Ko smo se odločali za vstop v EU, si ni nihče predstavljal, da bo v kaki njeni članici in uniji nasploh mogoče brez posledic: 1. Razveljaviti predsedniške volitve (Romunija); 2. Ukiniti informativni program na nacionalni RTV (Madžarska); 3. Poslati policijo na Ustavno sodišče (Poljska); 4. Tri tedne pred volitvami poslati v zapor predsednika stranke, ki vodi v anketah (Slovenija); 5. Zasesti nacionalno RTV s policijo in zamenjati vodstvo (Poljska); 6. Prekiniti mandate vodstvu nacionalne RTV in izvesti čistko zaposlenih (Slovenija); 7. Poslati v zapor člane prejšnje vlade brez možnosti obrambe (Madžarska); 8. Podeliti skoraj milijon državljanstev ilegalnim migrantom po hitrem postopku (Španija); 9. Zapreti novo Nuklearno elektrarno in zgraditi plinovod do Rusije (Nemčija); 10. Obdavčiti ogljične energetske vire ob hkratnem zapiranju NE ter preseliti industrijo v države z nizkimi ekološkimi standardi pod pretvezo, da tako rešujemo planet. Nastala je EU, ki se mora reševati sama pred sabo.

Very positive and constructive conversation with @elonmusk today. Italy is looking with great interest at the opportunities offered by assisted driving technologies, with a focus on innovation and road safety, and supports a swift EU approval of Tesla Assisted Driving. Thanks for the exchange, Elon!

I just had a guy come up to me at the car wash while I was vacuuming out my car and ask me what I thought about my Tesla. I told him it’s the only car I will ever drive, and what he said after that is what surprised me the most. He said that he has been using Robotaxi over the past few weeks here in Dallas with friends and is now considering purchasing a Tesla for himself after experiencing self driving in the @Robotaxi. This is a real world example of how Robotaxi is actually selling Teslas with every ride that it gives. Buckle up. The word is spreading, and this is just the beginning…

Must suck to be an Elon hater. Everything the guy touches turns to gold, eventually. Even Twitter, which was worthless back in 2022, has turned to gold via xAi. Betting against Elon is never a winning bet, long-term. It's like trying to short $SPY. Why bother?

When I was in sixth grade, our science class did an egg drop project. The assignment was to build something that could protect an egg when it was dropped from ceiling height. I was really excited and spent full weekends trying to come up with the perfect design. I think I ended up cutting open a Nerf football, making a little space for the egg, and putting that inside a box stuffed with paper. I was convinced it would work. Then the contest started. My egg was dropped and broke completely. As the day went on and the other kids had their turns, I realized I was the only kid in the class whose egg broke. The other kids had come up with these brilliant designs, and I vividly remember being shocked when one girl had her egg suspended inside a box using pantyhose. How did she think of that? How did I not? I remember feeling devastated, as I’d put so much time and effort into this thing, and I was the only kid who failed. And I got a C on the project. I couldn’t understand how the other kids had come up with such great ideas when mine didn’t work at all. I carried that memory with me for years and remembered it as a story about putting your heart into something and then coming in dead last. Only years later did I look back and realize that I was the only kid whose parents didn't do the project for them. I was a 12-year-old competing with adults, had no idea it wasn't an even playing field, and there were consequences. It had a big impact on me at that impressionable age. There are a lot of life lessons in that egg drop project.

