to embrace the BadgerCare Public Option bill, which will soon be introduced in the state legislature. We are joined by Citizen Action's Healthcare Action Coordinator, Kristie Tweed, to discuss widespread public support for bold action on healthcare costs and coverage. Kristie tells us about town halls Citizen Action members are holding throughout the state and how you can get involved as we push for passage of BadgerCare Public Option. We expose the power flex by big business hacks at the Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce (MMAC) which has filed suit to block proposed Port Washington ordinance to give residents a vote on public subsidies in big economic development deals. The business lobby, which promoted Foxconn, has a history of challenging democratic decision making, believing big corporations have a right to our tax money. Trump doubles down on threats to seize control of state elections, as lackey Congressman Brian Steil introduces a shocking voter suppression bill that does the bidding of the would-be dictator in the White House. We discuss why Wisconsin will be ground zero for the attack on the 2026 election and what we can do about it. Also, we discuss the ICE kidnapping of a Madison area soccer player's mom (who had legal status) at a soccer tournament, yet another example of the searing human toll of Trump's lawless crackdown.

De Europese beurzen zijn het nieuwe jaar sterk uit de startblokken geschoten. Met een plus van bijna 4 procent dit jaar is de AEX zelfs koploper in Europa. Dat is met name te danken aan de zware weging van de techbedrijven onze index, stellen Wim Zwanenburg (Stroeve Lemberger) en Marc Langeveld (Antaurus AI Tech Fund). "Als je kijkt naar wat Wall Street strategen zeggen, dan kan het maar één kant op, omhoog", legt Wim uit. Ook Marc ziet het positief in, maar dan vooral als het gaat om de technologiesector, die het goed zal blijven doen in 2026. De sectoren buiten de technologie hebben het duidelijk moeilijker, maar over all ziet het er goed uit. Wel is het zo dat de geopolitieke onrust sterk is toegenomen, maar die lijkt beleggers niet van hun stuk te brengen. Goede voorbeelden van hoe sterk technologie presteert, zijn de resultaten van TSMC en Foxconn. Beide bedrijven openden hun boeken over het vierde kwartaal en in beide gevallen was het prima. Marc heeft, als techexpert wel een voorkeur voor TSMC boven Foxconn. Verder bespreken we in de podcast de ambities van TomTom op de defensiemarkt en de acties van de VEB tegen Philips en OCI. Beide bedrijven hebben het nodige uit te leggen aan hun aandeelhouders. Uiteraard bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tips. Voor Wim is dat een algemene tip, Marc tipt een ETF met de ISIN-code IE000YBGJ9I4. Geniet van de podcast! Let op: alleen het eerste deel is vrij te beluisteren.

VanEck ETF’s (advertorial) Deze week is ook weer het tweewekelijks gesprek te beluisteren met Martijn Rozemuller, ceo van VanEckETF’s, de partner van BeursTalk. In dit eerste gesprek van 2026 gaan we een beetje de diepte in, we bespreken covered call ETF's en de voor- en nadelen van equal weight ETF's. Gelukkig weet Martijn het in heldere bewoordingen uit te leggen. Wie zich heeft verdiept in ETF's, wat elke ETF-belegger behoort te doen, is vast de term covered call ETF tegengekomen. In de kern komt het erop neer dat de uitgever van de ETF call opties verkoopt op de onderliggende aandelen. Dat kan een extra premie opleveren. Martijn legt ook uit waarom VanEck daar niet aan doet. We gaan ook in op de vraag of de toenemende populariteit van ETF's een prijsopdrijvend effect hebben op bepaalde aandelen. Dan hebben we het specifiek over markt gewogen indices. Ook hier legt Martijn uit dat dat in principe zo is. VanEck heeft zowel mark tgewogen ETF's als gelijk gewogen ETF's. De meeste bekende indices zijn markt gewogen, wat historisch goed verklaarbaar is. Martijn heeft persoonlijk een voorkeur voor gelijk gewogen ETF's, omdat die in feite een betere spreiding geven dan markt gewogen ETF's. Geniet van de podcast!

Delta Electronics (台達電子) is a Taiwanese company in the power management and energy efficiency space. With $14 billion in sales and a $80 billion market cap, Delta is as of this writing Taiwan's third most valuable company behind only TSMC and Foxconn. The stock has skyrocketed 150% so far this year. Guess why? Hint it starts with “A” and ends with “I”. Delta's climb to its current heights took over half a century. In this video, we talk about a quiet Taiwanese power supply giant.

