Tesla convicted 18 times and ordered to pay thousands for failing to help UK police with investigations

In each case, when British police officers tried to track down the details of speeding Tesla drivers, their letters went unanswered and the forces ended up prosecuting the company itself

(EDIT: these cars are owned by Tesla and leased. Cops want to know who was driving at the time of the offense, Tesla wouldn't/couldn't tell them, so got fined.)

Chef Nadella warnt davor, dass der Tulpen-Markt komplett einbrechen koennte, wenn die Menschen nicht endlich anfangen Tulpen zu kaufen!

Jap, irrer wird es heute nicht mehr. Es ist EURE Schuld, dass die AI-Blase platzen wird, weil ihr nicht schnell genug die Microsoft-Copiloten, von denen es inzwischen wohl min. ein Dutzend gibt, in euer Leben lasst.

In der Hoffnung, dass ihr weiterhin alle so stabil bleibt!

Ein Screenshot eines englischsprachigen Nachrichtenartikels mit der Schlagzeile „Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns AI boom could falter without wider adoption“. Der Untertitel führt aus, dass der Microsoft-Chef auf dem Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos („Big tech boss tells delegates at Davos...“) eine breitere globale Nutzung der Technologie als essenziell für dauerhaftes Wachstum bezeichnet. Das Artikelbild zeigt Satya Nadella in einem schwarzen Pullover und mit Brille, der in einem weißen Sessel vor einer blauen Rückwand mit den Logos des World Economic Forum sitzt und zur Seite blickt.

The Minneapolis General Strike, regardless of how successful it turns out to be, is already historic in several ways:

*It's the first General Strike in the U.S. in 80 years.

*It is supported by dozens of mainstream and relatively conservative unions, including the AFL-CIO.

This is significant because General Strikes were made illegal by the Taft-Hartley law that was written after the last one, the Oakland General Strike of 1946. Since then, the mainstream unions have been terrified of the legal consequences and haven't even entertained the thought.

That so many mainstream unions are supporting this General Strike tells us just how terrible conditions are right now in Minneapolis, and the U.S. as a whole, that they feel the legal consequences pale in comparison to the existential threat that Trump's Gestapo and his authoritarian rule pose for us all.

However, to really end fascism in the U.S., it will take more than a 1-day General Strike in just one city. Prolonged General Strikes across the country could achieve this goal. But that should not be the only goal. Because once workers have shut down the profit system for the rich, they can demand, and win, so much more. General Strikes have the potential to become revolutionary.

It is sad that so many liberals, and even many leftists, have been calling for a return to the pre-Trump status quo that was so miserable for the poor and working-class, that supported genocide and U.S. imperialism around the globe, that allowed people to go bankrupt or die of neglect due to the costs of healthcare, that did so little to slow down the climate crisis, that allowed so many marginalized communities to suffer violence and disrespect.

We should be fighting for more. Far more. And hopefully what happens in Minneapolis today will be successful and just the beginning of the start of this.

@lcamtuflcamtuf :verified: :verified: :verified: it occurs to me that part selection (i.e. how to choose a fet) might be an interesting topic. Partially because there are billions of parts available, partially because everyone has different needs, but I'm sure there's stuff that, as an amateur hobbyist, I am missing.

"It’s a good Friday to miss work.

Today, we will see the closest thing to a general strike in the United States since 1946. Much of Minnesota will simply say, 'Hell, no,' to the lawless, vicious, and absurdly unnecessary assault on their neighbors by the Trump regime's Department of Homeland Security."

The AUSD Rainbow Roundtable is producing a video of LGBTQ+ students in the district to tell their stories of the challenges they face in the school community.

This video will be used by the district as part of teacher training.

They are 35% of the way to their goal of $4k.

Edit: I'll be matching up to $2k there are $1400 of matching funds left.

The ICE situation in Minneapolis demonstrates the dangers of database software combined with pattern recognition and meta-data surveillance such as phone data. I'm sad and disgusted that clear danger to democratic society is not recognized by the general public on scale. Palantir is able to convince German federal officials and parliaments to buy their systems. the same technology that is core component of ICE's executive power abuse.

The double-sad is that even if this is discussed at all, 'sovereignity' seems to be the frame. 'Should we even do it at all?' doesn't exist as a question.

This get's even more substantial with the reminder that Holleriths punch cards have been used in Nazi-Germany for automating racial persecution as laid out in Edwin Blacks 2001 'IBM and the Holocaust' from where this illustration is taken - a punchcard of the Amt für Rassenkunde
