🇵🇹 Carta aberta ao Governo de Portugal
@LMontenegroPSD@Leitao_Amaro@miguelluz
Senhor Primeiro-Ministro Luís Montenegro, Senhor Ministro António Leitão Amaro, Senhor Ministro Miguel Pinto Luz,
Escrevo como alguém que escolheu Portugal para viver. Tenho um pedido simples: tragam o Tesla FSD (Supervised) para Portugal.
A 10 de abril, os Países Baixos foram o primeiro país europeu a aprovar o sistema, depois de 18 meses de testes independentes da autoridade RDW. Em dois meses, a Lituânia, a Estónia, a Dinamarca e a Bélgica seguiram o exemplo. Nenhum destes países repetiu os testes. Reconheceram a homologação neerlandesa ao abrigo do quadro europeu (UN R-171) e aprovaram com base nos dados que já existem.
Os resultados falam por si: nos Países Baixos, cerca de 40.000 Teslas já percorreram 24 milhões de quilómetros sem incidentes relevantes, segundo a própria RDW. Os carros com FSD registaram 3,5 vezes menos colisões do que a condução manual.
E é aqui que isto deixa de ser sobre tecnologia e passa a ser sobre vidas. Só este ano já morreram mais de 220 pessoas nas estradas portuguesas, mais 25% do que no ano passado. Portugal está acima da média europeia na mortalidade rodoviária. A ANSR diz que as principais causas são humanas: velocidade, álcool, distração. Um sistema que nunca se distrai, nunca bebe e nunca adormece evita mortes que vão acontecer com condutores humanos. O próprio Governo chamou à sinistralidade uma chaga social. Esta é uma forma concreta de a combater.
Portugal pode fazer o mesmo que a Dinamarca e a Bélgica: o IMT analisa o dossier da RDW e aprova. Não custa nada ao Estado e coloca Portugal à frente da Alemanha, da França e da Espanha.
Há 500 anos, Portugal liderou o mundo numa nova tecnologia: a navegação. Partiu à frente de todos e deu novos mundos ao mundo. Portugal pode voltar a estar na fronteira de uma nova tecnologia e liderar como fez há 500 anos. Cada mês de espera custa vidas. Basta decidir.
Com admiração e respeito,

Tragically, the lyrics are of real-life struggles of Doug Hopkins, who was deeply tangled in depression and alcoholism. Hopkins was eventually fired from the band just before the Gin Blossoms success and took his own life in 1993
“Hey Jealousy” is from Gin Blossoms’ 1992 album New Miserable Experience. Built around jangly guitars, the song turned heartbreak and regret into an alternative-rock hit. It became the band’s biggest success, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100.
@BlueBoxDave The less I write by hand, the worse my handwriting gets, to the point I often can't figure out what I wrote.
I'm trying to handwrite as quick as I type, which creates havoc.
@BlueBoxDave David - I can tell you AI is automating a boatload of office work and we are in the early innings. I’ve seen some impressive stuff and most of it created by folks who just learned to use it a few months ago.
@JesseMeehl@TalkinTwins I was using that as a joke to say where do you draw the line of going back and changing the box score. For the Galarraga game, I guess they would rule it an out, and end of game. But not in favor of it.
@JesseMeehl@TalkinTwins Here's the video. 2 out in the ninth, and batter is out at first base, but umpire called the batter out.

@claudiashandi I always say that sports attracts all types of poeple. Smart & Classy, Trash & Dumb.
This Argentinian fan should be applauding the Cape Verde team, a country with 500,000 people playing a country with 46 million people into extra time. Outstanding.
I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
We must demand the immediate release of the bodycam footage from the recent unlawful arrest in Birmingham.
The handling of this incident is a blatant failure of duty, as the arresting officer targeted the white male as the aggressor despite the clear reality of the situation.
It is impossible that the officer did not see the two black males actively attacking him before charging in to make the arrest.
@BrumPolice are now requesting people stop sharing the footage.
The police have learned nothing from the death of Henry Nowak.

Shame on you @BrumPolice you have failed your city.
