To weather a simultaneous income cut and spending spike, people need about six weeks of take-home income, according to J.P. Morgan Chase Institute. This system means that El never knows what his income actually is until six months after a sale. Here’s how to smooth out the jagged edges of an up-and-down income. He recommends taking a hard look at invisible spending, which he compares to getting rid of things you don

Virgin Galactic has rocketed nearly 200% higher this year, outpacing even Tesla’s 105% rally for the honor of hottest stock on the market. “The stock price is just moving at a hypersonic pace,” Mark Tepper, president of Strategic Wealth Partners, said on CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Tuesday. “I see a stock that’s trading in hype similar to Tesla, but without the revenues to back it up and then the stock goes up and shorts are getting crushed and that takes the price up even higher,” said Tepper.

For tech companies, the law represents the internet’s founding values of openness and free expression, while also allowing them to remove the most insidious speech without stumbling into a legal minefield. The law allows for companies to engage in “good Samaritan” moderation of “objectionable” material without being treated like a publisher or speaker under the law.

Huawei, the largest privately held company in China, has repeatedly said it would never help the Chinese government to spy. “There’s no

The judge’s ruling in favor of the Department of Justice in the T-Mobile-Sprint merger case last week reinforced a high bar for state antitrust challenges, according to DOJ antitrust chief Makan Delrahim. But Delrahim said there’s still an important role for the states to play in antitrust cases. The federal Antitrust Division and state attorneys general have both opened investigations into Google to probe its competitive practices. Several state attorneys general have met with top DOJ officials

Barr convened the workshop to discuss Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which says tech companies cannot be held legally liable for content posted by third-party users. Tech executives argue that the law is still integral to their work, especially in allowing for “good faith” content moderation.

Since August 2016, we have been using a Model X SUV in a four-person, single-vehicle household.
