Could this open Cantor Fitzgerald up to class action law suits from consumers who ultimately paid the refunded tariffs?

I would say in this case it makes it enigmatic.

Tailwind Plus is great - I love the lifetime access, but I always wondered how sustainable that model was. Even without AI, how many of those memberships could they sell?

I've been using Claude Code in their iOS app (on a Pro account). I just point it at my GitHub repo, and tell it to work on one of the issues I created. It required very little setu…

Watterson serves as one of the symbols of an era when selling out was considered a great sin. It makes me laugh how thoroughly that idea - that selling out is bad - has been defeat…

Just came across this, which I enjoyed: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/wes-anderson-difficulty-working...

A Wonder just opened near my house, and the "different restaurants" seem to really be just different sections of a large menu with distinct branding. I.e., there is a single physic…
