> Last week, a Tesla Model Y with the word “ROBOTAXI” scratched into its side and no one in the driver seat made a turn off Austin’s bustling South Congress Avenue. Another Tesla, described by autonomous vehicle experts as a “chase vehicle,” followed closely behind.
>
> Tesla CEO Elon Musk commented on the clip, seemingly confirming that the lead car was one of roughly 10 vehicles comprising the company’s robotaxi fleet, expected to make their official debut sometime next week. If that does occur, it will come nearly nine years after Musk first pitched the idea of a “Tesla Network” in which Tesla owners could add their vehicles to an autonomous ridehail fleet. And it will also be made possible, in no small part, by the state of Texas’ laissez-faire, AV-friendly regulatory environment.

US Government Will Print $9T, Says Arthur Hayes

> On April 13, Arizona Hot Springs and Goldstrike Trails in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area announced the closing of several trails after one death and the rescue of several hikers under extremely hot temperatures. The incident showcases the dangers that National Parks and similar wilderness areas pose to visitors, especially those who come underprepared. Unfortunately, events like this aren’t uncommon in U.S. National Parks and National Recreation Areas. About 19 people die each year at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which is popular for boating, tragically leading to drowning deaths also. Deaths in the area over the years have been a mix of drownings, boat and traffic accidents, medical problems, suicides and even homicides. The Grand Canyon National Park is seeing an average of 12 deaths a year, which can occur due to falls, medical problems, heat, traffic accidents and drowning, among others.

> - Bitcoin’s onchain transaction activity has declined sharply in recent months as increased institutional participation shifts more activity off-chain, according to analysts at Glassnode.

> As expected, the Fed decided to keep its policy rate steady for the fourth consecutive time this year. Following the regularly scheduled two-day meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) that concluded on Wednesday, Fed chairman Jerome Powell announced that the target range for the federal funds rate would be kept at 4.25 to 4.50 for the time being, saying that it was still too early to predict the tariff impact on prices and the economy and that the committee felt well-positioned to continue to wait and see.
>
> "Changes to trade, immigration, fiscal and regulatory policies continue to evolve, and their effects on the economy remain uncertain," Powell said. "The effects of tariffs will depend, among other things, on their ultimate level. Expectations of that level, and thus of the related economic effects, reached a peak in April and have since declined. Even so, increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity."

The End Of Cat Breed Of The Day

I'm not really into cat/dog breeds. I actually prefer mutts, but I gotta admit, I ended up learning a few things about cat breeds. It's not easy to come up with a topic that has stuff to talk about every single day for so long. 

Anyway, here's a list of the cat breed posts:
