Robinhood CEO downplays OpenAI concerns on tokenized stock structure

cnbc.com Ryan Browne 2025-08-08 09:25:32

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says it's not "entirely relevant" that the trading platform's so-called tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX aren't technically equity in the companies. It comes after OpenAI raised concerns about the product, which is designed to give users in the European Union exposure to various U.S. stocks — including private companies, which are less liquid than publicly listed firms. OpenAI last week warned that Robinhood's stock tokens do not represent equity in the company an

The chemical secrets that help keep honey fresh for so long

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-06 04:04:41

But honey is an unusual case, and here is why. It's made by honeybees from flower nectar, and starts out as a warmish, watery, sugary fluid, the kind of thing that seems like it would be the purest bacteria bait. The bees concentrate the nectar on the way to the hive, removing some of the water, use enzymes to raise the acid content in the fluid discouraging some forms of microorganisms from growing, and break down the sugars into simpler ones, then decant the stuff into honeycomb chambers.
