@briandstone @LucidMotors Air owners watching Gravity get all the cool software features while we’re stuck with a phone key that only works randomly.

WOW, this update for the Lucid Gravity is huge! Very impressed with Lucid’s commitment to rapidly improve the vehicle software. See the full release notes in comments

@stalman Pretty much every tech-related site has turned to negative or “I know better than you” views. It all began with a constant criticism of anything @elonmusk related, then it permeated to everything else they’d write about. It’s like everyone wanted to be Kara Swisher.

I think I realized why I actually stopped reading The Verge: it feels like they just don’t like tech Life is stressful enough, just let me enjoy it

@iCyclone Ah, this is what I get for posting before my morning cafecito.

@cmas Re-read the post.

Since folks keep asking: #Cuba is extremely #hurricane-prone. Just since 2000, they've had 16 'canes, including rare Cat 5 (IRMA2017) & five Cat 4s. In GUSTAV2008, Cuba measured sustained 135 knots with gust to 184—one of highest official wind readings ever recorded in a 'cane.

The emerging consensus among many elected Democrats is some version of: ‘To be a clear, Iran’s outlaw regime is deeply evil, exports terrorism around the world, pursues genocidal nuclear weapons, is drenched in American blood, and slaughters its own civilians en masse. But…”

@GavinNewsom Do you have an actual proposal to address the situation?

The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons. The leadership of Iran must go. But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war that will risk the lives of our American service members and our friends without justification to the American people. President Trump is putting Americans at risk abroad because he is unpopular at home.

There is no “embargo” stopping Cuba from trading with Canada, Europe, China, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, or anyone else on the planet. The regime has had six decades of access to global markets. What it has not allowed is economic freedom at home. Cuba’s poverty is not the product of U.S. policy. It is the product of a one party police state that criminalizes private enterprise, jails dissidents, rations food, and blames Washington for the shortages it creates. We tried “opening things up” under Obama. Billions in tourism flowed in. The military conglomerate that controls the hotels got richer. Political prisoners remained in cells. The repression machine did not soften. It sharpened. Letting “Cubans decide their own future” starts with letting them vote, speak, organize, and build businesses without permission from the Communist Party. Until that exists, lifting sanctions is not solidarity. It is subsidy. Engagement without leverage is surrender dressed up as sophistication.

@ryangrim Stop blaming the US. The Cuban economy has been broken for decades all due to the government’s incompetence. Any Cuban can tell you about rampant corruption and all the laws and impediments government officials put in place to stop local businesses from progressing.

