San Francisco is on the point of vote on whether or not to revive its so-called Overpaid CEO Tax, a measure with a title straight out of a Bluesky focus group — designed to sugar-coat its precise influence. Not in contrast to a class president’s new Free Ice Cream initiative failing to reveal the ice cream in query might be completely anchovy-flavored, town controller’s workplace is out with a new examine that reads much less like an financial evaluation and more like a fundamental lesson out of Econ 101.

2. Stanford’s ‘Evil’ Culture
by Elsa Johnson
Last week, Stanford undergrad Theo Baker launched “How to Rule the World,” a memoir about his expertise at my college. Baker exposes a half of the tradition right here, whereby shady Silicon Valley tech moguls and enterprise capitalists wine and dine Stanford’s most desired college students with yacht events and pre-idea funding… and I’ve a confession to make. This is all true. It can be, kind of, the entire level of Stanford. Yes, the get together scene is lame, and the striver tradition might be unbearable, however Stanford additionally assembles probably the most good younger minds in America after which deploys them into the industries that really matter. You don’t need a secret society to get forward right here, and you don’t need to be plucked from a pre-professional membership… if you’re sensible and savvy enough, massively profitable firms come knocking. Baker frames that as a scandal. But it’s really how we escape the everlasting underclass. The machine is working as designed, thanks.

Ferrari unveiled the Luce on Monday, its first totally electric model: a teardrop-shaped, glassy, two-toned little pod with none of the aggression or bravado you’d count on from an Italian sports activities car. It’s the consequence of a five-year collaboration with LoveFrom, the studio based by Apple designer and famous Ferrari collector Jony Ive, and reactions ranged from “ew” to “jfc why does every car have to look like this now,” whereas Wall Street analysis analysts referred to as it a “mix between a Honda Accord EV and Tesla 3.” Call me quaint, however a $640K car shouldn’t seem like some bigger model of your $300 AirPods case. Give me flourish, impracticality, make it sharp, fantastically menacing, RED! A Bond villain ought to look natural behind the wheel, winding by means of the hills above Monte Carlo. If I needed a car that appears like a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy, I would simply buy a Volkswagen.
