When CoreWeave, the cloud computing company vying to become the first major artificial intelligence start-up to go public, filed paperwork for a public listing earlier this month, it was a mark of optimism in an otherwise rocky market for I.P.O.s.But now that optimism has faded as the New Jersey-based CoreWeave significantly reduced the size and value of its offering on Thursday. The company is now expected to price its shares at $40 when it begins trading on Friday, according to the company, down from recent estimates in filings that its shares would be priced at $47 to $55 a share.Initially…

Three years later, Khadija Zaidi-Rashid still remembers the screams of other passengers, the unsettled expression on the flight attendant’s face and the helplessness she felt holding her infant on her lap.Dr. Zaidi-Rashid, 34, then a doctoral student, was flying from Washington to Doha, Qatar, with her mother and two children when their airplane encountered severe turbulence. Her other child, a toddler, was in a seat next to her, and the half-hour of roller-coaster shaking and bucking felt like hours. Since then — though everyone emerged unscathed — she cannot get over the sense of worry on every flight she takes.“The…

Thailand’s capital, meanwhile, has been declared a disaster area, with the Bangkok governor placed in charge of coordinating the disaster response. Mrs Cindy Casey Henwood and her husband, who are in Thailand on a business trip, just started their lunch at the shopping mall EmSphere when the shaking began.  “It was pretty bad.

Automakers can respond to President Trump’s new 25 percent tariffs on imported cars and parts in several ways. But all of them cost money and will lead to higher car prices, analysts say.Manufacturers can try to move production from countries like Mexico to the United States. They can try to increase the number of cars they already make here. They can stop selling imported models, especially ones that are less profitable.But whatever carmakers decide, car buyers can expect to pay more for new and used vehicles. Estimates vary widely and depend on the model, but the increase could range from…

Livingston, New Jersey (population 31,330) has always punched above its weight. Its residents have included Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander, my novelist brother Harlan, and Genovese crime family capo Ritchie “The Boot” Boiardo, who some say inspired The Sopranos. Its main landmark is the Livingston Mall, which opened to great fanfare in 1972 and has since slid into decline and is facing condemnation. I used to go there as a kid.Livingston isn’t perfect, but it’s my hometown. So imagine my excitement when I saw that CoreWeave, an AI-infrastructure company whose headquarters are a 10-minute drive from my childhood home, was preparing a…
