Rosetta triumphs at asteroid Lutetia
Asteroid Lutetia has been revealed as a battered world of many craters. European Space Agency's Rosetta mission has returned the first close-up images of the asteroid showing it is most probably a primitive survivor from the violent birth of the Solar System.
The flyby was a spectacular success with Rosetta performing faultlessly. Closest approach took place at 18:10 CEST, at a distance of 3162 km.
The images show that Lutetia is heavily cratered, having suffered many impacts during its 4.5 billion years of existence. As Rosetta drew close, a giant bowl-shaped depression stretching across much of the asteroid rotated into view. The images confirm that Lutetia is an elongated body, with its longest side around 130km.
The pictures come from Rosetta's OSIRIS instrument, which combines a wide angle and a narrow angle camera. At closest approach, details down to a scale of 60 m can be seen over the entire surface of Lutetia.
"I think this is a very old object. Tonight we have seen a remnant of the Solar System's creation," says Holger Sierks, OSIRIS principal investigator, Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Lindau, Germany.
Racing past an asteroid
Rosetta raced past the asteroid at 15 km/s completing the flyby in just a minute. But the cameras and other instruments had been working for hours and in some cases days beforehand, and will continue afterwards. Shortly after closest approach, Rosetta began transmitting data to Earth for processing.
Lutetia has been a mystery for many years. Ground telescopes have shown that it presents confusing characteristics. In some respects it resembles a 'C-type' asteroid, a primitive body left over from the formation of the Solar System. In others, it looks like an 'M-type'. These have been associated with iron meteorites, are usually reddish and thought to be fragments of the cores of much larger objects.
The new images and the data from Rosetta's other instruments will help to decide but not tonight. Compositional information is needed for that.
Sensors investigate Lutetia
Rosetta operated a full suite of sensors at the encounter, including remote sensing and in-situ measurements. Some of the payload of its Philae lander were also switched on. Together they looked for evidence of a highly tenuous atmosphere, magnetic effects, and studied the surface composition as well as the asteroid's density.
They also attempted to catch any dust grains that may have been floating in space near the asteroid for on-board analysis. The results from these instruments will come in time.
The flyby marks the attainment of one of Rosetta's main scientific objectives. The spacecraft will now continue to a 2014 rendezvous with its primary target, comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It will then accompany the comet for months, from near the orbit of Jupiter down to its closest approach to the Sun. In November 2014, Rosetta will release Philae to land on the comet nucleus.
"Wunderbar!' says David Southwood, ESA Director of Science and Robotic Exploration, "It has been a great day for exploration, a great day for European science. The clockwork precision is a great tribute to the scientists and engineers in our Member States in our industry and, not least, in ESA itself. Roll on 2014 and our comet rendezvous." But for now, analysing the Lutetia data is the focus for the Rosetta instrument teams. Just 24 hours ago, Lutetia was a distant stranger. Now, thanks to Rosetta, it has become a close friend.

LinkSentinel is a highly optimized C module that monitors and approves, or declines, requests for hotlink-prone content. The software uses encoded query string "tokens" that are embedded into all content references for which the module has been configured to protect. All LinkSentinel token operations are done at a very low-level of the Apache request/response cycle, so they will not interfere with the normal linking syntax for a website. In other words, LinkSentinel does -not- require that you make any changes to your web pages or layout structure. And the module works properly for dynamically generated pages as well (e.g. cgi, php). Finally, the software allows for easy configuration of the security behaviors within extremely flexible scopes: server-wide, virtualhost-specific, or directory/location specific.
As mentioned above, LinkSentinel uses special, automatically-embedded tokens. These encrypted tokens provide a robust protection based on four key principles, two of which (resource specificity, N-time-pad limitations) are completely unique to LinkSentinel and distinguish it sharply from competitive products.
Resource Specificity: Tokens are bound specifically, in a 1:1 fashion, to the anchored resource. A link for "x.mpg" cannot be modified to work for "y.mpg".
Reuse Limitations: Valid tokens can be limited to one-time-only use, or N-time-only reuse.
Time Sensitivity: Tokens are valid within a specific, limited window. A current link will not work at some specified time in the future.
Network Specificity: Tokens can be optionally constrained by the network source of the request. The IP subnet that requested the refering content must match that of the referent content.
Of course, all settings related to these key features can be customized or enabled/disabled by the site administrator.