If you want a sense of how dire the situation is in Cuba now, here is a list of the measures the Cuban president says the nation has started taking to try to keep people in nursing homes and hospitals alive while Trump and Rubio choke the island of essentials, which the Cuban government is now referring to a "genocidal blockade" -- which is absolutely will be if it is allowed to persist. Cuba is not at war with anybody yet we are starving them...because why? Because Marco Rubio wants to? From the office of the Cuban presidency: This Friday, measures adopted by the country’s leadership were announced in response to the nation’s current situation, amid the intensification of the #GenocidalBlockade. ⚡| Energy Sector •Prioritize available fuel for essential services: public health, water supply, food production, defense, and hard-currency-generating activities. •Continue and accelerate the installation programs for solar photovoltaic parks and solar modules for households. •Speed up the delivery and installation of solar modules sold to Health and Education workers. •Install 5,000 solar modules in isolated homes and plan an additional 5,000 for social centers (nursing homes, children’s homes). •Expand incentives for the installation of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in companies and households. •Concentrate core administrative activities from Monday to Thursday. •Adjust fuel sales to the public until the situation normalizes. •Continue developing domestic oil production. 🚚| Transport Sector •Ensure fuel for port and airport operations, imports/exports, and the transport of vital cargo (food, fuel, medical supplies). •Reduce the Nueva Gerona–Batabanó ferry frequency to two trips per week (Tuesdays and Saturdays). •Extend the frequency of national passenger trains to once every 8 days (starting February 8). Temporarily suspend other rail services. •Reduce national bus departures, maintaining a basic daily service from Havana. Suspend the waiting list service. •Offer full refunds within 30 days for tickets for canceled services (rail or maritime). •Maintain guaranteed Medibus services (for patients) and transportation for students and teaching staff. •Reorganize local public transportation according to fuel availability in each territory. •In Havana, establish a new transportation service specifically for Health personnel. •Strengthen the electric mobility strategy: install solar charging stations and distribute electric vehicles. 👩‍🏫| Education Sector (General Education) •Prioritize early childhood: maintain the operation of daycare centers (possibly with reduced hours). •Maintain in-person classes in Primary Education with flexible schedules, allowing early dismissal due to transportation needs. •For Lower Secondary, Pre-University, and Technical Education: •Implement blended-learning or condensed schedules (by days or subject blocks), decided locally. •Give special attention to grades marking the start and end of cycles (e.g., 7th and 9th grade, 12th grade). •Temporarily redistribute enrollment from some IPVCE schools to urban pre-university schools. •For students in the final years of technical/pedagogical programs, shift to a training model in schools near their homes, with periodic in-person sessions. •Resume and adapt the “essential content” experience used during COVID-19. •Accelerate the delivery of solar panels to teachers. 👨🏾‍🏫| Higher Education Sector •General transition to blended learning, adapted by degree program and university. •Transport students back to their provinces of origin. •Support teaching activities through institutions in the student’s territory (CUM, branch campuses, workplaces). •Strengthen faculty in municipalities by relocating professors from central campuses. •Use telework as the main modality, with limited ICT support due to the energy situation. •Prioritize strategic research and development projects remotely. •Ensure completion of studies (final exams, thesis defenses) for students close to graduation. •Reorganize the admissions process for Higher Education. •Postpone the “University 2026” event. 👩🏿‍💻| Labor and Social Security Sector •Issue no new labor regulations, applying existing contingency rules. •Promote telework and remote work modalities. •Adjust work schedules according to the needs of each workforce. •Reassign workers to key economic activities or areas of social interest. •If necessary, apply temporary work interruption with guaranteed pay equivalent to the basic salary during the first month. 🚜| Food and Water Sector •Increase food production at the territorial level, prioritizing productive hubs with the greatest potential. •Promote alliances among all forms of productive management (state and non-state) to address commercialization and prices. •Use Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in food production. •Allocate fuel to guarantee essential water pumping. •Concentrate industry on producing and supplying chemical products for water treatment. ➕| Other Sectors •Tourism: Design a plan to reduce energy consumption and consolidate facilities, taking advantage of the high season. •Culture and Sports: Make adjustments to programs and activities. •Science, Technology, and Environment: Guarantee resources for early warning systems. •Special Education: Do not modify its operation; create a special scheme to guarantee services due to its high sensitivity.

This is a lie. European companies have been doing business with Cuba for a while. I worked with some of them while I lived in Cuba. The reason they don’t do more business has nothing to do with the US Embargo and all to do with corruption, non payment, and generally bad business. But you aren’t ready to hear that.

I think this is a genuine misunderstanding many people have. The U.S. doesn’t just block American businesses from trading with Cuba, it effectively blocks basically anybody from doing it. And since December that effective block has become almost complete. European and South American firms will not do business with Cuba because of the sanctions and terror-designation risk.

@BrunoRguezP The conditions are simple: hold free and open elections. Why are you afraid of real democracy?

We condemn in the strongest possible terms the new #US escalation against #Cuba. Now the US government intends to impose a total blockade on Cuba's fuel supplies. In order to justify that, it resorts to a long list of lies with the purpose of portraying Cuba as a threat, which it actually is not. Every day there are new evidence showing that the only threat to peace, security and stability in the region and the only malignant influence is the one exerted by the US government against the peoples and nations of our America. It intends to submit them to its dictates, deprive them of their resources, mutilate their sovereignty and deprive them of their independence. The US government is also resorting to blackmail and coercion in an attempt to make other countries to join its universally condemned blockade policy against Cuba; and if they refuse to do so, it is threatening to apply arbitrary and abusive tariffs in violation of all free trade rules. We denounced to the world this brutal act of aggression against Cuba and its people on which it has imposed, for more than 65 years, the longest-lasting and most cruel blockade ever imposed against an entire nation and which it now has committed to subject to extreme living conditions.

