Elon Musk never wanted to build the low-cost car, according to Walter Isaacson. He wanted the design team to focus on the robotaxi, but they eventually convinced him to do both. Now he’s overruled them again.
If the board really cares about Tesla, they’d use this to oust Musk.

Intressant artikel, men det hade varit bra om du tydligare skiljde på det som är maskinöversatta citat från pressreleasen och vad som är dina egna kommentarer, missade dem hela första gången jag kollade.

De har väl helt enkelt använt olika kriterier, och de svenska gängen sågs som för tama.
Enligt @Anders_S är inga av gängen på listan svenska ( https://mastodon.nu/@Anders_S/112217957378021488 )
Colombia is firing an Assistant Professor who taught human rights and public health courses for teaching that Israel is a “colonial settler state” (aka a completely reasonable position backed by mounds of scholarship). https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/04/mailman-professor-abdul-kayum-ahmed-to-receive-letter-of-nonrenewal-following-claims-of-political-indoctrination/?fbclid=IwAR3LHKK47UQBTR49YBx9uQfj0v0Co6WXuXDvzgHidanAi_BDBHBnrpXBqmE_aem_ATYYaKKz2XnoxPY2DNeH0hual_DYozCnSLVOQtZQ-S43LUgtltbsCzRADomo8NNyIBE

Moral failure, diplomatic failure, democratic failure, systems failure.

“It would be untrue to say that we are not afraid of Putin and threats to us”, says Russian exile news site Meduza’s editor-in-chief Ivan Kolpakov. Read my interview with him on Scoop! https://www.scoopmagasin.se/artiklar/english/meduza
Report into MS breach is out: https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-04/CSRB_Review_of_the_Summer_2023_MEO_Intrusion_Final_508c.pdf
I had a tweet in 2021 saying MSTIC should not use the Nation State Notification process to hide breaches from the public.
That was a reference to the Affirmed Networks breach - aka Azure for Operators - listed in this report. They hid it.
The website for Azure for Operators at the time had Satya’s face on it.. that breach, which they refused to share details about, apparently led to this one.

In Pusesavali: doctored images, destroyed lives
In Maharashtra, majoritarian Hindutva mobs are whipping up the communal cauldron. Photoshopped images, doctored videos and rumours are enough to set them off, resulting in the loss of Muslim lives and property.

Researchers are beginning to capture data that seems to show Meta's pivot away from political and news content.

Do they get better disability pay if they get injured by an enemy weapon or something like that?
Because all this noise being purely about people being too prideful to swallow being knocked down by stress is just depressing.
I rewired the back of the panel to tidy up all the loose flappy cables. It now manages 600 rpm, which is not too flickery.
It is remarkable that 190 years after Clausewitz's On War declared that 'war is politics by other means', contemporary analysis of the war in Ukraine still acutely feel the need to repeat this lesson.
In https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/oa_edited_volume/chapter/3881920 Kofman writes:
> Fourth, this war reinforces that military strategy remains political in nature, where political considerations and assumptions often tend to reign supreme over military logic and a rationalized view of war that often stems from military sciences.
Which to me raises the question: what forces in #military debate are actively hiding celebrated insights that are almost 200 years old?
Not sure what this account will be about, mostly boosting things I find interesting.