Thousands of Cheshire residents have signed a petition calling for the creation of a dedicated Minister of Hospitality in the UK Government.
4,565 people from across the county have now signed the petition on the Parliament website, which has now reached just over 147,000 signatures in total.
A message on the page says that the petition is aiming to create a Minister for Hospitality for the current and successive governments who can "listen to concerns on taxation and legislation" and "bring forward suggestions to the chancellor and policy makers on our behalf".
The Government has stated that it 'recognises the importance of the UK's hospitality sector' and that responsibility for the sector is shared by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport.

New variant coronavirus - what we know about it so far
A Cheshire constituency breakdown of those the number of signatures can be found below:
City of Chester: 359
Congleton: 503
Crewe and Nantwich: 369
Eddisbury: 509

Halton: 205
Macclesfield : 574
Tatton : 577
Warrington North: 251
Warrington South: 534
Weaver Vale: 430
The full message on the petition reads: "The UK hospitality industry. Responsible for around 3m jobs, generating £130bn in activity, resulting in £38bn in taxation. Yet, unlike the Arts or Sports, we do not have a dedicated Minister.
"We are asking that a Minister for Hospitality be created for the current, and successive governments.
"A dedicated Minister would liaise with industry representatives. We believe such a Minister would have been beneficial to Government & Industry during the pandemic.
"As the UK seeks to encourage investment & tourism back to the UK in coming years, the vision that UK hospitality industry portrays of the UK is excellence, innovation, inspiration.
"We need a Minister who can listen to concerns on taxation & legislation and bring forward suggestions to the chancellor and policy makers on our behalf."
The Government responded to the petition on November 3. Their response read: "The Government recognises the importance of the UK's hospitality sector, which plays a vital role in supporting local communities up and down the country and the UK economy.
New variant of coronavirus detected in UK, health secretary announces
What happens when you go for a rapid coronavirus test at new Cheshire site
"The sector is extremely broad, ranging from the arts and entertainment to pubs, cafes and restaurants, and as such responsibility for the sector as a whole is shared by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport.
"Ministers in both Departments have worked closely with business leaders and representative bodies from across the sector throughout the pandemic to ensure that the interests of the hospitality businesses and their employees are fully represented within Government.
"Hospitality sector business leaders were consulted on the Government's Covid-Secure Guidance for businesses, and Ministerial engagement with the sector has helped to shape the Government's extensive package of business support measures, which has included the job retention scheme, reduced VAT, rates relief, the commercial rent moratorium, hospitality grants, loan support schemes, the self-employed income support scheme, regulatory easements to support outdoor hospitality and the Eat Out to Help Out scheme."
At the present, Paul Scully is Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Minister for Small Business, Consumers and Corporate Responsibility), with the ministry being responsible for small business and enterprise, consumer and competition, labour markets, corporate governance, insolvency, postal affairs and the retail sector.
The Parliament website states that it considers all petitions that receive more than 100,000 signatures for a debate.
Kingdom Thenga, the owner of a number of popular Chester businesses, welcomed the creation of a Minister of Hospitality.
He said: "It's a no brainer that we need a Minister of Hospitality that champions and fights our cause.
"If you look at what's happened this year, it's very clear that our industry doesn't really have a voice within parliament.
"Furthermore, it's very clear that our sector is taken for granted in terms of how many jobs we create, how many people we employ.
"Right now, you've got people like Sacha Lord, you've got the chief executive of the hospitality industry union and stuff like that trying to champion it, going into radio and TV to be able to fight for our cause, but actually in parliament, there is no one championing the fact that we've been decimated with what's happened this year.
"Just the thought process, I mean if you look at the statistics, it tells you that hospitality was not and is not the major area of infections.
"Actually, supermarkets had a higher rate and also if you go back from the beginning, they asked us to put so much money into making sure we were safe and clean and all the regulations that they put together, we followed that and still we were being slapped left, right and centre and still are."


