Real reason that Europe is cracking down hard on social media is that they don’t want returning football fans to talk about Buc-ee’s.
Like the USSR was suspicious of anybody who came back from a visit to the west. They saw too much.
Tens of thousands of @FIFAWorldCup fans used public transit to leave Santa Clara after Tuesday's late-night match. Thirty minutes after the match ended at 11:08 p.m., the lines stretched down Tasman Drive coming toward the Lick Mill station.
@garcegarce@wennmachers You're one of a kind @garcegarce - a true pro at your craft, a straight shooter, always willing to help someone out, and a great friend! Gonna miss you!
During the major ground campaign in Europe from June 1944 to May 1945, Allied forces laid an estimated 2 million miles of communication wire. A significant portion of it was dispensed from C-47 aircraft flying low over the battlefield as ground units advanced.
This remains one of the more unusual solutions developed to maintain communications during rapid advances.
Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly
History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.
That the world’s first trillionaire is an immigrant to the United States who arrived with little, slept on floors, worked 100-hour weeks, & built companies now employing the population of Savannah, Georgia, will be entirely lost on the bitter arithmetic of envy and economic ignorance masquerading as egalitarianism.
Now, as always: markets and entrepreneurship for the win.
Sad and pathetic to see the envy from the left. What @elonmusk has added to human civilization cannot be accurately valued. And it was only possible because the American capitalist system that the left wants to destroy is the only system that provides the incentives for entrepreneurs like Elon to take the incredible risk of starting and building mankind-changing companies. https://t.co/mw9T1O9Qtk
@BernieSanders Lead the way @BernieSanders. Set the example by turning over the wealth you've accumulated from accomplishing nothing. Start with the millions in real estate that were purchased as your payoff to dropping out of the 2016 and 2020 presidential primaries.
Between Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and other initiatives it's hard to imagine anyone who has done more in recent history to advance humanity and improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people than Elon Musk.
@SenWarren No we don't. The return on the invested capital both financially and for the advancement of mankind is far greater in the hands of our nation's great entrepreneurs than leeches like you who take and don't make.
