Anthropic acquired Seattle startup Vercept on Wednesday, raising familiar questions about the impact of early exits on the broader Seattle startup ecosystem, and the question of whether AI startups can compete long-term against the giants of the field. We dig into the deal, the public feud between two of the company's early investors on LinkedIn, and why one co-founder's prior departure to Meta may have been worth more than the entire acquisition. Plus, a new research paper envisions a 2028 "global intelligence crisis" driven by AI-fueled white collar job losses, and we're already seeing early signs in the news. Then, the New York Times reported this week that Jeffrey Epstein built deeper connections inside Microsoft than any other major tech company. We break down the key revelations, including what we found when we searched the Epstein files for "GeekWire." WSJ: Bill Gates Apologizes to Foundation Staff Over Epstein Ties And stick around for GeekWire Trivia: With Xbox entering a new era under Asha Sharma, we look back at the celebrity who appeared on stage for the original Xbox unveiling 25 years ago. With GeekWire co-founders Todd Bishop and John Cook. Edited by Curt Milton.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the Jaunty Mantis Mothership RPG Actual Play series! This is Part 2 and the chilling conclusion. Mothership is a sci-fi horror tabletop roleplaying game focused on survival, panic, and cosmic dread. Previously, the crew boarded a long-lost colony ship that vanished three centuries ago with 1,000 souls in cryosleep. Fired from a massive railgun and tasked with offering a corporate “resettlement package” to any survivors, the team quickly realized that this derelict ark holds more questions than answers. Strange behavior. Failing systems. Missing time. And when one crew member disappears without explanation, paranoia has begun to set in.

Trump's latest State of the Union was packed with headlines. Most people heard the headlines and moved on. But operators paid attention.Buried inside Trump's latest State of the Union were policy shifts that could directly impact your costs, pricing, margins, and platform fees.If you import products, rely on Amazon, Shopify, or SaaS tools, or operate on tight margins, this matters.In this episode of the High Voltage Business Builders Podcast, Neil breaks down what the latest tariff changes, inflation signals, and AI infrastructure policies actually mean for ecommerce operators and how to translate headlines into decisions instead of reacting to them.

The insured lives in a single-family home in Austin, Texas. While hanging a shelf on the wall in one of the bathrooms, the owner drilled right through the metal stud, directly into a plumbing pipe, causing water damage to the wall and to the carpeting on the floor. (Yes, you heard that correctly, carpeting…in the bathroom!) Should there have been some type of pipe protection near the stud? And, does code even allow carpeting in a bathroom?   Notable Timestamps [ 00:08 ] - The scenario involves a homeowner drilling into a metal stud and puncturing a plumbing pipe, causing water damage to the wall and bathroom carpet. [ 01:15 ] - The hosts discuss home "deal breakers" and vintage advertisements. [ 05:39 ] - PLRB's Building Code Address Report confirms Austin enforces the 2021 IRC and 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). [ 06:09 ] - Under the 2021 UPC, pipes within one inch of a metal stud must be protected by at least 18-gauge steel nail plates extending beyond the pipe's diameter to prevent drill punctures. [ 09:28 ] - The IRC clarifies that permits are not required for finish work such as carpeting. [ 09:56 ] - Code limits absorbent materials only at the actual tub or shower floor surface. In other words, carpet elsewhere in the bathroom is only prohibited by common sense and not by model building codes. [ 11:25 ] - While model codes allow bathroom carpeting, local ordinances may impose stricter sanitary rules, so adjusters should always verify municipal amendments before reaching conclusions. [ 13:52 ] - Ruth summarizes the key points of this episode.

In this episode, Tracy explains why forgiveness isn't passive, instant, or pretending the hurt didn't happen—it's an active, ongoing choice that makes healing and growth possible in your marriage. She unpacks what forgiveness is (and isn't), shows what it can look like in real-life scenarios, and challenges both spouses to not only give forgiveness but ask for it with humility.--The PursueGOD Family podcast helps you think biblically about marriage and parenting.

