Had to vent some frustration that the same week Zuck whined about how the Biden admin sent some mean emails and that was so unfair, he was literally going over his policy changes with Trump aides to make sure they were cool with it, and that gets no headlines.

BREAKING: Jimmy Carter has died at 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served from 1977 to 1981, was perhaps more famous for the life he led after leaving office — as an advocate for peace and human rights.

Read about his lasting legacy.

Lest we forget, it was arrogant Silicon Valley VCs that crashed their own regional bank in the spring of 2023 with a Twitter-fueled online bank run. If the FDIC hadn’t served as a firebreak, we’d all be railroad hobos by now. I’m pro-deregulation but anti-anarchy.

Musk promised “one million Tesla robotaxis by the end of 2020.” So far, zero.

Meanwhile, Waymo is now transporting more than a half-million passengers a month in California alone.
“The number of passengers using Waymo’s driverless ride-hailing service more than doubled in California during the three month period after the company opened up rides to the public, from ~200,000 passengers in May, to ~500,000 in August.” Gift link: www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...
