Ron Baron understands
BREAKING: Ron Baron backs Elon Musk to put data centers in space.
“We need more power and Elon’s doing that.”
• Baron says America needs to build more chips at home and generate more electricity. “We need more power. Elon’s doing that.”
• By Baron’s estimate, China has roughly 3× the power capacity of the U.S. and adds about 300 gigawatts a year, compared with 20 in the U.S.
• Baron says Musk is targeting launches in 2027 and 2028 to bring solar-powered data centers into orbit.
• He expects data centers in space to be “significant in 2028” and “huge” a year or two later.

Millions have watched an MIT professor accidentally destroy the American sports betting industry in a free 12-lecture undergraduate poker course.
MIT charges $85,000 a year to sit in that classroom.
He posted every lecture on OpenCourseWare for nothing.
Almost no one who has ever placed a DraftKings same-game parlay has finished all twelve.
His name is Kevin Desmond. He is an MIT alum, a professional poker player, and the instructor of 15.S50 Poker Theory and Analytics, which MIT gave undergraduates college credit for taking during January of 2015.
The 43-minute clip in this video is one lecture from that course, filmed at MIT that same month.
The chart on the screen behind him looks like a poker graph. It is the exact math that decides whether a Wall Street quant clears $500,000 a year, whether a FanDuel bettor loses their rent money on a Sunday afternoon, and whether a Silicon Valley founder can walk into a term sheet negotiation without being taken apart in the room.
Desmond compresses the mathematical foundation of every adversarial decision on earth into five ideas.
Ranges. You never know your opponent's exact hand. You know a distribution of hands weighted by probability. Every FanDuel bettor picking a parlay on a hunch is playing without a range. Every retail trader guessing a competitor's next move is guessing blind.
Pot odds. The equation that tells you when a call has positive expected value. Every VC term sheet and every insurance premium reduces to it. Every same-game parlay on DraftKings violates it in ways the app is legally allowed to hide from you.
Expected value. Sum every outcome weighted by probability. Casinos are built on it. Poker pros live on it. Sports bettors violate it every time they chase a loss hoping for a hot Sunday.
Game theory optimal. The Nash equilibrium of poker. The strategy no opponent can exploit no matter how well they read you. Quant funds pay $500,000 bonuses for one senior who can solve for it under pressure.
Exploitative play. When to deviate from GTO to punish a specific mistake. What every senior desk on Wall Street does against retail order flow, every trading session, every day.
Every quant fund on Wall Street runs a hiring pipeline that starts with this material.
Every prop trading desk drills it into juniors before their first live session.
The MIT professor who filmed the whole course posted it on OpenCourseWare for the price of an internet connection.
"Every time you play a hand differently from the way you would have played it if you could see all your opponent's cards, they gain."
That is David Sklansky's Fundamental Theorem of Poker. Desmond opens the course with it. It is also the exact statement of information asymmetry that every trading floor, casino, and DraftKings promo card on earth is built to exploit.
The lectures are free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The problem sets are online. Every equation Desmond derives fits on one page.
The math is free. The willingness to spend 43 minutes on one lecture before opening a sportsbook app, placing a parlay, or entering a negotiation is a much rarer commodity than the confidence to walk in without it.