Expectations will be missed. Words will be spoken in frustration. Sometimes there will even be deep betrayal. The question isn't if you'll need forgiveness in your marriage — it's whether you'll choose it.Forgiveness is not passive. It's not pretending the hurt didn't happen. And it's not a “magic eraser” that wipes away pain overnight. Biblical forgiveness is an active, ongoing choice. It's the decision to release the offense so that healing and growth can begin.When Peter asked Jesus how many times he should forgive someone, Jesus answered, “seventy times seven.” Matthew 18:21-22. That wasn't a literal number — it was a posture. Forgiveness is meant to characterize the heart of a follower of Christ.What Forgiveness Is1. Forgiveness Is a ChoiceForgiveness doesn't always feel natural. It's a deliberate decision not to replay the offense over and over or use it as ammunition in the next argument. It's choosing not to hold your spouse hostage to their failure.2. Forgiveness Is a GiftYou're giving your spouse space to grow. You're saying, “You hurt me, but I'm willing to move forward instead of weaponizing this against you.” It creates room for rebuilding.3. Forgiveness Is Active and OngoingSome wounds are deep. If there has been infidelity, addiction, or repeated betrayal, forgiveness may not be a one-time event. It may be something you choose daily — even moment by moment — as painful memories resurface.4. Forgiveness Means Giving Up VengeanceHolding onto bitterness may feel justified, but it poisons your heart. Hebrews 12:15 warns about the “poisonous root of bitterness.” Revenge does not create healing soil for reconciliation.What Forgiveness Is NotForgiveness does not mean forgetting. It does not minimize the offense. And it does not automatically restore trust.Trust and forgiveness are not the same thing. Forgiveness is a proactive gift. Trust is rebuilt over time through consistent behavior. If your spouse betrayed you, forgiveness opens the door for healing — but trust must be earned.God's Model for MarriageAs followers of Jesus, our ultimate model is God Himself.Ephesians 4:32 tells us to be “kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”Psalm 103:10-12 reminds us that God does not treat us as our sins deserve. He removes our sins “as far from us as the east is from the west.”Romans 5:8 declares that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.When we remember how much we've been forgiven, it softens our hearts toward our spouse. We've offended a holy God far more than our spouse has offended us — yet He forgives with compassion.What Forgiveness Looks Like in Real LifeScenario 1: Missed ExpectationsMaybe your spouse is chronically late. They forget anniversaries. They don't plan date nights. Forgiveness here might look like clearly communicating your expectations instead of silently building resentment. It might mean maintaining a posture that wants your spouse to succeed — not secretly hoping they fail so you can feel justified.It also means refusing to live in “negative sentiment override,” constantly focusing on their flaws. Instead, choose to remember the qualities you love about them and invite trusted mentors or counselors to help you grow.Scenario 2: Betrayal (Pornography Relapse or Infidelity)This is heavier. Forgiveness in this case does not mean ignoring the betrayal. It means honest confrontation, outside help, accountability structures, and clear expectations.Forgiveness says, “I'm willing to give you space to rebuild trust.” It does not eliminate consequences, but it removes vengeance from the equation so healing can begin.Many couples have rebuilt after devastating betrayal — but it only happened because the offended spouse was willing to extend forgiveness, and the offending spouse was willing to earn trust.When You Need to Ask for ForgivenessForgiveness isn't only about giving it. Sometimes you need to ask for it.That requires humility. It means taking responsibility without shifting blame. It means saying clearly what you did wrong and asking for forgiveness.Healthy marriages are built when both spouses know how to forgive and how to repent.The Better Way ForwardBitterness is like gasoline on a fire. Forgiveness is the extinguisher. One destroys; the other creates space for rebuilding.If you want a healthy marriage, forgiveness cannot be optional. Pray for a softened heart. Meditate on how God has forgiven you. Choose forgiveness — again and again.It's not easy. But it is freeing. And it is God-honoring.

A Supreme Court decision wipes out a major tariff mechanism, GDP comes in softer than expected, and AI fears collide with an AI spending boom. On the surface, it feels like three separate stories. In Episode 176 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, connect the dots and ask a bigger question: what actually changed, and what simply made headlines?They break down the Court's ruling on IEEPA tariffs, what it means for policy going into a midterm year, and why markets barely flinched. From there, the conversation shifts to fourth-quarter GDP, where a weak headline number masked far stronger private demand beneath the surface. The episode then moves into the AI debate, examining the surge in hardware and software investment, the role of energy and power demand, and the viral “AI crash” scenario that sparked fears of a white-collar doom loop. Along the way, they explore global market leadership, sector dispersion, and why human behavior still sits at the center of economic outcomes even in a world shaped by algorithms.Key Takeaways:• Tariff authority reset: The Supreme Court's ruling removed a major executive tariff tool, reinforcing checks and balances while reducing policy uncertainty• GDP weakness needs context: A government shutdown distorted headline growth, while private demand remained solid• AI spending is real: Hardware and software investment tied to AI contributed meaningfully to 2025 growth• Scenario vs. reality: Extreme AI displacement models raise important questions, but macro consistency and demand dynamics matter• Market dispersion is widening: Software weakness, industrial strength, and global outperformance highlight a split beneath the surfaceJump to:0:00 — Tariff Shock And Supreme Court Ruling5:30 — Market Reaction, Odds And Policy Limits9:40 — Tariff Refunds And Who Ultimately Paid13:50 — China, Trade Winners And Political Timelines22:00 — GDP Miss Explained And Core Demand Strength31:00 — AI Capex Surge: Chips, Software And Scale35:00 — Power Demand, Energy And Inflation Pressures38:30 — The AI Doom Loop Scenario Debate47:40 — Market Split: Semis, Software And Global Leaders55:00 — Portfolio Implications And The Human EdgeConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

