The strategic move here is targeting data centres, businesses, and governments—a different market entirely from Starlink's consumer focus. First launches planned for late 2027. Bezos is now competing with himself. Amazon's Leo (roughly 180 satellites up, 3,000+ planned) chases the same consumer market as Starlink. TeraWave goes for enterprise instead.

The app stays live in the US under a new entity majority-owned by American investors, with Oracle handling data security and the recommendation algorithm. ByteDance keeps a 19.9% stake: enough to stay involved, not enough to control. For the 200 million Americans using the app, nothing changes day-to-day. The shift is structural—user data now sits under American oversight.

The once-dominant social news site (which famously imploded in 2010 after a disastrous redesign) is having another go, this time positioning itself as a community-focused alternative to Reddit.

It's Still There.](https://newsletter.dvy.io/visit/7Bkmakom) [— In 1965, a CIA-backed team of American and Indian climbers hauled a plutonium-powered generator up Nanda Devi (one of the Himalayas' highest peaks) to spy on China's nuclear programme. The SNAP-19C, a 50-pound, beach-ball-sized device containing nearly a third of the plutonium used in the Nagasaki bomb, was meant to eavesdrop on Chinese missile tests from the roof of the world. Then a blizzard hit. The Indian team leader made a call: abandon the equipment, save the lives. The nuclear device was stashed on an ice ledge just below the summit. It's never been found. Sixty years later, the U.S. still won't talk about it. And somewhere on that mountain, a radioactive generator sits buried under decades of snow and ice.](https://newsletter.dvy.io/visit/7Bkmakom) When do you do your best deep work?

That tiny delay—barely perceptible to humans—revealed the laptop was being remotely controlled from North Korea. The discovery came from monitoring software flagging the lag on a sysadmin's machine. Normal US-based remote workers show keystroke latency in the tens of milliseconds. This one didn't. [Night owls are more intelligent than early risers](https://newsletter.dvy.io/visit/KYVTD3UH) [Night owls are more intelligent than early risers](https://newsletter.dvy.io/visit/KYVTD3UH) Research published in Personality and Individual Differences argues that night owls might actually be smarter than early risers. The logic: humans evolved to be active during daylight, so staying up late is a relatively novel behaviour. According to the Savanna–IQ Interaction Hypothesis, more intelligent people are more likely to adopt preferences that break from ancestral norms. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health backs this up—smarter individuals do tend toward nocturnal habits. As a night owl, I approve this message.
