• Roblox could move its corporation from Delaware to Nevada.
• Shareholders will vote on the possible move in May.
• Some companies have followed Elon Musk's decision to reincorporate his companies outside Delaware.

Delaware's reputation as the country's most corporate-friendly state has taken another hit.

Roblox is now the latest company to propose leaving Delaware, according to a note it sent to its shareholders this week. Numerous other major corporations — like Dropbox and Bill Ackerman's Pershing Square Capital Management — have also said in recent months they planned to leave Delaware. Meta, too, is rumored to be considering a move.

The trend began with Elon Musk, who moved Tesla and SpaceX out of Delaware last year after a Delaware judge sided with some Tesla shareholders to block Musk's $55 billion pay package.

In the note, Roblox's board of directors, who have already approved the move, urged shareholders to support the proposal.

"We believe that Nevada's corporate law framework and statutory regime aligns with Roblox's culture of innovation, values, and mission to connect the world with civility and optimism," the company said in its note to shareholders. "It also allows us to continue to build shareholder value by providing a supportive, predictable environment."

The ongoing exodus is devastating for Delaware, which has long been considered the country's most business-friendly state. According to Delaware's government, the state is home to some 2.2 million registered entities, which contribute millions to its revenue. In 2024, more than 80% of IPOs in the United States were incorporated in Delaware.

Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer has moved to make changes to address concerns.

"The fact is Delaware is the best location in the world for a company to incorporate and that's thanks to our legal expertise dating back to 1792," Meyer told Business Insider in February. "But let's be clear: If any entity leaves Delaware, we're going to work to win them back."

Meyer said the balance of shareholder and management rights is one of the areas the state intended to address. "We're cognizant that there may be some things that need to change. We're going to work on them," he said.

On March 25, the governor approved a number of proposed changes. But for some corporations, those fixes might be too little too late.

A Roblox spokesperson told BI the company believed reincorporating in Nevada could "provide a stable and predictable legal environment in which the Company can focus on innovation and growth."

• Moving back home deepened my bond with my grandparents in unexpected ways.
• Losing my grandmother taught me to cherish every moment with loved ones.
• This experience showed me the power of slowing down and being present.

In July 2022, I moved back to my grandparents' house, thinking it would be temporary.

After a decade away for college and work, I saw it as a reset before finding my next place. My plan was simple: settle into my new job, find an apartment, and move out. But what I thought would be a short stay became one of the best decisions of my life.

We've always been close

I've always been close to my grandparents. As the oldest grandchild and only girl, I was their baby. Even when I lived far away, I visited during the holidays, always staying at their house. No matter how much time passed, being with them felt like home.

My grandmother was excited when I moved back. Before I moved, she called to ask, "What color do you want your room?" She insisted on personalizing my bedroom. I laughed at the thought of being in my 30s and having my grandmother decorate my room, but we settled on pink, which is my favorite color.

It was about the simple joys of life

Living with my grandparents wasn't about big adventures but about small, simple joys.

Each morning, my grandmother asked, "Do you want grits and eggs?" even though she knew the answer was always yes. Cooking was her love language, and making sure we had a hot meal brought her joy.

But Saturdays were for Cracker Barrel. She loved the Grandma's Sampler Breakfast, and we went every weekend. My mom often joined, turning it into a family tradition. I used to joke that I was tired of Cracker Barrel, but she never budged.

Looking back, I'm so glad she didn't.

These outings weren't just about the meal. She loved picking out greeting cards and taking her time to find the perfect ones. She often wrote me notes in them, reminding me how much I was loved. I still have them all.

At the time, I didn't think much of these routines. Now, they mean everything.

My grandmother died

I moved home thinking I had all the time in the world. Exactly two years later, on July 31, 2024, my grandmother went into the hospital while I was at a conference. That night, we learned the diagnosis: stage 4 cancer. We had just 30 days left with her.

One month. That's all the time we had to squeeze in every conversation. How do you say goodbye to someone who was just here?

Now, it's just me and my granddad. Our routines have changed, but I treasure them just as much. Every morning, he wakes me up with the same phrase: "Don't sleep too long, you gotta get up!" We take drives, talk about life, and share stories from his childhood and his journey to Chicago in the 1960s.

He always tells me how proud he is of me, and I hold on to it a little tighter each time.

Living with them changed my perspective

Before moving home, I was always focused on what was next: chasing my career goals and personal milestones and constantly checking boxes. But these past two years have changed my perspective.

I've learned that success isn't just about moving forward but about being present. It's about realizing that the little moments we often overlook are the ones that matter most.

My grandmother always told me, "Do everything from a place of love." That's how she lived, and I carry that lesson with me every day.

