☆ I visited the Grand Canyon during low season. The gorgeous views and lack of crowds made up for the colder weather.

The Grand Canyon is popular, so I visited in February to avoid the busy summer months. Temperatures were brisk, but I still experienced the stunning views and trails of the national park. download the app Email address Sign up By clicking “Sign Up”, you accept our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . But Grand Canyon National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the United States, and it gets especially crowded in the summer months. By visiting during the offseason, I was hoping to avoid crowds while still getting the Grand Canyon experience.

☆ A Silicon Valley tech investor's wedding at a famous Utah landmark left the site completely trashed, council member says

A Silicon Valley investor's wedding at a natural Utah landmark was larger than he initially let on. The Bureau of Land Management eventually had to clean up leftover trash and abandoned property. AdvertisementGibson wrote a letter to the Bureau of Land Management asking about the event and sharing her photos. But rangers with the agency eventually had to collect "abandoned property and refuse," according to the outlet, which cited the land management email. Gibson and other town officials are now asking the Bureau of Land Management to keep such receptions from happening in the future.

☆ Wells Fargo, a juicy target, sparks lead counsel fight among shareholder firms

Meanwhile, yet another plaintiffs' firm, Robbins, is deep into a similar derivative suit against Wells Fargo board members in San Francisco Superior Court. But it’s worth noting that in 2022, Wells Fargo won the dismissal of a previous shareholder derivative suit accusing the board of regulatory compliance failures. Kessler said its complaint, which includes "detailed" and "substantial" references to Wells Fargo internal documents, was more likely to withstand a dismissal motion from the bank. Scott + Scott told Tigar that it had the most up-to-date documents from Wells Fargo because it brought a Section 220 demand after the $3.7 billion CFPB agreement. I would not be surprised to see a rival derivative suit filed in Delaware Chancery Court by one of the shareholder firms spurned by Tigar.

☆ Curbing Contrails: A Climate Solution in the Skies
  + stars: | 2023-08-08 | by ( David Gelles | More About David Gelles | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Case in point: contrails, those wispy white lines that trail some airplanes flying high in the sky. Contrails, short for condensation trails, are produced when exhaust from jets mixes with water vapor at extremely high altitudes, forming minuscule ice particles. Scientists have known for decades that in some cases, contrails spread out across huge areas, trapping heat in the atmosphere. Yet studies have estimated that contrails are responsible for as much as 35 percent of all of the planetary warming attributable to aviation. “We now know enough about contrails and their impact to know we need to do something about it,” said Andrew Chen of RMI, a nonprofit that promotes sustainability.

☆ Fact Check- Image does not show ‘last Neanderthal giant’
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
A fabricated image of a giant man towering above a crowd of people is being shared alongside false claims that it shows the “last Neanderthal giant”, but the image was likely generated using artificial intelligence, experts said. A Facebook post sharing the image states: “This is the last know human Giant Neanderthal!” and adds that Neanderthals “died out” thousands of years ago, so “no Neanderthal's DNA is found in modern times” (here). Contrary to the online claims, Neanderthal DNA has been extracted from these skeletal remains and analysed extensively. The earliest version of the image of a purported “Neanderthal giant” that Reuters could find appears on the official subreddit for Midjourney, an AI-based system that generates images based on text prompts entered by users (bit.ly/423OozQ). The image does not show the last Neanderthal giant, it is likely AI-generated.
☆ Fact Check-Image purporting to show Donald Trump mugshot is AI-generated
  + stars: | 2023-04-05 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
An image purporting to show a mugshot of former U.S. President Donald Trump is AI-generated. The image seemingly shows Trump pictured in front of a mugshot wall wearing a black t-shirt. The size of the shoulders similarly does not match “the familiar size and build of the highly-photographed former president,” he added. External context can be “just as important as the details in the image itself in ascertaining the validity of an image,” Chen told Reuters. The image is AI-generated and does not show an authentic mugshot of Trump.
☆ Elon Musk's Crackdown at Twitter Offers Hope to Fellow Tech Founders
  + stars: | 2022-12-19 | by ( Melia Russell | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
But there's one group, almost unnoticed in the midst of the online firestorm, that has been cheering Musk on from the sidelines: other tech executives. To some founders, Musk is simply a monstrous version of the executive they wish they could be. Musk is getting rid of perks like free meals in the Twitter cafeteria — and other tech executives are taking note. Musk's slash-and-burn approach gives tech executives cover for making unpopular decisions. But now, as tech companies cut back to prepare for a recession, the "rough waters out there" have forced his staff to "reevaluate" their demands.
☆ Substack is having a moment, again. But can the startup live up to its massive $650 million valuation?

He provided a place where readers could find him "in case the bird app spirals into oblivion": his Substack newsletter. The epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding began promoting his Substack newsletter to his 722,000 Twitter followers in early November. They have been a welcome addition, Substack writers say. Substack has also recently rolled out mentions and cross-reporting functions, where writers can mention other Substack writers and share existing posts with their audiences. The irony, of course, is that many Substack writers rely on their Twitter audiences to promote their posts.
