🇸🇳 Senegal launches Africa's first EV bus network
The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, which hit the streets of capital Dakar and its suburbs on Wednesday, aims to revolutionize transportation in the traffic-choked metropolis. As the only BRT system in Africa with EV buses, it features dedicated lanes running throughout the city.
The network is being implemented in phases, with plans to extend it along 18 km of lanes and serve 300,000 passengers daily. Currently, only 14 out of 25 stations are operational. Unfortunately, the BRT's infrastructure sustained significant damage during recent political unrest, but efforts are underway to restore its facilities.

MIT students stole $25M in 12 seconds using ETH blockchain bug to their advantage - DOJ says
Within 12 seconds, two highly educated brothers allegedly stole $25 million by tampering with the ethereum blockchain in a first-of-its-kind cryptocurrency scheme, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday. The DOJ press release, US Attorney Damian Williams said the scheme was so sophisticated that it "calls the very integrity of the blockchain into question."
The alleged scheme was launched by Anton, 24, and James Peraire-Bueno, 28, in December 2022 at MIT, the indictment said. The brothers were arrested and charged Tuesday, potentially facing decades in prison.
Wasn’t crypto supposed to be ‘un-hackable’?

Cops retake University of California, Irvine building from protestors
Officers from around 10 law enforcement agencies responded to the university's pleas for help dealing with pro-Palestinian protestors who had occupied a lecture hall for several hours, arresting an unspecified number of demonstrators.
The university had declared the action a "violent protest" after up to 300 protestors had swarmed the hall, adjacent to an encampment that had sprung up last month.
Chancellor Howard Gillman said attempts to move the action to an "appropriate and non-disruptive" alternative location had failed.

Elon Musk’s mass firings of Tesla Supercharger staff revealed - Reuters
The day before Elon Musk fired virtually all of Tesla’s electric-vehicle charging division last month, they had high hopes as charging chief Rebecca Tinucci had cut between 15% and 20% of staffers two weeks earlier. Musk was supposed to affirm plans for a massive charging-network.
But Musk’s private meeting with Tinucci went awful and he wanted more layoffs, she wouldn’t do it. So, Musk did it himself and then promised to continue expanding the network. The EV-charging business requires substantial upfront investment, and analysts have often viewed it as unprofitable. But Tesla’s network had been profitable.
This was all Musk’s ego…

Magician David Copperfield accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women - The Guardian
The claims against the 67-year-old illusionist David Copperfield he has denied – spanning from the late 1980s to 2014. More than half of the allegations are from women who said they were under 18 at the time of the incidents. Many of the women say they were drugged and sexually assaulted.
In other cases, women claimed that Copperfield had groped them or made them touch him in a sexual way during live performances on stage. Family members of one 15-year-old who were seated in the audience claim they witnessed him grope her breasts. Copperfield was a part of Epstein-related court documents that were unsealed in January.
