ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The independent Cyber Safety Review Board issued a critical report, blaming Microsoft's operational and strategic choices for allowing a successful Chinese hacking campaign against top US officials. It suggests a thorough revamp of Microsoft's security setup as a solution for preventing such incidents in the future. Europe's solar industry faces a decline due to a surplus of solar panels while demand decreases. This imbalance is largely caused by China overwhelming the global market with inexpensive products. Chinese automaker BYD is undercutting its competitor Tesla by offering brand new electric vehicles at an average price $30,000 less than the latter. It accomplishes this by manufacturing in Mexico, thus bypassing the high U.S. tariffs. As China tightens its control over the electric vehicle market, discussions regarding the implications of this development are underway. A significant earthquake in Taiwan has led to shutting down of some chip fabrication plants by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. This has also caused internet outages coinciding with Japan issuing a tsunami warning. Presidential primaries will be happening in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. David Carlucci, a former NY Senator, emphasises the importance of young minority voters for President Biden, despite their disengagement. Voting took place in Manhattan, New York, on April 2, 2024. Voters prioritize economy, crime, and immigration over issues like abortion, according to The Federalist's election correspondent, Brianna Lyman. She emphasizes the importance of states like Michigan and Wisconsin for both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Work crews have managed to open a second temporary channel, providing a limited bypass around the wreckage of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge. With this development, some marine traffic can now access the port, which was completely blocked off since the bridge's destruction a week ago. Efforts are being made to create a third channel for accommodating larger vessels. Amidst this chaos, the Dali, a giant container ship from Singapore, remains lodged within the bridge's ruins. The Pentagon has officially set up the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy under the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act. The new office will be led by Ashley Manning, a Pentagon veteran of over 15 years. On April 2, the White House criticized former President Donald Trump for naming his rally "Biden's Border Bloodbath", labeling it as dangerous rhetoric. This information surfaced during the daily news briefing held by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Meghan Brown, a former JP Morgan employee, was granted $35 million in a lawsuit due to a brain injury she suffered from a glass door collapse. The decision was given by a New York jury following a three-week trial, almost ten years after the incident. In Wisconsin, 9.2% of the votes were cast 'uninstructed'.
