cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2025-11-19 23:06:50

Alphabet shares rose 9.14% on Wednesday as investors viewed the result of Google's antitrust case as broadly favorable to the tech giant.

Elon Musk's Tesla has revealed its new "master plan" — and it's so chock-full of meaningless corporate buzzwords, we can't help but suspect that it was generated by an AI chatbot. The so-called "Master Plan Part IV" follows up on Musk's preceding "master plan" installment, which underwhelmed investors back in early 2023 with a vague promise to greatly streamline manufacturing, the consequent release of a cheaper EV, and in-house lithium refinement for batteries.

FirstClub bucks India’s speed obsession, quickly triples valuation to $120M with premium approach

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-11-19 23:21:08

Yet just three months after launching its app, the 8-month-old startup has tripled its valuation. At a post-money valuation of $120 million, the Bengaluru-based startup has raised $23 million in a Series A round (comprising more than 90% equity and the rest in debt) co-led by returning investors Accel and RTP Global.

Population dynamics, for instance, may describe hundreds or thousands of different species, each of whose time-varying populations define a separate axis in a high-dimensional space.
