ICE's recent guidance, which creates liability for school officials when processing CPT applications and blocks students from CPT work, is not only widely unethical but also going to hurt the economy. Students come here to learn and work, and we value their effort. This is wrong.

Shocked that @InVisionApp is shutting down. I remember using it to share my designs for the first @MyViome app almost a decade ago, and everything else. Thanks for building an amazing tool and making this industry what it is. You will be missed

@elonmusk @Chesschick01 Disney was worth $48B when he took over as CEO; it's now worth $170B. Pixar, LucasFilm, Marvel, and Fox are all part of it because of him. But sure, you're totally right here 😅

Ok so can we all now agree to never do THAT again?

@codeslubber Didn't try the Oura ring? I have it and love it. Find it super accurate when I trialed it with a brain-sensing headband

@kvogt @Cruise Finally! Can I get an invite code to get my mission SF address serviceable? Public beta isn’t in my area yet

For years, Jack Welch has been idolized as the best CEO ever. I think @RobertIger is not only better than Welch, but the best the business world has ever seen. He’s playing a masterful game of chess here https://t.co/iZW5eFeezz

Regardless of all the advancements in data science and AI, Hurricane Ian has proved that yet again, humans are still extremely bad at predicting what is going to happen in the future

If you're feeling frustrated with your data today, I'm here to remind you that drawing inferences from data is hard and slow and by far the most common outcome for all your effort & toil is a resounding ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Happy Thursday!

New @SouthPark is still hilarious, but boy was it expensive. @ViacomCBS signed a $900M contract for 6 seasons (36 shows) and 14 "movies". That's about $14M per half-hour of content. Game of Thrones was a $10-15M/hr episode. Primetime TV is $2-5M max. Worth it??

Tesla just gamified safe driving. Feedback loop = safety score. Reward = FSD beta. Result: 30% less likely to have a crash just for using the safety score feature. Wow.

@elonmusk Sure, I made mistakes when I was younger. But now that I am older, I’ve learned how to make different, often far more serious mistakes.

@campuscodi Because of missing DNS records for https://t.co/ktSdD2E73z, every device with FB app is now DDoSing recursive DNS resolvers. And it may cause overloading ... https://t.co/uuTxUp9Hdh

@WessieHale @AP They're actually not white, which I agree is extremely rare... They're Moorish Sovereign Citizens...

On ransomware, why are things so bad? h/t @ciaranmartinoxf
1) security posture of businesses making it too easy for the bad guys.
2) it's a profitable business model w/ low barriers to entry.
3) no meaningful consequences against the criminals or their hosts to date.

[James Costantini @jcostantini]

@TMackenty @Tesla @elonmusk Agreed. Even at home it would take 16-18 hours to charge the LR model. That’s why merging with Tesla could change everything.

[James Costantini @jcostantini]

Why don’t @Ford and @Tesla just merge to create a new generation of America auto giants? @jimfarley98 is a huge SpaceX nerd, so he would probably let @elonmusk be chairman if he can run day to day. Best of both worlds coming together… unions and investors alike would thrive.
