Holy f*ck that's fast! 🏎️
Inside the fastest production car in the world.
This is what 503.17km/h feels like from behind the wheel. Driver Marc Basseng shattered the 500km/h barrier on a public road in the Al Dhafra Region, Abu Dhabi, on 1 November 2026.
Two Guinness World Records. All in one run.

We'll keep advancing open intelligence.
It'll be so much fun and fulfilling to work mostly for others than for yourself! 🤡

ChatGPT in Germany in 2027
Yesterday France announced tax of €0.055 per GB on internet traffic
Today Germany is considering taxing all AI-generated revenue
You will see European countries keep clawing more and more money from foreign companies as they are slowly running out of money themselves to pay for their pensions and welfare state
Add to this the planned wealth taxes and exit taxes on any European who will try to leave (already active in many EU countries)
Europe is running out of money
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post inaccurately claims France "announced" a data tax; it was a narrow 11-10 vote on a budget amendment in a near-empty chamber, opposed by the government and far from law. German AI tax ideas remain unadopted ministerial discussions without formal proposals.

By the way, in case anyone was still wondering whether they are completely useless, Binance holds SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and several other certifications.

Today's Claude extension compromise is a good reminder to do this. If you're using VSCode @code, Cursor @cursor_ai, or any other IDE built on VSCode, I would immediately enable extensions.installCooldownHours.
I've set this setting to 72 (hours), which is a much safer delay to install new updates to extensions than the default setting of 0 (immediate updates).
This prevents extension updates from getting installed for 3 days, which would hopefully eliminate most of the risk from compromised updates. It's not foolproof, but it's better than no delay.
Heck, set it to something even higher to be safer, like 336 (2 weeks).

Patrick Stewart says his biggest regret is the things he never said to the people he loved and not being vulnerable sooner.
“Being brave, being open, being sensitive to other people, tuning into them, becomes more and more important to me.”
He regrets the things he never got to say to his family.
“I wish I could go back, There are things I would like to say to my parents and my brothers that I never said. That makes me very, very sad.”
He’s learned the power of vulnerability.
“Being vulnerable is the primary objective in my life now, with those I care about.”

Picard about time: predator vs companion
Patrick Stewart definitely had quite an impact on some of us. Sometimes it's less obvious but when you watch these scenes again, you feel they changed you long ago 🥲

Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.