With our latest batch of interns having just completed the theoretical portion of 'Human Movement' for our in-house internship at Strength Culture, I thought it would be a good opportunity to delve into some deeper anatomical underpinnings that aren't always discussed, however, they have great value in programming and movement considerations.
Stability: the ability to resists forces and perturbations to alignment whilst moving.
Stiffness: active and passive structures resisting movement.
Albert Einstein brought to life the idea that there is no such thing as absolute rest or absolute motion and that everything is relative within the universe. The great thing about Einstein's theories of the universe is that they are relative to human movement, too. When one joint moves we perceive that joint as the only thing moving because we reference it to stationary objects surrounding the person, however, the relative changes of surrounding joints and tissues can significantly influence muscular demands, tension and the effectiveness of your training interventions and exercise selections. Let's discuss how the theory of relativity can apply to human movement.
I was first exposed to this idea through Eric Cressey's blogs, who later led me to the well of wisdom that is Shirley Sahrmann and her textbook 'Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Systems and Impairments Syndromes'. 'Stiffness' is the ability of active and passive structures to resist movement. An example of this is when we flex the elbow, the bicep has become 'stiffer' and will no longer allow elbow extension to occur. This would be described as 'active' stiffness as it is controlled by the central nervous system. 'Passive' stiffness would be a tissue, not controlled by the central nervous system, providing stability and resisting movement of joint surfaces. The ACL provides stiffness at the knee to resist anterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur. Stiffness is similar to stability in the fact that stiff structures can resist movement/ forces, however, stiff structures have the capacity to completely change how we move through global ranges.
'Relative Movement' is easier to make sense of, as this simply relates to how one structure moves in relation to adjacent structures. An example would be when the scapular moves FORWARD and UP it is relative to the rib cage. So, moving the rib cage BACK and DOWN would achieve the exact same 'relative' movement or upward rotation.
How can Relative Stiffness and Relative Movement have impact on how we move and load the body?
When we actively engage serratus anterior in core/ flexion based drills we effectively shut down the involvement of it's antagonist muscles, of most note in this example the latissimus dorsi. This increased stiffness created by the serratus anterior effectively shuts down the lats ability to extend the lower back and drive the rib cage anteriorly. This is because the serratus anterior's function is to shift the rib cage BACK and DOWN relative to the scapluae, the direct opposite effect that the lat has on the rib cage of FORWARD and UP (extension of the lumbar spine and lower thoracic spine).
Example 1) Blue arrow depicts the Scapular moving FORWARD and UP (upward rotation) whilst the yellow arrow depicts the Rib Cage moving BACKWARD and DOWN relative to the scapular. The scapular has moved further, relative to the rib cage, than that seen in example 2 because the scapular has moved in the complete opposite direction of the rib cage. This will create more engagement of the serratus anterior as you are taking the muscle through its full ROM potential.
Example 2) Blue arrow depicts the Scapular moving FORWARD and UP (upward rotation) whilst the yellow arrow depicts the rib cage moving anteriorly. This is because the lats 'stiffness' overpowered the 'stiffness' generated by the anterior core to resist this extension moment. As a result the relative amount of upward rotation is less than the first example as the scapular has moved in the same relative direction of the rib cage and hence, less ROM has been achieved for the serratus anterior.
This is easy to experience with a simple 'reach' cue in the plank. The Plank is a great anterior core strength and endurance exercise. When you 'reach' through the floor with your elbows you can increase active stiffness in the serratus anterior, decreasing the relative stiffness of the latissimus dorsi and spinal extensors which creates a posterior shift of the rib cage, allowing far greater anterior core core engagement through spinal flexion.
Blue Arrow = Scapular/ Serratus Anterior. Yellow Arrow = Rib Cage position relative to the scapular.
As a result of the relative positional changes of the Rib Cage and Scapular in picture 2, we see the spine moves from extended to flexed and we get increased anterior core engagement.
This same phenomena is experienced with every single core/ flexion based drill. When you cue a 'reach' of your shoulder blades forward the rib cage is shifted BACK and DOWN relative to the scapular. The relative stiffness of the flexor muscles (serratus, rectus, obliques) is increased compared to the extensor muscles (lumbar spinal erectors, QLs, lats) and you engage greater amounts of the flexor muscles.
By reaching you increase the relative stiffness of all flexor muscles (serratus, rectus, obliques) in flexion based exercises.
The inability to extend the hip during deadlifts and squats at lock out because the tissues that extend the lumbar spine are 'stiffer' than the structures that extend the hip and maintain a strong core position.
Relative stiffness of lumbar erectors is greater then the anterior core and glutes.
The inability to press overhead without sacrificing lumbar spine position. The lats/ erectors are too stiff relative to the anterior core and scapular upward rotator musculature. This is a very common presentation for lifters who have inadequate range in shoulder flexion to press overhead.
The spinal extensors are 'stiffer' than the glutes, anterior core and scapular upward rotators.
Hip external rotators not allowing hip internal rotation/ adduction on the rear leg of split squat and lunge variations. Not uncommon when the lateral hip musculature becomes increasingly 'toned' due to overloaded hip external rotation ranges with minimal to no internal rotation/ adduction training or people who present with excessive lumbar extension/ anterior pelvic tilt.
The hip external rotators are too 'stiff' to allow hip internal rotation and extension to occur.
Pec minor stiffness preventing posterior scapular tilt when rowing in any variation. The pec minor directly opposes the lower trap and if the pec minor becomes short or 'tight' relative to the lower trap it will not allow a strong/ stable rowing position to be found.
In all of these examples, exercise execution trumps exercise selection. Learn to strengthen the target musculature with not only the exercises you select, but also how you execute those selected exercises. This is one of 4 'deeper underpinnings of anatomy' that we teach at Strength Culture, however, it has the most influence on how we move and direct the load/ tension different structures.

