Line-Yahoo Japan operator values Kakaku.com at $4bn in challenge to EQT
Non-binding offer with Bain Capital tops Swedish firm's bid but Tabelog operator backs EQT

I wonder how much slop the AIs would have if TED Talks had never existed.

Arriving from Europe at Newark was fast and efficient. 20 minutes from landing, immigration, to getting both carry on bags and going out the door. Such a contrast with Frankfurt which is an unmitigated disaster. How times have changed.

RFK jr shut down Indian Point, which—at 2GW of power—supplied 80% of NYC's clean energy (that's why there is so much more pollution in the area now).
