This Wired article once again perpetuates the inaccuracy that we turned off Starlink for Ukraine when they wanted to launch an attack on the Russian fleet. Starlink was barred from turning on satellite beams in Crimea at the time, because doing so would violate US sanctions against Russia! We received an unexpected request in the middle of the night to activate Starlink in Crimea in a matter of a few hours from the Ukraine government, but received no request or permission to override sanctions from the US government. Had we done as Ukraine asked, it would have been a felony violation of US law. We also make it clear in our terms of use that Starlink is a commercial system, not a military system. Use of Starlink for communications, including military communications, is fine, just like the military uses the Internet in general, but if we deliberately engage in explicit acts of war, then we are making Starlink a military system and other countries have every right to shoot down our satellites. wired.com/story/us-navy-star…

Everyone wants the view from the top, but no one wants the climb.

ESG is a corrupted lie. It needs to end.

For iOS developers struggling with view models that have become overly complex with too many dependencies, here's an article that I wrote that suggests a solution. medium.com/@robvs_33920/brea…

.@AdamRifkin, I love your work on Detroit Rock City. Great movie! Saw it last night (5th time) at Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids, MI. Growing up here, I actually knew people who believed KISS meant Knights (or Kids) In Satan's Service. And thanks for recording an intro for us🙏🏻

Hey @atomicobject, I'm reading @tfadell's #BUILD & came across this, "The job [of CEO] is to give a shit ... When you give a shit, you care, you don't leet up until you're satisfied..." Reminded me of the core value you've espoused since the beginning.

Had a great time at @teslaownersmi summer event and it was great to meet @CorySteuben, @4Kpodcast & @DirtyTesLa. They’re awesome!

Being a Mom is a real job that deserves major respect

The fate of the #Babylon5 pilot may be decided end of this month. Though much of @TheCW was bought by @NXSTMediaGroup the decision also rests heavily with @WarnerbrosTV. If fans want to show their support for B5 & let them know you want this to happen, now is the time #B5onCWin23

Steve Jobs has had many words of wisdom. Here’s a collection. stevejobsarchive.com

.@UPS used to be the best - now they’re the worst. I watched the delivery truck fly right past my house and mark me a “Delivery Attempted”. I also really miss tracking the truck’s route to my house.

CNBC may have a 40 minute time horizon, but ARK's is 5 years. Thanks for having us on @CNBC, we're happy to pay for your upgraded Zoom account. You can't be a knowledge worker without it! 😉

The description of Waterfall brought me back to my start in software - the 90’s. I lived it back then, and frighteningly, lived it as recently as a month ago. At least back then I didn’t know there was a better way.

How it started How it’s going

Great quote from @elonmusk during @Erdayastronaut tour of Starbase - “Possibly the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist.”

My last WWDC was in 2007. Apple had announced the iPhone but hadn’t released it yet. I Joined a small group of UMich students for a face-to-face with Tony Fadell. Apple security was so tight he wasn’t allowed to bring his iPhone into the building.

Your research as a private individual is better than professionals @WSJ! Data logs recovered so far show Autopilot was not enabled & this car did not purchase FSD. Moreover, standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have.
