Democrats Seize on Trump's 'You're Rich as Hell' Remarks to Donors
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=76897&nl=daily]
Buddy, pointedly declaring that he is “not rich as hell,” quickly
establishes himself as a working- or middle-class American. The spot
cuts between images of him — sitting in a wood-paneled living room,
filling up a car at a gas station — and of fancily dressed people
including Mr. Trump and his ally Elon Musk, the world’s richest man,
who are separately hobnobbing in tuxedos.

Malcolm Gladwells New Take on Tipping Points - Harvard Business Review
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=76897&nl=daily]
There was a time when business leaders and managers didnt worry so
much about psychology or other social science research. Malcolm
Gladwells writing played a big role in changing that. His popular

sibling, which comes without an integrated Intel Xe GPU, the 265K

called AI PCs, Arrow Lake H's low NPU performance doesn't meet the bar
for Microsoft's Copilot+ badge (those require at least 40 TOPS NPUs).
You'll be able to run basic AI features, like Windows Studio Effects
