Jonathan Kitchen South Korean AI chip startup DeepX is preparing to go public via a domestic initial public offering and said it is open to a possible U.S. listing later, underscoring ambitions to tap deeper capital pools and expand its global footprint. The company, which develops on-device AI chips designed for edge computing applications, said it will appoint underwriters after wrapping up its ongoing funding round in H1 2026. DeepX claims its chips significantly reduce energy consumption and cost compared with traditional GPUs, positioning it as a challenger in a market dominated by large companies. The startup works with companies like Hyundai and Baidu ( BIDU ), DeepX founder and CEO Lokwon Kim told Reuters . A potential U.S. listing, while not yet committed, would align the South Korean company with a broader trend among Asian semiconductor firms seeking higher valuations and capital.

Jury Trials Are Vital To The Constitutional Order Authored by David Thunder via 'The Freedom Blog' substack, The Labour-led British government is currently attempting to hollow out an ancient pillar of English constitutionalism, trial by jury. Under their planned reforms, trial by jury would survive in England and Wales for certain types of crimes, but its use would be significantly curtailed. For example, according to a government press release issued earlier this month, new “Swift Courts” will assign cases “with a likely sentence of three years or less” to be heard by “a Judge alone.” The campaign against jury trials, one of the most free-spirited and universally lauded institutions bequeathed to us by the common law tradition, would be baffling in a healthy constitutional regime. But sadly, it is predictable enough in a regime whose political leaders have developed the habit of tinkering with civil liberties as though they were trimming their lawn. Being an ancient institution that evolved gradually over a millennium, a significant restriction of jury trials would have unpredictable effects on the justice system. We simply do not know with any confidence how, in the long run, such a move would alter the incentives of prosecutors, change the pattern of convictions for different crimes, or alter public perceptions of the justice system. What we do know is that it would constitute a dangerous and completely unnecessary constitutional experiment, eroding one of the most time-honoured bulwarks of civil liberty. Furthermore, it is worth noting that according to an analysis published by the Free Speech Union , drawing on Ministry of Justice data, overall acquittal rates are much higher with juries than with magistrates’ courts (21.6% vs. 11.4%), and this difference also holds specifically for speech-related offences (27.6% vs. 15.9%). Assuming these figures are accurate, citizens will likely be much more vulnerable to prosecution and conviction if the use of jury trials...

A published report says that United Airlines has pitched senior government officials on whether it could get permission to merge with American Airlines, a transaction that if completed would lead to carrier controlling a third of the market.
