Great reporting by @nytimes. The US Commerce Dept was approving sales of Nvidia chips to companies in China which either did not exist, were on the sanctions list, and/or had ties to China's military. A brief visit by journalists in China found that two of the offices were just empty shells. Was Jensen Huang a "victim" of a honey trap or was he just trying to make as much money as possible? Was his $25 million donation to Trump's ballroom the price of pay to play? In the US - China tech competition, has the Commerce Dept been co-opted by other interests?

1/2 Non è ben chiaro cos'è successo ieri sera nel quartiere della movida di Mosca, Kitay Gorod, quindi mi limito ai fatti: centinaia di ragazzi sono stati caricati e portati in varie caserme, qualcuno è stato picchiato, altri hanno ricevuto l'ordine di presentarsi al segue>>

Oooohhh, this made the Polish nationalists and their far-right friends abroad BIG MAD. Nothing triggers the far-right more than challenging their fantasies about Poland.

Russian security forces launch crackdown on alternative youth and “alt girls” A heavy-handed police raid involving mass arrests took place in Moscow’s Kitay-Gorod district, a popular gathering spot for young people from alternative subcultures. Between 100 and 300 people were detained, including minors. Those old enough to serve were handed military draft notices and forced to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defence. Detainees reported being beaten and forced to wait for hours without access to water or toilets. Neither the children nor their parents were given any explanation for what was happening. Only after the story attracted widespread media attention did police issue a brief statement, describing the raid as “preventive measures”. Just a reminder of what kind of country they live in.

Sooner rather than later it might be worth discussing the strategic implications of scenarios in which the President of a great power and his closest backers in business and tech elites have gone insane
NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president. “America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.” He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…

NEW!! Ukraine is cheering U.S. FinCEN’s crackdown on crypto exchange MEXC Global, calling it a major blow to Russia’s sanctions evasion. Kyiv’s top sanctions official highlights the platform's alleged $1.5B in illicit flows tied to networks like Garantex, Grinex, and A7.
Masters who knowingly sail sanctioned shadow-fleet tankers are not victims. They are part of the scheme that funds Russia's war. The UK move on MT Smyrtos is the right signal. Ukraine has long called for sanctioning such captains. Others must follow.

"Salta all’occhio che ci sono 14 miliardi di spesa militare in più, mentre si taglia ancora una volta sulla sanità pubblica" No, salta all'occhio che con simili bugie il livello del dibattito pubblico/politico di questo Paese non potrà mai crescere. gds.it/articoli/politica/202…

Just got a Starlink service fee increase notice. I'm a new customer north of Fairbanks, Alaska. Exhausted every other high-speed internet option. Starlink was the only choice. Paid the $1,500 activation fee. Now they're raising the monthly rate within a few months. Absurd. Contractually allowed or not, this is horrible customer service for people with no alternatives. @Starlink

Nel mentre il CEO di Nvidia se la faceva con una spia cinese a cui vendeva i chip attraverso una società cinese fantoccio mentre spingeva la Casa Bianca a togliere i ban sugli export. Com'era? Tira più un pelo...

On your 2020 “Battery Day” you said the Cybertruck had 500k to 600k orders and Tesla has stopped counting. In May 2021 “reservations” exceeded one million. On Fox Business May 2022, “We have more orders of the first Cybertrucks than we could possibly fulfill for three years after the start of production.” Total sales? 70,700.
The Tesla Cybertruck order backlog is currently far more than we can make before dismantling the line for Cybercab expansion around June/July next year. We will add an extra shift to try to get all orders done in time.

This is so insanely and completely and bizarrely stupid that you know this is exactly what must have happened
Apparently there’s a lady named Dana White who is an DoD public affairs assistant and I guarantee you someone recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White and nobody is allowed to correct him lol

Remember that it was Dana White who introduced Don Jr to Umar Kremlev, the RU intelligence linked oligarch who sponsored his wedding (before he was outed). Imagine if he had accepted.

I got @Starlink last week for $130 a month. I spent a full day getting it installed and all my devices working with it. I get an email less than a week later saying my plan is increasing to $156. You're telling me you offer me a plan, make me drill holes in my home, and then raise the price less than a week later? Even Comcast doesn't do that. I have options luckily, but this is so disappointing.

BREAKING!! Senator Blumenthal is moving to capitalize on what he calls a post-election boost for Ukraine, pushing new legislation to restore sanctions on Russia, expand military aid and air defenses for Ukraine, and establish public-interest controls over Starlink/Starshield.
