Facebook has released new governing documents for an independent oversight board that will have power to override decisions it makes over contentious material and influence new policy. CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously likened such a board to a type of "Supreme Court" for the platform and comes as lawmakers and regulators keep a close eye on the company. It's official! New York has also become the second state to ban flavored e-cigarettes after its governor called for emergency action in response to concerns about a vaping epidemic. Second place is sometimes viewed as first loser. No doubt that vaping is a problem with teens, I see it every day, just not sure that banning flavored e-cigarettes will stop the problem. Better to try and fail then never try at all. General Motors has shifted health insurance costs for its striking workers to the United Auto Workers union as its members walked the picket line for the second day on Tuesday. Ouch. Someone is playing hardball. Brazilian police are set to announce the first criminal charges against employees at Vale and German safety inspector TÜV SÜD as early as this week related to the January mining tailings dam collapse. Police reportedly will formally accuse 8-12 people from both companies for the crime of false representation in the first of a series of charges, alleging that certificates produced by TÜV SÜD to attest to the stability of Vale's fateful dam were issued fraudulently. Elon Musk spent more than $50,000 digging into the personal life of British expat and Thai caver Vern Unsworth in summer 2018 in an effort to substantiate the claim that he was a "pedo guy." Musk revealed the spending in his latest response to a defamation lawsuit Unsworth filed against him last year. Guess you don't want to criticize Elon Musk. $TSLAInformation comes from Google Finance- arstechnica.com/... When Porsche beat the Nurburgring lap record for a four-door EV, it was sending a message to rival Tesla: "Hey, 2-second 0-60mph acceleration times are cool, but how long can your brakes, motor, tires and batteries last?" Tesla boss Elon Musk got the message loud and clear, and as it goes with him, he wasn't willing to let it go. Now, it appears that a Tesla Model S has bested the Taycan Turbo's 7 minute, 42 second time by 19 seconds (unofficially). If Tesla put a stock version of its most powerful Model S on the Nurburgring track, it likely wouldn't beat the Taycan Turbo's run. The EV's tires wouldn't be up to the task, for one thing, and and the motor, brakes and/or battery could possibly overheat. Porsche's Taycan Turbo, on the other hand, was reportedly a detuned version of the production Taycan Turbo S with stock summer tires.Information from Google Finance- www.engadget.com/... When billionaire Jeff Bezos cut health benefits on September 13 for part-time workers at his grocery store Whole Foods the richest man in the world saved the equivalent of what he makes from his vast fortune in just a few hours. Whole Foods would contribute between $5,000 and $15,000 annually per employee for benefits. At the middle of that range, $10,000, that comes to $19 million a year. Bezos makes just under $9 million an hour, according to a 2019 Business Insider analysis, which would mean he makes enough money in a little over two hours to cover the benefits he cut. Yikes. PR Department might want to spin this a different way. Where is Jon Corzine and what was his fastest lap time at the Nurburging track in his NIO EP9?via user dcv
