  • Apple didn’t send “tens of thousands” of Apple Card transaction disputes to Goldman Sachs, according to the CFPB. The CFPB says that Goldman Sachs didn’t complete timely inquires on disputes it received in accordance with federal law, either.

    Cardholders were also led to believe that they would automatically get interest-free financing if they bought Apple devices using the Apple Card, but “many cardholders were unknowingly charged interest because they were not automatically enrolled as expected,” the CFPB says. The CFPB adds that for people shopping online, Apple only showed the interest-free financing option in Safari.











  • Mullis practiced clandestine chemistry throughout his graduate studies, specializing in the synthesis of LSD; according to his friend Tom White, “I knew he was a good chemist because he’d been synthesizing hallucinogenic drugs at UC Berkeley.”[18] He detailed his experiences synthesizing and testing various psychedelic amphetamines and a difficult trip on DET in his autobiography.[50]: 167–170  In a Q&A interview published in the September 1994 issue of California Monthly, Mullis said, “Back in the 1960s and early 1970s I took plenty of LSD. A lot of people were doing that in Berkeley back then. And I found it to be a mind-opening experience. It was certainly much more important than any courses I ever took.”[55][verification needed] During a symposium held for centenarian Albert Hofmann, Hofmann said Mullis had told him that LSD had “helped him develop the polymerase chain reaction that helps amplify specific DNA sequences”.[56]
