Nvidia’s stock is showing signs of life ahead of earnings next week. The move is justified and should have more room to go. Shares of Nvidia on Monday closed around $225 a share for the second session in a row — a closing level that previously hadn’t been since mid-May. It’s a sign that market sentiment toward the leading AI chipmaker has warmed following a chilly reception for much of this year. Among the reasons for the change: Nvidia’s increased financial support for key customers is looking less risky than initially feared, and a new financing initiative should make funding the…
It is also worth scouting for the eclipse ahead of time. A friend and I settled on a rural location in Duratón, Spain, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) north of Madrid. Watching from there would give us a little more than 1.5 minutes of totality with a bucolic landscape anchored by a Romanesque church dating to the 12th or 13th century. We traveled there exactly 24 hours before the eclipse to get an idea of what to expect. The old Catholic church in Duratón had ample parking and was far enough from sizable towns to escape the largest crowds. But…

From rocket engines to steel skids The 1872 cofounders, including Summers, Brian Mongilio, and Michael Grant, all bring relevant experience from having formerly worked for SpaceX. Summers oversaw the engineering team responsible for integrating and fabricating the Raptor engines that power the Super Heavy booster rocket for SpaceX’s Starship launch system. The Raptor team’s use of “intelligent software” for tracking and managing the physical manufacturing of Raptor hardware became the “secret sauce” for implementing changes rapidly and precisely, according to Summers. “We had software engineers that were working with our hardware engineers to not only develop the engine but to…
CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Monday the AI boom has rewritten the rules for memory stocks and their massive rallies may not be over.”While I acknowledge that I am not early, I do not think I am late,” the “Mad Money” host said.Memory stocks have been among the biggest beneficiaries of the AI trade this year. Cramer noted that Sandisk has surged 653% this year, Seagate has jumped 261%, Micron has gained 254% and Western Digital has climbed 211%. Those gains would normally make Cramer wary, particularly given the industry’s history. Memory manufacturers have repeatedly responded to booming demand by aggressively…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday released data on the vaccination rates of US kindergarteners in the 2025–2026 school year, revealing that rates have once again decreased from the previous school year. Vaccination rates have been slipping since the 2019–2020 school year, when the US had obtained rates of around 95 percent, the threshold needed to keep outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases from spreading in communities. The latest data shows the US is moving further away from that target. Nationally, only 92.4 percent of kindergartners were vaccinated with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine in the 2025–2026…

Verizon claimed the privacy rules in Section 222 of the Communications Act cover only call-location data, and not device-location data. The 2nd Circuit disagreed, pointing to the law’s text stating that Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) includes data that is related to the location of a telecommunications service, and which is made available to the carrier “solely by virtue of the carrier-customer relationship.” “It thus qualifies as customer proprietary network information and triggers the privacy protections set forth in § 222 of the Communications Act,” the ruling said. The 2nd Circuit ruling described how Verizon sold location data to two…
