President Donald Trump’s obsession with acquiring Greenland is ongoing, despite aggressive disinterest on the part of the territory’s inhabitants, or those of its parent country, Denmark. Indeed, the White House is reportedly considering some pretty creative tactics to sell Greenlanders on the deal, including paying them a regular annual stipend—on the U.S. taxpayer’s dime. The New York Times reported last week that the White House has a plan that sounds strikingly similar to a universal basic

Shenzhen is China’s leading high-tech hub. The once obscure fishing village became a pillar of the global economy thanks to its proximity to Hong Kong and to being designated a Special Economic Zone in the earliest days of Deng’s reforms, plus some other smart choices and good luck. Part and parcel of that economic transformation is that the city has physically transformed from looking like a poor fishing village to looking like a major 21st-century city.

A year or two ago, OpenAI was on top of the world. Now... well, it's still probably still the world's buzziest AI startup, but its new models aren't making the splash they once were, its business model is as hazy as ever, and competition is rapidly catching up. What does a $300 billion tech company do in that situation? Double down on innovation and development — or blame a scary foreign bogeyman? Lately, it's sounding like the latter. In a recently published white paper, OpenAI called for US

A billionaire-backed push to develop libertarian enclaves in Central America is being imported back to the United States, where its proponents want to lay the groundwork for their own privately run, corporately governed cities. A new lobbying group, dubbed the Freedom Cities Coalition, wants to convince President Trump and Congress to authorize the creation of new special development zones within the U.S. These zones would allow wealthy investors to write their own laws and set up their own gov
