Fluorescent green sodium hydroxide liquid, leaked from Tesla's Palo Alto headquarters, flows along a street gutter. The chemical, which is used as coolant for Tesla's "AI supercomputer," eventually ran into Matadero Creek. Fire officials say more than 500 gallons were recovered, as cleanup efforts continue into next week.

Tesla doesn't have a permit to store the chemical, and "could be fined."

I always thought of Google funding Mozilla as a sort of antitrust tax. From a legal perspective, it benefits Google to have Firefox out there and being developed independently by Mozilla as "competition." That falls apart if Google starts attaching onerous conditions to its funding (we'll have to see how this "web integrity" bullshit plays out).

Of course G benefits from being the default search engine in Firefox, but I don't see a lot of evil going on, otherwise... Yet...

Yup. If China wants a massive collection of Americans' telemetry, PII, location data, etc. they're not gonna risk exfiltrating it from our phones. They're just gonna buy it from *American* companies who collect it all and would be thrilled to sell it to them. And very few in the government seem to care about that part.
