nothing really to gain from this article, just very interesting, and i had no idea that there were even mentions let alone prototypes of solar energy like this as early as the 1880s. also hilarious that at the time, they said it wouldn't be commercially viable for some of the same challenges we face today: energy storage.

I’ve always thought of the König bookshop as a sort of paradise.”

We write to speculate on the potential for a comeback. Grant’s, don’t mistake us, is bearish on bonds for the long run. If past is prologue, and if there’s anything at all to the fine art of pattern recognition, a new cycle of irregularly rising rates could be upon us, and it might persist for decades, like the 3.5

I have a gut sense that a Paramount Global overseen by Sumner Redstone , instead of his daughter, Shari , would have reached a different conclusion. After all, what is now known as Paramount Global was built on Sumner’s litigation risk-reward calculus.
