Diocletian became emperor by a stroke of luck. He was losing a battle with the emperor Carinus, when several of Carinus’ officers, offended with his seducing of their wives, took revenge and killed him. Immediately they recognized Diocletian as their true emperor.
He was a strong leader who deserves first rank in the history of the empire, but also suffers from a bad reputation fostered by Christian writers who curse him for his persecution of their people.
AppLovin said it expects first-quarter revenue of between $1.36 billion and 1.39 billion, exceeding the $1.32 billion average analyst estimate, according to LSEG. More than $1 billion of that will come from its advertising segment, as the company said it is "still in the early stages" of bolstering its AI models.
"The roadmap ahead is filled with opportunities for iteration," the company said in its shareholder letter. "As we execute, we believe we can continue to drive value creation for our shareholders."
On the earnings call, Huffman said that Google's algorithm changes take place about twice a year, adding "not the first, not the last."

Reddit went public in march at $34 a share and has since seen its stock jump more than sixfold to $216.47 as of Wednesday's close. The shares were up 32% this year prior to the after-hours selloff.
Reddit's fourth-quarter earnings followed several other online advertising tech companies that recently reported their latest quarterly earnings.
Last week, Amazon reported fourth-quarter earnings, saying its online advertising business recorded $17.29 billion, up 18% from a year ago. In its fourth-quarter earnings, Pinterest said its sales in the period rose 18% year over year to $1.15 billion.
Soon after taking power, Diocletian named a colleague, Maximian, Caesar and assigned him control of the western provinces. This act gave him free reign to deal with problems along the Danube – five years worth. The dual-emperor model worked well but did nothing to solve the problem of succession. Diocletian fixed that problem in 293 A.D.by having Maximian and himself name their replacements – Julius Constantius and Galerius Maximianus.
All four of them had been participating in the wars starting in 286 A.D: a Berber revolt in Africa, a Persian seizure of Armenia, a pretender in Egypt declaring himself emperor, and a breakaway commander in Britain. These challenges took four years to clean up. The Goths and Germans were also troublesome during this time, but they were held back by a superior Roman effort and dedicated commanders. The Germans spent much of the time fighting among themselves.
Rome, the city, was now isolated and unimportant. Diocletian visited there only once because it was just too far from the action. The tetrarchs chose Trier, Milan, Thessalonica, and Nicomedia for their capitals.
By 304, Diocletian was old and sick. He decided to resign and convinced his partner to do likewise. The dual resignation date was May 1, 305. The two new emperors ascended to the throne and named their replacements as before, but the wrong people were passed over in the process. Severus and Maximinus were selected, but the sons of Constantius and Maximian – Constantine and Maxentius – were passed over. When Constantius died prematurely in 306, his army proclaimed Constantine as new emperor in the west. Before Galerius could elevate Severus in opposition, Maxentius proclaimed himself emperor in Rome. Ultimately, Constantine and Maxentius faced off in a battle at Milvian Bridge on October 28th, 312 with Constantine the winner. Maxentius drowned trying to cross the Tiber.

India's Modi to meet with Trump, Musk on Thursday as trade tensions mount
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has meetings set up for Thursday with President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, among other leaders.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is headed to Washington, D.C., for meetings with President Donald Trump and members of his administration, including Elon Musk, to discuss topics such as efforts to avoid a trade war and artificial intelligence policy, CNBC has confirmed.
In his meetings with President Trump on Thursday, Modi will address the country's growing trade deficit and present a menu of trade concessions including some tied to agriculture and medical devices, according to sources familiar with the upcoming talks who asked not to be named because they weren't authorized to speak on the matter.
“The person, as well as the mind, of Constantine, had been enriched by nature with her choices endowments. His stature was lofty, his countenance majestic, his deportment graceful; his strength and activity were displayed in every manly exercise, and from his earliest youth, to a very advanced season of life, he preserved the vigor of his constitution by a strict adherence to the domestic virtues of chastity and temperance. He delighted in the social intercourse of familiar conversation; and though he might sometimes indulge his disposition to raillery with less reserve than was required by the severe dignity of his station, the courtesy and liberality of his manners gained the hearts of all who approached him. The sincerity of his friendship has been suspected; yet he showed, on some occasions, that he was not incapable of a warm and lasting attachment.
Avride will operate the bots throughout one square mile of downtown Jersey City, from Hamilton Park to Historic Downtown to the Waterfront, with plans to expand in the future. Avride declined to state how many bots it would put on the streets of Jersey City at launch.
A handful of restaurants will participate, including Michelin rated Jiangnan, Rumi Turkish Grill, and Gulp. Customers ordering off the Uber Eats app will be able to choose between having a traditional courier or an Avride robot deliver their meal.
Despite this optimism, he warned that AV commercialization will take a while due to a number of factors, including high costs to outfit vehicles with sensor suits, a fragmented regulatory environment, seasonal demand fluctuations, and the need to achieve “superhuman” levels of safety.
After a winning a battle against Licinius in 317 A.D. Constantine won concessions including most of the Balkans and the guarantee that his sons would be in line for the throne. Then, in a final showdown 324 A.D, Constantine defeated his rival at Hadrianopolis.
The emperor now turned his attention to the construction of a new capital at Byzantium (Constantinople) which took six years. Then, in the 330s A.D, he was engaged with the Germans along the Danube, defeating the Goths in 332 A.D. and the Sarmatians in 334. These victories brought back to Rome much of the Dacian territory originally won by Trajan.
Constantine died in 337 A.D. after being baptized as a Christian. His reign had marked two enormous changes in the empire: the embracing of Christianity and the move of the capital to Constantinople.
In a filing earlier on Wednesday, attorneys for OpenAI called Musk’s move to take control of the company “an improper bid to undermine a competitor,” and a contradiction of his position in court that a transfer of the startup’s assets through restructuring would breach its mission as a charitable trust.

