Stripe enlists a who’s who, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Paradigm, to build a new blockchain

It's the first purchase I make for any new kitchen, and I push everyone I know to install one immediately. I'm a culinary-school trained nonchef, but even chef chefs recommend this storage tool: "I first tried a magnetic strip in my home kitchen a few years ago and I'm hooked," says Melissa Araujo,