I’ve spent a few days thinking about the Tesla Roadster reveal and landed somewhere I haven’t seen much discussion. I’m neither a Tesla fanboy nor a Tesla hater. And I couldn’t care less whether what we saw technically qualifies as a flying car. Three takeaways: (1) The risk of that live demonstration going horribly wrong was real. Almost no CEO would willingly expose their company to that kind of public humiliation for a product with so little financial upside. Elon did. (2) That willingness to attempt the seemingly impossible is what makes Tesla special. It’s also arguably Elon’s greatest contribution to America. He’s helped bring back something we’ve lost. The American spirit of chasing big scary ideas that most people think are impossible. That mindset is spreading across a new generation of founders and its long term impact on America’s future could dwarf anything Tesla ever sells. I think this is deeply underappreciated. (3) Can we just acknowledge how insanely cool that moment was? We’ve reached a strange place culturally where even extraordinary feats of human ingenuity immediately become arguments about why they don’t count. Not everything needs to be a debate. Sometimes we should just be able to stand back together and marvel at what humans are capable of. I’ve been both bullish and critical of Tesla’s ambitions over the years. But watching Elon and his team push the boundaries of what’s possible reminds me why I’m glad we have him. Whether the Roadster ever makes Tesla a dollar or impacts $TSLA stock price is almost beside the point. We need more people willing to risk failure in pursuit of things the rest of us think are impossible. Because when they succeed we all win.

En 1984, una pareja celebraba su boda en Polonia cuando cinco hombres de pelo largo entraron sin invitación y terminaron tocando con los instrumentos de la orquesta. Eran los integrantes de IRON MAIDEN. Pero lo más increíble es que aquella noche no tocaron ni una de sus canciones. La banda se encontraba de gira por Polonia, todavía bajo el régimen comunista, cuando sus integrantes terminaron en el club Adria, en la ciudad de Poznań, donde se estaba celebrando una boda. Al principio solo querían tomar unas copas. Pero cuando vieron que había músicos tocando en directo, se les ocurrió una idea: pedirles prestados los instrumentos y subir al escenario. Los músicos de la fiesta aceptaron, aunque el baterista estaba especialmente preocupado por lo que aquellos desconocidos pudieran hacerle a su equipo. Y entonces ocurrió algo que parecía imposible. Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris y sus compañeros comenzaron a tocar "Smoke on the Water", de Deep Purple, y "Tush", de ZZ Top. Lo más divertido es que no interpretaron ninguna canción de Iron Maiden. Bruce Dickinson recordaría años después que ni siquiera estaba seguro de que los invitados supieran quiénes eran aquellos músicos que habían aparecido de repente en su celebración. Pero hay un detalle que hace esta historia todavía mejor: todo quedó grabado. Parte de aquella actuación terminó apareciendo en el documental Behind the Iron Curtain, que registró la histórica gira de Iron Maiden por Europa del Este en 1984. Y pensar que, mientras miles de seguidores pagaban por ver a Iron Maiden en concierto, unos novios polacos terminaron teniendo a la banda tocando gratis en su boda. Hay parejas que contratan una orquesta para su boda. Y hay otras que, sin saberlo, terminan con Iron Maiden tocando canciones de Deep Purple.

I made an unsettling discovery in my undergraduate class on financial planning last week. While explaining mortgages, I asked my 38 students this question: if you buy a $400,000 house and pay 20% in cash towards the purchase, what will be the amount that you finance? Not a single student could tell me the answer. Despite the fact that they are all juniors and seniors majoring in business. I added more questions: what is 30 percent of 80? 60 percent of 90? They didn’t know. The closest they got was when one student said, in response to my query of “40% of 70”, that “I know it’s 4 times 7 but I don’t remember what that is.” Another student helpfully added, “28.” They explained to me why they couldn’t answer these math questions: they were never taught multiplication tables, percentages or fractions during their K-12 schooling. Instead, they were taught how to use a calculator. Without one, they are not able to do basic arithmetic. I later asked the dean about this, and he lamented that this isn’t a thing just for our university’s students; it’s a thing for their entire generation, nationwide. When I was in K-12, the fierce debate among parents and educators was whether to allow calculators in class. The calculators won. Today, the debate is about AI. And like before, the tech will win. But will that truly be a victory? Rowan University #college #math #loans #CFP #financialplanning

What? Elon was right? Again? Shocker.
Musk called LiDAR a crutch, and for years I thought that was stubbornness. Watching Rivian's LiDAR timeline slide while camera-based driving keeps improving, I'm starting to think Tesla may have been right all along. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian…