Louisville got a major economic development announcement recently with the news that multinational tech giant Foxconn is opening up a facility here — but it does raise some questions.We talk about what we know — and what we don't know— on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and other officials announced on Tuesday, Dec. 9, that Foxconn Technology USA Corp. — the American subsidiary of Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Co. Ltd. — would invest $173 million to launch a manufacturing operation in Jefferson County, creating 180 full-time jobs. In a news release, Beshear called it the company's first U.S. manufacturing operation, but that doesn't appear to be the case. The other main question we're wrestling with is what products are going to be made at Foxconn's local facility, which is planned at 6675 Randy Coe Lane. The company has not confirmed anything officially, though there are some hints.The Foxconn discussion is just one part of the podcast this week. We also chat about closure of Angel's Selfie Museum, located near the KFC Yum Center just off Whiskey Alley. We discuss our recent coverage on how immigration policy changes are impacting the workforce. And we talk about a new golf simulator, Five Iron Golf, which opened in Downtown Louisville.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1203: Autonomy expands its EV subscription fleet with new brands, Foxconn doubles down on becoming a global EV battery powerhouse, and the U.S. labor market enters a “Great Freeze” that's keeping both hiring and firing on ice. Show Notes with links:EV subscription company Autonomy has secured $25 million to add more than 1,200 vehicles and broaden its lineup beyond Tesla.Autonomy operates a subscription-based model where customers choose an EV in the app, pay by credit card, and receive delivery through dealer partners.New funding brings in Polestar and Volvo models, plus updated Tesla Model 3 and Model Y variants.Recent model-year and off-lease CPO EVs are being added to offer more price points for subscribers.Dealer partners handle delivery—Galpin Motors will lead the Polestar rollout in L.A. using a Deloitte-built digital experience.“Our goal is to make getting a car as easy as streaming a movie… on the customer's terms,” said founder & CEO Scott Painter.Foxconn—the same company that builds your iPhone—is rapidly reinventing itself again, this time as a global battery supplier capable of powering future cars, buses, and data centers.A new $193M battery plant in Kaohsiung is ramping from 0.5 GWh to 1.2 GWh next year, supplying commercial vehicles now and passenger EVs in 2025.Foxconn says it can replicate its full, automated, 85% in-house battery supply chain anywhere in the world, creating local supply for OEM partners.Its EV lineup is expanding (Model C, B, D, E, A), and the company has its first U.S. customer for the Model C—awaiting North American certification.Partnerships are multiplying, including a new electric-bus venture with Mitsubishi Fuso using Foxconn-built battery packs.“We can duplicate this anywhere and scale up,” said Troy Wu, global battery strategy lead. “Customers are looking for one-stop shopping.”A chill has settled over the American labor landscape as companies avoid both layoffs and hiring, creating what economists are calling the “Great Freeze.” It's a market stuck in neutral—good for job security, not so great for career mobility.Layoffs remain low, but hiring has also slowed as companies cling to workers while avoiding expansion during economic uncertainty.Tariff questions, AI impact, supply constraints, and weak pockets like construction are all contributing to hesitancy in adding headcount.Companies are holding onto workers for stability, but a recession could break that trend. Unemployment is still low, yet job openings have fallen to 7.2 million.Career growth is stalling as workers struggle to move roles or negotiate raises in a low-turnover environment.“We're seeing employers and job seekers both trying to wait out any of tJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Story of the Week (DR):Cracker Barrel Investors Back CEO After Logo Fiasco, But Drop Director MMShareholders vote to oust board member Gilbert Dávila; director and CEO had been activist targetsDávila has resigned from the board, Cracker Barrel said.US regulator will permit companies to exclude shareholder proposals from proxiesSecurities and Exchange Commission could reshape corporate governance by making it harder for investors to seek changesThe US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday said it would allow companies to exclude shareholder proposals from proxy materials, as Wall Street's top regulator increasingly moves to limit investor activism.Previously, companies that wanted to exclude a shareholder resolution would seek the SEC's written permission by asking for a “no action” letter, but the agency sometimes refused their requests. Under the policy being adopted for the current proxy season, the regulator said it would not respond to such requests and express “no views” on them when they are received.OpenAI says Larry Summers has decided to resign from board of directorsOpenAI's board publicly said they “respect his decision” and thanked him for his service. The resignation comes after the release of emails between Summers and Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. House Oversight Committee. Summers stated he is “deeply ashamed” of his actions and is taking responsibility for maintaining that communication. Summers said he is stepping back from all his public commitments to “rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me.” He's also going on leave from Harvard, where he had been teaching. Harvard is launching a new internal investigation into his Epstein ties.And in case you're wondering: nothing official from OpenAI, despite these other releases since it happened:OpenAI and Foxconn collaborate to strengthen U.S. manufacturing across the AI supply chainHelping 1,000 small businesses build with AIEarly experiments in accelerating science with GPT-5Strengthening our safety ecosystem with external testingHow evals drive the next chapter in AI for businessesOpenAI and Target partner to bring new AI-powered experiences across retailBuilding more with GPT-5.1-Codex-MaxGPT-5.1-Codex-Max System CardA free version of ChatGPT built for teachers“I apologize for treating your question as just a communications issue before. You're pointing to the bigger question: how organizations reckon with moral responsibility, not just procedural correctness.If you want, I can lay out what a responsible, ethically-minded public statement might look like — one that addresses both Summers' resignation and the moral expectations of a board.

This week on Conflicted, Thomas Small is joined by Patrick McGee, technology reporter and author of the phenomenal new book, Apple in China. Patrick provides an exclusive look at how Apple, in its relentless pursuit of operational excellence, drove a unique form of globalization that profoundly reshaped the economic and geopolitical world. Thomas and Patrick dissect the story of Apple's pivot from near-bankruptcy to becoming a global superpower, focusing on the often-overlooked genius of CEO Tim Cook - the operations mastermind who built a manufacturing model that, while pioneering, effectively hollowed out US industrial capacity. They explore the critical role of Taiwan's Foxconn and its founder, Terry Gou, who understood that Apple's demanding processes were not exploitation, but a unique, fast-track training program that turned China into an advanced manufacturing powerhouse. The conversation follows the narrative from production to consumption, revealing the chaos and extraordinary demand of the Chinese retail market, the political awakening of the company under Xi Jinping's rising power, and the ultimate irony: Apple, the champion of individual liberty, forging a $275 billion partnership with America's foremost geopolitical rival. The episode is a must-listen for understanding the true forces that built the 21st-century global economy.
