☆ Analyst likes these 4 EV stocks — and says one is 'head and shoulders' above others
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Lee Ying Shan | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The electric vehicle market is still a "long way" from a shakeout, according to consulting firm Sino Auto Insights. China's EV market has been roiled by Tesla 's aggressive price cuts and the country's government ended subsidies for EV buyers. But Sino Auto Insights' managing director, Tu Le, is still bullish on EV giant Tesla and its Chinese counterpart BYD. "BYD has still been able to be head and shoulders above everyone else, and not only in the Chinese market, but they're the number one brand for EVs in Israel and Thailand," he said. Other bright spots Tu acknowledges that Tesla and BYD are the EV market's top two players, but sees promise in some emerging ones.
☆ A mysterious object has been spotted that is 10 million times brighter than the sun. Scientists can't work out why it hasn't exploded

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) are objects that shine ten million times brighter than the sun. NASA has been tracking so-called ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX), impossible objects that can be 10 million times brighter than the sun, to understand how they work. A new study categorically confirms that M82 X-2, a ULX 12 million light-years away, is as bright as previous observation suggested it to be. But if it were not falling in, the matter shouldn't be radiating, which means the object shouldn't be that bright. (A neutron star is a superdense object left behind when a star has run out of energy and dies.)

Lionel Messi was suspended by Paris St Germain for two weeks after making an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia. Photo: Martin Rickett/Zuma PressPARIS—Paris Saint-Germain’s players were still reeling from a shocking defeat to Lorient when they turned up to practice on Monday, only to find that the world’s best soccer player hadn’t bothered to join them. Lionel Messi, it turned out, was thousands of miles away in Saudi Arabia carrying out his duties for the Saudi Tourism Authority, which pays him a reported $30 million a year to serve as a public ambassador for the Kingdom. PSG, the club that pays him around $40 million a year to help it win trophies and sell jerseys, had no idea he’d made the trip.
☆ Everything You Need to Know About the Debt Ceiling
  + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( Alan Rappeport | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Washington is heading for another big fight over whether to raise or suspend the nation’s debt limit, which caps the amount of money the federal government can borrow to pay its bills. Republicans are demanding that an increase in the borrowing limit be accompanied by spending cuts and other cost savings. President Biden has said he will oppose any attempt to tie spending cuts to raising the debt ceiling, increasing the likelihood of a protracted standoff. Here is what you need to know about the debt limit and what happens if no deal can be reached:What is the debt limit? The debt limit is a cap on the total amount of money that the United States is authorized to borrow to fund the government and meet its financial obligations.
☆ Humans have to get in the way of AI to make it more responsible
  + stars: | 2023-04-17 | by ( Emilia David | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Humans are key to responsible AI. Calls to pause AI development centered around the need to make sure we were building responsible AI. But some Big Tech companies laid off responsible AI employees as part of the great cost-cutting sweeping the industry, possibly undermining the greatest tool against unfettered, unchecked AI. Those moves come right as society has come to understand what can happen if AI escapes its guardrails, making AI ethics more important than ever. Here's why humans will help bring responsible AI to fruition.
☆ Artificial intelligence may have just given astronomers a better idea of what black holes really look like
  + stars: | 2023-04-14 | by ( Aaron Mcdade | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Researchers released a new, clearer image of what they believe the M87 black hole looks like. They developed a machine learning algorithm to provide clearer images of the black hole first released in 2019. The algorithm used data from thousands of simulated black holes to fill in gaps of data that created the 2019 images. The new images, published Thursday in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, could provide important information for scientists studying the M87 black hole and others in the future, researchers said. "Since we cannot study black holes up-close, the detail of an image plays a critical role in our ability to understand its behavior."
☆ 4 reasons why a Trump indictment could be gold for Biden, and 1 reason it’s worrying
  + stars: | 2023-03-18 | by ( Nicole Gaudiano | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
If an indictment doesn't cost Trump the GOP primary, it would hover over his general election campaign. "Anything that's good for Trump in a Republican primary is also good for Biden," Bannon said. And it's unclear whether Trump is the weaker opponent or if he can even win enough support from GOP primary voters to become the nominee. Democrats say they also welcome a nasty Republican primary, especially when Biden is expected to run without any significant opposition. The downside: Cutting through 'noise' could be hardIt's possible that a Trump indictment would make Americans so sick of the entire political system that "they say 'Screw this,'" Bannon said.