If I could go back to 2022, I'd tell myself to take it all in. I'd sit with my grandmother for just one more conversation. I'd let her drag me to Cracker Barrel more than once a week. I'd hold on to every moment a little longer.

But since I can't, I do the next best thing. I cherish every second with my granddad. I listen to his stories, laugh at his jokes, and show up because one day, these will be the moments I look back on, just as I do with my grandmother now.

• I grew up in tiny NYC apartments, so the thought of shopping at Costco was a distant luxury.
• However, my partner and I recently moved into a house in Los Angeles and now love it there.
• We get gas, protein bars, batteries, frozen fruit, and more at Costco each month.

I grew up in New York City and have always lived in small apartments without much storage space. It just never made sense for me to buy groceries in bulk.

However, my partner and I recently moved to Los Angeles, and now we have a whole house to ourselves. One of the best perks of our new life is taking monthly trips to Costco for all our favorite items.

Here are my favorite things to get there.

• Trump announced double-digit broad tariffs on imported goods from dozens of countries.
• They included new levies on all goods from key trading partners like China and the European Union.
• These are the top goods that the US imports from countries facing some of the toughest new tariffs.

President Donald Trump's slew of broad tariffs target dozens of countries, including many key US trading partners. A range of goods Americans rely on will be affected.

On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order to implement broad tariffs on over 180 countries that have placed tariffs on US goods. On top of a 10% baseline tariff, the president said he'll impose additional double-digit tariffs that the administration argued were based on tariffs and other trade barriers those countries placed on the US.

"They do it to us, and we do it to them. Very simple. Can't get any simpler than that," Trump said during his remarks.

Some affected countries have already warned of retaliatory tariffs following Trump's announcement; Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, said during a speech ahead of Trump's executive order that "we do not necessarily want to retaliate but, if it is necessary, we have a strong plan to retaliate and we will use it."

Here are the top goods the US imports from some of the major countries hit by Trump's newest tariffs.

China

Trump announced a 34% tariff on goods imported from China in addition to the earlier 20% tariff he placed on them last month. The US imported $438.9 billion worth of goods from China in 2024.

Census Bureau data showed that radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment were major imports from China in 2024. Computers, apparel, and footwear were among the top goods imported based on dollar value.

European Union

Trump announced a 20% tariff on goods imported from the European Union. The US imported $605.8 billion worth of goods from the EU in 2024.

Some of the key imports from the EU based on 2024 data involve healthcare-related goods, including pharmaceutical preparations.

Vietnam

Trump announced a 46% tariff on goods imported from Vietnam. The US imported about $136.6 billion worth of goods from the country in 2024.

The top 10 imports from Vietnam in 2024 based on dollar value included computer-related and other equipment, furniture, and semiconductors.

Taiwan

Trump announced a 32% tariff on goods imported from Taiwan. The US imported about $116.3 billion worth of goods from the country in 2024.

The top 10 imports from Taiwan in 2024 included various kinds of electronic and computer equipment, fasteners, and semiconductors.

Japan

Trump announced a 24% tariff on goods imported from Japan. The US imported $148.2 billion worth of goods from the country in 2024.

Vehicles, vehicle parts, and motors were among the top 10 goods imported from Japan in 2024.

Trump's sweeping tariffs sent Wall Street into its worst day since June 2020, even as Trump promised a market "boom."

U.S. tariffs may lead to "potential changes to pricing, availability, and lead times for specific items," says a Wisconsin-based company owned by a Trump donor.

Bonobos, great apes related to us and chimpanzees that live in the Republic of Congo, communicate with vocal calls including peeps, hoots, yelps, grunts, and whistles. Now, a team of Swiss scientists led by Melissa Berthet, an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Zurich, discovered bonobos can combine these basic sounds into larger semantic structures. In these communications, meaning is something more than just a sum of individual calls—a trait known as non-trivial compositionality, which we once thought was uniquely human.

To do this, Berthet and her colleagues built a database of 700 bonobo calls and deciphered them using methods drawn from distributional semantics, the methodology we’ve relied on in reconstructing long-lost languages like Etruscan or Rongorongo. For the first time, we have a glimpse into what bonobos mean when they call to each other in the wild.

Context is everything

The key idea behind distributional semantics is that when words appear in similar contexts, they tend to have similar meanings. To decipher an unknown language, you need to collect a large corpus of words and turn those words into vectors—mathematical representations that let you place them in a multidimensional semantic space. The second thing you need is context data, which tells you the circumstances in which these words were used (that gets vectorized, too). When you map your word vectors onto context vectors in this multidimensional space, what usually happens is that words with similar meaning end up close to each other. Berthet and her colleagues wanted to apply the same trick to bonobos’ calls. That seemed straightforward at first glance, but proved painfully hard to execute.
