The Polestar 2 is starting to look like a very attractive proposition. 350 miles range, under $60k.

...and BMW Group just confirmed the electric Mini will be available next year.

...and Hyundai just started taking orders for the Kona. 292 mile range, $35k.

And, wow, what's with all the glamour shots being 3/4 from the driver's side? I guess going-right is out of fashion this year.

I look forward to seeing the results in a few years! Huge attention is needed to the educational pipeline, particularly in the US, where women are underrepresented to a much greater degree than in much of the rest of the world.
It’s particularly sad for me, having seen the proportion decrease every year since I entered the industry in the eighties.
Likewise, it’s always refreshing for me to work in Africa, where the gender-balance is generally in accord with the population, and the tech industry doesn’t feel like a refuge for misogynists who couldn’t handle working together with women.

Just a datapoint for those waiting for @Tesla Model 3s... I placed an order for the dual-motor version on July 8. Delivery is scheduled for August 14.
We postponed until today, due to some travel and scheduling on our side. Appointment was at 12:15. Sat around until the car was ready at 1:30. In the hand-over the Tesla guy discovered that the charge port door wasn't working, took it back to the prep shop...
...but amazingly had it back less than fifteen minutes later, working. Finally on the road at 2:30. So, about two hours of sitting around, with a depleted coffee machine and an impatient six-year-old. Very different experience from our Model X delivery in October 2016.

As some of you are probably aware, I ended my fifteen years on the @TeamARIN board of trustees in order to make way for someone who was not yet another mediocre white guy, and we were very lucky to get the excellent @1carter. It's that time of year again, and I'm on the nomcom.
There are four days left in the nomination period, which runs through the end of July. A bunch of good people have been nominated, and the nomcom will forward a slate of five of the most-qualified people to the ARIN member electorate to vote for the two seats that are open.
One of those five is likely to be Paul Anderson, who's currently on the board. The ARIN electorate has displayed an unalloyed appreciation for the merits of incumbents, so it's very likely that Paul will be returned to his seat. That will leave four nominees and one seat.

140+ factual, fully-sourced examples of the impact Brexit is already having on the UK. Jobs going, investment drying up, companies moving assets to the EU, or redomiciling. And all happening as Government burns through £billions chasing a no deal Brexit.

"In late 2016, as Trump was readying to move into the WH, Elliott Broidy...was working on a deal to gain control of what a biz partner called “billions...in oil & gas, and mining assets” in ANGOLA." h/t @Klickedy

motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
"Broidy used his clout to hook up top Angolan gov't ofcls w/members of the US Congress & the Trump admin. It was a swampy endeavor involving old-fashioned political influence, a BH activist/realtor, & a Nigerian American businessman who had been a close friend of Michael Jackson"
"Broidy is no longer a power player wielding sway in the Republican cosmos. Early this yr, he faced a series of media stories that raised questions about his biz dealings (which includ'd ventures w/the gov'ts of SA, the UAE, Romania, & Repub of Congo) & allegd influence peddling"

Super-massive "realities of Brexit" thread. Jobs are going, investment is drying up, firms are moving assets to the EU27 or redomiciling. Contingency plans are being executed left and right. Meanwhile, Brexit has already cost us £billions. All happening NOW. #projectreality 1/110

Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Thread: Whatever Happened to the Monroe Doctrine?

1. Growing up in South Dakota, I remember learning American history (pre-Howard Zinn’s Marxist version) very fondly. It was always my favorite class (we had it over several years)!
2. Did you ever learn about the Monroe Doctrine in school? The fifth American president, James Monroe, issued the policy on 2 December 1823, which opposed European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere (although existing colonies were recognized).
3. By the way, as an anti-federalist, Monroe opposed ratification of the Constitution because he thought it gave too much power to the central government! What do you suppose he would think of the anti-Trump DoJ/FBI/CIA cabal & the rest of the Deep State today? He was prescient!
