I smell bullshit

He has a problem: he can not finish the job as long as Iran and Israel stick to the ceasefire.

It is indeed baffling that immigrants worked all this time for slave wages under slavery conditions. USA is full of people taking advantage of others. It is not just Trump, it is the 50% of the population that is anti-social psychopathic sociopath.

Some excerpts:

Catherine Shu, a senior reporter at Techcrunch between 2012 and 2024, wrote on Linkedin that she was “shocked by the cruelty of making a post like this weeks after laying off the entire Europe team”.

Robin Wauters, who worked at Techcrunch between 2008 and 2012 and later co-founded Tech.eu, said the site “is, in fact, very much retreating. And it isn’t (and won’t) be doubling down. Benefit of experience is that you can detect that bullshit a mile away… Don’t buy into it, folks.”

John Biggs, editor-at-large at Techcrunch until 2018, wrote: “Europeans: don’t believe this guy. He’s not actually part of TC and he fired literally the best tech/startup news team in the business so he could get cheaper writers. Don’t read their coverage and don’t offer interviews. TC’s value is way down and it will have no material benefit.”

Tech journalist Andrii Degeler said: “To me, the latest update on Techcrunch Europe sounds like classic PE: trying to find ‘synergies’ and ‘efficiencies’ in all the wrong places… Turns out, Regent expects to somehow substitute the European coverage previously done by the in-house team at TC with that of PCWorld, MacWorld, CIO, TechAdvisor, etc.”

It is a game: When Russel nearly crashed into Verstappen because Verstappen was driving slow during an out-lap and Russel increased speed in his out-lap, Russel acted up in the stewards room with the end-result being a penalty for Verstappen. Verstappen later said he had never experienced such behavior of a fellow driver in the stewards room and he blamed Russel for his penalty.

Yesterday’s protest was just a lame attempt by RedBull to show the inconsistency in stewarding. Whether they succeeded and whether it is hypocritical does not matter. They are trying to influence the stewards to decide more favorable for RB in future events.

This is an unreliable publication. AI Detector (https://gptzero.me/) reports 100% written by AI. That means the 15% drop is probably a lie.

USA asked and got help to fight their wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, …

Show the proof Elon! Your DOGE had access to just about everything, now we need to see what you found.

No. That assumption is incorrect. At the equator there is little loss due to the atmosphere. Moving toward the poles, the atmosphere blocks more and more radiation.

Due to rotation of the earth, the effect becomes even stronger. And at the poles there is for a long period of the year even zero sunlight. .

Also note, the best area is not necessarily directly on the equator, because photovoltaic solar panels produce less energy at higher temperatures. Best place: a cool site, on a high mountain, somewhere in the tropics.