Significant barbarian attacks on the Empire began in the mid-third century A.D. and continued for more than a century before the empire lost the ability to protect itself. In this article we will describe those attacks, their genesis, and the impact they had on Rome.
Before proceeding, however, we need to review some background material on the Goths, once again relying on our friend Gibbon.
“In the age of the Antonines, the Goths were still seated in Prussia. About the reign of Alexander Severus, the Roman province of Dacia had already experienced their proximity by frequent and destructive inroads. In this interval, therefore, of about seventy years, we must place the second migration of the Goths from the Baltic to the Euxine (Black Sea); but the cause that produced it lies concealed among the various motives which actuate the conduct of unsettled barbarians. Either a pestilence or a famine, a victory or a defeat, an oracle of the gods or the eloquence of a daring leader, were sufficient to impel the Gothic arms on the milder climates of the south.”
“Docker both feels like a cool new startup and the bedrock of the container native universe, prevalent now and moving towards ubiquitous, as cloud-native takes over the world,” Johnson said in a statement announcing his appointment.
Johnson is Docker’s sixth CEO, following co-founder Solomon Hykes who led the company until 2013; Ben Golub, who departed in 2017 to make way for Steve Singh; and Rob Bearden, who was the company’s CEO for just six months before Docker chief product officer, Scott Johnston, was promoted to lead the company in 2019.