MARYVILLE, Tenn. -- The Covenant softball team fell twice to USA South foe Maryville in a doubleheader. Covenant was defeated 9-0 in the first game before falling 5-2 in the finale.
Covenant drops to 11-20 on the year and 6-8 in the USA South. Maryville, the defending USA South champions, goes to 22-8 and a perfect 14-0 in league play.
Maryville used a three-run third and a six-run fourth to defeat Covenant, 9-0, in Wednesday's opener.
Covenant was limited to just two hits in the contest, both singles from Faith Manning and Shelby Ralston, as Maryville starter Katlyn Smith went the distance. Smith (15-3) struck out six and did not walk a batter in her five-inning complete-game.
Carsyn Stone retired the first six batters she faced in her start for the Scots. However, Maryville struck for three runs on four hits in the third inning to grab a 3-0 lead. In the fourth, Maryville tacked on six runs, highlighted by Taylor Campbell's three-run homer, to extend the lead to 9-0.
Stone (4-11) got the loss after going three innings. Lauren Kierpa also threw an inning in relief.
Campbell was 2-for-3 with four RBIs to lead Maryville offensively. Morgan Brewer and Casey Joliff had two hits apiece as the host Scots collected 10 hits in the win.
Covenant battled throughout, but Maryville completed the sweep with a 5-2 victory in the finale of the twin-bill.
Maryville scored two runs in the first and would take a 5-0 lead through five innings. Covenant got on the board with single runs in the sixth and seventh innings, but Maryville would hold on for the victory.
Cope Whitaker went 3-for-3 with an RBI to lead Covenant. The Scots got on the board in the sixth with a two-out rally as Erika Mast reached on a dropped fly ball before Manning produced an infield single. Whitaker followed with a run-scoring single to right-center field that plated Mast.
Covenant got closer in the seventh as Madyson Gibbins had an infield single and a subsequent throwing error allowed Jada Allmon to score. However, Maryville starter Casey Joliff got the final out to finish off her complete-game and give Maryville the win.
Joliff (4-4) went seven innings allowing two unearned runs on seven hits. Covenant starter Sarah Huskey (3-7) went six innings and surrendered five runs with two strikeouts.
Maryville scored two runs in the first and Essence Strambler and Campbell had run-scoring hits. The host Scots then added one in the fourth and two more in the fifth, capped by a Joliff RBI single, to take a 5-0 lead.
Alexus Murray went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, while Sarah Gordon had two hits in three at-bats.
Covenant will conclude the regular season on Saturday against Huntingdon in a USA South doubleheader. First pitch from Lookout Mountain is set for 1 p.m. It will also be Senior Day as the Scots honor their three seniors (Madalyn Ames, Carsyn Stone, Carlin Labuzan).

