The #ford #ceo finally took a long #trip in an #ev - and realised how much of a pain in the arse it is: https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/for.. Maybe he now understand why nobody wants one, and people are even *returning* them in favour of #fuel #vehicles .
More and more of #hunterbiden 's #attorneys are #quitting wihtout giving a #reason https://www.zerohedge.com/political/thre..
I can see the argument for having #handles over #pointers https://floooh.github.io/2018/06/17/hand.. You look at something like #file #handles and they are pretty damn #reliable . There are negative points too, but generally I can see #stability and #speed being major #benefits to this design.
*Very* interesting #story about how a #startup was killed after getting large #vc #funding https://old.reddit.com/r/startups/commen.. I think the point is - don't deviate too far from your winning formula, especially because people who don't understand your success tell you to do so. I can very much see why more #funding than you need can kill your #startup / #company . The vast majority of #successful companies never recieved a single penny to #startup .
Very interesting #idea put forward by #dominiccummings to #bury the #tory #conservatives and build a #uk #political #party for the #future https://dominiccummings.substack.com/p/4.. #sunak needs to go, he's a just a #puppet and it's obvious to anybody watching.
#futurama is back, but the #comedy #writing is #lazy . All of the references are #modern and tied to the #us , whereas the old #series was #universal . It seems like the new #writers are not as good as the last #futurama team.
Well, this will cause issues in #pakistan https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/i.. #imrankhan has been given 3 years in #prison and #banned from #pakistani #politics ahead of their #election . This will for sure cause #riots .
#espresso #coffee can apaprently #mitigate #alzheimer #tau #protein https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jaf.. This just backs up the idea that I need to #drink more #coffee !
Finally got through #supermanandlois #season 3 - what a #cliffhanger ! Defeinitely want to see how that gets resolved!
#zelensky #president of #ukraine has #fired #vadymprystaiko https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/z.. The #news is wrong though, it appears he was #leaking #secrets . #zelensky does need to be more #respectful though, his entire #war is #funded by #countries getting into #debt .
The #eu don't appear to believe in #capitalism at all, not only forcing #ev 's but also now their #charging https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/new-energ.. This makes me believe this #infrastructure will not be #suitable for all people, there's no way they can #compete with a 5 minute fill-up time. This just simply doesn't add up.
Crazy times, #india are #banning their #export of all but one type of #rice to curve lock #inflation https://www.theguardian.com/business/202.. The problem is that this will send #food #inflation through the roof elsewhere around the world.
Looks like we now now run #stablediffusion on quite #minimal #hardware https://github.com/vitoplantamura/OnnxSt.. Very cool!
*This* should be #mandatory #watching for anybody who wants to #discuss #electric #vehicle #ev #cars http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2023/07.. Turns out, as suspected, the #electrical #grid is not ready for them - who would have thought it!
Watched the new #tranformers #film #riseofthebeasts , it was just as #boring as I thought it would be. They really need to do something to #revive the #franchise I think.
Good on the #signal #president #meredithwhittaker for going against the #uk #government on wanting to #spy on #encrypted #messages https://fortune.com/2023/07/13/signal-pr.. *Really* the correct #decision for #signal to take.
