"Elon Musk shared a post on his social network stating that [Mexican billionaire Carlos] Slim could have ties to criminal groups, and five minutes later, ... Slim canceled all business collaborations with Starlink in Latin America, which made Musk lose 7 billion US dollars.

"An hour later, Slim announced that he would transfer his projects for the next 5 years with Starlink, an investment of 22 billion dollars, to companies in China and Europe.

"More than money, Musk lost his main partner in 25 countries...."

Maye Musk’s father, Joshua Haldeman, was Canadian leader of a pro-Hitler, technocratic movement that wanted a “Technate of America” spanning from Greenland to Colombia.

Last night, she rode on Marine One, right before Trump sided with Putin over Europe.

I want to talk about why Unity C# code is different. This is about editor performance, with nullable types as an example. There's some JSON parsing happening, which someone wants faster. (It has to be a JSON parser.)

A significant portion here goes into peeking chars. "OK, that's where I/O is happening, duh." But no, there is a lot of work happening in this very PeekChar function. Look at the "Exclusive time" column in @superluminal

Commuting comes from trains.

The New York Central railroad noticed some people were riding every day, so they offered special fares - unlimited rides in a given period. These were called commutation fares - the fare was commuted, not the rider. It just meant lower than usual. But soon the riders were called commuters, and then the railroads themselves. Eventually the word was used for driving too.