But for a show that holds content on the highest pedestal possible, this can only be seen as a good thing.Not only has Elis got a damaged car, but he also has a damaged connection rate in the Cymru Connection. Can youth-based listener Holly be the ticket Elis needs to do a three-point turn and drive straight up Success Alley?Elsewhere there's an abundance of fun as both Benjamin Partridge and Lou Sanders give their two cents on hot air balloons and the glowing-up of Elis James respectively, John does some winning and losing, and a trip to the sound proof booth causes Elis to do some very strange things…Keep watering the soil of content by sending in your fantastic correspondence to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk.

Episode Info On the back of getting some less-than-great sales outreach on LinkedIn, I thought it would be a great moment to share some more sales advice for startup founders and service or solution providers out there looking to sell into or partner with insurers.

For this holiday week, we'd like to prepare you for the upcoming PLRB Claims Conference, so we're sharing a classic episode featuring some highlights on what to expect. You might notice some details specific to the original date of taping, but we've lightly edited it to keep it relevant. We're looking forward to seeing you at the conference!    Let's say you're a service provider in the insurance industry. You've been attending PLRB Conferences for a few years, and you're thinking about taking the next step to increase exposure and build relationships with the right people in the industry.    Notable Timestamps [ 01:20 ] - Exhibiting and sponsoring at the PLRB Claims Conference can be an impactful option, and PLRB has a variety of offerings to help each service provider reach their goals. [ 01:50 ] - For our trivia question today, last year at the Claims Conference we had over 3000 attendees, and over 950 of those were insurance company staff. Of those, how many do you think were senior staff? [ 04:05 ] - The Insurance Services Expo includes a wide variety of exhibitors and sponsors, from traditional segments like independent adjusting and forensics to technology services like claims management software and AI solutions to other ancilliary services. [ 05:22 ] - Among other benefits, exhibiting and sponsorship can provide visibility, stature, and credibility as service providers build strong relationships in the industry. [ 06:30 ] - A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available to fit the needs of different service providers, from physical branding to digital signage to booth services. [ 07:50 ] - Service providers take full advantage of the benefits of the conference by attending educational sessions, doing their own entertaining, and making connections in the Expo. [ 08:37 ] - Unique opportunities like Wifi sponsorship and keycard sponsorship provide novel avenues to make connections with attendees. [ 09:15 ] - Return On Investment is a top concern for many service providers, and building relationships over time at the PLRB Claims Conference is often a fruitful experience for those who make the investment. [ 10:28 ] - The 2025 Claims Conference in Indianapolis provided plenty of space for conferencegoers to make connections. [ 11:50 ] - Many new offerings are anticipated, including-- as a show notes sneak peek-- creative services like social media templates and press releases. [ 13:30 ] - Tom provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

