The 220 Central Park South building, center, stands in New York, U.S., on Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2019. Just days after buying one of the most expensive residential properties in London, Citadel founder Ken Griffin set a U.S. record with the $238 million penthouse at 220 Central Park South. Jeenah Moon | Bloomberg | Getty Images New York City’s new tax on second homes will more than double property taxes owed by many wealthy luxury apartment owners, according to tax experts. State lawmakers on Wednesday passed the tax on non-primary residences in order to help close the city’s budget gap. The so-called pied-a-terre tax will be imposed on second homes valued at $1 million or more. It’s expected to raise $500 million in revenue.

Apple's long-awaited Siri overhaul, expected to arrive in iOS 27, might look a lot like ChatGPT with a splash of Liquid Glass.

Ken Griffin wasn’t buying the AI panic. At Davos in January, the billionaire founder of Citadel, the Miami hedge fund giant with $68 billion in investment capital, dismissed artificial intelligence’s output as “garbage.” Then this month, Griffin did a 180. He watched AI agents do complex work in hours that once took Citadel employees weeks or even months. Citadel’s entire business is built around hiring brainiacs. More than 40% of its employees hold advanced degrees, including about 270 Ph.D.s across 40 fields. These are some of the highest-paid workers in America –the median annual compensation for software engineers at Citadel is more than $500,000– and software that can replace even part of that labor could save firms like Citadel enormous amounts of money.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has criticized a New York lawsuit that seeks legal ownership of thousands of dormant Bitcoin wallets. Summary A New York lawsuit seeks ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets under lost-property law. The wallets reportedly hold about 3.7 million BTC, including Satoshi-linked and Mt. Gox-linked addresses. Charles Hoskinson criticized the case, arguing inactivity should not equal abandonment in self-custody. The case has drawn attention because it tests whether inactivity in a self-custodied wallet can be treated as abandoned property under state law.

The lawsuit asks the court to declare ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallet addresses. According to reporting on the filing, th