NEW YORK, Feb 20 (Reuters) - U.S. singer-songwriter P!NK says her new album TRUSTFALL is all about the messiness and beauty of life. The "So What" and "Raise your Glass" chart-topper, whose real name is Alecia Moore, released her ninth studio album on Friday, celebrating the event with an intimate acoustic performance in New York.

GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna may have misrepresented her religious background. She says she was raised as a Messianic Jew by her father, but relatives dispute that. Luna also claims to be Hispanic, but registered to vote as "White, not of Hispanic origin" in 2015. But according to three relatives who spoke with the Post, her father, George Mayerhofer, was Catholic, and they were unaware of him practicing any form of Judaism. One relative, Jolanta Mayerhofer, told the Post that Heinrich Mayerhofer had no choice in the matter.

Before and after screenshots of the House Judiciary Committee's homepage. While Gaetz was also part of that speaker vote rebellion, he initially seemed to emerge with little to show for the procedural showdown. When asked if he felt weird about all the other rebels seemingly climbing the ladder, Gaetz told Insider he preferred not to be saddled with more responsibility — proclaiming that he was "making back benching great again."

Marie Kondo says that her life is messier with three kids. Like many other parents before her, Kondo has realized that the pressure to keep a house clean can be at odds with sparking joy in parenthood. "Sometimes there's a negative stigma out there that it's not ok to have a clean house when you have kids," she said. "I felt validated, in some ways, by Marie Kondo supporting that a clean, organized space is beneficial for mental health," she said. Sometimes, more kids means going to bed with a clean house rather than having one all day, but that's still important to Myers.
☆ Factbox: How top Mafia boss Messina Denaro escaped justice for 30 years
  + stars: | 2023-01-18 | by ( Alvise Armellini | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
ROME, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Matteo Messina Denaro, a brutal Sicilian Mafia boss who was Italy's most wanted criminal before his capture on Monday, had been on the run for 30 years. Messina Denaro, 60, was the last runaway member of a generation of mobsters who masterminded a string of bombings and murders that terrorised Italy in the early 1990s. Nobody knows for sure, but there have long been suspicions that Messina Denaro had his back covered by politicians and other establishment connections. Crime writer Roberto Saviano has pointed out that a former junior justice minister, Antonio D'Ali, has been convicted for collusion with the Messina Denaro family. Messina Denaro was eventually caught outside a clinic in Palermo after police discovered he was sick with cancer.
☆ Fact Check-No evidence of family link between Messi and Nazi Bohne
  + stars: | 2023-01-03 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
No evidence supports a rumor that Argentinian soccer star Lionel Messi is related to Gerhard Bohne, a Nazi who was extradited from Argentina in the 1960s. There is no evidence of close or distant family links to Bohne. Journalists Guillem Balagué (here) and Luca Caioli (lucacaioli.com/libros/messi/), who have both written biographies of Messi, told Reuters the rumor about Bohne is unfounded. Caioli said the Messi family is from the Italian region of Marche and that claims regarding a purported link to Bohne “do not add up.”Messi’s representative declined to provide a comment on the claim. There is no evidence of a family connection between Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Nazi Gerhard Bohne.
☆ Stopping the stars won't be enough to win World Cup
  + stars: | 2022-12-17 | by ( Mitch Phillips | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
DOHA, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Despite the high profile performances of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in Qatar, Argentina and France can create danger all over the pitch, so stopping the superstars is only one battle in Sunday's World Cup final war. England were quick to double-team Mbappe whenever he picked up the ball and Argentina, probably through Nahuel Molina and Rodrigo De Paul, will try to do the same. Tchouameni and Adrien Rabiot have both been excellent in Doha, with the latter expected to return after missing the semi-final through illness. As hundreds of opponents before them can attest, there is no real way to plan to keep him quiet. In general, the two attacks look stronger than the two defences, which, for the neutral at least, is always a good thing in a World Cup final.
