Mark Cuban says Elon f#cked up Twitter "First of all, Twitter X is such a cesspool now. It's a shithole. Instagram and Tik Tok are still chill where you can mess with people and have fun, but you just can't do it on Twitter" "The way it works is called the nearest tree algorithm. If you are a big user on X and you have a lot of followers and those followers engage with you, then not only does your stuff get elevated but all the people you engage with get elevated" "So when Elon interacts with some of these crazy people, their stuff gets elevated and the people that they talk to gets elevated"

@nexta_tv Not really an issue: Charles is the King of Australia. So, it sort of is one of his flags.

What an awkward mix-up! In Washington, the wrong flags were raised ahead of the king’s visit Before Charles III’s arrival, the White House displayed Australian flags instead of British ones — around 15 in total. The mistake was quickly spotted and fixed, but it looked very embarrassing. Charles III is arriving on April 27. It will be his first visit to the U.S. as king and the first visit by a British monarch in nearly 20 years.

Cashiers in China are being replaced by robots In new AI-powered Galbot stores, humanoid robots serve customers: you select and pay for your items at a terminal, and a robot hands over the purchase. So far, 20 such stores have already opened across seven cities.

@Handre I'm calling BS on this. The JR companies are famous for being Real Estate Companies with a rail service on the side. As part of the deal, the sale included all land and buildings. The revenue from these assets are what makes a huge proportion of the income/revenue you laud.

The Japanese railway privatization of 1987 stands as one of the most devastating defeats ever dealt to statist transportation mythology. The government split the bloated Japan National Railways into seven regional companies, sold them off, and watched private ownership transform a bankruptcy-bound disaster into the world's most efficient rail system. JNR hemorrhaged money for decades before privatization. By 1987, the state railway carried debt equivalent to $200 billion in today's money while delivering mediocre service plagued by strikes and inefficiency. Politicians treated it as a jobs program rather than a transportation service. The predictable result: chronic losses, deteriorating infrastructure, and customer service that reflected government monopoly arrogance. Private ownership changed everything overnight. The new JR companies slashed operating costs by 40% within five years while dramatically improving service quality. JR East alone now generates annual profits exceeding $3 billion. These companies invest billions in cutting-edge technology, maintain punctuality rates above 99%, and operate the world's most advanced high-speed rail networks. They achieved this without a single yen of operational subsidies. The transformation reveals a core dynamic of transportation infrastructure: private companies must satisfy customers to survive, while government monopolies need only satisfy politicians. JR companies diversified into real estate, retail, and hospitality around their stations, creating integrated profit centers that cross-subsidize rail operations. Government railways never innovate this way because bureaucrats face no market pressure to generate returns. Meanwhile, Amtrak burns through $2 billion in annual subsidies while delivering third-world service across most routes, and European state railways require massive taxpayer bailouts every few years to stay solvent.

@niccruzpatane That's some top rate CGI. Where's some pictures of an actual truck. Because if it doesn't exist now, there is no way mass production is happening in 2027. Wow - 4D radar! What's the extra dimension?

Chinese company KargoBot created a Fully Autonomous Cabless Semi truck which is planned to go into production this year. • Purpose-built modular design • 800 km range (500 mi) on WLTC Cycle • 1,026 kWh CATL battery, with swapping capabilities • 25% compared to a traditional cabbed semi-truck • 32 total sensors: LiDAR, 4D Radar, and infrared/thermal cameras • Trailer & Cargo capability, and a wide range of use cases • "KargoCloud" platform for intelligent dispatching, real-time monitoring, automatic charging alerts, fault handling, and logistics management The stuff coming out of China is insane. They say mass production starts sometime in 2027.

@chronocarta Zealand is the name of the island that Copenhagen, Denmark sits on. I think New Zealand is named after that island not the one in the Netherlands.

That is simply out of necessity because shale oil is light sweet and out refineries are set to to handle heavy oils. So we had to export it and still do. Obama was president as the shale boom which started in 2007 really took sail due to completion technique advancement. It has nothing to do with who the president was. Every president hates the oil industry. Credit then only with making it harder, longer, and more expensive to bring oil to market.

@JavierBlas @EIAgov The US is an oil exporter. The reserve is a hangover from when it wasn't. It is now used to manage price not ensure supply. I expect the US to keep releasing reserves, both to profit and to push prices down in the market. So expect it to fall as they don't need it for supply.