Our practice is a relational one, which means sooner or later we're bound to experience some friction between us. Friction is not a failure. It's an edge, an opportunity, and a Dharma gate. What do we do when someone unsettles us? How do we respond when tension lingers in the room? What do we say when something needs to be said, and we're unsure how to say it? This Sunday we continue our exploration of living in sangha by leaning into these edges together. Discussion scenarios: Scenario 1: You are sitting in the zendo at Appamada during a well-attended Sunday service. Before kinhin, Michael,the head student, quietly leans toward Sarah and whispers, “Sit upright. You're collapsing.” There is no physical contact, but several people near you hear it. You see Sarah stiffen. Her breathing changes. After service, she leaves quickly without lingering. Later that week, in a small group you're part of, someone mentions she hasn't returned. Michael says calmly, “We're a Zen center. Posture matters. If we don't uphold the form, what are we doing?” As he speaks, you feel something move in the room. You also notice something in yourself—agreement, discomfort, uncertainty. Scenario 2: You are on a sangha working group tasked with improving communication. You are discussing plans to update the website. Aisha again speaks first, synthesizes the discussion, and proposes next steps. The meeting is efficient. When you begin to share an idea, she reframes it into clearer language and moves the group forward. Everyone nods. Afterward, you notice a heaviness in your body. Maybe irritation. Maybe something subtler—like being unnecessary. You also know Aisha carries a great deal and seems tired. She later mentions she feels responsible for keeping things from drifting. Nothing explicit has occurred. Yet something in you is contracting. Scenario 6: In practice discussion, you share something vulnerable about doubt. The teacher responds, “That is just your ego trying to be special.” You bow and leave. On the walk home you feel both gratitude and a sharpness in your chest. Was it strong medicine, or something misaligned? A few days later, you hesitate before signing up for another meeting. Something in you feels unsettled.

A supervisor leads a team of very needy CAT adjusters! Over the course of the year, the supervisor fields many questions as it comes up in their claims. Was there hail on X date? Was there lightning in the area? This hurricane is coming soon, where can I get news about it? Winter weather caused a slip and fall!! Where can I find information on wildfire perimeters and California evacuations? For help herding all these cats, we'll head to PLRB.org.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - The episode introduces a scenario where a supervisor fields constant weather-related questions from cat adjusters, highlighting the need for a centralized, reliable source for hail, lightning, hurricanes, wildfires, and more. [ 02:15 ] - The team previews multiple scenarios—winter storms, hail, lightning, power outages, tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires—showing the breadth of searchable weather data available to support claim investigations. [ 03:16 ] - Using a winter slip-and-fall in Iowa City, Iowa, the report pulls verified storm data from the National Weather Service, including freezing rain reports and hourly observations to validate conditions on the date of loss. [ 07:42 ] - For hail damage in Illinois, radar-derived data and verified hail reports allow adjusters to map proximity, estimated hail size, and associated severe thunderstorm warnings tied to a specific date and address. [ 09:53 ] - Lightning reports provide daily probability percentages and satellite detection data, helping assess commercial equipment claims while noting limits in resolution and cloud-to-cloud versus cloud-to-ground distinctions. [ 12:25 ] - Power outage searches archive data every ten minutes via PowerOutage.us, identifying outage timing, affected customers, and likely storm causes—critical for business interruption investigations. [ 14:09 ] - A tornado case study of the Mayfield event demonstrates wind reports, damage points, and EF-scale path polygons, enabling precise analysis of storm track and intensity relative to a property. [ 17:31 ] - Wildfire tools include historical perimeters like the Garnett Fire, evacuation zones, thermal hotspots, smoke analysis from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data, and hurricane spaghetti models—underscoring a single portal for comprehensive weather intelligence.

In This Episode: The Internet Archive saves an old car. AI Bird IDs. Claude code. Ringing Lost Dogs. This week the TEH Podcast is hosted by Leo Notenboom, the “Chief Question Answerer” at Ask Leo!, and Gary Rosenzweig, the host and producer of MacMost, and mobile game developer at Clever Media. (You’ll find longer Bios on the Hosts page.) Top Stories 0:00 LN: Internet Archive to the rescue My wife is visiting my sister-in-law, and the parking brake in her 2000 Honda CRV (originally my mother’s car) froze up. The pull-lever i the center wouldn't budge. I got messaged for help. I searched for “2000 honda crv maintenance manual”. The second entry is The Internet Archive's scan of the ~1400 page manual. https://archive.org/details/HondaCRV19972000  I was able to send her images from the manual about how to access and lubricate the pull lever. This isn't the first time IA has popped up randomly to help. It's an amazing resource. 5:45 LN: What bird is  that? Another story of things coming together. My wife takes a photo with her phone (Pixel 4a) of a hawk sitting on a fence in our neighborhood. https://flic.kr/p/2rVhrLG  The photo is auto-uploaded to her Google Photos account. I grab a copy and crop it. Original is 4032×3024, so there are lots of opportunities. Not bad. https://flic.kr/p/2rVjh8d  7:00 I fire up Topaz Gigapixel AI, and, with a little adjustment of settings, upscale the image 4x. I then crop it further to focus more closely on the bird. Also not bad, though there are some tell-tale signs that this was AI upscaled. https://flic.kr/p/2rVisjk  9:15 My wife asks me what kind of hawk that might be. No clue. So I decided to try … ChatGPT. I upload the upscaled image, and ask simply, “What kind of bird is this?” Likely ID: Red-tailed Hawk (juvenile) Based on the bulky buteo shape, overall brown upperparts, the pale “checkerboard” pattern on the wings, and the strongly banded tail (common in young birds before they develop the classic red tail), this looks most consistent with a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk. We do indeed have red-tailed hawks around here. It’s interesting that it ID'd a juvenile. 15:00 Identify birds. https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/  18:00 LN: Claude Code Installed on my PC because it promised to be able to work on local data 20:00 Non-trivial install (at least for Windows – WSL, and then you're running in an Ubuntu bash shell). 21:10 Scenario 1: My Obsidian vault – all plain text (.md) files.

