Google halts construction on its 80-acre San Jose campus
with NO plans to restart in the 'near future' as company slashes costs by laying off workers and cutting perks
* Google is halting construction on its planned 80-acre campus in San Jose
* The company has already gutted its development team for the campus
* Rising interest rates and fears of a recession have forced cuts at Alphabet
Google is halting construction on its 80-acre campus in San Jose with no plans to pick it up again in the 'near future,' as they begin a series of layoffs and cost cutting measures.
The Google village, named Downtown West, would have included shops, restaurants, a hotel, and cultural and entertainment hubs, as well as potentially acting as the campus for 25,000 Google employees.
The company gutted its development team for the campus - which they said would have an economic impact of $19billion - earlier this year in a series of downsizing efforts as the economy gets worse for big tech.
Rising interest rates and fears that the country is on the brink of a recession have forced the cuts.
The plan was to break ground on the site before 2023 ended but it was paused after worries of delays at the start of the year, with no plan to begin again. …

Family of Halyna Hutchins to proceed with civil lawsuit against Alec Baldwin
The family of Halyna Hutchins will continue its civil lawsuit against Alec Baldwin over her death, despite criminal charges against the actor being formally dismissed.
Legal representatives for the family said Baldwin could not “escape from the fact that he had a major role in a tragedy”.
It comes after New Mexico prosecutors formally dismissed charges of involuntary manslaughter brought against Baldwin on Friday.
The actor had been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter following the fatal shooting of cinematographer Ms Hutchins during a rehearsal on the set of his movie Rust in Santa Fe, New Mexico in October 2021.
Prosecutors said while they were currently unable to proceed with the case, the decision to dismiss the charges did not “absolve Mr Baldwin of criminal culpability” and that investigations would continue.
The family of Ms Hutchins filed a civil lawsuit on February 9 to sue both the actor and the Rust movie production company for alleged battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and loss of consortium.
Loss of consortium is a claim which seeks to recover compensation for damage to certain relationships that are mutually dependent.
On Friday, US lawyer Gloria Allred, who represents Ms Hutchins’ family, said she was “committed to proceeding” with the civil lawsuit. …

Explorers find WWII ship sunk with over 1,000 Allied POWs
SYDNEY (AP) — A team of explorers announced it found a sunken Japanese ship that was transporting Allied prisoners of war when it was torpedoed off the coast of the Philippines in 1942, resulting in Australia’s largest maritime wartime loss with a total of 1,080 lives.
The wreck of the Montevideo Maru was located after a 12-day search at a depth of over 4000 meter (13,120 feet) — deeper than the Titanic — off Luzon island in the South China Sea, using an autonomous underwater vehicle with in-built sonar.
There will be no efforts to remove artifacts or human remains out of respect for the families of those who died, said a statement Saturday from the Sydney-based Silentworld Foundation, a not-for-profit dedicated to maritime archaeology and history. It took part in the mission together with Dutch deep-sea survey specialists Fugro and Australia’s Defense Department.
“The extraordinary effort behind this discovery speaks for the enduring truth of Australia’s solemn national promise to always remember and honour those who served our country,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said. “This is the heart and the spirit of Lest We Forget.”
The Montevideo Maru was transporting prisoners and civilians who were captured after the fall of Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. The ship was not marked as carrying POWs, and on July 1, 1942, the American submarine Sturgeon, after stalking the ship through the night, fired four torpedoes, which found their target, sinking the vessel in less than 10 minutes.
Those killed included 1,080 people from 14 nations, including 979 Australians.
“Families waited years for news of their missing loved ones, before learning of the tragic outcome of the sinking,” said Silentworld director John Mullen. “Some never fully came to accept that their loved ones were among the victims. Today, by finding the vessel, we hope to bring closure to the many families devastated by this terrible disaster.”

HORRIBLE - SENT TO ME:
This iswhat the Dept of State has been telling Americans trapped in #Sudanbefore the military evacuation today of only government personnel. Many Americans trapped in Sudan, I am told. They may not be evacuated like those at the embassy.

>He agreed about china being a great threat.
He moar than "agreed"!
FACTS MATTER
He made the policy statement.
for what it is worth, this anon has been Trust Pence. And, it was actually affirmed to me with this post
and the surrounding anon interactions on the boards that night.
>Flynn says there is no plan
Flynn doesn't know the plan.
Less than 6 military know the plan.
Trump knows the plan.
Pence knows the plan.
And, one more non-military knows the plan.
Yesterday we all found out that Flynn is Part of "The Plan". With his roll starting in a year and a half (if he stays healthy, KEK).