John McCain, born on August 29, 1936, in Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone, was the son and grandson of four-star Navy admirals, setting him on a path marked by military service and public duty. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958 and served valiantly during the Vietnam War, where he was shot down and captured. McCain endured five and a half years as a prisoner of war, exhibiting extraordinary resilience under brutal conditions, which earned him numerous medals, including the Silver Star and Bronze Star.
ohn McCain, following in the distinguished lineage of his naval family, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958 and swiftly saw action in the Vietnam War. He became a naval aviator, flying bombing missions against North Vietnam. On October 26, 1967, during a bombing run over Hanoi, McCain's aircraft was shot down, leading to his capture by North Vietnamese forces. He sustained critical injuries, breaking both arms and a leg in the crash, and was subsequently imprisoned in the infamous Hoa Lo prison, known as the "Hanoi Hilton." His lineage as the son of a high-ranking officer meant McCain was offered an early release, which he declined, adhering to the military code of conduct.
John McCain's political journey took a pivotal turn when he announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination in 1999. He emerged as a formidable contender against then-Texas Governor George W. Bush, gaining traction with voters who appreciated his candid and straightforward communication style. McCain's appeal transcended party lines, garnering support from independent voters and disenchanted Democrats, particularly noticeable when he won the New Hampshire primary with significant margins. His campaign emphasized reform, national security, and a strong defense policy, allowing him to connect with the electorate through a blend of traditional conservative ideals and his unique "maverick" persona.
John McCain's personal life was marked by two significant marriages and a close-knit family. He first married Carol Shepp, a model from Philadelphia, on July 3, 1965. Carol had two children from a previous relationship, whom McCain adopted. The couple had a daughter named Sidney in 1966. However, after 15 years of marriage, McCain and Carol divorced in April 1980. This initial marriage laid the foundation for McCain's subsequent commitment to family and the values he espoused throughout his life.
John McCain, a prominent American politician and war hero, had a net worth that reflected his extensive career in public service and various endeavors. Throughout his time as a U.S. senator from Arizona, McCain's annual salary was approximately $174,000, a sum standard for members of Congress. Additionally, he earned income from book royalties, particularly from his memoir “Faith of My Fathers” published in 1999, and later “The Restless Wave.” The success of these publications contributed significantly to his overall wealth, showcasing his ability to leverage his life experiences and public persona.
By 268 A.D. a Gothic War was underway. The Goths had warmed up by attacking along the Danube in the 262-263 timeframe and then ravaging Asia Minor in 267. Joined by the Heruli tribe, they raced down the Balkans in 268 and sacked Athens. Gallienus blocked and defeated them at Naissus, but was recalled to Milan to put down an internal revolt. While there, he was assassinated.
The next emperor, Claudius II “Gothicus” made his living fighting the Germans. He defeated the Alemanni, after they crossed the Alps in 268 A.D, and then campaigned against them again, with success, the next year. The Goths achieved a partial victory against him in 270, but were laid low by the plague. The emperor also contracted the disease and died in August of 270.
Despite being hailed a hero for his actions, Jewell's life quickly descended into a nightmare as he became the principal suspect in the bombing. The FBI's investigation, coupled with sensationalist media coverage, portrayed him in an unflattering light, leading to intense public scrutiny. Jewell’s defense was vigorously mounted by his legal team, and they eventually succeeded in clearing his name, but not without lasting emotional and psychological effects. Though he faced significant challenges post-incident, including health issues, Jewell continued to work in law enforcement until his untimely death from complications related to diabetes in August 2007. His legacy remains a reminder of the fragility of public perception and the impact of media representation.
In July 1996, as the Summer Olympics brought global attention to Atlanta, Richard Jewell was working as a security guard at Centennial Olympic Park when he discovered a suspicious backpack containing a pipe bomb. His instinct to alert authorities and evacuate the area was credited with saving countless lives, but this act of heroism quickly turned into a nightmare. Shortly after being hailed as a hero, the FBI identified him as a suspect, leading to intense media scrutiny and public vilification. Jewell's life transformed drastically from that of a celebrated savior to a beleaguered scapegoat, highlighting the precarious nature of fame and public perception in modern society.
As the public fascination grew, FBI agents descended upon Jewell's life with claims of conducting a training exercise, further embroiling him in an investigation that saw him positioned as the primary suspect in a crime he did not commit. The relentless media circus surrounding him catalyzed a fierce backlash against the institutions that once celebrated him. His friendship with attorney Watson Bryant became vital as they fought to reclaim Jewell's reputation, releasing a polygraph test that validated his innocence. Over time, public sentiment began to shift, revealing the deep-seated injustices faced by Jewell amidst the frenzy of media speculation and an unyielding investigative apparatus.
Determined to clear his name, Jewell engaged in a vigorous public defense led by his longtime friend, lawyer Watson Bryant. They released polygraph test results indicating his innocence and mounted an aggressive campaign to confront the media's portrayal of him. As Jewell's attorneys fought back against the media's narrative, public sentiment began to shift in his favor. His resilience paid off when, after nearly three months of being labeled a suspect, the FBI officially cleared him of any wrongdoing. This recognition came too late to restore his reputation fully, but it laid the groundwork for his subsequent legal actions against the media that had tarnished his name.
How did Richard Jewell's life change after the bombing?
Immediately after the bombing, Jewell became a media sensation celebrated for his heroism. However, within days, he was wrongly targeted by the FBI and sensationalized by the media as a suspect, which led to immense public scrutiny and significant personal turmoil.
Richard Jewell passed away on August 29, 2007, due to complications from diabetes. He had spent years battling the aftereffects of the 1996 bombing incident's media frenzy and his wrongful characterization as a suspect, leaving a legacy that was recognized posthumously through various tributes.

By 268 A.D. a Gothic War was underway. The Goths had warmed up by attacking along the Danube in the 262-263 timeframe and then ravaging Asia Minor in 267. Joined by the Heruli tribe, they raced down the Balkans in 268 and sacked Athens. Gallienus blocked and defeated them at Naissus, but was recalled to Milan to put down an internal revolt. While there, he was assassinated.
The next emperor, Claudius II “Gothicus” made his living fighting the Germans. He defeated the Alemanni, after they crossed the Alps in 268 A.D, and then campaigned against them again, with success, the next year. The Goths achieved a partial victory against him in 270, but were laid low by the plague. The emperor also contracted the disease and died in August of 270.
