EU ydmykes: Bare ett selskap på topp 50 – USA har 35
Hverken Tyskland eller Frankrike har ett eneste selskap blant verdens 50 mest verdifulle på børs.
Nederlandske ASML redder EU fra fullstendig fravær på listen – mens USA tar 35 av plassene.

I want the world to look at us and learn a lesson to never ever end up being at the mercy of the weather because of the ideology of a bunch of people with annual salaries between 300-500K and zero skin in the game, while 450 million are facing the consequences of their mistakes.
Europe is facing its first prolonged period of cool, cloudy and windless weather this heating season, squeezing renewable generation at a time when power prices are already at the highest levels since 2022. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

2/ 🔹 Revenue: Musk sees annual recurring revenue of $500bn–$1tn by end-2027. That's an ambition, not formal guidance.
🔹 Compute: he'd be "surprised" at less than 13 GW by end-2027, vs ~1.7 GW today.

Kan noen regne på klimagassutslippene som følge av alle brannbombene og brannene i Frankrike? Da får kanskje Miljøpartiet De Grønne - MDG, SV - Sosialistisk Venstreparti, Rødt og Arbeiderpartiet med seg at det skjer noe der?

Husker du alle ekspertene som har fortalt deg de siste to årene at USA sin økonomi og aksjemarkedet var ferdig, kaputt. Ødelagt. Resesjon. Alle ville selge alt. Kollaps.
Hvis ikke: søk i arkivene til NRK, VG og Aftenposten. Ikke meningsmangfold. En stemme. Lik. Ukritisk.
Tenk sjæl

In her latest sciolistic letter to me, @SenWarren made it clear that she knows even less about foreign exchange markets than she does about banking.
What is equally shocking, but not surprising: not a single member of the media mob has a rudimentary-enough level of financial market literacy to spot her remedial error.
To reiterate: under @POTUS, the United States delivers for America’s trusted partners.
For a fuller explanation, I recommend Senator Warren take any entry level course in international finance for her and her staff, or I can personally give her a tutorial on Foreign Exchange for Dummies. Although I am not holding my breath, I hope her next letter will demonstrate that she has learned the difference between a currency purchase and a swap or a loan.

Novak Djokovic in his documentary on why he refused the COVID vaccine:
"Because I didn't need it. Why should I get the vaccine? I'm healthy, I'm an athlete. I had corona. I had immunity. I wasn't a threat to anyone. There was no reason for me to get vaccinated. It's my freedom to choose which that fundamental right that you have as a human being on this planet — the freedom to choose — which was taken from a lot of people."

Stop guessing and start building with Creator Central by Atlas Cloud. Model Explorer runs the same prompt across models and puts the results side by side, up to 10 at once. Start from a curated set or assemble your own.
With Wan3.0 coming shortly, we're dropping the price of Seedance 2.5 so creators can compare and choose the right model for their projects.
