One last Midas from the recent NEC Classic Motor Show - the Midas Gold convertible. I’ve posted a similar car before - see below - but I think this lighter colour shows off its contours better. (1/2)
Today, we’re moving on in the Midas story with this, the Mk4 Cortez, seen here at the recent NEC Classic Motor Show. The Mk4 was introduced in 1995, the main upgrade being the incorporation of Rover’s more modern OHC K-Series engine in place of the old Mini-derived A-Series. This car has been modified quite a bit compared with standard - e.g. the headlamps.
Energoatom : une enquête anticorruption en Ukraine
Alors que Kiev lutte pour préserver la confiance de ses alliés occidentaux, une affaire explosive secoue le sommet de l’État.
Le Bureau national anticorruption ukrainien (NABU) a révélé une enquête tentaculaire autour d’Energoatom, le géant public du nucléaire.
Au cœur du scandale : des contrats surfacturés, des « commissions » estimées à plus de 100 millions de dollars, et des liens directs avec un conseiller de longue date du président Volodymyr Zelensky.
Entre pressions politiques, promesses de transparence et soupçons d’ingérences, ce dossier met à l’épreuve la crédibilité de l’Ukraine dans sa lutte contre la corruption. Après l'affaire des drones achetés à prix d'or.

The Ears of #Midas are Donkey Ears
“ What would happen if Earth Turned Into Gold?
Gold is around 3.5 times denser than the Earth, so if the planet turned into gold, it would be left with many tiny atomic-scale gaps. But a spongy planet is not a thing that can exist, as gravity compresses Earth, squeezing it together to close up the gaps. As a result, the Earth contracts, shrinking to two-thirds of its radius.

Great questions!
Favourite consoles are the #DiGiCo #SD7 (digital) and the #Midas #Heritage3000 (analogue). These consoles offer enormous flexibility, catering to almost any workflow for any mix situations.
Digital vs. Analogue? I choose BOTH! They are both great for their own reasons. In my ideal world, as much of the sound source should be as old-timey analogue as it can get - nice mics, tube pre/power amps. Combined with excellent ADCs and distribution technologies such as #dante to move the signal where you need it.
My favourite thing to happen during a show was doing an act called "The Comedic Strippers" - 4 male "chip'n dale" "strippers" - the act included a bit where the music is supposed to stop and a specific time but doesn't, and the actors are all yelling at me to cut the sound but I don't (as planned before hand). They managed to whip the audience up to the point where they were coming back to me demanding I cut the music!
My personal worst was doing a screening of Dirty Harry. I was given a brand new Bluray of the film. I put it in, checked it out, screened it, and only after the film was done did anyone mention the film I screened was NOT Dirty Harry, but rather Dirty Harry II: Magnum Force. No one said a word. For over 2 hours. Turned out there were TWO blurays included in the case - Dirty Harry the OG was hidden behind an advertisement in the case!
OpenAI Files: громкое расследование о внутренней кухне OpenAI
18 июня 2025 года в открытом доступе появился масштабный отчёт « OpenAI Files ». Более чем на 50 страницах независимые организации The Midas Project и Tech Oversight Project раскрыли внутренние документы, переписки сотрудников и свидетельства бывших топ-менеджеров, которые ставят под сомнение заявленную миссию и этику работы одной из крупнейших AI-компаний мира — OpenAI. Что именно выяснили авторы расследования и почему это важно не только для самой компании, но и для всей индустрии искусственного интеллекта?
