After spending an entire week down for the count with a brutal LP.8.1 (the kind where even Netflix feels exhausting), I’m thrilled to finally be back in your inbox, vertical and caffeinated.

Inside North Korea’s Secret IT Army

May 2, 2025 Daily Edition: A Quiet Revolution View on the web → Happy Friday, sharp thinkers! Like always, I woke up at 4 AM to make sure you have today's best stories fresh from our world. In the quiet pre-dawn, I thought two things: First, Toyota and Waymo are partnering, so I could soon nap safely behind the wheel—and that's a big deal. Second, letting decades-old desegregation orders expire feels like a sneaky reboot. Regarding North Korea taking your job... nothing surprises me at this...
