@TeslaTrip @grok @Gfilche Grok was wrong. They’re not going into orbit. Few tests and they’ll burn up in the atmosphere.

@grok @Gfilche How long should it take for those 20 satellites to raise and reach their final operating orbit

Will be interesting to watch $SPCX trade around the upcoming Starship test on Thursday

@Gfilche But does the market know what a successful launch looks like? The media sure doesn’t. Hopefully investors know better but…

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 @wsoctv Understand that desire to treat them all the same because of no idea, but they're also asking to shave off an hour from the earliest curfew already. Thats silly.

A new curfew is coming to Charlotte. Charlotte City Council is poised to approve a 9 pm curfew for anyone under the age of 18. This is in response to chaos in Romare Bearden Park, University City and more @wsoctv

@mehulrastogi20 @AngelList Mehul, awesome thanks to taking customer feedback. Sign of a great company! Is there a best way to provide additional feedback? Thanks again.

@themichaelkonen @AngelList @themichaelkonen Thanks for the feedback! We're already working it - coming soon.

Our accounting engine handles millions of events for 20k+ funds. Our GL needs to know what moved, and why - otherwise trust is lost. Our engineering lead, @mehulrastogi20, explains how we translate business events into a consistent ledger - in a way that resilient, composable and explainable - here: angellist.com/blog/designing…

@JeffJacksonNC Common sense regulations. Let's go!

We just opened up a new front in our war against robocalls. Now we’re going after the companies that are selling millions of unused, unassigned phone numbers to the scammers. Here's how it works: Scammers buy huge lists of unused phone numbers so they can cycle through them to get around your spam blocker. Switching to new numbers makes evading defenses easier. And the companies enabling these scammers - companies like "The Number Barn" - are being reckless and complicit in supplying those unused numbers to scammers. Those companies should know better, but they’d rather make the sale. It needs to stop, so we’re asking the FCC for two new rules. First, companies shouldn’t be allowed to sell phone numbers to anonymous people. When a number is used for illegal robocalls, law enforcement needs to know who bought it. Second, companies shouldn’t be able to sell enormous batches of numbers to people who don’t provide telephone service. If AT&T needs new numbers for new customers, that makes sense. But why would someone who doesn’t operate a phone service need a million unused numbers? They wouldn’t, unless they're planning a robocall attack. We’ve got more coming in the robocall fight. That’s the latest, and I’ll keep you posted.

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 This is a huge overreach. Teenagers who can legally drive cars can't even go to the movies with their friends now. Definitely not how we grew up.

Charlotte City Councilmember Dante Anderson tells me a special Council meeting will be called so the new curfew can go into effect faster. The next full council meeting isn’t until Aug 10

@claudeai @JoeBrunoWSOC9 @Hunt_Saenz help spread the word

@Deandawiz Yes please! I'm one of the first 3K FSD beta testers and I still haven't gotten access.

AI3 v14 lite FSD - zero disengagements

@FreddyLA7 @NoodleHairCR7 Sounds like a full time job. Good luck! But internet trolls are the worst

@NoodleHairCR7 Sry gave my friends access to my acc so they can block all the haters. Don’t know why they blocked you😭😭

Wtf did I do???? 😭

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 Sorry but those rules are a bit ridiculous. Huge overreach. Teenagers who can drive cars couldn't even go to the movies with their friends. Definitely not how we all grew up.

Charlotte City Council's safety committee unanimously voted in favor of the new curfew rules. The full Charlotte City Council will have to vote. The hope is to get it voted on soon. Next business meeting isn't until August 10

CMPD is asking Charlotte City Council to increase the curfew age to anyone under 18 and lower the curfew time to 9 pm every day of the week. The current curfew is 11 pm for kids 13-15 and 10 pm for kids under 12. CMPD says it is difficult to verify age because kids those ages don't have IDs

@unusual_whales No shit. Thats all he does. Say something and walks it back.

BREAKING: Trump has walked back threats to charge a 20 percent fee on all cargo ships that pass through the Strait of Hormuz, per POLITICO

@JoeBrunoWSOC9 9 for 17 year olds?! I can see the difficulty but why not attempt to settle on 10.

@CLTdevelopment finally a good local article from Observer? charlotteobserver.com/news/business/…

@DirtyTesLa Us AI3 are stuck on v12.6.4 for comparison. Although hopefully more v14 lite coming soon. Would love to see that on this chart.

Pretty nice improvement of FSD capability over time

@RedWaveForever1 @acnewsitics Too many old career politicians. You shouldn’t be dying in office! This should be an anomaly not regular occurrence.

@acnewsitics She now makes seven wives who have been appointed to the Senate after their husband died so not unique. DEI has nothing to do with this as she is more qualified than Chuckie who put cheese on raw beef patties

South Carolina now has a DEI Hire for Senator.

@FreddyLA7 Great tour! Charleston is amazing. What did y'all think about @Bojangles @JoeBrunoWSOC9

A short recap of what we did over the last two weeks. Our route was Boston to Savannah, GA, down the coast and then back up to Clemson: - Swam in a lot of lakes in Pennsylvania because of the heatwave - Watched a pie eating contest in Virginia - Celebrated 4th of July in Washington DC - Relaxed at the beaches in Delaware - Saw wild horses in Chincoteague, VA - Went to the Outer Banks in North Carolina - Had a baby bear block our road in North Carolina - Tried many new fast food chains like Bojangles and Sonic - Ate a lot (probably too much) at Taco Bell - Played minigolf in Myrtle Beach - Visited beautiful cities like Charleston and Savannah - Saw an alligator and a lot more cool wildlife