@jasonhickel This is like accusing the cops who are arresting the man who’s beating his wife to death.

The US is gearing up to literally starve Cuba into submission. It is absolutely criminal and obscene. And this to a country that everyone knows poses *zero* threat to the US. The people of Cuba need our full solidarity in resisting this onslaught.

The Cuban dictatorship has always had an easy way out of all of this misery they cause to the Cuban people - hold free and fair democratic elections, open the government. But alas, they want to keep power and keep oppressing the population. Please, don’t comment on things you are ignorant of.

This Executive Order will kill countless innocent Cubans. I am horrified by the Trump Administration's attempt to strangle an entire people. Homes, schools, hospitals without power. Children without food or medicine. Cuba poses no threat to the US. This is pure cruelty.

@milan_milanovic This observation is badly stale. Basic Kubernetes is not that complicated. Also, Cursor with kubectl command access - problems debugged in minutes.

Kubernetes killed more startups than server crashes ever did You don't have Spotify's scale. You have 8 engineers and a single server that's running fine But you watched a KubeCon talk, and now you've got 23 YAML files, a Helm chart nobody fully understands, and engineers debugging pod evictions instead of buildinga product Your "cloud-native infrastructure" is just a cloud bill with extra complexity A $50/month VM can handle millions of requests. Your startup will run out of money debugging networking issues long before you need horizontal pod autoscaling The best infrastructure decision is often the simplest one

The main thing I’ve learned in 40-plus years as an entrepreneur is that nobody knows anything. Nobody knows if your idea is good or bad. You don’t know if it’s good or bad. You need to test your idea, trial it, collide it with reality. That’s the only way to learn.

Aquellos que culpan al bloqueo por la situación en Cuba, o nunca vivieron en Cuba, o no son cubanos, o vivían a base de regalías del gobierno. Todo el cubano “de a pie” cómo yo sabe que el bloqueo siempre fue la excusa que el gobierno cubano usaba para justificar incompetencia y corrupción interna. A otro con ese cuento, amigo.

Que alguien le explique lo que es un bloqueo de 60 años.

You can feed all these lies to the liberals who’ve never lived in your oppressive government. Every Cuban knows the blockade was always internal. You never wanted to see people prosper. Law after law, all created to stop business from growing, people from prospering, voices from being heard.

Quienes culpan a la Revolución de las severas carencias económicas que padecemos, deberían callar por vergüenza. Porque saben y lo reconocen, que son fruto de las draconianas medidas de asfixia extrema que EE.UU nos aplica hace seis décadas y amenaza con superar ahora.

No tienen moral para señalar a Cuba en nada, absolutamente en nada, quienes convierten todo en negocio, incluso las vidas humanas. Quienes hoy drenan histéricos contra nuestra nación lo hacen enfermos de rabia por la decisión soberana de este pueblo de elegir su modelo político.

At some point you’ll realize your constant lies are going into a void. Who believes this shit? Your readers don’t believe it, you don’t believe it either (you’re just saying whatever needs to be said so you can keep milking the cow). I’m really curious, please tell me, who believes all of this bullshit?

#Cuba no recibe ni ha recibido nunca compensación monetaria o material por los servicios de seguridad que haya prestado a algún país. A diferencia de #EEUU, no tenemos un gobierno que se presta al mercenarismo, el chantaje o la coerción militar contra otros Estados. Como todo país, Cuba tiene absoluto derecho a importar combustible desde aquellos mercados dispuestos a exportarlo y que ejercen su propio derecho a desarrollar sus relaciones comerciales sin la interferencia o la subordinación a las medidas coercitivas unilatetales de EEUU. El derecho y la justicia están de parte de Cuba. EEUU se comporta como un hegemón criminal y descontrolado que amenaza la paz y la seguridad, no solo en Cuba y este hemisferio, sino del mundo entero.
