Spotify (SPOT) 股價上漲，華爾街看好公司前景，尤其對其美國高級訂閱計劃的新一輪價格調整感到讚賞。自年初以來，股價上漲約70%。此次7月份開始調整的價格上調範圍為1至3美元不等，這是去年夏天實施的某些計劃的進一步調整。分析師表示，這一航動可能意味著其他音樂串流服務商也會跟進，這讓消費者騷擾。摩根士丹利的分析師本傑明·斯温伯恩在本周早些時候發表的一份報告中寫道：“鑒於Spotify這些漲幅（9%至18%）的規模和頻率（不到一年內第二次調整），我們認為其他[音樂串流服務商]應該效仿。”

Dimensional Fund Advisors suggest that retirement savers can achieve better outcomes by focusing on size, value, and profitability premiums in their portfolios, rather than solely relying on broad market index funds. Research shows that a portfolio emphasizing these premiums could potentially leave an investor with at least 20% more money by age 65, even with lower-than-average market returns. This strategy, as tested by DFA, resulted in higher median assets and lower failure rates compared to traditional broad market portfolios, offering a potentially more lucrative approach to retirement planning.

Days after reports of a possible deal between Shari Redstone and David Ellison's Skydance, Redstone is contemplating a complex deal that could relinquish her control of the entertainment empire created by her late father. Tensions have risen as Warner Bros. Discovery's David Zaslav expresses interest in acquiring CBS and Paramount Global's TV stations, potentially adding a new dimension to the negotiation. Sources suggest that Redstone's frustration with Ellison may stem from various reasons, including concerns about indemnification, promises made during the negotiation process, and the offer price adjustment. The uncertain future of Skydance's animation unit and the possibility of asset selling or streaming partnership with NBCUniversal add further intricacy to the situation.

According to The Information, Chinese companies such as ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent are using cloud services from Oracle to rent NVIDIA H100 GPU computing power in the U.S., bypassing strict U.S. export controls, to train their AI models. Although the U.S. Commerce Department had plans to regulate identity verification for cloud computing providers to restrict risky entities like China from using resources for training AI models, opposition from various stakeholders has stalled the progress of relevant legislation, allowing ByteDance to train its AI models smoothly through renting computing power over the internet. Other Chinese companies, including Alibaba and Tencent, also seem to adopt similar methods. However, not all cloud service providers are willing to offer virtual computing power to Chinese clients via the internet, possibly to avoid future U.S. government investigations or controversies. If more Chinese companies continue to bypass U.S. restrictions by acquiring computing power through virtualization over the internet for training AI models, the U.S. government may take corresponding actions in the future.

During Microsoft's Build 2024 event on June 9th, Microsoft announced the launch of a feature called 'Recall' that allows users to use artificial intelligence to backtrack the content viewed on Windows 11 operating systems. This feature is initially limited to devices designed with 'Copilot+ PC,' such as those equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processors. Developers have enabled older Windows PCs with Arm architecture to use the 'Recall' feature through a Windows application named 'Amperage' on Github, making it accessible to devices using Snapdragon 8cx, Snapdragon 7c, Microsoft SQ, or Ampere processors. Users must be running Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.712 to utilize the 'Recall' feature effectively. Future expansions are anticipated with the release of new Intel and AMD processors. The 'Recall' feature resembles Microsoft's earlier Timeline function, recognizing text, images, and video content viewed by users through multimodal natural language models on devices and employing AI technology to locate the content quickly when revisited. Microsoft emphasizes that all 'Recall' data is stored solely on the user's device, without additional cloud sending for collaborative computation, assuring no privacy breach issues (though the UK government appears somewhat concerned).

The NFL’s ongoing problem with officiating has been attributed to the league's reluctance to invest in officials, with former V.P. of officiating Dean Blandino highlighting the issue of undervaluing the position. This stems from the league's unwillingness to pay officials adequately, leading to low morale and scrutiny during the season. The root cause is identified as the league's greed, as they prioritize saving money over improving officiating quality, even as fans increasingly suspect foul play due to questionable calls. Until the NFL invests in creating a transparent and trusted officiating environment, controversies will persist despite their immense revenues and advancements in technology.

During the annual tuna season in Pingtung, many visitors enjoy various slices of raw fish and sushi; often noticed are the 'green plastic leaves' used by restaurants to separate different types of fish. These leaves, known as 'Yamagata leaves,' serve three purposes: decoration, enhancing the food's color, and preventing flavors from blending. While some Japanese cuisine may use real perilla leaves, the plastic versions are more commonly used for cost-saving reasons and are not edible. These leaves are frequently utilized in Japanese cuisine for plating and separating different ingredients, providing both aesthetic and flavor-maintaining benefits.
