NDP MP Leah Gazan condemns Budget 2026 for cutting $7B from Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous relations. "They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA ," she said. "Rates of violence are increasing, and the PM is turning a blind eye."

SpaceX is building the infrastructure of the future

SpaceX IPO hype reminds me of something very familiar 🤔🤔🤔

I’m done exposing fraud send me to the octagon 💀 @MerabDvalishvil @danawhite

Ferrari's new Luce EV doesn't stand a chance against Lucid's Sapphire - 147 miles less range - 0.51 seconds slower to 60 - 184 less horsepower - $391,000 more expensive - & looks... fishy 😟 Its speed also tops at 193 mph vs 205 Lucid simply makes the best cars, period.

Going to take a walk to my local coffee shop this morning 😊

Puede que sea polémico. Voy a contar una realidad desde mi experiencia personal: Ayer dejé el @Volkswagen ID.4 en el concesionario, para actualizar el software del coche, ya que es una campaña. Tenía la versión 3.7 y me han instalado la 3.8 (que lleva 8 meses liberada y debería ser OTA pero se ve que todavía no). La actualización tarda 5 horas y como no lo tienen en el día te dejan un coche de sustitución. Por otro lado la actualización ha fallado 3 veces pero al final lo han conseguido. En total el coche ha estado en el concesionario unas 30 horas. Y a mí me han dado sin coste un Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI (sorprendente lo que anda para 90cv) Se me ha desconfigurado todo el coche, asientos, luz ambiental, colores/ajustes de la pantalla, etc. tonterías al fin y al cabo. Y en el concesionario F.Tomé me han tratado estupendamente (igual que en sus instalaciones de Audi y de Skoda), ellos no tienen la culpa del sistema ni mucho menos. Por otro lado, antes de ayer me llegó al @Tesla de 2019 la actualización 2026.14.1, se descargó sola, se instaló de madrugada en 35 minutos. Y a la mañana siguiente mi coche estaba como siempre, con alguna función nueva. Paraos a pensar en ambos modelos. ¿Qué coste tiene para VW el tener que recepcionar coches, perder a un técnico 5 horas, sufragar un coche de sustitución (a todo riesgo), me han entregado el coche lavado, cuanta gente involucrada… para tener un retorno directo de 0€? ¿Qué coste tiene para Tesla desplegar un rollout de una actualización? ¿Y para el usuario? En un caso he faltado 1 hora al trabajo ayer. Y he perdido 1 hora hoy para ir a buscar el coche, además de gastar 10€ de gasolina y andar pendiente del teléfono por si me quedaba sin coche el fin de semana. En el otro caso me supuso una notificación en el móvil que decía “actualización disponible, pulse para instalar”. Me es inevitable comparar. Son de esas cosas que como decía @mgarces83 no se ven hasta que no las has vivido, y que parecen tonterías a la hora de decidir por un coche o por otro, pero dicen mucho de cómo se va a definir tu experiencia de uso.

Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. nyti.ms/4bXWC3V

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power water air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.
