Slate Auto, the electric vehicle startup backed by Jeff Bezos, has replaced its CEO months ahead of the launch of its affordable electric truck. Former Amazon Marketplace vice president Peter Faricy is the new person in charge of the company, and he started on Monday, Slate spokesperson Jeff Jablansky told TechCrunch. Most recently, Faricy had been an advisor at McKinsey and Bessemer Venture Partners. Faricy left the role at Bessemer to join Slate, according to Newsweek, which first reported the hire. Slate Auto’s first CEO, longtime Chrysler veteran Christine Barman, is now the President of Vehicles, according to Jablansky. Barman…

Bitcoin has just crossed a major milestone: more than 20 million of its 21 million coins have now been mined. That means over 95% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply is out in the world, leaving less than one million coins yet to be created. But don’t expect them to appear anytime soon — the last fractions of Bitcoin, called satoshis, are projected to be mined around the year 2140. Bitcoin’s supply is built into its code, making it very different from traditional money like dollars or euros. When Satoshi Nakamoto launched the network in 2009, the system was designed to…

British Transport Police said an “unknown substance” was thrown at the man at Crawley Station on Saturday night. Emergency services were called to the station at around 11.20pm. Police said tests have now confirmed the substance thrown at the man, who has since been discharged from hospital, was corrosive. A manhunt was launched after the attack on the man in his thirties. Police forensic investigators were at the scene until the early hours of Sunday morning and police are still searching CCTV footage for clues. A spokesman for British Transport Police said: “The man, aged in his 30s, was taken…

The author of that post on X was referring to an online intelligence dashboard following the US-Israel strikes against Iran in real time. Built by two people from the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, it combines open-source data like satellite imagery and ship tracking with a chat function, news feeds, and links to prediction markets, where people can bet on things like who Iran’s next “supreme leader” will be (the recent selection of Mojtaba Khamenei left some bettors with a payout).  I’ve reviewed over a dozen other dashboards like this in the last week. Many were apparently “vibe-coded” in a…

Public debate in Germany has become increasingly sceptical of the United States in recent years, particularly around trade policy and political developments. But according to Julian Banse, Managing Consultant at Banse Consulting, the reality inside corporate boardrooms tells a more pragmatic story. Banse works closely with companies navigating cross-border markets, particularly between Germany and the United States. His firm, founded in 2020, focuses on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises with marketing, HR and international business development.   The Gap Between Rhetoric and Reality   “The relationship is somewhat ambiguous at the moment,” Banse explains. While media coverage often highlights growing…

Key Aspects: One guest wants thousands of cruisers to change White Night because of her granddaughter’s wedding. She is not getting the response she might have hoped for and could have sabotaged her own intent. Cruise ship entitlement requests can quickly get out of control with unreasonable demands. All cruise guests are familiar with onboard entitlement, from the infamous chair hogs to saving seats for theater shows to chaotic buffet lines. While cruise lines do try to minimize poor behavior, there are times when a guest’s entitlement is so far overboard it’s simply astonishing. Guests who will board Royal Caribbean’s…

Amid growing demand for data centers that can deliver AI compute at scale, Nvidia-backed British AI infrastructure company Nscale is now valued at $14.6 billion. This makes it one of Europe’s latest decacorns alongside Helsing and Mistral AI. Nscale has bet on vertical integration, from energy and data centers to compute and orchestration software. Its new valuation stems from a $2 billion Series C, which it calls “the largest in European history,” though the figure includes a $433 million pre-Series C SAFE backed by Blue Owl, Dell, Nvidia and Nokia in October.  The raise was supported by Goldman Sachs and…

Snow covered the ground that Tuesday morning 100 years ago, when a college professor and his wife took a morning drive to the family farm a few miles south in Auburn, Massachusetts. Along for the ride, the couple brought two work colleagues — and “Nell.” They may not have known it at the time, but thanks to Nell, the four New Englanders were about to attend an auspicious birth. Some eleven feet tall and weighing a mere 10 pounds, Nell was a contraption of the professor’s invention. He had devised, constructed, and tested Nell methodically, incrementally, over the course of…

Few products attract a cult-like obsession like this one. Even after being off the menu for years, true fans yearn for its return, their devotion bordering on an almost cult-like obsession. Well, they’re in luck. It’s back for a limited time only. It’s not the McRib, but the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt. Like McDonald’s McRib, there are a few theories that might explain the Bolt’s reappearance.  GM’s electric vehicle parts bin has grown since the previous Bolt was introduced in 2016, helping the new model’s finances pencil out, just like how the McRib’s sporadic availability might be explained by low pork…
