Motley Fool Money - Intel: 3rd in a Two-Horse Race

Under Pat Gelsinger, Intel fell behind rivals and was late to the game in AI and its foundry business. Is the outgoing CEO to blame?  

(00:14) Tim Beyers and Dylan Lewis discuss:

- Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger stepping down, why “GPU” is the key focus of his time at the helm of the company. 

- The multi-year planning cycle that goes into chipmaking, and why we may wind up praising Gelsinger’s investment in the foundry business several years from now. 

- How Fastly will have one fewer name to compete with in the content delivery network market, but why it might spell trouble for the business long-term.

(20:30) What’s your data worth? Ricky Mulvey talks with Dave Hatter, a Cybersecurity Consultant at Intrust IT, about the “surveillance capitalism model” and where your digital data winds up.

1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: The Press And The PRESS Act

A bill to protect journalists in their work has long had strong bipartisan support.

The "Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act," or PRESS Act, would shield journalists from government surveillance and from being forced to reveal confidential sources. It was first introduced in June 2021 and was reintroduced in 2023. It's passed the House twice but languished in the Senate.

President-elect Donald Trump has of course had a tumultuous relationship with journalists. Last month, Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, writing that, "REPUBLICANS MUST KILL THIS BILL."

Now, the PRESS Act is running out of time to pass before the end of the lame duck session. We discuss why press advocates say this legislation is urgent, and what comes next for the bill.

Native America Calling - Monday, December 2, 2024 – Getting the lay of the land

If you ever buy or sell a parcel of land or build a home or business, you’ll likely need a land surveyor. They are the first professionals on the scene when people need to find and document property lines, reservation boundaries, utilities, and topography. On a bigger scale, much of the American west was originally mapped and named by explorers like Lewis and Clark and John Wesley Powell in the 1800s. It’s now up to Native American surveyors to include their unique understanding of the land going forward. We’ll hear from Native land surveyors about their work and the need to recruit more Native people to their ranks.
