Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
"You don't need a DEA warrant or a Justice Department subpoena to see the trend: Europe's 90‑plus‑percent dependency on US cloud infrastructure, as former European Commission advisor Cristina Caffarra put it, is a single‑shock‑event security nightmare waiting to rupture the EU's digital stability."

Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native

Opinion: Just because you're paranoid about digital sovereignty doesn't mean they're not after you

You Are Being Misled About Renewable Energy Technology [Technology Connections]

It was challenging to figure out where to put this. It's also environment, and it turns sharply political for Act III.

If you're already familiar with renewables, there's not a lot to learn here but the comparisons with fossil fuels and ethanol. Given that I've been on solar since 2023, I appreciated what he was saying to the uninitiated.

Get yourself some Act II if you plan on making it all the way through ... it's an hour and a half.

Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained
The immediate catalyst, it seems, is an intensifying focus on capex, or capital expenditures. Microsoft revealed that its spending surged 66% to $37.5 billion in the latest quarter, even as growth in its Azure cloud business cooled slightly. Even more concerning to analysts, however, was a new disclosure that approximately 45% of the company’s $625 billion in remaining performance obligations (RPO)—a key measure of future cloud contracts—is tied directly to OpenAI, the company revealed after reporting earnings Wednesday afternoon. (Microsoft is both a major investor in and a provider of cloud-computing services to OpenAI.)

Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained

Microsoft’s stock has plummeted 12% owing to a slight miss on revenue, showing how spooked investors are by the “spend now, profit later” AI market.

The entire western world is complicit in Gaza's genocide and supporting Israel. Some are just better and more convincing at pretending they care about Palestinians than others. The actions (and lack thereof) tell the real story very clearly though.

Canada has changed some of it's international student policies and a whole shitload of international students are not getting in. This headline is a great example of propaganda. I agree that Canada should take a more definitive stand and not the wishy-washy stand they've been taking, but this post is intentionally misleading.

So they think they'll bomb and invade Iran and knock out its government, then the people will take to the streets and greet them as liberators? Maybe with flowers? I think I've heard this one before somewhere.

Trump will hope that Iran will collapse after a limited missile strike and the angry mobs will do the rest. It won't be simple and it's obvious he's delayed the attack so far.

Nah. Trump will bomb a couple of random Iranian targets, claim that the grand-pumbah of islam was killed and then he'll declare victory and leave, just like last time. Iran will shoot 1000+ missiles at Israel, Israel will spend $200million of US military AID to blow up 90% of the missiles and the remaining missiles will kill 17 people and then Iran will declare victory. Israel will sortie 2 American f-16's to blow up some long abandon "nuclear sites," and then Benjamin will get his propaganda win.

At the end of the day a few billion dollars will be wasted, and literally nothing of substance will happen.

Don't count on it being so easy. Israel won't shoot down 90% of missiles. Remember that last year Iran warned israel and told them where the missiles were coming from. This time it could be all-out war, with iran using its newest missile tech.

Well, they released more Epstein files damning the president, and he tried “kill an American citizen” last week and is still dealing with that fallout, so yes, he may try to create a distraction somewhere else in the world this weekend.

Any Canadian still going to the Fourth Reich (unless it is a life or death situation) is an open supporter of fascism. Every dollar spent there funds and gives moral support to Nazis. Unfortunately too many people have zero social or class consciousness.

The blatant disregard or lack of training on the Jay treaty needs to be fixed. These people have the legal right to both travel and work freely. This is something that isn’t even up for debate.

Unfortunately, treaties and the like are only as good as the good faith effort to both enforce them and understand them.

It’s one of many cogs in the machine that are breaking down right now. We have lots of things to address in the current political climate, of course, but this is one more thing that we’re going to need to add to the list of cog mending…

I dont see this as black and white at all. What alternative is there to un? Now dont get me wrong, the real role of un and the one it ought to have have little in common, but still I wouldnt argue for its end, now that it could help against israel, in whatever small way it can. Also idk why should it become better for states outside of global north, I dont see any indication.
