@solar_rights We need to know who is voting and supporting for this initiative so we can vote them out with a clear and focused message

[Solar Rights Alliance @solar_rights]

🤔Yes, you read that right: the California monopoly utilities want to charge solar users who add more panels a "departing load charge."

In other words, they want to charge us MORE money if we use LESS of their product. 😡

Take a listen to the full podcast at the link below, and tell us what you think in the comments.

Sometimes I say things so profound that people that it’s stupid.

☀️ The sun belongs to everyone! ☀️

Many thanks to Ramon Torres for sharing his story with us and encouraging others to stand up together to defend the right to make energy from the sun.

Legislators are trying to ram through AB 942, the bill that would break two million solar contracts. The CA Assembly will vote on this bad bill soon, and the people of California are pushing back! NO on AB 942 as amended!

🚨Please share with three friends who need to know! 🚨

[Doug Fields @dougfields01]

Agreed, and active participation in our government

The only thing that will save us
is a blue wave.

Several years ago, when we started pursuing building our own chips, a lot of folks thought this was nuts. We heard a lot of the same refrains you often hear—why make this investment, why invest in a team and all the other fixed costs to develop your own chip when you can buy from other suppliers? And, while we knew we’d partner with those other companies for the foreseeable future, if your customers are telling you they’re thirsty for better price-performance, and you’re driven by what makes customers’ lives better and easier every day, you explore options to make it so.

We realized pretty quickly that designing our own chips was going to be the best path to delivering this value for customers. We were lucky to find and join forces with the amazing Annapurna Labs team, who started with a chip (named Nitro) that offloaded security, networking, and some other virtualization functions from our servers so customers could use more of the server than they could before. Then, that team built a generalized CPU chip, Graviton, which has been very popular and impactful for customers, before embarking on building custom AI chips—Trainium (for training) and Inferentia (for inference)—which are also off to a strong start.

Am very excited about our most recent chip releases at AWS re: Invent: Graviton4 and Trainium2. Graviton4 marks the fourth generation we’ve delivered in just five years (you can see the evolution from left to right in the image below), and it’s the most powerful and energy efficient multipurpose chip we have built to date. And with the surge of interest in generative AI, Trainium2 will help customers train their ML models faster, at a more advantaged price-performance. I’m really proud of the pace of innovation our teams are delivering on and what it is making possible for customers! https://t.co/yxP2Cotz8D

Many of you told us that ETL (extract, transform, and load) is a "...thankless, unsustainable black hole." We heard you! I am delighted to share the general availability of Amazon Aurora MySQL zero-ETL integration with Amazon Redshift. No more data pipelines. Near real-time analytics. Data-driven decision making just got a whole lot easier. Stay tuned for more #zeroETL news!

@RpsAgainstTrump Agreed. Repeated attempts to intimate witnesses means jail time .. Chutkan needs to put Trump behind bars else we lose faith in the justice system

BREAKING: In a devastating speech, iconic actor Robert De Niro rips Donald Trump to shreds, declaring that Trump is “not a bad man,” but “an evil one” who is a “wanna be tough guy” and has “no morals or ethics.”

But Robert De Niro didn’t stop there…

De Niro continued:

“Trump has no sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So, today I issue another warning.

From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:

This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  We have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House.  They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.” 

“Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it.  Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity.  Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world.  Safety for our families.  Decency.  Let’s welcome them back.  We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump.”

Well said, Robert De Niro!

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Robert De Niro for calling out Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

Time to break out our Geiger counters, iodine pills and read/pray with our family Bible. BTW, prayer comes first.

@EdKrassen The U.S. military machine is full speed ahead towards WW3. Not one world leader seems to want peace. This won’t end well

[Doug Fields @dougfields01]

Agreed. I would add to vote 100% Dem or Ind. The Republicans will say anything to get your vote, but will fall in line with their conservative backers when in office.

If you don't live in Israel or consume Israeli media, you don't know who Yair Golan is. He is a 61-year-old retired Major General in the Israel army and a former parliament MP. Spend a minute to read this story.

Yesterday, when IDF and the police were in complete chaos, Golan put on his old uniform, took his weapon, and drove into the war zone multiple times to rescue civilians under fire. He rescued two young adults hiding under a bush after 260 of their friends were murdered at an outdoor party. He answered a call from a journalist that his son was hiding under fire and simply said, "Give me his location, and I will bring him back home." An hour later, the son called his father from Golan's car.

Golan collected a small crew and went in and out of the war zone, rescuing dozens of people while exchanging fire with Hamas terrorists. He is 61, he could have stayed home, but he chose to risk his life for people he does not know.

Golan is one of the strongest voices from the Israeli left and was constantly attacked by the right wing in Israel. But when the time came, he was first fighting the barbaric attack. The same brain wiring that supports peace, is often the same wiring that drives people to do the right thing.

A true hero.
