Car companies do this with their prototypes... Etc. The new tech companies have exploited the R&D credit by just doing continuous development.

The old tech companies, I spent 23 years at IBM, used to have dual development teams, when the new product was sold to companies it was production and the other team were already working on the next product in research and development until it shipped

Well if their Muse app and data center services never reach production status, that makes it research and development.

Tbf tech companies have research tax classification for decades to cover expense costs like salaries. It's only because they are spending so much on data centers this stands out.

Americans hate ai because we’re spending trillions to create almost no jobs just because billionaires want to cash in on a technology they can’t control and which could end us.

The lack of pushback is really concerning, I heard an advert prior to a Marketplace episode "anyone can build any enterprise app... " But then it said "then comes compliance and you don't know what to say" then you didn't have an enterprise app to start with...

It’s really great that Eric Schmitt wasted everyone’s time because he can’t tell the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes, meanwhile people in Missouri are struggling to pay for utilities, gas, groceries, housing, and child care.

Feel free to ask him about his position on Front Range rail - it's far from perfect but realistically is our last best chance to get passenger rail for Colorado. He needs to step-up and make it it work, not just do the politics thing of casting aspersions about it and sitting on the fence.

Not mentioned here is the Russia connection. I went on Honeymoon to Malta in 1981 there was no Russian presence to speak of. Now they are everywhere. Malta does golden passports for money so you can become a citizen - same as Trump is doing... Cc: @cprnews.bsky.social

When tech companies used to do this, they'd exploit loopholes by licensing assets from the tax haven company, ie patents, logos etc. This is a straight out tax money laundering authorized by Trump - billions of usd$ just leaking out through Malta and back as profit. www.cpr.org/2026/09/29/c...

Think twice about installing Meta's Muse app on your system. Once you've done that, think twice more and don't. There is absolutely no evidence they are trustworthy. In 2016 Meta, aka Facebook leaked enough data to help Russia elect Donald Trump. It wasn't a secret or a bug but by design. We knew!

A truck driver’s footage from Russia’s overland corridor to occupied Crimea gives a remarkable sense of the scale of Ukrainian drone strikes. I counted 40 destroyed vehicles in this single video cars: 37 trucks, two fuel tankers and an armoured KamAZ truck belonging to a Russian mobile fire group.

I'm impressed you have a level of trust to give this to an AI agent, let alone Meta's agent. So, it now has complete access to your gmail - did you trace what data flowed to Meta? Until these agents can have a separate app ID/password and you can limit what they do, this just isn't for me.