A restaurant experienced a power outage lasting over an hour and a half. Because of the outage, they decided to close for the rest of the evening, claiming lost revenue from missed dinner service. PLRB weather tools will help us explore outage duration, date and time, location, and eventual cause. As we investigate, we'll encounter an efficient proximate cause issue, the electrical currents exclusion, and a fried squirrel.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - The episode sets up a real-world insurance scenario: a restaurant closes after a 90-minute power outage and claims lost revenue, raising questions about cause, duration, and coverage. [ 00:38 ] - Investigating a power outage starts with verifying the exact date, time, duration, location, and cause, all of which are critical inputs for determining whether a claim may be payable. [ 02:29 ] - Using PLRB's power outage report, investigators can search by address and date range, view outages within a one-mile radius, and see results on an interactive map and data table. [ 03:14 ] - Outage data comes from utilities nationwide, gets updated every ten minutes, and covers about 87% of U.S. electric customers. This report helps establish whether an insured location likely lost power. [ 05:04 ] - The report shows outage IDs, UTC timestamps, customer counts, utility names, estimated restoration times, and potentially the confirmed cause, all exportable in a shareable PDF. [ 06:53 ] - Determining the outage cause is essential because many policies distinguish between natural events and artificial causes, which can directly affect coverage decisions. [ 08:19 ] - In this case, investigators found the outage was caused by a squirrel contacting electrical equipment, leading to arcing that damaged a transformer and knocked out power. [ 13:04 ] - The court rejected "but for" causation and made a ruling that did not invalidate the policy exclusion. [ 17:49 ] - Dylan summarized upcoming PLRB Weather/CATs developments.

Today's episode is the second in a three-part series that examines the potential consequences for China if a military operation against Taiwan were to fail. In each of these episodes, we're speaking with authors of a recently published German Marshall Fund study of the possible costs that China would incur across four different, but interrelated areas: the Chinese economy, the military, Chinese social stability, and international costs. Our podcast today focuses on the potential costs for domestic social stability. To recap, the study considered two scenarios occurring in the next five years. In the first scenario, a minor skirmish escalated into a multi-week maritime blockade of Taiwan by China. Although several dozen members of the Chinese and Taiwanese military were killed, US intervention eventually forced China to de-escalate.  In the second scenario, a conflict escalated into a full-fledged invasion, with Chinese strikes on not only Taiwan but also US forces in Japan and Guam. After several months of heavy fighting, Chinese forces were degraded and eventually withdrew after suffering many tens of thousands of casualties. Joining us today are Sheena Chestnut Greitens and Jake Rinaldi. Sheena is an associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin and visiting research faculty at the US Army War College. Jake is an associate political scientist at the RAND Corporation.Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction  [02:11] Why This Matters to US Policymakers [04:37] Managing Social Stability During Conflict with Taiwan  [08:01] How the CCP Identifies and Suppresses Sources of Instability[10:44] Social Stability Organizations and Institutions  [15:06] Domestic Pressures & Potential Party Responses [19:00] Estimating Public Support for Reunification [23:09] Scenario 3: Protracted Conventional Conflict [26:55] Lessons Learned from COVID Lockdowns [31:28] Long-Term Implications for Stability Post-Conflict

In this podcast episode, Karl Eggerss discusses President Trump's surprise nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair, which triggered a sharp market reaction—most notably a spike in the dollar and a steep selloff in precious metals. Karl explains Warsh's background, his reputation as a policy hawk, and why the pick caught markets off guard. Despite some higher one‑day volatility in certain areas, overall market indexes were mostly flat for the week, reinforcing the value of diversification.    Show Topics Fed chair nomination Market reaction overview Precious metals selloff Commodity/inflation divergence Diversification importance
