Every trading day, Lucas and Luna sit down with the latest market data, earnings reports, and macro indicators to dissect the business of autonomous vehicles — not the demo reels, but the balance sheets. They track how Waymo, Tesla, Cruise, and Aurora are burning cash, who’s winning the LIDAR cost war, and what the Fed’s rate decisions mean for SPACs that went public with $2 billion valuations and $0 revenue. The show lives in the tension between the technology’s promise and the industry’s capital-intensive reality. When a new Robotaxi approval drops in San Francisco or a trucking ...

Passive index investing is often sold as a set-it-and-forget-it strategy, but the quiet mechanics of your portfolio — which index fund you choose, how its fees compound, how dividends are reinvested, and how the fund tracks its benchmark — can alter your long-term returns by tens of thousands of dollars. In each episode of Index Fund Investing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna sit down with a fresh set of live data from Vanguard, S&P Global, and the Federal Reserve to examine exactly one core question: Is the simplest investment strategy really that simple?

Lucas breaks down month-over-month changes in capacity utilization and durable goods orders, while Luna interrogates the disconnect between aggregate statistics and on-the-ground realities in places ...

Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis, completed what his grandfather began: the conquest of China. By 1279, his Mongol armies had extinguished the Song Dynasty, establishing the Yuan Dynasty that would rule China for nearly a century. But Kublai was more than a conqueror—he was a builder of cities, a patron of the arts, and a ruler who blended Mongol steppe traditions with Chinese Confucian governance. Lucas and Luna trace his rise from a young prince competing for the khaganate to the emperor who welcomed Marco Polo to his court at Khanbaliq (modern Beijing). They explore the administrative ...

They discuss why some deployments succeed while others stall, referencing case studies like a factory floor retrofit in Stuttgart or a city-wide air quality network in Bengaluru. The conversation stays close to engineering constraints—power budgets, latency requirements, security ...
