Aviation officials say it's a safety hazard when passengers unbuckle their seatbelts or stand up while the plane is still moving, and it can also delay the disembarking process. Toby, what's next? Finding people who clap when the plane lands?

Obviously could not be more in support of this rule. Nothing grinds my gears like people getting hot under the collar and jumping up to try to make up three rows. Where are you going? There is nowhere to go. It just drives me crazy. But you combine this with American Airlines' tech that triggers a sound if someone scans their boarding pass before their boarding group is called. And we are finally getting to the point where we are bringing back shame in proper amounts in the airport, in the travel sector. And I love it. Bring shame back. It's a very potent and powerful societal force. So shame the people who get up too early. Shame the early boarders. Shame and financial repercussions. And financial, but mostly the shame. And now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn.

All right, Neil, trivia time. How many professionals are on LinkedIn? Price is right rules. Nope.
Neal Freiman 1:48
Feel free to go as high as you want. Well, if that's the case, I'm going big. Let's say 300 million. Wow. You nailed it. Really? No.
Toby Howell 1:57
Multiply that by three and you'd be close. LinkedIn has 1 billion members. And among that group, there are 130 million decision makers and 10 million C-level executives.
Neal Freiman 2:08
And all those billions and millions of professionals are an advertising goldmine for B2B marketers.

Why are consulting firms experiencing layoffs?

Toby Howell 2:13
With LinkedIn, you can target the professionals who matter most to your business to start generating results. In the tech space, LinkedIn generated two to five times higher return on ad spend than any other social media platform, and 79% of B2B content marketers said LinkedIn produces the best results for paid media.

NVIDIA reported earnings yesterday, and while the days of 200% revenue growth are over, things are still pretty hunky-dory for the company selling shovels during the AI gold rush. Demand for AI infrastructure shows no signs of cooling down, empowering NVIDIA to better than expected earnings and revenue. as its data center business recorded year-over-year growth of 73%.

How are companies leveraging Bitcoin for reserves?

Toby Howell 3:08
Not quite triple digits, but hey, C's get degrees. The other main focus ahead of its earnings was whether recent U.S. chip export controls were going to affect NVIDIA's international chip business in future revenue guidance, and the answer was yes. Yes, they are. Nvidia forecasted $45 billion in sales for Q2, saying its guidance would have been $8 billion higher if not for the export restrictions on China-bound H20 chips. The restrictions also led to $4.5 billion in extra inventory charges, $2.5 billion in lost sales, and a 10-point hit to its gross margin. Obviously, export restrictions are a hot topic in the chip industry, as successive administrations have tried to stop NVIDIA's most advanced tech from falling into Chinese hands. But Jensen Huang himself called those attempts a failure, arguing they've only accelerated China's domestic industry by galvanizing local talent and government support.
