Lewis Hamilton puts himself in title fight with first Ferrari victory

Lewis Hamilton puts himself in title fight with first Ferrari victory

Published by Sam Flores

But the day belonged to Hamilton. The 41-year-old had his doubters in his debut season with the Scuderia last year. And to be honest, in his final few seasons with Mercedes too. But the seven-time world champion has looked revitalised this year. And even though he needed the help of a virtual safety car with 25 laps remaining to claim the lead from Russell – until then it had looked like it was going to come down to a grandstand finish between the three-stopping Hamilton and the two-stopping Russell – the speed at which he pulled away from the Mercedes after that suggested he would have won anyway. Russell conceded afterwards that he would have, adding that he felt his former team-mate was now in this title fight. “The pace today was insane from Lewis, so yeah, they [Ferrari] are coming, I think,” he said. It does look as if Hamilton might be at least. This was his first win in 686 days (since the 2024 Belgian GP), his first time crossing the line in …

SpaceX IPO Puts Elon Musk’s ‘Extreme’ Ownership to the Test

SpaceX IPO Puts Elon Musk’s ‘Extreme’ Ownership to the Test

Published by skeptic

Brian Manning encountered SpaceX’s culture of extreme ownership from day one as an engineer at the rocket maker. After a one-hour onboarding session a decade ago, he got his first assignment: Design a small part by the next day. “The way I looked at it is having very clear responsibility, autonomy, and accountability,” says Manning, who aced the task and spent about two years at the company. “Rather than hiring people and telling them how to do it, they give people full ownership to make things happen.” The principle has served SpaceX and its cofounder and CEO Elon Musk well. No company has delivered more to space. It’s also become the leading satellite internet provider while achieving once unthinkable aeronautical feats, including reusing key parts of its rockets. This week, SpaceX raised $75 billion by selling shares to investors in an initial public offering. That’s nearly three times more than any company has brought in from an IPO. The record IPO haul reflects investor excitement for SpaceX’s near-term goals such as building data centers in …

A Pentagon List Overhaul Puts Mormon Church’s Christian Identity Back in the Spotlight

A Pentagon List Overhaul Puts Mormon Church’s Christian Identity Back in the Spotlight

Published by Sam Flores

The Pentagon’s revision to its list of Christian religions this week has reignited a nearly 200-year-old debate: Is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints a Christian denomination? Most Latter-day Saints do see themselves as Christians. But there are many prominent Christian clergy and scholars who disagree, citing core differences in how they view God and the Trinity and revere a scripture that is not part of the two-testament Christian Bible. Utah U.S. Senators Mike Lee and John Curtis, both Republicans and Latter-day Saints, challenged the Pentagon’s exclusion of their faith from its list of Christian religions. It was part of the Department of Defense’s recent effort to significantly pare down a list of more than 200 religious affiliations that troops could choose from, deleting categories such as atheists, Unitarian Universalists, pagans and Wiccans. “Latter-day Saints are among the most patriotic, service-oriented individuals in our country,” Curtis posted on X in defense of his faith. “They are also unequivocally Christian — just look at who is in the name of the Church.” He also …

President Trump’s redoubled efforts to oust the Senate parliamentarian and pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act are putting new pressure on Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), who has had a hot-and-cold relationship with Trump over the years and is becoming a target of criticism from the MAGA base.

Dell’s new budget XPS 13 puts the MacBook Neo on notice

Published by skeptic

Dell finally announced its new XPS 13 laptop at Computex 2026 in Taiwan on Monday, almost five months after teasing it at CES. With a premium CNC aluminum build and a launch price of just $599 for students, the device is poised to aggressively compete with Apple’s budget bombshell, the MacBook Neo. On that battlefront, Dell is coming out swinging. “I’ll give [Apple] credit, it’s a good product…The difference is, we built something better,” Dell COO Jeff Clarke told reporters during a briefing ahead of Computex. Dell XPS 13 specs The XPS 13 will come in sky and storm finishes (left and right, respectively). Credit: Dell The XPS 13 will be the thinnest and lightest XPS laptop Dell has ever made.

The XPS 13’s display will offer up to 500 nits of brightness and full DCI-P3 color coverage, so …

The Chinese App That Puts Instagram to Shame

The Chinese App That Puts Instagram to Shame

Published by skeptic

I’m writing to you from Dali, a city in China’s Yunnan province nicknamed “Dalifornia” because of its reputation as a haven for burned-out tech workers, artists, and wanderers looking to disappear for a while. I couldn’t be much further from the spectacle happening in Beijing, where US President Donald Trump was making his first state visit to China since 2017. Here, my DiDi driver softly sings along to old karaoke ballads as we pass rice fields and mist-covered mountains. Dali isn’t the version of China most foreign visitors imagine when they think of megacities filled with gleaming skyscrapers, high-speed trains, and hyper-efficient delivery networks. Over roughly the last decade, Dali has become a magnet for a certain type of young Chinese urbanite exhausted by the pressure cookers of places like Beijing and Shanghai, where the competition for good jobs is cutthroat and housing prices remain staggeringly high despite the country’s recent property downturn. The ancient city is now dotted with vintage stores, trendy cafés, ceramic studios, tattoo parlors, and DIY art spaces—the aesthetic markers of …

ICE puts new restrictions on members of Congress inspecting detention centers

ICE puts new restrictions on members of Congress inspecting detention centers

Published by Sam Flores

WASHINGTON — A new Immigration and Customs Enforcement policy requires members of Congress to seek advance approval in order to speak with detainees during oversight inspections at detention facilities. It’s the latest twist in a months-long effort by ICE to restrict such visits by lawmakers, which have skyrocketed amid the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign. California Reps. Mike Levin (D-San Juan Capistrano) and Sara Jacobs (D-San Diego) learned about the new policy when they made a surprise visit on Monday to the Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego. ICE allowed them to enter, Levin said, but when the members asked to speak with detainees, local personnel handed them a memo outlining the new policy — dated the same day and signed by acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. In it, Lyons calls the visits disruptive and resource-intensive because they pull staff away from law enforcement duties. Lawmakers sometimes request to speak with a particular kind of detainee — for example, people held longer than 90 days — and Lyons said meeting such requests takes up too much …
