Aviation for dummies: The identities of the pilot and co-pilot are presented to the arrival airport before departure, and no departure takes place before the arrival airport gives approval for all passengers, the pilot, and the co-pilot. Now, aviation for those who know: On an international commercial flight, the flight crew are not anonymous. The operating crew, including the Captain and First Officer, are documented, and their required biographical and travel-document data are transmitted through API/APP to the relevant border-control authorities in advance of departure or arrival. So yes, Israel had it and has it. So no, an international commercial flight does not simply depart with some mystery pilot whose identity nobody at the relevant authorities knows. Now, that's why all sides are working together and investigating. Two smart nations working together: one, the UAE, reached Mars; the other, Israel, carried out the pager operation. Yes, you are not smarter than either. Now sit down and let that sink in. And yes, chill and celebrate our brave flydubai Indian pilot ( Flight FZ1073), the brave Israeli passengers, and UAE transparency. When the investigation concludes, you will probably know the DNA of everything going back 10,000 million years. Then you can collect your Nobel Prize for being a super idiot who didn't know that the UAE is different. The UAE is the hope of the Middle East, a country that counters antisemitism, the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran's proxies, and Islamist extremism, while some of your countries give extremists citizenship, make them MPs, and call them activists.

Correct, roughly 90% of SpaceX’s revenue this year will be commercial. In Q4, our government revenue will be less than 5%! Federal expenditures are about 25% of the economy, so even if you sold pencils, you’d expect to sell about a quarter of your pencils to the government. This means SpaceX is FAR MORE commercial relative to the average company in America. Gibney is both a liar AND an idiot. Absolute scum of the Earth.

“When things change, I change. What do you do, sir?” On Friday, a husband is asked what he thinks of his wife. He says she’s amazing. On Saturday, he sees her cheating with the CEO of her company at a Coldplay concert. On Sunday, he is asked the same question again. Is he supposed to give the same answer simply because he said it on Friday? Average minds call changing your opinion inconsistency. Smart people understand that every day brings new information, and every new day requires a fresh judgment.

You all already know it, deep down But now I’m saying it clearly I don’t love feminism I never have Especially in its modern, degenerative, conceptually rococo version That ideology that slaps cheap labels on every single T-shirt, with its whiny little demands I don’t love that loud, attention-seeking side of it, as if it deserves a fast lane to the auditory system simply because the voice comes from a pink vocal cord But I am a woman So my heart beats, my eyes fill with tears, and I cannot hold back the emotion when there is a real woman: the kind who, without noise or clamor, goes straight for the target like her, and like no one else Here she is: Gwynne Shotwell, President and Chief Operating Officer of SpaceX! She was SpaceX’s seventh employee She saw it being born, coming to the brink of collapse, and then growing into a billion-dollar company If today we all have our eyes on the sky, it is also thanks to this woman: an extraordinary and wonderful engineer These are the women who make me quietly proud to be a woman These are the women who even the score for the “other half of the sky” At this level, there is no longer any equality to demand There is only one thing left to say: Thank you, thank you Gwynne! ✨ Newspapers hardly talk about her But this is the same old story…

🚨FULL SPEECH: THE BEST DIPLOMAT IN THE WORLD Russian FM Lavrov Attacks US, Israel, EU, NATO, Germany's Merz & Ukraine at UN 🇷🇺 Lavrov: SMO Objectives Will Be Achieved ​ ‘The goals of the Special Military Operation will be achieved. Threats to Russia’s security will be eliminated, and peaceful life will be restored,’ Sergey Lavrov said. ​ Other statements: ​ 🟩 Russia’s struggle for truth and justice will be carried through to the end. ​ 🟩 Russia insists on the immediate release of Nicolás Maduro and his wife. ​ 🟩 Europe is doing everything it can to derail prospects for peace negotiations on Ukraine, in which the United States is also interested. ​ 🟩 Russia believes the time has come to ensure Palestinian statehood. Condemned the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. ❗️"We consider the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and members of his family, as well as members of the Islamic Republic's military and political leadership, to be an unacceptable manifestation of forceful dictatorship... The Russian side is particularly concerned that, beginning in June of last year, the US and Israeli armed forces have been striking both Iran's civilian infrastructure and peaceful nuclear facilities, which were covered by IAEA safeguards."

"It's you who attacked Russia!" Slovak MEP Blaha sets the record straight: "The biggest hybrid threat to Europe isn't Russia. It's Ms Kallas, who wants to drag us into nuclear war. Your anti-Russian rhetoric is on par with the Nazis."

Let's all take a moment to understand how self-serving it is for OpenAI, Anthropic and other execs of big hyperscalers to talk of slowing things down. 1. LLMs are not AI and won't be AGI. There is nothing AI to slow down. 2. Competition is coming up fast, slowing benefits incumbents. 3. IPOs need hype & puffery; "we are so awesome it could become dangerous" is hype & puffery 4. Cover for real uncontrollable slowing growth as IPOs look to be pushed out
