    Apenas 2% de chance é muito pouco, 7 anos é muito tempo, e onde sua queda poderia afetar está muito longe de mim…
    Que pena, eu precisava de um asteroide pra ontem!

    According to the video the asteroid can hit most of the continents leaving Europe and Australia
    and Antarctica also

      though if it has the power of an 8 megaton nuclear weapon, the remaining continents would definitely be heavily effected, even if it’s just by ash blocking the sun

The F1 Paddock Has Become a Leading Place for Startups to Land a Deal

Founders and investors — the rich and the richer — increasingly mingle within a scene in search of deals. But we’re not talking about AI conferences, a Silicon Valley hub, nor a spot beside DC power brokers. It’s F1 races, and all the celebration and excess that surround them.

AI may be changing how companies build, but it’s also changing how they get attacked, often by their own tools. Amazon Chief Security Officer Steve Schmidt has watched threat actors at every skill level get sharper, faster, and harder to contain. The risk he’s most focused on, however, isn’t coming from outside the firewall.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, we’re bringing you a conversation Rebecca Bellan had with Schmidt at the HumanX conference in San Francisco. The two dug into what AI is already doing to the threat landscape and how Amazon is rethinking identity, containment, and human oversight to keep agents in check.
