NYT: Michelle Goldberg: The Tell-All Book That Facebook Doesn’t Want You to Read
Hopefully, Meta’s ham-handed attempt at censorship will lead more people to read Wynn-Williams’s book, a darkly hilarious, shocking tale that starts as farce and ends as tragedy. It combines withering portraits of Facebook’s insular, callous leadership with harrowing details of what Wynn-Williams calls the company’s “lethal carelessness” on the global stage. The writer and producer Armando Iannucci should option it; the narrative is often as absurd as his great show “Veep,” even if its characters are considerably more ruthless. It’s not surprising that Zuckerberg and his underlings don’t want you to read it.
TechCrunch: Coreshell has a plan to slash the price of American-made batteries
Silicon anodes have been eyed for years as a replacement for graphite. They hold about 10 times more electrons than graphite anodes, meaning each cell needs less materials. But silicon is notoriously brittle in batteries.
Startups like Sila and Group14 have found ways to make silicon anode materials that don’t crumble, and they’re working on mass-producing them now. But the type of silicon they require is expensive to produce, which so far has limited their appeal to luxury automakers like Mercedes and Porsche.
Coreshell says it can use much cheaper metallurgical-grade silicon, which Ferroglobe said it can supply entirely from its U.S. operations. By coating small beads of silicon with its proprietary material, Coreshell has found a way to stabilize it so it doesn’t degrade over the thousand-plus charge-discharge cycles a typical EV is expected to endure.