'Loose Change' Video Proves 9/11 Was A Controlled Demolition And Inside Job
Loose Change 3rd Edition; 9/11 Truth Can No Longer Be Denied
LOOSE CHANGE films were written and directed by Dylan Avery and produced by Korey Rowe, Jason Bermas and Matthew Brown
"9/11 conspiracy theories are conspiracy theories that disagree with the widely accepted account that the September 11 attacks were perpetrated solely by al-Qaeda, without any detailed advanced knowledge on the part of any government agency. Proponents of these conspiracy theories claim there are inconsistencies in the official conclusions, or evidence which was overlooked. In a 2008 global poll of 16,063 people in 17 countries, majorities in only nine countries believe al Qaeda was behind the attacks. 46% of those surveyed believed al-Qaeda was responsible for the attacks, 15% believed the U.S. government was responsible, 7% believed Israel was and another 7% believed some other perpetrator, other than al Qaeda, was responsible. The poll found that respondents in the Middle East were especially likely to name a perpetrator other than al-Qaeda.
The most prominent conspiracy theory is that the collapse of the Twin Towers and 7 World Trade Center were the result of a controlled demolition rather than structural failure due to fire. Another prominent belief is that the Pentagon was hit by a missile launched by elements from inside the U.S. government or that a commercial airliner was allowed to do so via an effective standdown of the American military. Possible motives claimed by conspiracy theorists for such actions include justifying the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq as well as geostrategic interests in the Mideast, such as pipeline plans launched in the early 1990s by Unocal and other oil companies. Other conspiracy theories revolve around authorities having advance knowledge of the attacks and deliberately ignoring or helping to assist the attackers.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and media outlets such as Popular Mechanics have investigated and rejected the claims made by 9/11 conspiracy theories. The civil engineering community accepts that the impacts of jet aircraft at high speeds in combination with subsequent fires, not controlled demolition, led to the collapse of the Twin Towers."

Q: Does sort --unique -k drop duplicates in original order? I'm doing a unique sort on a concatenated set of index files where the first column will sometimes change between each index and the second column will be a key value (actually hex addresses). Each indexN file iteration records addresses that changed since the prior one -- if address 0xaa11 exists in index3, in the merged+sorted output it should replace the 0xaa11 address references from index1 and index2.
The question is, can I do this type of merge reliably with a tool like GNU sort if I merely pipe each source index to sort -u in a certain order?
For example, pipe indexes newest to oldest:
cat index3 index2 index1 | sort -u -k 2,2

When I test this, it does seem to preserve the lines from index3 containing addresses that also appear in index2 and index1, while removing those duplicate references coming from index2 and index1.
But will that always be the case? The sort man page is vague about this:
-u --unique   output only the first of an equal run

I don't know enough about GNU sort's algorithms to predict whether lines with matching keys will always sort into the same order in which their source files were concatenated (e.g. the order they appear in the source stream). But I do know that sort algorithms don't always work in a linear fashion. That's why I'm looking for clarification of what sort's documentation seems to imply.

A: sort does not guarantee the order of lines that are equal for its purposes, unless you explicitly request this with the -s switch (--stable: stabilize sort by disabling last-resort comparison) – a stable sort algorithm is one that does not change the original order of equal items.
However, the info page informs us that -u "also disables the default last-resort comparison", so yeah, you should be fine, but it's entirely not obvious from the manpage.

Candidate Conundrum: What if both candidates support issues contrary to Catholic Social Teaching?
Friday, Oct 31, 2014
Sometimes we are confronted with an election in which the candidates for both major political parties support issues contrary to Catholic Social Teaching.
What do we do? Not vote?
That's when we look for guidance in "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship," a booklet published by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
"Faithful Citizenship" tells us that "in the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation." (paragraph 13)
For the specific dilemma outlined, "Faithful Citizenship" offers the following guidance:
"The voter may decide to take the extraordinary step of not voting for any candidate or, after careful deliberation, may decide to vote for the candidate deemed less likely to advance such a morally flawed position and more likely to pursue other authentic human goods. … These decisions should take into account a candidate's commitments, character, integrity, and ability to influence a given issue." (paragraphs 36-37)
Please vote on Nov. 4, and do so with a well-informed conscience.

