Submission + - Musk Wins $1 Trillion Pay Package, Creating Split Screen on Wealth in America (nytimes.com)
schwit1 writes: Tesla shareholders approved a plan to grant Elon Musk shares worth nearly $1 trillion if he meets ambitious goals, including vastly expanding the company’s stock market valuation.
Much like an earlier pay plan that Tesla shareholders approved in 2018, this 12-step package asks Mr. Musk, the company’s chief executive, to vastly expand Tesla’s stock market valuation — to $8.5 trillion from around $1.4 trillion — while hitting a variety of other goals. Those include selling one million robots with humanlike qualities and 10 million paid subscriptions to the company’s self-driving software.

Their aggressive military actions against Tawain and their (Well Xiâ(TM)s) statements about a probable hostile takeover over Tawaiin by 2027 kind of makes them bad. Or did we decide that autocratic Putin was not âoebadâ for invading Ukraine so he could bring back the Soviet era??
And Xiâ(TM)s promise to Trump that he will not invade Taiwan during Trumpâ(TM)s term in office seems more about playing Trump as the fool he probably perceives Trump to be.
Ergo, fomenting war is a bad thing, and in that light China should, in fact, be seen as âoebad.â

Submission + - Facebook admits it is the masturbation epicenter of the world (torrentfreak.com)
Mr. Dollar Ton writes: Meta is using a classic BitTorrent defense in its legal battle with adult film producer Strike 3 Holdings. In its motion to dismiss, the tech company argues that IP-address evidence is insufficient to prove who the infringer is. Meta further counters that the "sporadic" downloads on its corporate network began years before its relevant AI research started. Instead of AI training, Meta argues the activity was likely just for "private personal use"

Jeremy Allison - Sam writes: The PSF has withdrawn a $1.5 million proposal to US government grant program.
"We became concerned, however, when we were presented with the terms and conditions we would be required to agree to if we accepted the grant. These terms included affirming the statement that we “do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws.”
