美国证券交易委员会向特斯拉发传票，洛杉矶扫描地铁乘客的爆炸物，以及更多头条新闻

[英爪功]

据“纽约时报”报道，美国证券交易委员会在首席执行官埃隆马斯克（Elon Musk）关于将这家电动汽车制造商私有化的推文后向特斯拉提供了传票。本周早些时候，该公司董事会成员敦促结束推文，其中包括对资金的“可疑”断言。特斯拉聘请了两家律师事务所代表他们。

The SEC has served Tesla with a subpoena following tweets by CEO Elon Musk about taking the electric-car maker private, reports The New York Times. Earlier this week, the company’s board members urged an end to the tweeting, which has included “dubious” assertions about funding. Tesla has hired two law firms to represent them.

洛杉矶将成为美国第一个使用便携式扫描仪来检测地铁乘客是否携带武器和爆炸物的城市。安装在轮子上的装置可以检测30英尺以内的物品，每小时扫描多达2,000个乘客。 TSA与该市合作测试这些仪器。在去年在港务局的时代广场地铁站发生自杀性爆炸事件之后，该公司还与纽约和新泽西州合作。该项目将于今年晚些时候开始。

Los Angeles is to become the first city in the country to use portable scanners to screen the bodies of metro riders for weapons and explosives. The units mounted on wheels can detect such items from up to 30 feet away, scanning as many as 2,000 bodies an hour. TSA, which partnered with the city to test the units, is also working with New York and New Jersey in the wake of last year’s attempted suicide bombing at the Port Authority's Times Square subway station. The project will begin later this year.

在信用评估公司剥离一些非贷款收款账户和其他负面信用信息后，数百万美国消费者看到他们的信用评分上升，这可以追溯到2015年与州检察长达成和解。负面的信用信息 - 包括医疗债务收集已由保险公司支付 - 可能不准确或未能反映还款努力。

Millions of U.S. consumers have seen their credit scores bump up after reporting firms began stripping out some non-loan collections accounts and other negative credit information, following settlements with state attorneys general dating back to 2015. The negative credit information — including medical-debt collections that have been paid by an insurance company — can be inaccurate or fail to reflect repayment efforts.

据“信息报”报道，优步正面临一些投资者的压力，他们认为自动驾驶部门应该被剥离。在过去的18个月里，这款骑行应用程序在其无人驾驶设备上每季度花费了1.25亿至2亿美元，相当于该公司季度亏损的15％至30％。这一启示显示该项目对优步的成本有多高 - 在过去三年中，该公司至少花费了20亿美元。

Uber is facing pressure from some investors who think its self-driving unit should be divested, reports The Information. The ride-hailing app has spent between $125 million and $200 million a quarter over the past 18 months on its driverless unit, equaling to between 15% and 30% of the company’s quarterly losses. The revelation shows how costly the project is for Uber — over the past three years, the company has spent at least $2 billion on it.

在过去的三个月里，餐馆的消费以创纪录的速度飙升。 7月销售额增长1.3％至616亿美元，导致三个月的年化收益率为25.3％。一种解释是，美国人将减税现金用于外出就餐，而另一种解释是菜单价格上涨，因为餐馆会抵消最低工资和租金成本的上涨。

Spending at restaurants has soared at a record pace over the past three months. Sales rose 1.3% in July to $61.6 billion, leading to a three-month annualized gain of 25.3%. One explanation is that Americans are spending cash from tax cuts on dining out, while another is the increase in menu prices as restaurants counter a rise in minimum wages and rent costs.

感觉时间的压力会妨碍创造性思维，但如果我们更好地理解时间的心理，我们可以开始让它对我们有利，奥美首席战略官凯文切斯特斯说。

“我们无法创造时间。或弯曲时间。直到他们发明了Hermione Granger时间转换器之一，我们才能让它倒退。但我们可以改变与它的关系。“

Idea of the Day: Feeling pressed for time can hinder creative thinking, but if we better understand the psychology of time, we can start to make it work in our favour, says Ogilvy chief strategy officer Kevin Chesters.

“We can’t create time. Or bend time. And until they invent one of those Hermione Granger time-turners we can’t make it run backwards either. But we can change our relationship with it.”