GM CFO's exit latest in Detroit vs. Silicon Valley tug-of-war for talent
Hannah Lutz
DETROIT — The Detroit 3 have been working to fend off challenges from tech companies that want to disrupt the auto industry, and General Motors CFO Dhivya Suryadevara's sudden departure shows that automakers have to compete with Silicon Valley for executives as well as for customers.
But Suryadevara's move to Stripe, an online payment processor that has become one of the world's most valuable startups, also validates the auto industry's growing bench of coveted talent.
"What you're seeing is talent being developed and then being sought after. That's kind of a good problem to have. Maybe now after her doing well there, it will be easier to recruit," said Mike Ramsey, an analyst at Gartner. "It's a recognition that there is talent [in Detroit] instead of it being the other way around."
Suryadevara: Joining startup
Suryadevara, 41, played key roles in GM's sell-off of Opel, purchase of Cruise Automation and 2018 restructuring plan. Another top GM executive, Alicia Boler Davis, who was head of global manufacturing operations, left the company last year to become vice president of global customer fulfillment at Amazon.
Meanwhile, Ford Motor Co. last year hired Amazon veteran Tim Stone as its CFO, showing that the talent pipeline between Detroit and the West Coast can flow the opposite direction, too.
GM's board and senior management will conduct an extensive internal and external search for a new CFO, said Steve Carlisle, president of GM North America. "We're confident that we'll find an exceptionally strong candidate. We won't miss a beat," he said.
Stone: Amazon vet hired by Ford
Whether GM will promote from within or hire from outside the company is a toss-up, said David Whiston, an analyst with Morningstar. Given its diverse board of directors, Whiston wouldn't be surprised if GM tapped an outsider. But Suryadevara's success proved that GM can elevate talent from within, Ramsey said.
Carlisle last week said GM has confidence in acting CFO John Stapleton. Stapleton, 52, who had been GM's North American CFO since January 2014, has held a series of finance roles since joining GM in 1990.
"He's been a significant contributor to the great execution and the profit picture in North America," Carlisle said.
Dhivya's deals
Outgoing GM CFO Dhivya Suryadevara had key roles in these events:
2012: Offloading $29 billion in pension liabilities
2016: Acquiring Cruise Automation and investing $500 million in Lyft
2017: Selling Opel to PSA
2018: Securing $5 billion in investments in Cruise by Softbank and Honda Motor Co.
2018: Launching a $6 billion restructuring plan
2019: Restarting operations and managing losses after a 40-day UAW strike
2020: Cutting costs, pulling $16 billion from existing credit lines to double cash reserves and suspending quarterly common-stock dividend and share buybacks amid the coronavirus pandemic. GM nearly broke even in North America in the 2nd quarter, despite its plants being closed for several weeks.
Cheering from the sidelines
Before becoming GM's first female CFO nearly two years ago, Suryadevara held various roles in GM's finance office and at GM Asset Management in New York since 2004. Suryadevara, who grew up in India and moved to the U.S. at age 22 to attend Harvard Business School, said in a LinkedIn post last week that leaving GM was a difficult decision.
"I am proud of what we accomplished together as a team during my time with GM," she wrote. "I will be cheering for the team from the sidelines and I have full confidence that this team will lead GM into the future."
Suryadevara gained respect among investors for providing direct, clear answers to their questions. As soon as she became CFO, she recognized that investors wanted to hear about cash flow and homed in on it.
"It's refreshing when you get someone who will basically tell you what is actually happening, rather than making you connect the dots between a bunch of different things," Ramsey said.
"If you tell the truth and point out the flaws, [investors] are more likely to believe your good stuff, too. That's probably one of the benefits she had."
Restructuring, pandemic
GM began a wide-ranging restructuring plan just two months after Suryadevara was named CFO. It included eliminating 15 percent of GM's North American salaried jobs and ending production at five North American plants to cut $6 billion in costs.
A month into the coronavirus pandemic, Suryadevara provided a detailed scenario for the second half of 2020. She said in a 14-million-unit industry with no disruption to production, GM expected $7 billion to $9 billion in cash generation in the second half of the year, which would help repay debt and offset the cash burn in the first half of the year.
"That should be how all companies communicate," Whiston said.
Suryadevara is trading a job with a complex balance sheet to work for Stripe, an asset-light company that is rumored to go public soon.
"It's a good opportunity for her. It's just a real shame for GM," Whiston said.
Stripe is valued at $36 billion, almost matching GM's market cap of about $40 billion, despite having a fraction of the automaker's revenue. Stripe was founded in 2010 and counts Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Zillow, Expedia, Uber and Lyft among its customers.
