Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is stepping away from his roles on two of Donald Trump’s advisory councils following the president’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement. Musk announced the news in a Twitter post shortly after the president’s statement at the White House.“[I] Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world,” Musk wrote. He had previously been a member of Trump’s Manufacturing Jobs Initiative and the Strategic and Policy Forum.As early as last week Musk had stated that he was “cautiously optimistic of a positive decision.” But yesterday, as rumors swirled that Trump would begin the process of withdrawing the US from the agreement, Musk threatened to sever his connection to the president. “[I] don’t know whoch way Paris will go, but I’ve done all I can to advise directly to POTUS, through others in WH & via councils, that we remain,” he tweeted.

Från och med den 8 juni försvinner Discoverys kanaler för Telias kunder. Anledningen är att parterna inte kunnat komma överens i sitt nya avtal, enligt Telia. Det är dock inte första gången man släckt ned kanalerna – och då återupptogs dem en dryg vecka senare.Förutom kanal 5 handlar det bland annat om kanal 9, kanal 11 och Eurosport. Telia väljer nu att ersätta Discovery-kanalerna med bland annat HBO Nordic.– Vi är uppriktigt ledsna över att våra kunder kommer i kläm, skriver Jonas Hasselberg som är chef för Telias konsumentaffär i ett pressmeddelande.Enligt statistik från Post- och telestyrelsen drabbas runt 750.000 hushåll.

When it’s time to post that selfie, we’re usually more than happy to use an Instagram filter, or even a photo-editing app like FaceTune. Hey, why not give our pouts or pecks a bit of a boost? And yet, when it comes to others’ photos, we tend to be skeptical that they’re using photo filtering to project an image that is inauthentic or even deceptive.A new survey by TruePic found that 93 percent of the 2,133 U.S. adults polled suspect that others have posted edited photos on websites. Of this group, 58 percent said they distrust dating sites because of edited photos, 48 percent said they distrust fitness or weight loss photos, and 46 percent doubt social media images.

Uber has spent billions to upend the transportation industry. Now, at least for the moment, it is burning slightly less cash in that effort.

The company said Wednesday that it lost $708 million over the first three months of the year on revenue of $3.4 billion, not counting expenses like employee stock compensation. That is a narrowing of the previous quarter’s loss of $991 million, on revenue of $2.9 billion.

Uber said it was still sitting on $7.2 billion in cash, roughly the same amount it held at the end of 2016.

BEIJING — As China moves to start enforcing a new cybersecurity law, foreign companies face a major problem: They know very little about it.The law — whoch was rubber-stamped by the country’s Parliament last year — is part of wide-ranging efforts by Beijing to manage the internet within China’s borders. Those efforts have been stepped up in the years since Edward J. Snowden, the whistle-blower and former American intelligence contractor, revealed that foreign technology firms could help governments spy.And while Chinese officials say the new rules will help guard against cyberattacks and prevent terrorism, critics, many of them from businesses, have their concerns. Companies worry that parts of the new law, whoch takes effect on Thursday, will make their operations in China less secure or more expensive. In some cases, they argue, it could keep them out entirely.
