A 76-year-old grandmother was killed after a Tesla car crashed through the front of her home in Katy, Texas on Friday.
The 44-year-old driver of the Tesla Model 3 was transported to a local hospital after the incident. The driver told investigators that an automated driving assistance system was engaged at the time of the crash. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether any self-driving feature was active at the time of the crash and the investigation is ongoing.
McGurk, Unrepentant
Biden's top Mideast adviser stands by his diplomatic record, with no regrets on Gaza.
That so many critics only spoke out against him on the condition of anonymity shows how powerful McGurk remains in Washington. https://t.co/kXClRUrY5h
@ManUtd@BMbeumo19 And Liverpool signed 8 players (and almost missed the 9th !) while finishing top of the league. Imagine if they had finished in the 18th spot, what players they would have bought!!
Facebook once bought a VPN app for $120M and turned it into a surveillance tool that spied on 33M+ users' entire phones for years.
This app helped Zuck buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19B and break Snapchat's encryption.

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.
This is absolutely priceless. And probably the most frightening clip you'll ever watch on the people in charge of the US economy.
