It’s not every actor that can say they made their big-screen debut in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, playing one of the Joker’s freaky henchmen, but David Dastmalchian is not every actor. He’s been appearing in movies and TV for years, though his big leading-man breakout came fairly recently, in 2023’s Late Night With the Devil. With that, he went from being “that guy” to a face with a name everyone recognizes. Along the way he’s done some interesting side gigs, including writing comics a

First, some exciting news that’s relevant as context: starting in November, I’ll be joining Mapbox in their Washington, DC office. One thing that made me excited about joining Mapbox was how much I enjoyed their interview process. No part of it felt like it required extra “preparation” and it was clear that some significant thought had been put into its design. In my opinion, this is a pretty useful signal about an engineering organization. If we accept that finding great engineers (by whatever

In Brief Delaware’s attorney general is hiring an investment bank to advise on OpenAI’s for-profit conversion, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. The independent evaluation could prolong the transition, or gum up OpenAI’s plans even further. OpenAI’s conversion will help it attract new investment and eventually go public, but first, the startup needs to secure approvals from state regulators. Although OpenAI and Microsoft have hired their own investment banks to advise on the deal,

Thomas Klitgaard The obvious answer to the question of why the United States runs a trade deficit is that its export sales have not kept up with its demand for imports. A less obvious answer is that the imbalance reflects a macroeconomic phenomenon. Using national accounting, one can show deficits are also due to a persistent shortfall in domestic saving that requires funds from abroad to finance domestic investment spending.