☆ Magical Messi saves his best for last in Qatar
  + stars: | 2022-12-16 | by ( Andrew Cawthorne | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Dec 16 (Reuters) - As if he had not made enough fairy-tales, Argentina's little genius Lionel Messi has saved the potentially most magical script for his last World Cup - with one line left to write. After scoring a penalty to send Argentine fans into delirium, the usually impeccably-behaved Messi ran towards the Dutch bench cupping his ears in a provocative gesture. Though some pundits criticized him for disrespect, Argentine fans were largely delighted at the Maradona-like flashes of defiance from the introverted Messi. All that is missing in the Messi story is a World Cup. Carry it in your heart because that is more important than a World Cup and you've already won that, thanks Captain."
☆ LGBTQ students wrestle with tensions at Christian colleges
  + stars: | 2022-12-05 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +12 min
“It’s kind of a tightrope,” said John Scarano, campus ministry director at John Carroll University, a Jesuit school near Cleveland with “safe zone trainings” as part of its ministry to LGBTQ students. Last year, 33 LGBTQ students or former students at federally funded Christian schools filed a class-action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education, claiming the department’s religious exemption allows schools that receive federal dollars to unconstitutionally discriminate against LGBTQ students. In May, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights launched a separate investigation for alleged violations of the rights of LGBTQ students at six Christian universities — including Liberty University. A high-stakes clash between students, faculty and the school’s board of trustees over hiring LGBTQ faculty is unfolding at Seattle Pacific University, a 131-year-old school affiliated with the Free Methodist Church. “I find that tragic.”To students like Fisher in Minnesota, concrete actions will show if LGBTQ people can truly be welcomed on Christian campuses.
☆ The looming debt ceiling fight could be the messiest since 2011, Goldman Sachs says
  + stars: | 2022-12-05 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
“To raise the debt limit next year, bipartisan support will be necessary but hard to achieve,” Goldman Sachs economists wrote in the report. Republican Senator John Thune of South Dakota told Bloomberg last week the debt ceiling could be a way to push through budget cuts. Goldman Sachs noted that the political environment next year will have “echoes of 1995 and 2011” — the two most tense standoffs over the debt limit in recent history. The good news is Washington appears to have plenty of time to reach a compromise on the debt ceiling before things get dicey. “Funds could run dry as soon as July and as late as October,” Goldman Sachs said.

The crypto industry has been ramping up lobbying around the world with potentially strict regulations on the horizon. The Biden administration released its framework on potential U.S. crypto regulations earlier this month, including ways that could help fight fraud. Kasselman described Messina as a critical guide to the company's lobbying and overall policy efforts. He noted that Messina is not a registered lobbyist, yet often advises their team on lobbying strategy. Kasselman credits Messina with the company hiring Ian Mair as Blockchain.com's head of U.S. policy and Giles Swan to run its European policy.

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming is in an intense political battle to hold on to her seat in Congress. "The people who hate Liz Cheney will gladly stand at their pulpit and scream it to the ends of the world," Landon Brown, a state lawmaker who supports Cheney, told Insider.

Anytime that we needed her, her help, she was there," Pete Obermueller, president of the Petroleum Association of Wyoming, told Insider. The Wyoming Republican Party also censured her, and later voted to no longer recognize her as a Republican.

It is these stark differences in approach to business, management, and culture that make the story so engrossing. Thanks to a 2007 Fortune magazine cover story complete with a Godfather-esque photo, the "PayPal Mafia" have taken on unjustified mythic status in Silicon Valley. The Founders provides the tools needed to develop a more balanced view of Silicon Valley and its larger-than-life personalities. It also suggests which aspects of that era of Silicon Valley culture are worth preserving — or maybe even rediscovering. His most recent book is "The Platform Delusion: Who Wins and Who Loses in the Age of Tech Titans."
