El discurso con el que Musk presume de sus robots evidencia el preocupante 'problema de diseño' que tenemos los humanos
Musk prometió que sus robots Optimus podrán cuidar a los niños, pasear al perro o cortar el césped: eso dice más de nosotros como especie de lo que te imaginas.Alberto R. Aguiar (Business Insider España)

Read about True Value hardware declaring bankruptcy today: finance.yahoo.com/news/true-va…
Which seemed odd to me, as they've been around for long time selling low-priced items.
It took me exactly one search to find perhaps another reason beyond the claimed "the housing market stalled and consumers have become far more picky about discretionary purchases like hardware” for the news:
True Value was a co-op that demutualized and sold itself to private equity. After draining it, private equity chaptered it and sold it to … a cooperative!
